Anyone know the usage of this? I looked at it but wanted postgresqls XML data type which may not have been supported when I looked. RDS stuff is just nice as a strong reliable data…

I've had bad experiances trying this: - Return experience is TERRIBLE. I'm not kidding, with Amazon you've got one click to a QR code and a UPS store dropoff. Some of these mfgs yo…

The security posture at AWS is different. AI startups are going to get hacked and leak data etc. All the startup webapp builder tools, vscode plugin players etc. AWS could still be…

You really don't understand what AWS offers if you think this is what is getting them workloads (including competitors and highly sensitive govt workloads).

Running postgresql is an order of magnitude more complicated than sqlite. 130k tps even with unlogged is not always super easy especially if getting hit concurrently. Postgresql co…

Does anyone know how important hot staging is? It seems to give the booster a real kick - what's that do to turbo's and fuel movement? You've got hot exhaust onto cold cryo fuel ta…

Does anyone know what is up with RDP support on linux? I'm trying to migrate to linux but I need to be able to RDP to a headless machine running my desktop from Windows machines. H…

Interesting. I didn't realize the email field wasn't persisted. I assumed it could be used in some type of account recovery scenario.

If they are going to be the most broadly adopted AI platform where does that leave nvidia? What is the AI PC platform? The experience on windows with windows 11 for just the basic …

Python 3 was actively antagonistic to Python 2 code for no reason other than to lecture us about how we were doing things wrong, writing code to support 2 and 3 to help transition …

No kidding - kind of wild that winforms is still kind of a gold standard experience today! I actually liked VB Forms - lots of easy rapid application development was possible.

Does their market share back up your take of them as horrible apps? Are there QT or GTK competitors crushing them? I always hear how terrible electron apps are, but the companies p…

I remember the saying "It's always DNS". I'm old. Kind of mindboggling it's still sometimes DNS maybe.

Wasn't the saying "It's always DNS" floating around somewhere? Be interesting to understand cause here. Pretty big impact on services we use

I think it's a pretty common impression. Tradespeople sometimes request cash payment or provide a good discount for cash payments (well above any fee they would be charged). I gues…

The billions spent on rural broadband excluded Starlink as not technically feasible. Many other billions have the same issues - I think no one knows how to actually hoover this the…

Be interesting to add some of the Biden pardons - the kids for cash pardons and a bunch of others were wild. The "Kids for Cash" scandal involved two Pennsylvania judges, Mark Ciav…

Early dsql had some weird limits I think - anyone actually using in production with feedback on current corners and limits?

The jetbrains ai assistant was truly terrible when it came out. They blocked the use of the major LLM’s and had supposedly a better European (?) LLM for coding, but I could not get…

I really wish we could find some "HD" voice codec / mode - all the SIP protocols have gone pretty HD / zoom etc are HD at this point, a lot of cell has gone HD. Are the bands reall…

Redhat has really delivered for IBM and IBM seems not to have messed it up too bad. Some of this is obvious (linux and mainframes aren't a bad combo). Some of it I'm a bit surprise…

The real test would be if you gave end users in the most remote areas the money directly and let them make their own decisions on how they got internet would they wait 5 years and …

"Winning bidders have committed to deploy broadband to more than 5.2 million homes and small businesses in census blocks that previously lacked broadband service with minimum speed…

Why not just avoid signing up for starlink service? I think you have to ask and be invited into the test.

It's interesting to see all the criticism of things like this on a place like hacker news. Starlink has repeatedly been pooh-poohed. It's impossible, it'll never work, no one will …
