rennokki··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
If we talk about TB or PB+ scales, then yes.
rennokki··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
More than 100GB can be 101GB, 500GB or 1TB+. I was speaking about 1TB+ files. I'm not sure you can get it faster unless you have a parallel processor.
rennokki··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
This article is good for new programmers to understand why certain solutions are better at scale, there is no silver bullet. And also, this is from 2014, and the dataset is < 4GB. No reason to use hadoop.

The discussion we had here was involving TB of data, so I'm curious how this is faster with CLIs rather than parallel processing...

rennokki··on Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy
It breaks GDPR easily: GDPR enforces you to comply with opt-out by default, no workaround by prefilling before hitting submit.

While some think this applies only to personal data, then yes. But it takes only one line of code to use my phone number for testing while I test locally a register form in the application I'm developing.

Once it gets sent to Copilot I can threaten with legal action if they are not taking it down.

I ain't mad at all. If someone can be a CEO to multiple companies, so can employees have multiple jobs.

GOOD ONE

Nail guns are tools, just like hammers. However, you have to know how to use it and to know how to adjust the pressure for the depth you need. It also costs money, much more than a hammer. And you can't use normal nails, you have to have a specific cartridge of nails, and you must know how to adjust it, and ultimately to not die.

Now compare it again.

It will all crash when they will see that people can't do 10x, even with AI. It requires too much expertise and knowledge in the field to actually make it work as a hired professional. Look at the AWS outages... and they are professionals, right? RIGHT?

This is a management issue. They should be keeping an eye on the progress and see if the pace is enough for the deadline. Estimates are a thing too, I know. But you can see if someone is slacking and falls behind. If the workload is low, why would it matter as long as the things are done?

Companies should stop penalizing people for being work efficient, and increase their salary if the workload increases.

As long as someone finished the assigned tasks for the day, idc if they want office or remote.
rennokki··on Show HN: ClawPool – Pool Claude tokens to make $$$ or crazy cheap Claude Code
Doing this will enforce Claude to raise prices or decrease limits. People do this yet they complain that services no longer offer the same amount of usage or increases prices... There is also corporate greed, but honestly, people abusing the system is what drives that.

   Email: alex@thecodefather.co
Out-of-the-box thinker with an amazing, efficient, hyper-focused mind. Tables got wiped in production? I am the one who stays calm while everyone is in panic mode, running around like it's some fire going on. I can bring unique and creative solutions that the competitors won't think about.

Some say I am a high-energy person that is super fun to be around, with an amazing judge of character, packed with a lot of resilience, intuition and top-notch pattern-recognition skills.

Had multiple clients across multiple industries, from gaming to advertising and real estate. I have switched from freelancing to full-time roles due to stability and better work-life balance.

Keeping the freelance business for B2B collaborations and as a side project for Open-Source, global initiatives or helping people.

I chuckled. This works so good.

rennokki··on Claude for Enterprise
We can have 1B context windows, but is it worth if we end up having a NIAH benchmark result that looks more red than green?
rennokki··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
I think it has to do with the building, perhaps there is a Faraday cage caused by the copper net layer in the walls. From a similar experience, the doorstep of my apartment is really close to my other 2 neighbours (ground floor), and they all have WiFi routers above the entrance, inside — it was very hard to connect and use Wifi in the house on 2.4GHz due to the bandwidth, even if I changed the channels manually, so I was forced to buy a 5GHz router to circumvent the shortage. Also, my LTE doesn't work at all at my doorstep, so it's pretty apparent.
rennokki··on Soketi: Simple, fast and resilient open-source WebSockets server
Ably is awesome. It really is. But not for small developers that have to pay and/or be limited on how many messages you can send.
rennokki··on Soketi: Simple, fast and resilient open-source WebSockets server
Not really - more as an open-source alternative that has many benefits for running it yourself instead of paying or being limited by existing, highly-reliable SaaS products.
rennokki··on Soketi: Simple, fast and resilient open-source WebSockets server
It has - the server you're hosting Soketi on. That's it.

> My guess: Their motivation is probably that they used a SaaS product, which was totally overpriced for what value it provided and they want to show that they can do it better for cheaper.

Yes, and what I replied earlier in this thread: I'm not the only one having this issue with overpriced Pusher, I just dont want to be limited by Pusher on how many messages I wanna distribute to my end users.

> Anyway, what exactly is the use of this compared to just using uWS straight away? It’s build on uWS, so this is basically just a pusher implementation and some notification features with cool branding?

uWS is cool to be used in any WebSocket client. However, Pusher has a strict protocol, so I wanted a product that works with any Pusher SDK - so I won't have to rely on custom clients or something of that ilk.

rennokki··on Soketi: Simple, fast and resilient open-source WebSockets server
The creator of Soketi here. Even if I have 50-100 concurrent connections on most of the projects, I don't wanna be throttled by how many messages I can distribute to my end users - I might have < 100 users, but maybe I have to distribute fresh updates each 5 seconds, what do I do?
