thebillkidy··on Bun 1.4
Amazing job to the team! We already tried it out and got -50% CPU and -60% Mem usage! https://scrydon.com/insights/2026/08/21/bun-1-4-at-scrydon/
thebillkidy··on Why OpenAI Buys "Taste" Instead of IP (and the Rise of the Knowledge Bootstrap)
I've been watching AI commoditize core enterprise software at an insane rate. I think we're moving away from "SaaS" and toward "Executable Expertise"—selling the mental model (the Bootstrap) rather than the tool. Wrote down some thoughts on the shift from Institutions to Individuals.

The AI is in the background, working on unsupervised extraction ;)

Hi There, thanks a lot for your feedback! More is coming as soon as possible!
thebillkidy··on Running C++ code from C# Dotnet Core
[Author] Thanks for pointing this out! Seeing I am quite new to this as well, I was not aware of this. Will check this out!
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
Thanks for this! I think you actually summarized the Bellman equations very well! This gave me some ideas for future blog posts on how to make it more clearer for everyone to understand it better :) most likely the next one is about Bellman equations ;)
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
Update: Fixed it, the caching might need to expire on your side though (ctrl + shift + r should do the trick)
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
You are completely right! Thanks for spotting this! :)
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
Hi Platz, MDPs are actually the basis that you should know towards creating the Bellman equations
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Currently I am working on the high-level definitions of Reinforcement Learning, so that i can build on that to go deeper in the more advanced ones. I'd like to have a series that explains the OpenAI examples :)
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
Hi Lossolo, thanks a lot for this feedback, I took it into account and refactored this sentence a bit :) (deploy will be done in +-2min)
thebillkidy··on The Markov Property, Chain, Reward Process and Decision Process
also fixed it to "third" :) keep the feedback coming
thebillkidy··on [Open-Source] Migrate all your files from GDrive to OneDrive
Thanks! :) I didn't know about this
thebillkidy··on Ask HN: Graph Database or RDBMS?
Great answer! thanks. I decided that I will star with a RDBMS, and then when I get to the point of creating the recommendation / matching engine I will look into hooking up a graph database if I can not solve it through the RDBMS.
thebillkidy··on Ask HN: Graph Database or RDBMS?
It is limited to two entities yes. My experience also leans more towards a RDBMS
thebillkidy··on Ask HN: Graph Database or RDBMS?
The logic and goals of the application have been defined already and tested. Right now it is choosing between the most extensible and best performing storage model. We also want to support further question asking that allows us to extract more domain knowledge, so we want to keep this in mind
thebillkidy··on Brewr.io source code released
Thanks!
thebillkidy··on Brewr.io source code released
Many of these decisions would be done through a Beta if I had released it. I did however put a lot of thought into it but after seeing some interesting sign ups from specific companies I decided that a beta would be the way to go.

However, the project was terminated due to the lack of time / financials.

thebillkidy··on Brewr.io source code released
This project was meant for upper management, as in a company decides on a project and the developers can instantly get to work. See of it as local development environment. It is also easy to be deleted and removed from the system so that a system stays as clean as possible.

The main vision was that a developer should be set up within minutes and be able to receive updates when an environment changes it's configuration.

I had some more ideas planned, such as work statistics for project management and deployment to production environments.

Docker will be coming out with a solution for this pretty soon
thebillkidy··on Feedient source code published on GitHub
Hello, My name is Xavier and I wrote the complete Backend as you see it in the repository.

A lot of the server code consists out of design patterns, I did this because of the need for maintenance on the different providers.

This was my first try for applying design patterns on a big project so there might be some holes or wrong doings there. Please let me know if you find any so I can learn from it :)

thebillkidy··on Solving a maze with Perl and DFS
I do agree with your point, however when writing quick code on windows and unix I think perl really does the job. It is just the matter of using the languages available and that you are most fluent in.
thebillkidy··on Regulating Cybersquatting (Domain Sharks)
I agree there are a lot of reasons to keep a domain parked. The only thing I do not agree on is buying domains just to resell them again. You can do that with ground, properties and so on because these are valuable. But on a platform such as the internet this just puts a stop to the evolution of it.

The drugs reference might be a bit overdone, I just want to make a statement here to find a regulation for this.

thebillkidy··on Recursion with SQL
Oracle SQL Indeed has CTE's :) I mentioned those together with other special use cases in previous articles on my blog.
thebillkidy··on Recursion with SQL
I have not included CTE's because I wanted to show pure recursion queries without the use of this. I think CTE's will be faster though but I have yet to verify this.
thebillkidy··on Show HN: Feedient – All of your social life in one place
Hello there,

We know that this has been done before, we however are not happy about the UX experience on both those platforms and wanted to improve this.

The other reason that we did this is because our vision is to completely streamline the Social media usage on the internet. We are working heavily on this and will be moving towards this goal more and more. What you see now is thus a small preview of what is coming next.

Kind regards, Xavier
