Did you happen to look into CephFS? CERN (folks that operate Large Hadron Collider) use it to store ~30PB of scientific data. Their analysis cluster is serving ~30GB/s reads

As far as I know, there isn’t an official API for cross-platform communication. However, the Messages framework allows developers to create sticker packs and interactive messages for iMessage. People in the group can interact with messages

Signal keeps cranking out brilliant crypto papers, but from a product perspective, it feels like they're throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. We've got post-quantum handshakes, stories and money transfer experiments, but

Are you referring to the json macro that allows variable interpolation? Doing that will void type safety. Might be useful in dynamic languages like Python but I wouldn’t want to trade type safety for some syntactic sugar in Go

I was aware of Supabase, but still was confused as to what this project actually does. The mention of "1 file" and "app server" wasn’t helpful either. Does that mean a single binary? One SQLite file? Does it execute othe

The GitHub security alert digest[1] is a real thing. It's a feature of GitHub where they report security vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies. For example, if you use python and you have specified requests library in you

I find it confusing that author proposes llms.txt, but the content is actually markdown? I get that they tried to follow the convention, but then why not make it a simple text file like the robots.txt is?

Creative solution to a problem they had - no job and apparently only a backpack to their name, but the story quickly fell appart when I realised that they bought delivery robots, laser engravers, clothing, seals, double digit ipads, etc. Cl

I agree, I was just making a point that different teams have different priorities and thus different scope. Saying "PodA can only talk to PodB over mTLS" is very different to "Users need to login using oauth". Who is goi

> Infrastructure teams can usually implement a feature faster than every app team in a company, so this tends to get solved by them. Well, that's comparing apples to oranges. Product teams have completely different goals, e.g. adopt

I'm consistently impressed by French solidarity to just go on a strike until they get their government (or a company in this case) to start treating them fairly. I wish that could work in the UK, but alas, we don't do that here.

I jumped to conclusions in my previous comment, but that was based on a personal experience. Realistically, I've only ever needed 2 commands: `pip freeze > requirements.txt` and `pip install -r requirements.txt`. They don't nee

Great article with lots of interesting ideas. Can't believe I didn't know about signal.NotifyContext. Finally I'll be able to actually rememeber how to respond to signals instead of copy-pasting that between projects.

I’m sceptical that migrating to GraphQL is actually an improvement. Instead of one team maintaining a cohesive API, you now have unlimited teams making shit up as they go? The article also desperately needs more context. I don’t doubt a lot

Apologies if this comes off as blunt, but this is the type of content I come to read at hacker news rather than it being just a series of obituaries. The author has made a lot of great points, but one that stuck with me was: > I consciou

I’m consistently surprised just how good the RX580 really is. It can handle most games on medium at 1440p, but I tend to just chill on ultra at 1080p. Plus I play on TV, so the smaller resolution is actually better from where I’m sitting

I'm quite the opposite. This style of writing is quite refreshing. It's playful, has enough technical details and is easy to read.

This is why you should never use url shorteners for publicly addressable content. Using url shorteners contributes to ‘link rot’ and after the domain expires or the service reaches its end of life the link is broken and cannot be resolved a

This is one of the best resources for starting with Go! It’s very practical and teaches a lot of important concepts in an easy to understand way. Cannot recommend this enough! If you read the book and learned something new consider sponsori

Thanks, this is a great insight. I haven’t thought about it in this way and it sounds like a very pragmatic approach without over complicating things.

Can you give a ballpark figure? I can’t even begin to imagine how much that costs.

To play the devil’s advocate - I reckon it’s all to do with support. If something breaks they can just pick up the phone and tell them to sort it out. What will they do when a random open source program breaks? Open a github issue? I’m also
