Also, I would post to HN only when hiring remotely, because it's a great source to find remote workers? A better analysis would be job boards in general?

Here in Australia we have been pretty blessed with pretty good ISPs. In the earlier days we had Internode (locally here in Perth it was iiNet for me for a while :)), which had a Usenet mirror (!) and were the first ISP I believe to offer AD

Hetzner also do some crazy-cool stuff, especially around the 7950X3D, cooling, AM5 etc. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2P8mjWRqpk ). They also do some amazing stuff with ARM (their cloud offering is really solid for this)

Yep. And then investing in setting up a PIKVM has been the biggest gamechanger for me. You can grab a Pi4, then the rest of the parts from a reputable seller on aliexpress for a pretty decent price (HDMI thingy that plugs into the camera ou

Comes down to power consumption at the end of the day. I worked out running a homelab was cheaper than cloud (for personal projects). You're also better off with a newer consumer-level processor, the advancements made is that they use

This should be honestly a top priority, and has never been. For specific place names, it's super annoying. Especially for products -- Worst case is when I looked earlier there is STILL MALWARE on Bing for searches like "google chr

How much has been fixed for this, as of June 2023? I quite like it has a Plex replacement, it passes the "partner test" AND the "parent test" - they can both install the app and watch what they want (as long as they turn

AMD's Phenom II let you unlock the locked fourth core, if you so dared.. allowing you to save like ~$50 on the higher chip. But it could be unstable.

Ticking boxes is fun and all, but I like it because it at least gets everyone on the same page for features, functions, etc across databases.

You are probably aware, but for. others with ccache this is called "cache sloppiness", which is my favourite term. You can set this via config, as by default ccache is paranoid about being correct. But you can tweak it with things

It all depends on the stability of where your workstation is in terms of internet. Latency is the killer depending where you are from. I'm use to 260-280ms latency, which is a lot better than it use to be. Perth, Australia. Glad they f

Fdroid is amazing. If you use it and your download speeds are crazy slow, double check the mirrors. Today I was shaving an issue where downloading was extremely slow, I ended up picking another mirror and my speed went from 2kb/s to in

We've been having good success with Graviton 3 for our small data-processing workloads. It seems with Apple now focusing on AARCH64 the architecture being taken seriously by developers (because ya know, phones, raspberry pis etc weren&

This is why Tabnine got e super excited, until I ran across the issue where they think their results are better than what the IDE gives you, which is incredibly annoying. https://github.com/codota/tabnine-intellij/

Langchain wrote about LLMs and SQL, and although it's about SQL, it's still a great read, especially the references. https://blog.langchain.dev/llms-and-sql/ I'm also super keen for the 32k API limit for

I really like "modern SQL". Snowflake has some great functions and ideas, I really hope other databases take some of their ideas. It also has its pain points (ex Oracle.. so some notions they have about databases like NULLs is a b

We're getting pretty good performance on AWS Graviton3 for our data processing, their m7g is pretty good. Looks like they're banking on ARM taking off, with lots of new options in 2023.

Perfect build servers for native AARCH64 compiling (though you can use distcc), really wish AWS had spot pricing for ARM..

I quite like Mullvad. I haven't needed to use them much (mostly when my ISP has wonky routing and I need something semi-urgent), but their service is pretty good, their website feels like it's designed for the more "techy use
