CSDude··on Supabase Clippy – ChatGPT for Supabase Docs
My keyboard does noy have dedicated / . Both modifiers ctrl/cmd + shift + 7(/) does not work either.
CSDude··on What can I do for Arch Linux?
> Ask not what your Arch Linux can do for you – ask what you can do for your Arch Linux.

Joking aside, I wish I've known Arch many years ago in the university, where I could actually do more for Arch, than just using, and this page structure would be certainly helpful.

CSDude··on DataDog asked OpenTelemetry contributor to kill pull request
We switched to OpenTelemetry agent from DataDog agent. Out of all commercial providers, Datadog is the worst one to show traces properly. Although it captures mostly the same traces, all of them have io.opentelemetry.something on UI making it very hard to read. I’ve tried Honeycomb, NewRelic, Lightstep.
CSDude··on PagerDuty to Lay Off 7% of Staff; Revenue Officer to Exit
This might surprise you, but I've worked a lot on that logs feature, including two new architectures for the infrastrucutre of it over 3 years.
CSDude··on PagerDuty to Lay Off 7% of Staff; Revenue Officer to Exit
Ex-Opsgenie here. Sorry it turned out to be that way but I’m saddened by the state as well.
CSDude··on Elastic, Loki and SigNoz – A Perf Benchmark of Open-Source Logging Platforms
What schema does SigNoz use with Clickhouse? The Open Telemetry Collector uses this schema https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co... and I found out that accesing map attributes is much slower (10-50x) compared to regular columns. I expected some slow down but this is too much.
CSDude··on API Mismatch: Why bolting SQL onto noSQL is a bad idea
PartiQL on DynamoDB is just syntactic sugar. DynamoDB is not meant to be used that way, but it's query and insert language can be a bit tricky, PartiQL just a helper for that weird query syntax, you can't do joins or aggregates. PartiQL is supported by QLDB, Redshift as well, to unify a querying language somewhat. Docs should be much more clearer to indicate the dangers of it , to avoid confusion like this.

But you can scan MongoDB, Elastic with Presto in parallel it works great when you need to run it, a few times. But if you find yourself using a NoSQL data store as relational, or OLTP cases just because you have ability to run SQL on it is going to hurt you and it should be obvious. As with everything in software, it depends.

We use PartiQL library directly at Resmo https://www.resmo.com because it makes querying the datastore with nested values easier and the its storage independent.

CSDude··on AMD Ryzen 5 7600 / Ryzen 7 7700 / Ryzen 9 7900 Linux Performance
And unfortunately a similar instance at AWS would cost 2000$/month, even with spot instances it’d be 500$ at most which is still huge. I am aware of why cloud exists, but this is just sad. Have been using Github Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines, they both suck and no good observabilit exists for them.

CSDude··on Leaked Slack all-hands meeting reveals a ‘strong culture clash’ with Salesforce
Been in an Atlassian acquistion from a smaller startup. AMA
CSDude··on Ask HN: Concepts that clicked only years after you first encountered them?
Sadly, React. Was using Angular 1, and Vue made much more sense. I'm not a Frontend Developer though, but needed to learn React but it happened to late. At least, when I needed to learn, components were not classes anymore but functions which made learning curve somehow simpler for me although its not much difference.
CSDude··on More developers use Linux than Mac, according to 2022 StackOverflow survey
All of these are minor features. Mac just works and apps look gorgeous. I love my Arch, but even the simplest Linux distro requires more work than a mac. Even getting an equivalent font rendering is hard. Even the most Linux compatible Dells and Thinkpads have issues that made me frustrated often. I love any Linux package manager and window manager over Mac, but random issues that require tweaking is a lot.
CSDude··on Ubuntu Snap update spoiled my World Cup Final

CSDude··on Ubuntu Snap update spoiled my World Cup Final
Ugly politics, guy was just trying to delay timeline
CSDude··on Ubuntu Snap update spoiled my World Cup Final
Snap is an abomination. See my previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33173762

I fought with a guy in 2015 that believed snap was the future, and this cost me almost my job back then.

CSDude··on Remotely unlock/start/locate any remotely connected Honda/Nissan [resolved]
Based on your comments, it seems you really can't emphasize with others that cannot drive a stick for some reason. It's not obvious, it requires a cordination and timing; unless you know what to do, you will stop your car, over/under-rev the engine, slide back on a steep road.

