I would be much more interested if they fully open sourced an S3-compatible git backend that anybody could use with any S3-compatible service. Does such a thing exist? Hmmm...

I don't know enough about rust to confirm or deny that -- but unless rust somehow puts a limit on in-flight async operations, I don't see how it would help. The problem is not reso…

You can have this problem with any kind of thread -- including OS threads -- if you do an unbounded spawn loop. Go is hardly unique in this. Goroutines are actually better AFAIK be…

Can't really speak to the point of the guy you're replying to, but the FreeIPA implementation via SSSD does more than just Kerberos tickets. Actually, I think the Kerberos based st…

I think the hate is more about the fact that nobody gave enough of a damn to catch the error before it went public...

No need to worry, that's what the B Ark is for.

Yes. The "official release" is just so old as to be useless at this point. They should either update it or take it down and point people at github or something, IMO. I use the late…

I'll be surprised if the noises coming out of LM are anything other than PR, but it's not impossible. That said, I agree, it would probably be far too expensive if it did happen. I…

You're welcome to believe that. Visible progress to date suggests otherwise to me; I pretty much ignore what Elon says as much as possible. Besides, however ridiculous, 15 full sta…

On launches, it's conceivable that they can do the launches in 20 days if they do one a day. I ignore reusability, because I don't see it as required to meet the need. They're know…

Complexity vs. Tedium. There's a difference. The SpaceX approach requires a lot of launches, but they're already proven experts at that. They've launched something like 130 rockets…

> Blue Moon HLS is considerably less complex than Starship HLS That's the one thing in your comment I disagree with. Starship-based HLS has basically one base vehicle, modified int…

For how many users, and at what transaction rate? Not disagreeing that you can do a lot on a lot less than in the old days, but your story would be much more impactful with that in…

Been a while since I've looked at available APIs, but can't the browser handle conversions into its own local system TZ? If it's going by IP geolocation, I would call that a bug.

The choice of name comes off as shady to me; seems like a marketing hack to make it sound like it's some kind of internationally-accepted standard, like oh, X.500. Oh, and if you w…

Thanks for this. I had no idea this was even a thing, and it explains some discrepancies I've seen with my one subscription. They really don't make it obvious where to change it, e…

Or, more simply: "lipstick on a pig".

The Honeywell Z-Wave thermostats are trivial to connect and work with via Home Assistant. Source: I own one. :)

Does an embeddable XML database engine exist at a similar level of reliability?

An interesting skim, but it would have been more meaningful if it had tackled text documents or spreadsheets to show what additional functionality would be enabled with those beyon…

Absolutely! I think there are still a few unique tiles on Starship around joints and such IIRC, but either way, the number of tile types is much smaller for Starship. To my thinkin…

Remains to be seen. That's what they want, but it's never been done before. (edit: clarity: they do NOT want to replace them after each flight.) They're currently experimenting wit…

I use GitLab locally and push only to that. GitLab itself is configured to mirror outbound to the public side of things. In a collaborative scenario, doing it that way makes sure e…

While that is certainly true, the idea that they can so rapidly decimate your data without the possibility to restore is still terrifying if that's your only copy of that data. The…

My fear of this sort of thing happening is why I don't use github or gitlab.com for primary hosting of my source code; only mirrors. I do primary source control in house, and keep …
