pgrust sounds very interesting, but with the deep changes there’s no viable path to upstream it - is the end goal to be robust enough that it’ll get wide adoption?

Weirdly Apple seems to have something like this built-in for finding an apple TV remote - but the same flow doesn't appear to be launchable for any other device

Upthread the implication seems to be that smolmachines would be in some way a replacement for orbstack to run docker containers But it seems more like a completely different way to run isolated workloads?

on the rare occasions where I need to loudly indicate my presence to a motor vehicle I wouldn't really want to be moving my hands - if I have time to move a hand to a horn I probably have time to brake/manouvre instead. Generally

A bitmap index scan allows the database to narrow down which pages could include the data, but then still has to recheck the condition on the contents of those pages - so will still not be as performant as an proper index scan

This pitch seems ok to people using simple log aggregation tools or metric tools that have to be wary of tag cardinality But how does it compare to an actual modern observability stack built on a columnar datastore like Honeycomb?

Any advice on how to learn modern Swift? When I tried to do learn some to put together a little app, every search result for my questions was for a quick blog seemingly aimed at iOS devs who didn’t want to learn and just wanted to copy-past

A failure mode of ULIDs and similar is that they're too random to be easily compared or recognized by eye. This is especially useful when you're using them for customer or user IDs - being able to easily spot your important or tro

I invite you to look into feature flagging. It is entirely viable to never have more than 1 or 2 open pull requests on any particular code repository, and to use continuous delivery practices to keep deploying small changes to production 1

I’m amazed that this comment is so low down Stacked diffs seems like a solution to managing high WIP - but the best solution to high WIP is always to lower WIP Absolutely everything gets easier when you lower your work in progress.

Does pglite in memory outperform “normal” postgres? If so then supporting the network protocol so it could be run in CI for non-JS languages could be really cool

There's a couple of passing mentions of Download Monitor, but also the timeline strongly implies that a specific source was simply guessing the URL of the PDF long before it was uploaded I'm not clear from the doc which of these s

Other than motherduck, is anyone aware of any good models for running multi-user cloud-based duckdb? ie. Running it like a normal database, and getting to take advantage of all of its goodies

This reminded me of a slide from a Dan North talk - perhaps this one https://dannorth.net/talks/#software-faster ? One of those anyway. The key quote was something like "You want your software to be like surgery -

This doesn't seem accurate to me - Gambling sites legally operating in the UK already have strict KYC requirements applied to them via the Gamling regulator. Visiting a gambling site isn't restricted, but signing up and gambling i

It’s worth noting that if you DisallowUnknownFields it makes it much harder to handle forward/backward compatible API changes - which is a very common and usually desirable pattern

I think in some cases (like WhatsApp) the better model exists and is available, but isn’t used by the app - possibly as a judge to get you to give it more permissions On iOS Strava’s app is able to access a photo picker, and the app only ge

It would be cool if someone could come up with a way for the runtime system to automatically wrap errors with the calling context. That way you’d be able to trace the stack of functions that were involved in passing an error back up to the

I chatted to a staff member on the checkout of my local coop supermarket She said that every shelf item is ordered on a JIT basis as the store stock levels require them - there are no standing orders to a store Based on that, I presume they

No, it's "hard", because it requires an extension to monitor all requests to a different search enging and hijack those to perform a redirect. This is a clever workaround by Kagi, but a glaring hole in the Safari extension AP

Complaining about the for loop behaviour seems odd. Variables declared in the expression section of the loop are scoped to the loop body - this is generally reasonable and the least likely to produce errors. Notably, Go initially decided to

That’s how you’d expect it to work, but that’s not how pod deletion works. The pod delete event is sent out, and the load balancer and the pod itself both receive and react to it at the same time. So unless the LB switchover is very quick,
