I can't find it now but I think I read words to the effect that performance is degraded if one isn't using the correct license or something, even for v23.x versions.
That is an inspiring read. I almost went down this path when I got laid off last. I still somewhat regret taking up a corporate job back then instead of focusing on something else. But then, I probably wasn't ready. Thanks for writing this Peter.
Are you me ? I wrote an exact program like this in GW Basic back in the day. I remember adding the ability to draw coloured lines but I had no way to verify since my computer monitor was one of those with green coloured pixels. Finally got to see everything in full colour at my school lab and was so thrilled. Those were the days ...
We've been a customer for long for some of out applications. It's a shame but I get their reasoning. The hosted postgresql market is getting crowded and it is difficult for a small shop to stand out.
Agree. I’m a Tesla owner and I bought it only for the super charger network. Living in Europe, every country I travel to can have different charging networks and so the Tesla network is one of the few that lets me drive on road trips without a worry. I don’t care about FSD.
This is true. The early humans likely just ate one meal a day, and were moving a lot. They also ate when they got hungry and not necessarily when it's time for "lunch".
All the reviews and impressions of the Model Y, for me, fail to mention the fact that the seats are so uncomfortable. Is it just me ? In 2 years of owning the car, I've not been able to have a decently comfortable sitting position. Maybe its my body type but just jacking up the seat from the Model 3 just doesn't work.
I liked the points you've made. I've had the Model Y for about two years and the reason I still with it is actually the supercharger network and the ease of roadtripping. I hate having to depend on the third party charging network and having multiple accounts with multiple providers and then figuring.
I have a Model Y and depending on the speed limit, I cruise at 120-130 and stop every 200kms or so for a charge. I charge till about 80% or slightly lower when I stop.
I think this is a US only problem. People in the US probably take longer road trips than the rest of the world. When I take a Roadtrip, I need a 20 minute break every two hours anyway, and as far as I have seen that is enough for a charge for the next two hours. It's not perfect but I don't think it's as bad as the people in this thread are making it out be. I'm in Europe btw.
I guess the idea is that the machine is not isolated. They are on the "Internet" and so is the rest of our infrastructure. Bad actors can and have already been able to infect grids and the like, but I think we'll just need to build the checks into our existing systems. <humour>There is no other way to stop the AI overlords.</humour>

And how much is 2400 worth here ? Yes, its worth the same as 800 was back in India. Anyway, the numbers aren't important. The thing I was trying to point out was that if one wants a high flying career and get paid accordingly, Denmark isn't for them. The salaries are just not comparable to the US, yet.
I think it depends a lot from where one is moving from. I'd say moving from the Bay Area is actually a quality of life downgrade given the weather and tech salaries in general. The great thing about the US is opportunities. In Denmark, you'd be hard pressed to find your next move unless you live close to Copenhagen/Aarhus etc.
I say this as someone who moved from India and was in a fairly high paid job in India - I find the cost of various things about 3 times the cost of the same thing in India and guess how much has my salary increased ? Exactly 3 times. Yes, the quality of life has changed, but I don't really save anymore than I used to back in India. And with the way the taxes are structured, it can be a stretch to live as a single income family. It's no surprise that Denmark has among the highest percentages of dual income households - it is simply difficult to live on a single income.
Would I change anything ? Maybe, maybe not. It's a great country to raise kids, the quality of life is amazing, workplace stress in most workplaces is non existent, one has great autonomy and the society is built on trust - It's amazing how that can change your life - the US should try it :) But, if you're a high flying career oriented individual, Denmark isn't for you since the qualities needed for that kind of career, are actively frowned upon in Denmark compared to the US or even Germany.
I think this is a cool idea and well done. I've thought about it myself a few times over the decade that I've been listening to podcasts. Most podcast conversation is passive but at times I want to say something to a creator when I'm listening or talk about a specific point, but can't do it because ... well it's passive.
usenet needs a hosting provider. And providers would usually mirror a subset of feeds so yeah you could think of it as distributed but it is a much simpler protocol. Freenet is more complicated, p2p, encrypted, anonymous medium and also the main difference is in the way the data is distributed on all participants computers instead of one central server.
We run a Cassandra cluster in production and its a pretty small cluster yet all that you mentioned seems to resonate. We do use Cassandra reaper to automate some of the tasks but no one wants to touch Cassandra in general in the team.
