    How does it compare to AutoMQ? ( https://github.com/AutoMQ/automq )

    That’s true, but this repo has thousands of bugs. They could at least find one that was in the training set, but also did not contain the location in the bug description. This way …

    I wanted to find the actual change performed by these agents so I watched the embedded video. I can not believe what I saw. The video shows a private fork of a pubic repository. Th…

    Most people don’t operate this way. Choice is painful and induces anxiety. There’s a high chance of getting buyers remorse even if you chose the „objectively best” model. A good sa…

    The author seems to ignore the fact that CSV got so popular because it is human readable. If anyone wanted a binary format there’s plenty of them - most better than this DSV. Also,…

    You wanted to make a point that time does not depend on physical location, while you chose an example that proves otherwise. There is no absolute time in spacetime, so your calenda…

    The article is based only on the stats of a single freelancing site. It may be big, but it still represents only a sample of the overall market data. We do not know how big the sam…

    They are conceptually different. Kafka optimizes throughput of data. I wouldn't use Kafka for a job queue, and wouldn't use RabbitMQ for streaming data when ordering would be impor…

    I like the walled garden of Apple as well, especially as a “family IT guy” who had no need to reset/reconfigure the systems or remove malware from any phones since talking the fami…

    I read this as a statement of fact. The Digital Market Act has come into force. The act gives the platforms (Apple included) few months of preparations to comply. Breton just remin…

    Cartography can also model any consistent universe, and I fail to see how that changes anything for the “it’s just a model” argument. We can permutate and enumerate symbols for mou…

    Yes, that is an intrinsic property of all models. They are imperfect, and we accept it as long as the models are useful for some purposes. My map has a text written on it saying “P…

    Why do you think we should go deeper with pointless questions? What would you do with the answer if someone provided one?

    Comment #37658141

    For me, both questions "is math real" and "is math discovered or invented" miss the point. Math is a model of the universe in the same sense that a world map is a model of the eart…

    Thank you, I found the answer to my question posted above in this podcast and the article linked there [1] So, the argument is simply that Open Source is a branding that attracts d…

    Good to see another start kit. I was recently looking for one. I was ready to trade the need of training myself in some technologies (Svelte in your case) for a good set of "batter…

    I didn't assume it must be free of charge. I only mentioned it isn't, to point that this is not a possible reason they chose AGPL. I did, however, assume the Open Source OSI approv…

    Thank you, and other people, for mentioning Vaultwarden. I’ll check that out. This is, however, a separate software package, coming from different people, so not related to my ques…

    The title is misleading. This is not fully "free and open-source". I'm actually puzzled by the licensing structure. Bitwarden server is dual-licensed [1] - part of it is licensed w…

    I’d be so funny (at least for an outsider) to see an office where there’s a lot of corpo speak mixed with this. - we need to raise the bar for 34.18. where are the deliverables for…

    I'm now waiting for a discovery, that hieroglyphs not only told some stories, but represented ancient algorithms in a programming language similar to this one.

    This is the worst of both worlds. Not only are you back to square one, as you spent the time to build an API (client libraries), but now, if the API is limiting, the users will fin…
