Couldn't you swap out for a now lower level AMD GPU? An RX 6600 should be under $200 and likely at least as good as what you were running... unless you were doing specific CUDA workloads. Even on PCIe 2/3, it should be fine.

That's roughly what I did for my ANSI console/viewer... I started with EGA resolution, and each ega pixel renders 3x4 in its' buffer then a minor blur, then scaled to fit the render area. The effect is really good down to ab

They're pretty good for most things, yes... but man was it rough figuring out getting my IP allocation routing right on my Proxmox server. The system is issued a primary IP, and need to route my subnet through that to my VMs... wasn&#

On UI frameworks... mostly agree, I say this as a COSMIC user even... so many apps still don't show up right in the tray, but it's getting a bit better, I always found KDE to be noisy, and don't like how overtly political the

That's not what I'm referring to... it was a beta test that included actual internet ads in the start menu search results... It was literally a product I was looking at on the previous day.

It was a test they ran on Insiders channel to see how people reacted to them. It never mated it into GA, or for that matter the entire insiders channels... They'll feature gate things to some insiders users and A/B test them to s

I came to rely pretty heavily on Docker and WSL(2) in Windows. I was an insiders user for a bit over a decade, and worked with .Net and C# since it was "ASP+" ... I had setup a dual boot when I swapped my old GTX 1080 for an RX 5

You forgot to mention the IT Security team locking up all the screwdrivers to prevent potential cross-contamination with hammer usage.

RDBMS are pretty well understood and very flexible, more still with the likes of JSONB where parts of your schema can be (de)normalized for convenience and reducing joins in practice. Modern hardware is MUCH more powerful today than even

Largely my take as well.. there's also a LOT of slop and not enough polish or completeness in terms of UX and usability.

We just need to consume 1.21gwatts of electricity, and then we can invest in nuclear power in the past.

Probably fair... would also be interesting to try to limit the use of say GPL code to maintaining interoperability, not duplication of internal methods, etc. I also think that the amount of MIT/ISC/BSD, etc. licensed code, with w

I think the solution to the latter is simply to maintain high standards in terms of structure and organization. I've always been a fan of KISS should override any other non-requirement of software. Any my non-requirement, I mean anyt

No, because proper QA/QC will be the bottleneck.... AI is ill-suited to test for fit/use. I built an ANSi terminal with AI assist (rust/wasm/canvas)... it literally took longer to get the scrollback feature working with

Maybe. Were the designs reviewed by qualified engineers and gone trough rigorous QA cycles before getting placed in front of me?

I started picturing AI generating tools like it does images of people... I mean, of course every other hammer will have an extra head off to the side, or split into 3 handles. Seriously though, you can tell AI what libraries and conventions

I've seen plenty of "standardized" (ie, "Enterprise" applications)... I'd just assume a bespoke hammer that's simple and easy to understand over a complex beast of HammerFactoryFactory to deliver you a bui

I reject the assertion that AI Vibe Coding has to have any affect on how OSS maintainers get paid (or not). Most of those that are paid, are paid because their job is related but the OSS library/project itself is not directly monetize

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, once you "upgrade" the connection to a websocket connection, it's pretty much a bog standard TLS socket... I'm not sure what you mean by a size explosion, compared to what? A

Yes, I do look through test suites. You can learn a lot from them. Without seeing it, you have no idea how good it is at all. I'm not knocking the SQLite guys... But it's just a factual statement. It's unknown to most.

Maybe. I don't think having parallel divergence is inherently bad. DuckDB doesn't replace SQLite... But depending on the need, I'm probably more inclined to reach for something like Turso today than Firebird of I want somet

Why would you need a different service instance to connect to a different database file? And yeah, it's effectively sharing data... My point is there are lots of use cases that can fit in this type of database usage.
923.
by tracker1 9mo ago
There's a few options... they could be using separate database instances per client to isolate workloads... if there are fewer than 10k or so users at each client, it's pretty doable without a lot of effort, you can further isolat

I think that async support for multi-read(and write) are part of the reason for the separate Turso library in Rust over the C fork (libSQL). I also wouldn't be surprised if baking in better support for replication was a design goal as

Have you seen the SQLite test suite? AFAIK, it's private/secret/closed. I think that is a part of the argument against SQLite.
926.
by tracker1 9mo ago
The way I see it there are a few goals for Turso as opposed to SQLite... One is to be more open to contribution, which is of arguable value for a pretty "complete" project. Another is to be able to better support a client-server a

Worth considering the compress/decompress overhead, which is also lower in brotli than zstd from my understanding. Also, worth testing zopfli since it's decompression is gzip compatible.

I think what Docker should have done, is charge for Docker Desktop from the start... even $5/mo/user as a discount rate for non-open-source usage... similar for container storage, had a commercial offering for private containers f

Serious question, why not just use websockets? AFAIK, it's effectively a TLS socket with a little bit of handshake overhead when starting. I'm literally working on a web interface I want to use for classic BBS door play... curren
