Apaec··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
That is a completely different thing than LLM generated code.
Apaec··on Comparison Traits – Understanding Equality and Ordering in Rust
Is this a political blog post? I see Rust and Equality in the title..
Apaec··on Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark
That would explain the recent move to rewrite things in Rust on Ubuntu, they need the marketing to grow their user base.
Apaec··on Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security
PostgREST has been doing this for a long time https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v13/references/auth.html#jwt-b...
Apaec··on “Microsoft Edge will collect and use data from your web searches”
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Apaec··on Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory
Well, THEY have also changed the definition of "vaccine" and "pandemic" a long time ago. Go look it up.
Apaec··on Pg_GraphQL: A GraphQL Extension for PostgreSQL
How does it compare with https://github.com/solidsnack/GraphpostgresQL? It's like 7 years older and it takes the same approach, it seems.
Apaec··on Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory
That's the most rational plan. However pharma companies can just buy media presence, create panic and criticize their authorities(this happens to Bolsonaro in Brazil for example). Then riots begin, generating a whole other set of problems for the authorities who have no other choice but to save their neck and concede pharma companies demands.
Apaec··on Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory
Control the media to stop the panic, that only worsens things with a nocebo effect. Gradually remove restrictions since numbers are going down anyways.
Apaec··on Searchable flight logs from Jeffrey Epstein’s plane
Wait, you're supposed to stop any discussion whenever someone mentions the words "conspiracy theory".
Apaec··on NixOS and the Art of OS Configuration (2018)
> That's because someone already did the porting and testing for you

The same happens on all package managers...

Apaec··on Nix-GUI: Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through settings / GUI
> #NixOS or #GUIX

Two years user of NixOS here, moved after using Arch for about 3 years. Overall I'm really happy with it.

I also evaluated Guix when migrating from Arch. My raw and honest opinion about it is that it's just an attempt at open source fragmentation with zero innovation(I'm not impressed by Scheme or Lisps) that uses GNU marketing/branding/philosophy to gain adoption. I decided not to waste any time with it.

Apaec··on Nix-GUI: Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through settings / GUI
> This way you can keep the system profile lean for fast updates of the kernel and such, and then update firefox and other things separately

That makes a lot of sense. Right now a nixos-rebuild is really slow for me as I have a big configuration.nix file. I guess Home Manager could help in this case, will dig into it.

Apaec··on Nix-GUI: Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through settings / GUI
Home Manager always seems like a unnecessary layer though. Why is it needed if you already control everything with NixOS?
Apaec··on An early look at Postgres 14: Performance and monitoring Improvements
Note that the "official" PostgreSQL docker image is maintained by Docker Inc - not by PostgreSQL contributors/members.
Apaec··on The Syslog Hell
Also, you can send the logs to a centralized server with systemd-journal-remote[1].

Apaec··on LiveLeak shuts down after 15 years online
There's a site called theync.com(I suggest not going there), which was always more gruesome than LiveLeak.

I never understood how they operate. Always thought search engines should ban the site or something.

Apaec··on Deutsche Bank Whistleblower Vanishes
Exciting? If anything this is depressing. How people throw around the word "conspiracy" in an attempt to sound smart and disregard(or even dissuade to consider) the most plausible explanation.

Bias? Whistleblower of a mafia goes missing and your first thought is that he commited suicide? Please, you lack intellectual honesty.

Apaec··on Ask HN: What web application server back end would you use for a new project?
Note that this means 77 requests per second, which is not impressive at all.

200000000/(30x24x60x60) ~= 77.16

Apaec··on Deutsche Bank Whistleblower Vanishes
That goes against Occam's Razor. Whistleblower of a powerful bank mafia goes missing, simplest explanation: killed.
Apaec··on Deutsche Bank Whistleblower Vanishes
Works for me as well.
Apaec··on Microsoft in talks to buy Discord for more than $10B
How much money does MS have? Can they just buy any innovation they want?
Apaec··on Microsoft's war on plain text email in open source
> Spam boxes are no longer very useful. Censorship is in full swing. If I were to mention the last name of the founder of Windows, this email would immediately go into the spam box of places like gmail.

Is that true? Can anyone confirm?

Apaec··on YouTube removes interview with professor of medicine on Covid stats and policy
Do you have a link for further reading?
Apaec··on What Is Nix?
There's also a work in progress for a Nix FreeBSD port[1].

Apaec··on What Is Nix?
Would it be possible for you guys to team up and do an opencollective campaign for nix on windows?

The static-haskell-nix[1] project was successful with this approach.

Nix on Windows would be amazing!

Apaec··on Sell Yourself, Sell Your Work
One other thing is that if you don't sell your work, someone else might take it, rebrand it, and sell it for his own profit.
Apaec··on YouTube removed a viral video of two doctors calling for an end to quarantine
Well, I also saw a medical worker saying that if someone dies before testing, that will be counted as a COVID death[1].

No amount of Hacker News Mental Gymnastics(tm) is going to explain that away.

Apaec··on YouTube removed a viral video of two doctors calling for an end to quarantine
This is really a non-argument, as the WHO is also comprised of "doctors".

The belief of dishonesty could be applied both ways.

Apaec··on YouTube removed a viral video of two doctors calling for an end to quarantine
The data regarding number of deaths is severely tainted though. Many doctors have claimed(this is also mentioned in the OP video) that their administration pressures them for including COVID-19 in causes of death.
