what kind of specs can we build a mini itx these days? I haven't looked into it, but the small form factor is a pretty big premium. I'm not sure I could build a ~ Raydon 7600xt micro itx build for less than $1K usd? (I haven't really looked, though).

For me, I'm looking at this like a nice micro itx build, and I'd probably pay up to a grand for it. (pending final specs and performance reviews, because it's kind of hard to compare it's custom chips on paper.)

Waiting for one in RTP. Miss going to the Cambridge one. So much stuff there you don't know you need!

there's also plenty of other options for warehouse/compute processing of iceberg data storage.

I think this is a pretty big deal, though.

Snowflake does a lot more, though, especially around sharing data across company boundaries.

You are that guy. It was obvious that he built some interactive app packaged in a single html file. There's going to be javascript and stuff in there...doah.

EDIT: I wouldn't have expected external dependencies, though.

The market's are different now. Everyone's 401K plans are automatically investing in them each month (my theory on why equities are so expensive now).

I'm telling people that if AI can make the process easy or go away, maybe it's time to rethink we need the process.

Most professional financial planning would have the equity assets portion of the portfolia you at ~30% investing in foreign assets (good times and bad).

With Snowflake's new OpenFlow offering based on Apache Nifi, Snowflake will be able to become Fivetran faster than Fivetran can become Snowflake/Databricks, though....

Thoughts?

I had started writing this in a new thread, then saw yours....

"Unless it's Enterprise users. Then 1000 Enterprises all care very seriously about 2 custom features no one else cares about. You had to do horrible things to your code base to support, that will only kick some poor dev in the face two years after you left, and a year after the customer churned."

100%. As a burnt-out manager, who doesn't get a lot of spare time to actually code. It's nice to have a tool like CC where I can make actual incremental changes in the spare 15 minutes I get here and there.

I spend most of my time making version files with the prompt, but pretty impressed by how far I've gotten on an idea that would have never seen the light of day....

The thoughts of having to write input validation, database persistence, and all the other boring things I've had to write a dozen times in the past....

People doing it now for money aren't the same as you likely doing it for the money in the old day.

When I went into comp-sci, it wasn't the cool path to riches it's been marketed as for the past 15 years.

EDIT: you graduated around the same time as me. Sure everyone wanted jobs. But there were easier paths to getting a good job in '95/96 that cramming late night comp-sci work. Almost everyone in my class had grown up in the age of hacking around on Apple IIs, their first PCs, etc. No one just randomly ended up in the Comp Sci part of the university because they just wanted a job to make money.

Exactly what the OP is saying....

This has been happening since the 2008 financial crash when a lot of people would have normally gone into careers on Wall Street, but the shrinking Wall Street job market led people into tech as a high-performant, decent paying career..... (U.S. biased opinion, of course)

I imagine and hope this is what a lot of people who work for our tech giants thinks, especially around the social medias....

Have you not seen Oracle's price lately?

https://htmx.org/. - for smaller sites. Likely the type of site you'd make content in markdown and have it transformed?

Use an appropriate language and runtime for the right tool/workload. There's better languages and runtimes to use that have better native concurrency built in.

Yeup. I just went through my Feedly, currated my lists, and even started poking at some other RSS readers.

RSS is still alive, and if you're the type of person who doesn't just want the alg telling you what to look at next, then it's still valuable.

There's some many content creators right now, for example, who are specializing in sharing AI knowledge.

Cool, thanks for clarifying. It was just all jumpled in my AMAZING RSS reader. I miss those days.

Same, Steam is my gateway, and I don't have any issues with them.

I think he had a blog called LifeHacker and/or 36 folders (I don't know if they were his or just a writer, but I remember following him back in the day).

It's wild to think that was almost 20 years ago when Getting Things Done was going through tech circles as the organization method dujour. (I also equate the same time period with learning Ruby on Rails.)

I'm waiting for the OP to make an incorrect decision, but justify it because he vibed it on X and from a YouTuber.

It's really funny how the younger people are creating derogatory terms about older people. It's also applied to people who actually aren't baby boomers, too. And they're repeating this, because the title of the article had it in the sub-title [1], and I found it off-puting. But hey, I'm just a sensitive old person.

Maybe need to expand their DEI trainig.

That makes sense, I wasn't sure how "all in" everyone is on these other features that are only github centric.

The hotfixes makes sense.

git was designed as a distributed vcs for high-latency connected developers with plenty of ability to work offline.

I don't think I've really been impacted by any of the outages. Maybe I wait an extra hour to merge a feature or something, in which case I actually get to eat lunch and browse HN, doesn't feel quite as catastrophic for me, as some of you.

Before gitlabs, github, etc. it was common to host your own code repos on-prem. The thing now, though, is that there's a lot of add-on functionality for how teams flow from using github over just hosting a git server.... so it's not really apples v oranges, anymore.

Depends how much customization you've done to your cicd and how heavily you use custom GHA, and other plugins. No way my org could move off in a weekend.

yeah, this makes no sense. Don't the cartels control all aspects from production to distribution?

well, he was arguing that it's not worse than 99% of the human slop that gets posted, so where do you draw the line?

* well crafted, human only? * Well crafted, whether human or AI? * Poorly crafted, human * well crafted, AI only * Poorly crafted, AI only * Just junk?

etc.

I think people will intuitively get a feel for when content is only AI generated. If people spend time writing a prompt that doesn't make it so wordy, and has personality, and it OK, then fine.

Also, big opportunity going to be out there for AI detected content, whether in forums, coming in inmail inboxes, on your corp file share, etc...

Search Claude-code Planning mode. You can use claude to help you write specs. Many YouTube videos, as well. I think spec docs are pretty personal and project specific....
