The take still holds, although it is a bit more nuanced than it seems at first. 12 Factor was written by the founders of Heroku, for context, and that's exactly how Heroku worked. The app code would be submitted into a system, and run

Did the Max plan ever promise unlimited anything? I’m on it, and I remember seeing and paying for 20x, not infinity. There is a case to be made that they sold a multiple and are changing x or rate limiting x differently, but the tone seems

This is a rebuild of the antithesis of Tailwind on Tailwind. Bootstrap had this for decades (Daisy even copies the same semantic class names in some cases). Tailwind was supposed to break away from this, to specific actual styles directly,

How does the version of Tailwind itself make difference? The look depends on what styles are applied using Tailwind, not the ability to specify styles. Think the problem is the most tailwind sites have a similar set of styles applied, most

If a human meeting had lot of silence (assuming it's between words and not before / after), I would consider it a very efficient meeting where there was just enough information exchanged with adequate absorption, processing and re

Please ask the agent to help write a workflow script (GitHub Actions yaml or makefile or similar) instead of using it as a runner - if you do that the release pipeline changes with each execution. You do not want a non deterministic release

Well yes. With the possibility of high upside also comes a chance of a downside.

It depends on your perspective. If you internalize God mode, where you spin your disk world while leaving the sun in place, it's very intuitive.

This is context based dichotomy, not a person-based one. In my personal life, I’m curiosity-oriented, so I put my blog, side projects and mom’s chocolate shop on fully self hosted VPSs. At my job managing a team of 25 and servicing thousand

Not entirely. If a load balancer is set to buffer say 4kb of data all the time, your SSE is stuck until you close the connection. I think there is a HTTP/2 flush instruction, but no load balancer is obligated to handle it and your SSE

Nothing this does that Caddy can’t do, but Thruster is more the omakase type thing. It’s set up to automatically handle one scenario very well - a single server rails app running defaults. If you have a single server rails app running defau

Why, wasn’t The Martian an example of hard sci-fi, a story that conforms strongly to the known laws of physics? Not necessarily probability, economics or politics, but hard sci-fi is written to be plausible.

We’re not considering the possibility that most civilizations will consider progress to be a move to a utopian state of living in harmony with nature, with buried machines. Not paving the planet and the sun with solar panels.

A lot of sci-fi already makes this premise. The bright future is not one of concrete and metal, it’s sunsets and trees and lakes tended to by invisible robots, with all the ugly machines, generators and data centres buried deep in rock.

I would assume so, the extreme case being just one key, which of course has only one partition. But see https://youtu.be/NXehLy7IiPM (2024 Reinvent S3 deep dive) - there’s still replication happening on single objects. So i

I asked the S3 team what “prefix” meant at reinvent, and my current understanding is “whatever starting length of key gives a reasonable cardinality for your objects”. So if your keys are 2024/12/03/22-45:24 etc, I would expe

Ok, S3 is not a file system replacement. Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and claiming there are “issues” with the peg is disingenuous. S3 has and always will be object storage, that’s how it’s architected, and unless there’s a

Weren’t there a couple of anecdotes where Windows couldn’t fix a bug because some popular game (maybe SimCity?) depended on it, so the devs hardcoded a SimCity check inside Windows and made the bug happen if it was running?

When talking about currencies being over or under valued, we're usually not referring to the value of 1 unit of each currency being equal, more the exchange rates themselves. See the Big Mac index for example, for a real life illustrat

This is usually because the software you pay for yourself has licensing terms that don’t allow commercial use or reimbursement. See the JetBrains personal license terms itself. Understandably, the company will find it easier and cheaper to

That helps a lot thanks. Will summarize it quickly for those who come later: MySQL (InnoDB really) and Postgres both use MVCC, so they write a new row on update. InnoDB however also additionally writes a record marking the old row for delet

Is this process materially different from a vacuum? Does it manage to optimise without a write lock?

Oh god this is such a nightmare. It takes much longer to build something that works not the first try, because then I have to force-simulate a mistake to make sure things were actually correct in the first place. Test Driven Development had

Since you seem to know some C++, could always call it the C++ URL Retrieval Library, or maybe something more pithy.

In a family group, at least one person in the hand-me-down chain is going to have a problem with their phone every year, so it makes sense for all the phones to scoot a step down regularly. And yeah, if the person first in line can claim th
