What are the benefits of using podman over docker desktop? I've just got my new M1 macbook and are tempting to try docker desktop alternatives..

Hosted k8s is a blessing for development teams. A great benefit is that integrating k8s into tools such as Github or Gitlab pipelines makes it a unified and easy deployment cycle. …

Compliance and web3 arrived. A lot of companies didn't even need to go the hadoop route. CSVs, jupyter notebooks and SQL databases are very powerful tools for most companies.

Anyone has information about the details of Smart Block 3.0? The "learn more" URL returns a 404.

It's really sad to see the current state of bitcoin. We can't really justify the current energy consumption while mainly being used as a financial instrument to speculate on. Nano …

Yeah, that's what bitcoin should have been. Too bad it also consumes an insane amount of energy and isn't able to process a lot of transactions per second. Hope that a good cryptoc…

Insane. Good to know what made my Spotify app crash upon startup though.

Kinda in the phase of buying disks for a $500-ish~ raid 5 NAS setup. The whole recent SMR debacle keeps me a bit careful on buying those disks before extensively checking out all t…

Bought a 3d printer(Creality Ender 3, sub 200USD). Being able to print nice prints takes a lot of time and you'll learn a lot during the process. After being able to print I tried …

Based on Chinese data. I very much doubt the accuracy of Chinese data.

Hetzner is solid from a perf / price perspective. Mind that the network peering outside Europe is not that great. So could be a very good choice depending on your user base' locati…

Thanks a lot! We use scrapy[1]. Our crawler's behavior is very polite so most of them won't block us. Easyjet for example is very strict against crawlers and will block most of the…

The only thing is that we have the crawl US airlines and support an additional currency(USD). So yes, there is no reason why this shouldn't work for North and South America. Do you…

We crawl the fare information ourself from the airlines'websites.

We (me and a friend) did something similar for multi city round trips within Europe ( https://tripchemy.com ). We created some data structures that allow almost instant searching o…

We built our own tool at Datastreams ( https://datastreams.io ) to collect data. We currently collect several thousands of events per second, mainly web data. Events are mainly str…

Very well-thought infra and nice metrics. What kind of application are you running if I may ask?

Thanks! Seems very useful and clean enough to inform stake holders and the entire team.

I'm a faster too and have more energy as well. No more energy drain after a big meal. Another advantage of fasting is that you spend less time on food. Our western society involves…

Yeah, I'm interested in those performance penalties as well.

Depends on the project but I think React(and other JS frontends) are heavily overused. Nothing wrong with good old HTML sites. Think twice for falling into the SPA trap. Not saying…
