cschmatzler··on Cf: The Agentic CLI for the Cloudflare API
This is also not correct in this case since they recently rewrote the Artifacts backend from Zig to TypeScript.
cschmatzler··on Neki – Sharded Postgres
A year ago in the initial announcement post you explicitly mentioned open sourcing it.

> When we are ready we will release Neki as an open source project suitable for running the most demanding Postgres workloads.

Has this changed?

cschmatzler··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
This is making my current work 100 times easier. Very welcome timing.
cschmatzler··on Two pilots dead after plane and ground vehicle collide at LaGuardia
Front fell off, people deplaned (while still horizontal) which shifted the balance backwards. It’s sitting on the rear bulkhead,
cschmatzler··on Rivian R2: Electric Mid-Size SUV
This won’t fit the usual hate, but.. https://epc.tesla.com Vast majority of parts can be ordered directly from the catalogue.
cschmatzler··on Bunny Database
fwiw, Bunny are the people that announced S3 compatibility for their object storage in Q2 2022 [1]

> We can’t wait to have this available as a preview later in Q2 and truly make global storage a breeze, so keep an eye out!

then apologised for missing that in September 2023 [2]

> We initially announced that we were working on S3 support for Bunny Storage all the way back in 2022. Today, as 2023 is slowly coming to an end, many of our customers continue to follow our blog, hoping for good news about the release.

changing the roadmap to early 2024 [2]

> But we are working aggressively toward shipping S3 compatibility in early 2024.

That same post also has the beautiful "At bunny.net, we value transparency." quote. It's early 2026, and they're literally ignoring my support requests asking about what the roadmap is looking like for this now.

So, do not trust their product or leadership at all.

cschmatzler··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
I agree that this decision is insane and the whole Optimus/xAI bullshit is tiring, especially with the shareholders actually voting against the xAI investment, but you should try today's FSD. It's genuinely good and shouldn't be discarded wholesale because the guy sucks.
cschmatzler··on Code and Let Live
yeah nobody should use this based on reliability and support alone
cschmatzler··on Ryanair flight landed at Manchester airport with six minutes of fuel left
This had nothing to do with any of that tho.
cschmatzler··on Claude Code is all you need
and again we can tell based on how the x isn’t centered in the close button
cschmatzler··on Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
Yeah I strongly emphasise with them getting their money - the only problem with headless components being behind a paid license is that you cannot build a design system on top of them and open source it.
cschmatzler··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
A 787 can still climb with flaps up and two healthy engines. In the video that was posted everywhere, you can CLEARLY hear the RAT spin, which gets deployed automatically when both engines go out.
cschmatzler··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
Both slats and flaps were on maximum during the entire flight.
cschmatzler··on We were wrong about GPUs
It’s nice seeing a major outage a day after this.
cschmatzler··on Arizona woman trapped in Tesla when battery dies
Thought the same. I’d say it’s _too_ obvious because every time I have someone new in the passenger seat I have to warn them when they grab it.
cschmatzler··on Elixir 1.17 released: set-theoretic types in patterns, durations, OTP 27
Use lexical instead of elixirls and most of your worries will be gone
cschmatzler··on Super Heavy has splashed down in The Gulf of Mexico
Methane and oxygen are not very toxic.
cschmatzler··on Erlang/OTP 27 Highlights
ExDoc is arguably one of the nicest documentation systems out there, and Erlang moving to it means two things: 1. The Erlang devs do not need to implement and maintain their own anymore. 2. ExDoc will improve faster since people previously working on Erlang’s documentation system shift to it.

It’s really a win for both, and I love it.

cschmatzler··on Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover
They were required to by an airworthiness directive. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/06/29/2017-13...
cschmatzler··on Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover
Neither. It’s an error by whoever last did maintenance on the engine and didn’t latch the door properly, and the pilot doing the walk around missing that error. Not a Boeing issue whatsoever.
cschmatzler··on Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover
Because Boeing didn’t have the same issue Airbus did. The latches on A320 family cowlings were kinda hidden from view, which made them less likely to be seen during the pilot’s walk around before departure. The EASA (and then subsequently the FAA) issued an airworthiness directive [1] that required the visibility to be resolved. For this case, it’s simply both the mechanic forgetting to latch it properly _and_ the pilot missing that fact during the walk around. Either way, it’s not really a safety critical incident, just rather embarrassing. [1] https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/06/29/2017-13...
cschmatzler··on Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover
Whoever did not latch the door properly after doing maintenance checks. Which is either a mechanic at the airline itself or someone at a maintenance hub that is contracted by the airline. Not the job of the manufacturer whatsoever.
cschmatzler··on Southwest Boeing 737-800 flight from Denver loses engine cover
This is not related to Boeing at all. Engine covers not being closed properly is a relatively common (still rare in the grand scheme of things) incident and happens a lot more frequently on Airbus models to the point that Airbus modified the door latch.
cschmatzler··on Atuin – Magical shell history
The server is optional and opt-in, stuff is saved to a local SQLite database by default.
cschmatzler··on My notes on Gitlab's Postgres schema design (2022)
If you use MySQL, Planetscale’s branching is really amazing. Not using them, but wish I could for that. Gives you a complete diff of what you’re doing, and can also pre-plan migrations and only apply them when you need with their gating.
cschmatzler··on Fly.io has GPUs now
Reliability and support. Having even “the entire node went down” tickets get an auto-response to “please go fuck off into the community forum” is insane. What is the community forum gonna do about your reliability issues? I can get a 4€/mo server at Hetzner and have actual people in the datacenter respond to my technical inquiries within minutes.
cschmatzler··on More misdrilled holes on 737 MAX in latest setback
The A320neo family has a backlog of over 7000 orders. As much as Airbus is ramping up production in the past few years, with their current ~600 goal for 2024 that’s still a 12 year wait if you order one today.
cschmatzler··on United Airlines CEO says the airline will consider alternatives to Boeing
The 787 is absolutely plagued with quality control issues.

In particular, deliveries were stopped for almost two full years from September 2020 to August 2022, with more issues found recently. The Charleston plant is considered the worse one compared to Everett.

cschmatzler··on Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
That’s an underlying QEMU bug, which is used by Lima [1]. Add `ENV ERL_FLAGS="+JPperf true"` to your Dockerfile and it will build just fine cross platform. The flag just changes some things during build time and won’t affect runtime performance.

cschmatzler··on Elixir and Phoenix can do it all
This post is missing one huge point: its tooling is bad. Like, real bad. The language server will regularly crash, does not support code actions _at all_, messes up formatting regularly by ignoring the configuration. Then credo, the popular linter, will tell you that your imports are not alphabetically ordered but there’s no fix mode, meaning you’ll go back to order them yourself. I love the language, am using it during my day job right now, and have published multiple libraries, but the development experience can be infuriating.
