I think fail-over for a production critical service is an equally important responsibility of the router.

Ya, probably started with asking for a buzzy title.

Ooh, this is nice. I loved windirstat back in the day.

There are simple "ORM"s that just map classes to tables and columns to attributes. Basically focused on serialization instead of query generation. I find those to be a good balance…

The lack of real effort bothers me more than the content itself. We can't be bothered to even proofread children's books anymore?

I suspect most of the critique even back then was around teaching from static written text, not the writing itself. In my experience that aligns well with modern education theory.

Good opportunity to do some planning work.

When I read the comments on a HN post I generally want to get a sense for how the community is reacting to the content and whether I missed any interesting implications. However, a…

I bet there's an awful lot of servers out there that will happily take CORS requests from any host because someone didn't understand why their second domain couldn't talk to the sa…

Isn't this how MRIs and stuff already work, they just use waves with much more appropriate wavelengths...?

Conceptually this is wrapping an agent harness in an LLM call API. I wonder if this format is more digestible than the agent building tools the big labs are rolling out.

A CLI or authenticated web endpoint requires somewhat arbitrary terminal or code access. MCP wraps the functionality in a way that doesn't require nearly the same permissions. Does…

I think the post said early stage startups... So maybe both?

Interesting how much the post sounds like an AI prompt itself. Are we all going to start talking like that? Think hard, make a plan, and only reply after deep consideration.

There was a post from Github a few weeks ago showing commit volume exploded from linear to exponential growth about 6 months ago. I don't know for sure, but I think they weren't re…

I was taught to aim for "mind blanking" when meditating, so does seem like it!

We get our physical media movies from the library now.

Feels like this is missing some of the key points of using generic bucket storage for me: 1. Archive pricing for really large old documents. 2. Cross-provider backups; especially f…

How much did they end up costing? We do a similar PCB medallion every year for another event and haven't been able to get quite that fancy due to cost. We usually only manage to ge…

We've been doing this with simple mkdocs for ages. My experience is that rendering the markdown to feel like public docs is important for getting humans to review and take it serio…

If you're ever in Wisconsin - House on the Rock and the Mustard Museum.

I went through a similar transition. Used to spend hours in dark table each shoot, but for a hobby it got tedious. Eventually I got my in-camera configuration right enough and have…
