javier2··on Jemalloc 5.4.0
We changed to jemalloc first on a jvm service which we could never get to run in its kube memory limit. with jemalloc its been dead stable for years, and we made it the default for all jvm services
javier2··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Oh, Google does not like others stealing and indexing their content?! How dare they!

javier2··on Fuck it, make it anyway
NGL, its a little annoying and disheartening that many can now partially build with an LLM tool what I spent so many years learning. It does not cover all cases, but there is an element of this.
javier2··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
Yeah, I have stopped basically all consumption except from youtube, which itself also has a tendency to expand to fill all available time. I dont use shorts that much, but there is just much good content being released as well.
javier2··on Relm4 makes developing beautiful cross-platform applications idiomatic
How the hell do you have a commerical haskell binding project?
javier2··on A safe MySQL upgrade that wasn't so safe
yeah, now that you mention it i remember a similar issue for us on postgres where we transitioned tables without primary key to being primary key serial.
javier2··on CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in Venezuela
I will try out CoMaps. Tried OsmAnd and it takes forever to get gps position on my iphone.
javier2··on GitHub Outage Tracker: Is GitHub Cooked?
and it has been so damn slow for a number of years now, it drives me insane.
javier2··on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
You are absolutely right to push back on this. Let me think for a moment.
javier2··on MySQL CDC to BigQuery: what periodic syncs miss, and how binlog avoids it
I have no horse in this race, but CDC sounds more robust? It will capture all changes, regardless of how the application maintainers use the database.
javier2··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
It happens, but rarely this bad, as they would lose customers.

Some extremely touristic areas can get away with anything.

javier2··on Anthropic's best AI model struggles to attract users as cheaper tools thrive
we have 7 coworkers we have been trying to re-instate for nearly 4 months now. All using the same google workspace sso, so there really was no special reason to ban them...
javier2··on Hister – A private, full content search index that you control
I think its kinda cool, but I dont really get it? So I can gather and search my browser history + most websites i have visited?
javier2··on The road to ACID transactions in Cassandra 6
its not a drop in. There is no reasonable way of replacing a huge existing cassandra cluster with scylladb. You have to transition as it was a new database.
javier2··on The road to ACID transactions in Cassandra 6
yeah, i suppose one could start with scylladb as their base today.
javier2··on The road to ACID transactions in Cassandra 6
I also run a large-ish cassandra cluster, and I dont really disagree, but then what else?

I would not recommend starting new projects with it either, but what else will you use?

javier2··on The road to ACID transactions in Cassandra 6
Thanks for this, really looking forward to the release of Accord
javier2··on Radiation damage to Hubble has been 4.3 years out of phase with the Solar cycle
its actually quite doable. any cosmic rays will not be present in two pictures in a row. any permanent damage will be exactly the same in all pictures.
javier2··on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint
usually its scanning for chromecasts on the local network, but could be other things as well
javier2··on How Kubernetes Probes Work
cascading failures on upstream services. then you get 20 different services failing instead of the single one.
javier2··on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months
same here, even when we went to larger hardware producers, they were basically we would sell you, but we cant actually get any RAM at all either.
javier2··on How Bluesky draws its logo on screenshots
it isnt really. Im saying the feature is reasonable from Apple's UI elements, i wasnt saying the way Bluesky is using it is reasonable...

javier2··on How Bluesky draws its logo on screenshots
Did you read the post? Nothing is hijacked, but its a trick where they render the normal button in a ui element for secret data, which is blanked by the system on screenshot, revealing the logo underneath. Its a reasonable feature, so its hard for apple to control it better or remove this.
javier2··on Incident with Github.com
While I agree in principle, Github with their CI is very critical to many parties.
javier2··on Tracking down a Zsh history data loss bug
Not sure i understood this. What does it mean? :D

Does it put `export` statements from the histfile into the current env?

javier2··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers
Especially writing code has rarely been very hard the past 10 years. It was always reading existing code and understanding its implications that was the hard part, and understanding how to adapt new requirements together with the existing ones.
javier2··on RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland
managing the certificates safely is too much of a hassle. especially if i dont want to accessible on public internet.
javier2··on Iceberg Collapses and Flips over in Ilulissat, Greenland (July 25, 2026) [video]
