I love this comment.
So basically you built an estimation wrapper ready to use - without any guarantees whatsoever? Someones still needs to double-check?

why is that different than other LLMs

If the AI miscalculates, and building crashes and people die - who is held responsible?

Typescript with strict types and ultra-tight eslint config can give Rust a run for its money.
Re:Removing fsync from our local storage engine on Saturday May 09, 2026 @01:47PM (#48076785)
So instead of saying "We removed fsync" you should say: "We redesigned the database write path to avoid paying the full fsync durability cost on every write"
Can't remember when I last heard TOCTOU term being used. Nice :)

I also asked what happens when a power loss happens.
Re:Removing fsync from our local storage engine on Saturday May 09, 2026 @12:56PM (#48076380)
So basically, you are writing data without guarantees it's actually written? "YOLO mode" but for data written to a device?

Would you be so kind to explain what happens in a power-loss scenario?

Why does everyone feel the need to reinvent the wheel every few days?
Too little too late. I've already fully migrated to Fedora 43.

Thank you for this detailed writeup. If it's not a secret - what is your monthly ballpark figure. I'm planning to deploy an instance during the weekend, for light - medium usage. Can't gauge costs.
Re:Is anyone actually using OpenClaw? on Thursday April 16, 2026 @07:16AM (#47791433)
Can I tag along to the main question and ask - what are some good OpenClaw guides or plugin/skill collections that you think are must-use?

So much AI generated bullshit online, it's really hard to find good guides from bad ones.

When I saw most of the games I play work perfectly on linux, and that emulator support is even better - I swapped my RTX3090 for 9070XT and installed Fedora 43.
Just finished my first tauri app. Was suprised at long windows build took. I'll defo give this a go
Only stripe?

You mean a ponzi scheme, right?

Working with banks and payment processors during a 15-year period, I can with 1.000% certainty say - no sane Bank will touch this with a 10-foot pole.

Not now, not in 20 years.

Re:The Untold Impact of Cancellation on Friday August 01, 2025 @08:46AM (#44755988)
I've followed the initial controversy when it began. Changed my view on cancellations forever.

A really sad story, but also a cautionary tale.

What a great idea - let's combine one of the worst languages ever invented with database backend which wasn't ever meant to be used as a "processing engine"

You do know that EXIF exists?
And I, for one, welcome our new AI MCP overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground datacenters.

How is this related to FOSS licensing? :)
Re:German Devs Strip Faker.js Creator from License – I'm Suing on Saturday February 22, 2025 @07:32AM (#43138421)
You are aware that none of the things you wrote are even tangentially related to how FOSS licensing works, right?
