Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence.
The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good.
I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.
I've never understood how getting rid of all the good people in governing was ever going to help anyone

Fantastic article on convention. Serverless vs AWS CDK

Sora is much closer to pulling off the prompt "someone playing a winning card in magic the gathering, close up on the board state as the card is played"
Interestingly, it makes up a card name and shows that fake card (in appropriate colors). Lots of little weirdness, but closer.

These are awesome. Thanks for posting here π

"Dev'ing in Drupal" is entirely form (UI) based, you'd still probably hate it
Professionals just use their real name these days. I use my IRC handle. If you're both I think you need 2 identities/accounts. Or you can just be professional for payment irl, and online for the same sake as IRC (conversation among other coders even if they're "real-name public professionals")
Giving just a quick glance this doesn't look like a bug in any of the software, it just looks like they have to do what the OP is doing here, and turn off checksum offloading (telling the physical NIC to handle it) depending on the kernel version (old ones ignore bad checksum, and things "work")
Yeah to be honest it's a bit over my head but my impression is that all three issues were actually directly caused by the Ubuntu changes
I think no, that it was about the Ubuntu upgrade and a kernel UDP checksum handling change. I think the kernel after the upgrade started dropping un-checksummed packets reaching the virtual interface that it had allowed before.
"Set containerd to use systemd to manage cgroups instead of the default cgroupfs on worker nodes only. Disable IP checksum offloading as it can cause issues with flannelβs UDP packets."
That is an absolutely insane set of things to have to do that no one would ever figure out π³
Imagine the beauty of a programming language that has its own DSL to learn for every single library and configuration of that library. That beautiful, hip cool world is called: Scala
I've always found that one of the most effective backdoors starts when making the motion of going for a handoff
Wow, TIL that LISTEN/NOTIFY in Postgres requires a global lock when committing transactions issuing a NOTIFY. Consider listening to the WAL via logical replication as an alternative with no impact on the write path.

Ha, yeah, turns out it was on the load gen side indeed. It was running out of connections. Using HTTP2 mitigates it (via pipelining), which I got reminded of reading the docs of... Hyperfoil ;) Is the project alive? Saw the last post is from a few years back.
every time you think "maybe I should add a layer of caching in the application", take that energy and make the database faster instead
The correct answer is either. Transaction B gets a snapshot that may or may not include the changes from A.
SI does not provide real time guarantees. If you need that, you need Strict Serializability, which guarantees that transactions are ordered in real time.
Why do we even use caches? Caches solve one important problem: providing pre-computed data at insanely low latencies, compared to databases. I am talking about typical use cases where we use a cache along with the db (cache aside pattern), where the application always talks with cache and database, tries to keep the cache up to date with the db. There are other patterns where cache itself talks with DBs, but I think this is the more common pattern where application talks to both cache and database.
Published a new blog post: Replacing a Cache Service with a Database
We already use databases, why can't we use them to replace caches as well? Will we ever replace caches entirely with databases? In this post, I will share some ideas, & discuss how we are moving toward this

I've always considered denormalization as caching in a database. In that sense, document databases are basically more on-disk cache systems that support advanced scanning and patching
