Did you happen to look into CephFS? CERN (folks that operate Large Hadron Collider) use it to store ~30PB of scientific data. Their analysis cluster is serving ~30GB/s reads

As far as I know, there isn’t an official API for cross-platform communication. However, the Messages framework allows developers to create sticker packs and interactive messages f…

Signal keeps cranking out brilliant crypto papers, but from a product perspective, it feels like they're throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. We've got post-quantum hands…

CI users should cache the asset to both speed up CI runs and not run up the costs to orgs providing the assets free of charge

Are you referring to the json macro that allows variable interpolation? Doing that will void type safety. Might be useful in dynamic languages like Python but I wouldn’t want to tr…

Independently scale and deploy fridges at edge. Fridge@Edge ™

I was aware of Supabase, but still was confused as to what this project actually does. The mention of "1 file" and "app server" wasn’t helpful either. Does that mean a single binar…

The GitHub security alert digest[1] is a real thing. It's a feature of GitHub where they report security vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies. For example, if you use pyt…

I find it confusing that author proposes llms.txt, but the content is actually markdown? I get that they tried to follow the convention, but then why not make it a simple text file…

Creative solution to a problem they had - no job and apparently only a backpack to their name, but the story quickly fell appart when I realised that they bought delivery robots, l…

I agree, I was just making a point that different teams have different priorities and thus different scope. Saying "PodA can only talk to PodB over mTLS" is very different to "User…

> Infrastructure teams can usually implement a feature faster than every app team in a company, so this tends to get solved by them. Well, that's comparing apples to oranges. Produ…

I'm consistently impressed by French solidarity to just go on a strike until they get their government (or a company in this case) to start treating them fairly. I wish that could …

I jumped to conclusions in my previous comment, but that was based on a personal experience. Realistically, I've only ever needed 2 commands: `pip freeze > requirements.txt` and `p…

Granted they are still working on it, but in the meantime - add a shell alias for uv? alias pip="/usr/bin/uv pip"

Great article with lots of interesting ideas. Can't believe I didn't know about signal.NotifyContext. Finally I'll be able to actually rememeber how to respond to signals instead o…

Go, postgres, redis, vue, tailwind css. Been wanting to experiment with htmx, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I’m sceptical that migrating to GraphQL is actually an improvement. Instead of one team maintaining a cohesive API, you now have unlimited teams making shit up as they go? The arti…

Apologies if this comes off as blunt, but this is the type of content I come to read at hacker news rather than it being just a series of obituaries. The author has made a lot of g…

I’m consistently surprised just how good the RX580 really is. It can handle most games on medium at 1440p, but I tend to just chill on ultra at 1080p. Plus I play on TV, so the sma…

I'm quite the opposite. This style of writing is quite refreshing. It's playful, has enough technical details and is easy to read.

> a Developer Preview package for systems with an Apple silicon CPU Ooo, can’t wait to try this out!

This is why you should never use url shorteners for publicly addressable content. Using url shorteners contributes to ‘link rot’ and after the domain expires or the service reaches…

This is one of the best resources for starting with Go! It’s very practical and teaches a lot of important concepts in an easy to understand way. Cannot recommend this enough! If y…
