Did the Max plan ever promise unlimited anything? I’m on it, and I remember seeing and paying for 20x, not infinity. There is a case to be made that they sold a multiple and are ch…

This is a rebuild of the antithesis of Tailwind on Tailwind. Bootstrap had this for decades (Daisy even copies the same semantic class names in some cases). Tailwind was supposed t…

How does the version of Tailwind itself make difference? The look depends on what styles are applied using Tailwind, not the ability to specify styles. Think the problem is the mos…

If a human meeting had lot of silence (assuming it's between words and not before / after), I would consider it a very efficient meeting where there was just enough information exc…

Please ask the agent to help write a workflow script (GitHub Actions yaml or makefile or similar) instead of using it as a runner - if you do that the release pipeline changes with…

Well yes. With the possibility of high upside also comes a chance of a downside.

It depends on your perspective. If you internalize God mode, where you spin your disk world while leaving the sun in place, it's very intuitive.

This is context based dichotomy, not a person-based one. In my personal life, I’m curiosity-oriented, so I put my blog, side projects and mom’s chocolate shop on fully self hosted …

Old Hindu philosphies have a similar split. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%80%C5%9Brama_(stage) 0-25y grow and study 25-50y develop your household, your family, your community…

Not entirely. If a load balancer is set to buffer say 4kb of data all the time, your SSE is stuck until you close the connection. I think there is a HTTP/2 flush instruction, but n…

Nothing this does that Caddy can’t do, but Thruster is more the omakase type thing. It’s set up to automatically handle one scenario very well - a single server rails app running d…

Why, wasn’t The Martian an example of hard sci-fi, a story that conforms strongly to the known laws of physics? Not necessarily probability, economics or politics, but hard sci-fi …

We’re not considering the possibility that most civilizations will consider progress to be a move to a utopian state of living in harmony with nature, with buried machines. Not pav…

A lot of sci-fi already makes this premise. The bright future is not one of concrete and metal, it’s sunsets and trees and lakes tended to by invisible robots, with all the ugly ma…

I would assume so, the extreme case being just one key, which of course has only one partition. But see https://youtu.be/NXehLy7IiPM (2024 Reinvent S3 deep dive) - there’s still re…

I asked the S3 team what “prefix” meant at reinvent, and my current understanding is “whatever starting length of key gives a reasonable cardinality for your objects”. So if your k…

Ok, S3 is not a file system replacement. Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and claiming there are “issues” with the peg is disingenuous. S3 has and always will be object…

Weren’t there a couple of anecdotes where Windows couldn’t fix a bug because some popular game (maybe SimCity?) depended on it, so the devs hardcoded a SimCity check inside Windows…

“The killing power is the electromagnetic gun, the gun is held by the gun, the gun is held by the gun, and the 29-year-old blunderbuss is used to tolerate the suspect. The Suspicio…

When talking about currencies being over or under valued, we're usually not referring to the value of 1 unit of each currency being equal, more the exchange rates themselves. See t…

This is usually because the software you pay for yourself has licensing terms that don’t allow commercial use or reimbursement. See the JetBrains personal license terms itself. Und…

That helps a lot thanks. Will summarize it quickly for those who come later: MySQL (InnoDB really) and Postgres both use MVCC, so they write a new row on update. InnoDB however als…

Is this process materially different from a vacuum? Does it manage to optimise without a write lock?

Oh god this is such a nightmare. It takes much longer to build something that works not the first try, because then I have to force-simulate a mistake to make sure things were actu…

Since you seem to know some C++, could always call it the C++ URL Retrieval Library, or maybe something more pithy.
