i don't see how, enter my email and received a welcome email instead of a book.
I downloaded a copy of a movie I had previously purchased yesterday. Claude helped me remux it so I could play it on my TV. Will the FBI be knocking on my door tomorrow?

yeah, a this rate, we can assume all digital information will be public at some point.

in this case medium is relative to the projects I've worked. Bad expression anyway.

I threw 1M tokens for nothing in a medium codebase.
Re:Why is Google still serving dodgy ads? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @02:32PM (#49687143)
I’d love to know how much Google has made from accidental clicks since it started. I used to see my mum make a couple of mistaken clicks here and there on her computer; now on mobile it’s easily 10x worse. Sometimes because she doesn’t realize they’re ads, other times she tries to tap the X and it opens… It’s insane

good move, has sense.
Re:Every Millisecond Counts on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @06:53PM (#49635729)
Good post, thanks for sharing. I discovered CH around 2018, and I knew it would change the analytics space. I spent countless hours studying it on my own and promoting it at work (when it made sense). I also tried to land a job at companies using it, but nothing happened :(.

I still check the monthly changelog, even though I do quite different things at work these days.

How I miss those NET stocks picked up at about 15$ after Covid…what a fail…

Re:Does anyone run Postgres without PgBouncer? on Monday August 17, 2026 @04:15AM (#49327794)
I do. I run Postgres in the same server as the app in some apps, with no pgbouncer, no regret at all after 10+ years.
Re:Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion on Friday July 31, 2026 @06:25PM (#49129221)
How are you folks handling secrets in a simple way?

- sops , ansible vault and similar seems too weak given the agent is gonna read them at some point if you have the pass available. - proxy injection seems too complicated and doesn’t cover all use cases.

It's not clear to me whether this is being done with genuinely good intentions, or if it's just a way to put barriers in front of open-source models. We'll see.
i highly doubt you can make it faster than clickhouse, but happy to see it.
This is not my case. Today Claude code coded three features in my client saas just perfectly. Medium complex ones but perfectly from the plan, tests, linter and pr. A good CLAUDE.md is enough. Skills for auxiliary tools like sentry, grafana…
This is the kind of proyect would be a “wow” a year ago and “oh it’s nice” now.
too slow or broker right now
Re:In praise of memcached on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @05:52AM (#48642618)
WHEN do you move to Redis/Memcached? None of my projects have exceeded 1000 rps at peak, and in none of them have I felt the need to move from unlogged PostgreSQL tables to Redis.

Just trying to get a sense of where people draw the line.

Re:The minimum viable unit of saleable software on Sunday June 21, 2026 @03:37PM (#48621900)
Brandur of course knows more than me, and his framing sounds correct. I would be worried about whether the TAM of Go + Postgres is enough for business sustainability, but that says probably more about my fears than the reality in this huge market called “internet”

Re:Ten years of ClickHouse in open source on Friday June 19, 2026 @12:09PM (#48600151)
Actually, there was no search, only on-the-fly aggregations/filtering over "big data". ES was kind of famous at the time, although not the best tool for that job.

afaik CH introduced FTS rececently.

Re:Ten years of ClickHouse in open source on Friday June 19, 2026 @06:39AM (#48597041)
I discovered ClickHouse around 2017-18 and built a PoC to replace Elasticsearch: 5x better storage and qps, in a couple of weeks.

Managers rejected it because it wasn't well known and was seen as "some database made by Russians."

On a personal level, it's quite sad to have seen that train coming so early and not been able to get on board.

No benchmarks, no pricing, no examples..
Re:Running local models is good now on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @12:32PM (#48557882)
really want to try local models, but I don't have the hardware yet. Probably I'm the only one here still using a Mac Mini m1 8gb 2020. :/
