florbo··on APITable: open-source Airtable alternative
Eh, mistakes happen. For me it's all about how they're handled.
florbo··on Possibly a new way of drawing boxes in the terminal
Yes, the content has less distractions and is more legible when it has solid uniformity and consistency. Bleeding colors create a distraction and may run up against other content, potentially degrading legibility.
florbo··on Why is Snowflake so expensive
It doesn't lower barriers to entry, it's contrary to logical expectations for someone unfamiliar with how BQ works. If the query is limited to 10 results you wouldn't expect it to scan all 2 trillion of your records. Granted there are numerous warnings in the GUI for these types of things but make this mistake in Python and you're none the wiser.

Nope

multiple pan angle 360 arc shot challenge
florbo··on Apple Silicon is an inconvenient truth
When I compare products with similar price/performance/efficiency ratios there's no one product/company that stands out to me. What the fuck is everyone on...
florbo··on LocalStack 1.0
You don't get mad when walking into a grocery store, do you? All sorts of stuff in there locked behind a paywall.
florbo··on RabbitMQ 3.11 Feature Preview: Super Streams
In my case it would have been an issue regardless of what the queue/pubsub tech was (talking on-prem, not GCP Pubsub or AWS, which would just chug along effortlessly, not care, and take our money), since the entire consumer stack was toast and dumping unprocessed data was a no-no. The real issue there was my manager not having a spine coupled with not allowing my team to do its job autonomously. Even with the wonky setup we had it would have been dead simple to chain additional clusters. Stupid but easy with the automation we had built.

However, adding another Kafka or Pulsar node would have been much easier.

florbo··on RabbitMQ 3.11 Feature Preview: Super Streams
What's low volume? At one point I used rmq to ingest ~20,000 messages per second of varying length. From Tweets to blog posts, all containing the full content of the activity with metadata. It was with 3 node cluster.. wish I remembered the specs but nothing crazy aside from the SSD IOPs. The one time it fell over was when the consumers were broke long enough to fill up the disks.
florbo··on Breast cancer drug trial: Woman given months to live told she is cancer free
Possible? Sure! Individual evaluation of every cell in your body is possible.

Our capability to do so, however...

florbo··on Using a "proper" camera as a webcam
Yep, I'm using a Pixel 2 with both DroidCamX and DroidCam OBS (with OBS' virtual camera), I can second that claim.

I occasionally use a Nexus 6 on another setup, but it's a bit bulkier to mount and is a bit finicky with DroidCamX. It has froze up on me a couple times. The OBS version works fine, though. I'll chalk it up to not cleaning up the phone prior to repurposing it.
