It's an infuriatingly accurate sketch. A team should usually have responsibility for no more than one service. There are many situations where this is not possible or desired (don't force your kafka connect service into your busin

Maximalism? Go to a japanese or chinese website. Those are maximalist. Western web design is all mobile-first minimalism.

That's all fake. LinkedIn is for sales and recruiting. If you see something there - a post, anything - it's meant to sell something. It's all as fake as the contents of an ad break.

If you give your data to a Chinese company you make your data available to the Chinese intelligence services. Same with most other countries with geopolitical ambitions. I don't see how this is controversial. This is why you only buy I

Yes, I think Myth Busters did an episode on this. It saves surprisingly little time.

You mean the epitome, the nerve center, the capital and apex of 21st century entrepreneurial capitalism? That left-wing bastion? Ridiculous.

Desktop operating systems really dropped the ball on protecting us from the software we run. Even mobile OSs are so-so. So the browser is the only protection we reasonably have. I think this is sad.

As someone who has a hard time putting down tiktok, I have to say: Yes, the platform and algorithm is addictive and predatory, but some of the content is really good. Lots of very funny sketches, in particular. I don't like dances and

Are you sure this is how he'll be remembered? Half the US thought him preferable to AOC and Hillary Clinton. It's hard to conclude in any other way than that the perception of his legacy will be equally divided.

Lol. Mastodon is terrible, be the tech as it may. At least there's content I care about on Matrix, although Discord is still king.

Ypu could probably run it in wasm. Of course, without access to the DOM it won't go any further than anything else on wasm. The whole thing is nuts if you ask me. So much lost potential.

It's a reasonably cheap and unlocked handheld with fecent battery life. Personally I'd want more pixels, but if it works it works. It seems to be the default choice for remote control these days.

Yeah, photography (editing aside) is about having taste and getting lucky. A good photographer can of course raise their odds of getting lucky, but still. There's some technique in there too, but that's really not all that complic

So they should put it on the box. In small font on the back if necessary, but make it an official part of the spec sheet - don't pretend it's irrelevant.

Oh wow, they really wrote that. I love Rust but this is clown shit.

by tormeh 10mo ago
I think the pricing of the big three is absurd, so I'm on your side in principle. However, it's the steady state that worries me. When the box has been running for 4 years and nobody who works there has any (recent) experience ope

Hetzner has k8s? I only see VMs and block storage.

by tormeh 10mo ago
It's far cheaper to do it yourself, but the entire point is that you outsource the management of the service. Lots of people don't want to deal with database failovers, or - god forbid - deal with Kubernetes control plane issues.

by tormeh 10mo ago
Absolutely not. There's a gazillion cloud providers out there with hosted postgres+kafka+redis and the other big open source softwares. Hetzner is just not one of them.
170.
by tormeh 10mo ago
I hesitate to call Hetzner "cloud". Hetzner is an EC2+S3 competitor, not an AWS one. IMO the minimum for being a real cloud is you need hosted Postgres, hosted Kafka, hosted Kubernetes, and S3-compatible object storage. Without th

Indeed. And SAP has no cooperation with any European cloud providers, afaik. It's the big three plus alibaba. SAP wants to move away from on-prem, but I guess it has a solution for critical applications. Maybe that can be shoehorned on

Eh, these are highly skilled individuals that just don't like learning a new thing, no matter how useful. That attitude is a problem to be managed, but these people deserve a certain amount of respect. Anyone saying "suck it"

The entire point of code names is that you can delay coming up with a marketing name. If the end user sees the code name then what is even the point? Using the code name in external communication is really really dumb. They need to decide i

Seems like the original puzzles were licensed for this game, in which case why not?

Axum is the most popular web library out there, and sqlx the most popular sql library. Together they look something like this: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/blob/main/examples%2Fsqlx-p...

Often each API route will have its own handler function. That function will - usually through many layers of indirection and abstraction - launch queries towards your database.

Exactly. Divide the code in impure and pure functions. The pure functions can be easily unit tested. The impure ones can often be integration tested. The rest you'll just have to live with (or cover with whole-process integration tests

I don't know much about C#, but in Rust this is very much not the norm. In fact, there are technical limitations associated with async traits. This sometimes allowed us a reprieve from the madness, but only sometimes. I guess you can w

The hateable part is the license. I love Rust but this is a huge step backwards.
