The LLMs are nice because they are not yet enshitified to the point of uselessness.
I just assumed they were still there based on momentum.
Just waiting for them to want their money out and then I am stuck deep in a product fast headed for enshitifaction or abandonment when it fails to make a billion dollars in 2 years.
I do not know what unholy monkey patching they do with that sentry_sdk.init call and I try not to think about it but for web apps it is fire and forget.
That is the crux, rarely is it a service being scraped that they paid for
His content doesn't have the journalistic quality that feels like he is going out and digging for stories etc. The content is given to him by companies and he chooses to showcase what he is given.
There is not really anything wrong with that either but I don't expect any real scoops to come from his channel.
Android and the like will just link you directly to the settings and most peoples computer now a days is a phone, not a laptop.
Likely someone with lawyers could get that lowered to nothing and as a layman that feels like a feature not a bug.
Large software companies seem to enjoy passing the buck in recent years if it might impact their profitability which is fine but to say the could not do anything about it incorrect. It may not be feasible to do so an still operate the service but that doesnt mean it isnt possible.
I think Rust is better divorced from Mozilla, and Go would be better if it was divorced a bit from Google for a lot of the same reasons.
(note that I don't necessarily agree but that statement is loaded)
Python, Postgres, Rust..
A small amount of core contributors doesn't mean they all have to come from a single corporate entity either.
The notion that only Google could shepherd a programming language is hilarious.
In the time since those problems have been solved and now are offered as a service by most cloud providers (for a hefty fee of course)
I have been looking for a DB client for postgres that seems to match the correct amount of features and interface that phpmyadmin has.
Not really a fan of pgadmin, I just find the interface to be too clunky.
- It works pretty well, at least up to the 15B objects I am using it for. Running on 2 machines with about 300TB, (500 raw) storage on each.
- The documentation, specifically with regards to operations like how to backup things, or different failure modes of the components can be sparse.
- One example of the above is I spun up a second filer instance (which is supposed to sync automatically) which caused the master server to emit an error while it was syncing. The only way to know if it was working was watching the new filers storage slowly grow.
- Seaweed has a pretty high bus factor, though the dev is pretty responsive and seems to accept PRs at a steady rate.