I taught many people how to drive and it was always a challenge with manual. Anyone cannot figure out without any verbal or written instructions.

People do drive a stick with education whether its formal drivers license course/exam, or some one is teaching them. An American usually does not need to learn a manual because almost no one uses a manual. But some other parts of the world, automatic transmission can be a considerable cost item. Even some countries started to have automatic only drivers licenses.

CSDude··on Just a bunch of idiots having fun: a photo history of the LAN party
Until 2012-2013, we met at Internet Cafe to play LAN games with my high school friends. It was not common to carry your PCs in our culture but a lot of folk went to cafes to play Age of empires, counter strike, middle earth, generals. Then came non-LAN games. And we started to not meet. I still miss those days with almost zero latency.
CSDude··on Show HN: Open-source alternative to Retool
Yes this would make switches much more possible
CSDude··on Ask HN: Skeptical about my company going “full serverless”. What am I missing?
Goodbye to local development experience. New architect hire suggesting big changes does not have anything else to do to justify their excistence.

Some Async use cases is great but large scale apps becomes clusterfuck. Experience: we made a whole feature on AWS lambda. Sucked. 2 years later its a spring app in a container now.

CSDude··on Birdwatch, Twitter's collaborative fact checking system
I thought the exact same thing. But then I noticed some code is also open-source. https://github.com/twitter/birdwatch/tree/main/static/source...
CSDude··on Jetbrains Aqua
I downloaded, started a new Kotlin based Selenium project and it does not work. JDK 17. I closed the IDE and tried it now and it does.

I think it's a great initiative but I would love if it launched with Playwright support as well at the beginning.

CSDude··on Mkcert: Simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates
We use it at our company. Also in CI. Because it's much more straightforward and everyone can understand what it does. Glad it exists.
CSDude··on Ask HN: Anyone else receiving unsolicited Datadog marketing spam?
I have a catch-all on our domain. Occasionally someone at Datadog enumarates mails with names on Linkedin but some fails. So its not just their CRM.

But when I apply to startup program through AWS activate, almost radio silence. So, there goes their priorities.

CSDude··on Ask HN: How to show a not “so perfect” MVP to potential customers?
Ask them to be design partners.
CSDude··on We are still early with the cloud
I prefer the ability to run and debug locally coupled with a good IDE. I know VSCode is popular, people customize the shit out of Vim, but IntelliJ just works for me when I'm writing Java, Kotlin or Typescript/React. Refactor and debug is not comparable. And I know most think its hard on resources, but we have 200k lines of code yet and it works with 16GB M1 Air very well leaving more than enough spare resources for the system.
CSDude··on Oracle to Contribute GraalVM CE Java Code to OpenJDK
Congrats, how will EE proceed? Will we see G1 GC in native image CE anytime soon?
CSDude··on Ask HN: What startups do you properly love and are rooting for?
JumpCloud & Retool
CSDude··on Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
We use Gin for searching cyber asset configuration at Resmo. It works good enough because users search for specific things like "logs bucket" or UUIDs and there are exact matches. Typos are not important. But if they'd be, Postgres search is not very helpful. But it beats hosting another thing just for this use case if you'd be happy enough.
CSDude··on JetBrains invites developers to join the Fleet Public Preview Program
We prefer sync code reviews sometimes and it's easier.
CSDude··on Canonical shows ads in the Ubuntu CLI
Arch is easy to install (if you are comfortable with Linux, terminal and fucking up your partitions)

0. If you have Windows, a bit tiny work to correctly setup secure boot and UEFI

1. Create partitions manually, carefully. For best results I use seperate disks but windows installer still fucks up.

2. Mount and chroot

3. Install packages

4. Install a network manager

5. Reboot

6. Install a favorite login and desktop manager and if have any nvidia drivers

7. Reboot to ensure nvidia drivers load (F** you secureboot)

8. Install a nice font (sorry, yes)

9. Audio mostly works out of the box but if not install pulseaudio or something else.

10. Install yay or any AUR helper to install non-official packages in AUR.

11. Occasionally run pacman -Syu to update system to be not left behind a lot. There are no fixed releases like Ubuntu 22.04 or sth.

It looks complex, I know, but it's fun and there are literally every package with almost latest versions in Arch and if not, in AUR which helps a lot.
