rickette··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
Why do I need to select the most expensive M3 Max version (the one with 16 cores) to get 48 or 64 gigs of RAM. The M3 Max with 14 cores only allow 36 or 96 gigs. Just let me choose 14 cores and 64 gigs.
rickette··on We Just Gave $500k to Open Source Maintainers
Cheap? Based on what metric? It's a significant donation if you ask me. Also remember Sentry isn't a FAANG.
rickette··on We Just Gave $500k to Open Source Maintainers
Great initiative and cool to see employees have a say in this.
rickette··on Microsoft in talks to sign on Amazon as customer in $1B cloud tools deal
https://aws.amazon.com/workmail/ anyone? Not an office suite but the email/calendar part looks covered.
rickette··on K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
Hashicorp is playing safe here, Nomad can do with far far less resources.
rickette··on How Netflix uses Java
You're probably confusing twitter with netflix, the former is/was a scala shop.
rickette··on Show HN: Decorate Java stack traces with source code snippets
This look pretty useful, thanks.
rickette··on Show HN: Atlassian Design for Bootstrap v5
This isn't affiliated with Atlassian.
rickette··on Data accidentally exposed by Microsoft AI researchers
At this point MS might as well aquire Wiz, given the number of azure security findings they have found.
rickette··on Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage
Azure Blob Storage actually has explicit append support using "Append"-blobs (next to block and page blobs)
rickette··on GitHub was down
Only partially I believe, there quite famous for running their own hardware (metal cloud). I think some new features like Actions, Codespaces and of course Copilot run on Azure.
rickette··on Show HN: Lottielab – Create product animations in the browser easily
This looks great, definitely gonna try it out.

One tip: add social login buttons (login with Google/GitHub), eases the sign up proces.

rickette··on Ode to the M1
So true, 4-5 years seems reasonable to me, 3 years isn't much
rickette··on Passing arguments to CloudRun Jobs invocation
Was pretty weird that you couldn't specify the job arguments (only workaround was to create an entirely new job), glad they fixed that.
rickette··on Credit card debt tops $1 trillion, trapping even six-figure earners
Why is paying with credit card the default in the US (at least that the impression I've got when visiting as a tourist) while here in Europe debit cards are the norm?
rickette··on Go 1.21 Released
The backwards compatibility promise (as always) is really nice. Java/JVM is the only other language/platform that I can think of that does more or less the same. Using both extensively by the way.
rickette··on Homebrew Is Awesome
It's still opt-out, but they moved from Google Analytics to their own self-hosted InfluxDB for increased privacy.
rickette··on Homebrew Is Awesome
Thanks for your work, it's a great package manager!
rickette··on Kafka is dead, long live Kafka
Will this only exist as a managed service (SaaS) or will there be an open source (or open core) version?
rickette··on Reflex – Web apps in pure Python
Do aquihires go for that kind of money? I expect these to be much much lower.
rickette··on Show HN: Local development with .local domains and HTTPS
Can recommend https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert for this purpose (local development certs).
rickette··on The Gorilla web toolkit project has a new group of Core Maintainers
Switched from Gorilla Mux to Chi but still happy to see this going forward. There are so many projects out there that depend on Gorilla Mux and utils
rickette··on AWS Begins Charging for Public IPv4 Addresses
Kind of blown away that IPs were still free on AWS.

I'm using mostly Google Cloud and Azure the past few years and as the article mentions, they already charge for IPs.

rickette··on Google tests A.I. tool that is able to write news articles
Painfully accurate
rickette··on Yelp rebuilds corrupted Cassandra cluster using its data streaming architecture
Can recommend https://cassandra-reaper.io/ for most of the management stuff you're mentioning. Still not free though, running Cassandra requires (some) effort in my experience.
rickette··on PostgreSQL: No More Vacuum, No More Bloat
The article contains a link with the rather curious title "10 things that Richard Branson hates about PostgreSQL".... Turns out the guy who wrote that blog is called Rick Branson, not Richard.
rickette··on Official Mastodon server of the Dutch government
503, hugged to death.
rickette··on Cloud Backed SQLite
It looks really promising, would also love to know the status of this. Can't find any announcements of this yet.
rickette··on Ask HN: Cheap “Heroku Workers” Alternatives?
Cloud Run Jobs https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/jobs/create-ex... would come to mind. Managed Docker containers that run as jobs to completion.
rickette··on Keycloak – Open-source identity and access management interview
The website/docs are in Chinese. This will be a major blocker for folks outside that region.
