skullone··on The Iran War Is a Whole New Level of Quagmire for the US
This is going to leave a mark for centuries, history books are going to look back on this period in the US in complete dismay and horror for what this country continues to do. As an American, and from my point of view, this is a headline moment where this country commits to its slide to just a middling country with "only" 380 million people mismanaged to inefficiency and un competitiveness and brain drain. The whole rest of the world has their own agency and is wising up to the fact that the US is limited to financial instruments and 5-13 functional aircraft carriers to project force. Soft power and goodwill is spent and we're just ignorant bullies who elected a rapist twice and can't be trusted
skullone··on The Government Is Monitoring Anti-Flock TikTok and Instagram Accounts
Tread on us harder!
skullone··on JDK 27 G1/Parallel/Serial GC Changes
What's it like running JVM inside serverless? Python gets interesting enough when it pauses waiting for another call sometimes, the JVM seems like it'd introduce its own interesting things :o
skullone··on Updated GPG Key for Signing Firefox and Thunderbird Releases
Eeeesh. Mozilla, wake up to build and signing processes from 20 years ago, please. Don't embarrass yourselves like this.
skullone··on DEF CON crowd suspected in fake-hotspot attack on Delta flight
People allegedly broadcasting fake SSIDs on a plane to do credential harvesting on a plane shouldn't be prosecuted? Ok...
skullone··on Woman Pulled over at Gunpoint Twice After Flock Camera Glitch
Add the flock CEOs license plate to the system, lets see how he likes it
skullone··on Software development with AI is starting to feel like cooking steak
unlike AI, i've actually used databricks and experienced their crap product
skullone··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
lol, head of ethics at OpenAI? what a spurious role, I wish I could get in on the grift
skullone··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
Yawn. Databricks and their half baked overly expensive platform.
skullone··on Software development with AI is starting to feel like cooking steak
Are you just ai? You make the least intelligible points ever
skullone··on Twenty Years of RISC OS Open
Sibelious crashed sibelious crashed SIBELIOUS CRASHED
skullone··on Elevators
Possibly to balance the hours on elevator banks. Common in buildings to leave some out of the cycle, since elevator maintenance can be a year out to schedule. Probably much worse out at sea
skullone··on Bryan Johnson: I've taken longevity too far
Why is this shit even on HN
skullone··on The five primitives I run a one-person company on
There is no discussion on this post. It's AI spam to sell more AI spam
skullone··on The five primitives I run a one-person company on
If you find AI generated content that is so devoid of anything actionable or useful to be interesting, sheeeeeesh. The bar is so low anymore
skullone··on The five primitives I run a one-person company on
Yah this is just garbage blog spam
skullone··on GrapheneOS Defends Data-Wiping Function That Blocked US Border Search
Both can be true!
skullone··on GrapheneOS Defends Data-Wiping Function That Blocked US Border Search
It is not snarky, it's the truth. Suspending the constitution within 100 miles of every port of entry? Nah son, the government can conduct their petty investigations with a warrant and proper digital forensics if they want to search your property.
skullone··on GrapheneOS Defends Data-Wiping Function That Blocked US Border Search
Maybe digital forensics shouldn't be handled by barely highschool graduates at a busy border crossing
skullone··on Classic WTF: Server Room Fans and More Fun
Goodness. I wish I had a cameraphone in the 90s. There were tons of data centers, IT rooms, telco, labs, meetme rooms, sewers, all done at the seat of your pants.
skullone··on Projected Lifetime Cancer Risks from Current CT Scans
tl;dr
skullone··on The startup's Postgres survival guide
DBAs write software to do this too. You think DBAs are just clicking around in some gui? Hate to break it to you, but every field has done leaps and bounds over the decades too. SWEs can certainly "learn the trade" as a DBA can "learn to code" their own tooling as well, but you realize people specialize, there's fields of practice and domain experts. One of the greatest inventions is the division of labor and specialization.
skullone··on The startup's Postgres survival guide
DBAs in orgs who resource their data teams indeed do constant validation of recovery. I know many DBAs who are in more demand than ever due to the rise of managed databases. If you don't need a DBA, you aren't at a scale or maturity just yet. That you're so dismissive of this role, I have to dismiss your entire opinion because you simply don't grasp the scale of large databases
skullone··on New rental trend? A $200 'work-from-home fee' tacked on to Bay Area lease
Besides a data cap in some areas, it's not really metered, not a variable bill like water or electricity if you wfh
skullone··on New rental trend? A $200 'work-from-home fee' tacked on to Bay Area lease
Comcast is a poor example, and a wizard asking "do you game, you need 1Gb!". Lol
skullone··on The startup's Postgres survival guide
Now you have lots of DBs all probably operating inefficiently with only periodic recovery testing. This is the stuff DBAs do every day, and you're "hasn't happened to us... yet". You'll be just another lesson someday
skullone··on The Corporate Creep of Plex: Why it may be time to move to Jellyfin
Jellyfin works great. Supports my 7.1 Atmos setup with the right media even, very slick, no issues
skullone··on Asthma Control Before and After Changing Gas Stoves to Electric Stoves
I've been shocked how many homes, even new, come with inadequate or no ventilation on kitchens. Or some decorative hood 12 feet up that is really just a fan not exhausting outside in the first place. I can't believe anyone would use gas cooking indoors without exhausting it outside. But, is say 25% or more homes and apartments are deficient
skullone··on Natural experiments prove phytoplankton carbon removal works
Couldn't they front a pump with a macerator?
