At this point I don't know if anyone at github does code reviews. They hide large diffs as you said, but navigation is also broken, I have to click several times on a filename for the UI to scroll to it.

They also decided that comments should not be visible instead you have to hunt for a tiny avatar of the person who left them. Very puzzling

Not to be pedant but that's GMT – UTC doesn't have daylight savings

This is a consequence of WW2, Spain and France moved to CET to align themselves with nazi germany. Portugal and the UK didn't.

Which ways do we have to measure productivity for open source software? Most of the tooling around that still focus on lines of code and cyclomatic complexity

I don't know, a lot of the things we used to take for granted as "hard" just aren't anymore. Writing a parser for a compiler? It used to be an endeavor that took several days, now an LLM will do it in 20 mins.

Same for annoying training jobs, with sufficient data you can probably let an LLM loose on it in autotrain mode and it will come back with a decent classifier.

How does this help? If your container gets compromised it's trivial to exfiltrate the secrets.

No but at least these companies have a full-time security team working on that. It's different when it's you doing this as a hobby in your homelab

I'm not sure that calculus is going to be true for much longer – with the costs of AI falling, it's going to be much easier to throw tokens at the problem even tiny targets that wouldn't have been worth it before. Can you guarantee your VPN is patched and secure at all times?

I've never heard of a colo looking into their customers servers. They're not in the business of monitoring their clients.

I don't understand the coordination problem – if you want to pull out you have to find someone else to buy your share?

> You can get around this by hosting in a 3rd party data center, but now you have the same trust issue again, but with more steps

No this is not true — colos are very hands off.

You don't need to operate a mini AWS to self-host, and I don't know why people on HN want to make it sound like self-hosting if you don't have nation state security

Given the amount of people complaining about crawlers in the past 2 years, I think it's the latter

People do hate on it but MySQL is what I would reach for when needing tons of scale. Its correctness issues about type conversions are super well documented at this point and Innodb is really good at ingesting tons of data. There's also a lot of talent you can hire if you need exotic setup.

They still need to proofread the doc and make sure it applies to their client though?

There are lots of APIs where the order of argument isn't obvious, it doesn't mean they're bad designs

If you've run an ssh server connected to the internet you've gotten used to the hundred of bots probing it every day. How is this AI threat different from humans writing scripts to pop linux servers?

It's another 50% joint venture?

This is incorrect, ArianeGroup is mostly french, it's a joint venture between Airbus and Safran.

The french always had Ariane??

Honestly could you blame him for not liking Java in 2007? Between the many layers of abstractions the frameworks used, the exceptions and the sluggishness to compile it was not a compelling stack

It makes you wonder if people review code there given how broken the experience is, it's a core part of the product!

Please, read between the lines. Github actions has been a mess since 2019 at least. None of the instability is new, before this unprecedented growth (for a service that's supposed to scale horizontally) the excuse du jour was the azure migration, before that it was the high rate of shipping post acquisition.

Core parts of the product, like navigating to individual files in a code review, are broken

If fixing potholes and making the city run better is demagogy, I'd take than any day when the alternative is Cuomo or Adams. It's not like they were high-minded public servants looking at the long term

Why put Zohran in the same bag as trump? From what I can see NYC is running pretty well

I looked it up because I'm interested in the subject but it seems it's only a proposal right now? At least according to this 5 month old blog post https://rhaas.blogspot.com/2026/03/pgplanadvice-plan-stabili...

Edit: Never mind, found it https://www.postgresql.org/docs/19/pgplanadvice.html

At least you have access to USE INDEX on MySQL. On Postgres it's not rare to have a query suddenly perform awful in production because some switch flipped in the planner and now it's picking some random index

I think OP might be referring to synthetic data, which is now used to provide more data for training?

A t2 instance is virtualized, AWS keeps its servers for 5 years (see their 10k https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/0001... ), so your t2 does get moved around regularly to newer servers.

And no, ECC is relevant with less than 64 gigs of ram, there's a reason it's been a standard on servers since the 90s

I mean if you run serious stuff on a non-ECC CPU from 2015, you'll probably have a bad time.

They're great for hobbyists but people on here keep bringing them up as the flagbearer of euro hosting

We're not even talking cutting edge. If you browse hetzner's auction page you can see they're renting machines with almost decade old CPUs like the Xeon W-2145 or i7 6700. That's just a lot of old hardware..

Upcloud, Scaleway, Clever cloud, etc.
