These asks are so at ends with one another. FoundationDB is not easy to set up. And it ships with near nothing out of the box; you have to build layers atop it's foundation to do n…

Operational experience would be my first guess. A lot of folks already know how to backup, replicatie, & stream postgres quite well.

As nation's try ever so hard to dynamite the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace & exert control wherever their citizens travel online, the difficulty in figuring out regulat…

I'm sympathetic & way more agree than disagree. But DNS doesn't fill me with joy. It's quite centralized, quite a huge organizational vulnerability. If we had some alternate addres…

The main reason why is that Meta is a colossal vast data gathering beast, that for example flagrantly fucks around bypassing the GDPR. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36583651…

Far less offensive but the DC metro got screen ads & it just so cheapens the experience. Used to be a kind of impressive semi-brutalist feeling, which isn't super fancy or anything…

It's been pretty amazing how stagnant the monitor space is. I too am really craving an 8k@120 monitor, although there's a decent chance I'll balk at the price.

To me it comes down to which Apple can more reliably deliver, that will see regular use. I have a hard time knowing what unique VR experience would keep people coming back day afte…

Intel is such a hero of this world. They make so many amazing things happen. And they do the job well. There's obvious/huge ecosystem examples: there was a whole industry around ul…

Excited to see another very cross platform terminal! I've been using Alacrity but copying to clipboard has been a nightmare time and time again, in all kinds of circumstance, and I…

Apple has been smart to present it as a desktop replacement (as opposed to some ar/vr/metaverse device), which is something they can deliver that will let users bring their existin…

A major thread through the talk is that there are powers that be that think they have the answers & want to shape & mold us. Not super clearly stated, but implicitly said, it rarel…

I'm exhausted by single-process programming languages. I think it's totally not worth our time to care at all about this problem any more. We need to figure out how to build system…

The brother doest protest too much. To me, it is exceedingly clear almost every other industry of this planet has far far better developed industrial practices and standards. They …

What a fragging amazing treasure. Rushkoff has just gotten better and better over time, more and more on point. Humble fun opening: > I thought i was supposed to go out there to do…

I'd also (re-)add: film is just one part of a transmission process. Film has to be developed into something. And that's a chemical process, which is non-linear. Developer, the bath…

People are amazing. I love this. Adore it. A thread of various awesome enterprising hackers, searching for truth, and using observability & tools to uncover meaning. Then bend real…

My skepticism at such overaching efforts is usually quite high. Apologies for discriminating on name/using popularity contest metrics, but seeing @grvydev's name on the repo is... …

This take is absolute classic Telegraph shit. My own tendencies lay way more in sympathy to the people, support protests, believe it's part of the great arch of society. I don't wa…

I don't know the term but you can also basically varyingly-indirectly pay to get in to most Ivys & other schools. I wonder what those admissions numbers look like. I don't have a t…

I can't wait to see a similar review of Bergamo/Zen 4c. Die shot analysis shows the cores themselves, not counting the L3 cache, are also 35% smaller than regular cores. But most o…

> Some people really want to have a production line of developers hammering away boxes of value then can capitalize on, Infoquake / Jump 225 series had an amazing fun-in-a-dystopia…

Why stop there? There was a great project that I keep forgetting the name of / link to... It simulated the chemical process of developing film. I keep wanting to dig it up & play w…

No one put it there. We the people were inactive & didn't figure out how to weave together our individual & community sites to create a compelling multi-party space. Or we could tr…
