Hacker News Reader

Waymo

Reader was dropped in the run up to G+. I believe there was a strategic decision to try and get people to move to G+ and move both personal news and organisational news together.

Crap! I was using this to manage my hledger files and it did a decent job.

antibioson Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image

This discussion is crazy. Google is a business that sells advertising. They build a free browser so that it is easier for the end user to use their product. Chrome does tricky things to help google like, automatically searching if you don't type a URL into the address bar. You as a user, you have typed midjourney instead of midjourney.com using google search as your dns lookup.

Google is a business that has correctly identified that users are most likely unable to type the full URL into a browser and uses this opportunity to display some advertising. As my retirement investment holds a small amount of ETFs that would own google shares, yay for me. Thank you for not typing .com

antibioson Go 1.25 Release Notes

This is so true and unfortunate because golang has an inbuilt example function that closely follows the test functions. It means that all that really needs to change is how godoc promotes or badges libraries with examples.

antibioson Snowflake to buy Crunchy Data for $250M

I run a two service cluster in the home lab for fun. I use PVC mapped to a NFS share for the actual data so you could always run a local postgres binary against it. In a production environment I would map these to local disk partitions like you would normally do for a db.

The upgrade process is actually quite nice when it works but it is "another" thing to learn and troubleshoot.

I think of CRDs as a troubleshooting flowchart that someone with more experience than me has put together. When it's right it's great and when it's wrong it makes trouble shooting harder. That is until you remember that the whole point of k8s is ephemeral containers. When one breaks just delete it and let pgcluster CRD resync the data.

Hey, I noticed that you reference other implementations. What's the rationale for a new implementation?

Cheers

There are many parts to government but the French are actually sponsors of matrix. So one would have believed that they agreed with secure communications.
