Re:PostgreSQL for Everything on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @12:59PM (#49364132)
For "replacing your microservice" you should checkout PostgREST. It basically turns PostgreSQL into a microservice.
If it creates long term value, is it truly the wrong tool?

Perhaps we should re-evaluate how and when we use things when presented with evidence that others are getting massive value out of tools we typically would have been biased against.

Is this a personal or business decision you are talking about?

Can you elaborate the cons that made you decide to move away from Python, C++, and Julia?

Julia makes sense to me, as the youngest production language and community.

But Python? It is the #1 most popular programming language globally. C++ is also very popular. This means you can easily find people to hire globally (making business easier and more economical). You can also easily find code doing almost anything you want---speeding up time to value and time to ship.

I'm wondering what cons are driving your decisions to move on from Python and C++?

Re:Tell HN: I interviewed my dad before he died on Thursday August 04, 2022 @06:48PM (#32349289)
I used Artifact to do this with my grandfather. Recorded his stories and voice for posterity as a series of podcasts basically with a professional interviewer and recording team.
Have you considered other forms of financial literacy?

For example, many people don't use credit cards properly.

Many people don't take advantage of lower interest loans.

Many people don't understand the importance of certain forms of permanent / life / disability insurance.

These are all things I hope my kids get to learn _before leaving high school_!

Your tool feels like it could really expand financial literacy across the board, not just for investments.

Not sure if this is close to the problems you want to study, but NASA applied Deep learning to anomaly detection on spacecraft telemetry and has some early results here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.04431.pdf

I'm very interested in anomaly detection problems, so if you find anything good out there do comment back in!

One could run every tab / sub-process within a container with its own networking stack.

It is complex, but doable.

I think what the others are getting at is it's more like the US market is competing now with cheaper labor markets.

But I understand what you're saying.

Hey this sounds a lot like Cloudlets / edge computing! Really happy to see some real world applications out there: http://elijah.cs.cmu.edu/
The Minix OS was designed as an academic, teaching OS: https://www.minix3.org/

There is a textbook that goes along with it: https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Tanenbau...

The author famously had interactions with Linus Torvalds when he was starting Linux!

And, Minix is inside every modern Intel CPU (https://www.zdnet.com/article/minix-intels-hidden-in-chip-op...).

Re:Mounting partitions from a dd image on Wednesday May 09, 2018 @04:45PM (#17033909)
You can directly expose the partitions using the tool `kpartx`, which will create a `loop` device for you:

  > sudo kpartx -a test.raw
  > lsblk
  NAME      MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
  loop0       7:0    0     4G  0 loop
  └─loop0p1 253:0    0     4G  0 part
  > sudo kpartx -d test.raw
Mac OS?
Re:CMU CS 15-883: Computational Models of Neural Systems on Monday April 24, 2017 @09:30AM (#14184123)
Hey if you see the course website is from 2015. And this is a bit of an older course, so I think it's understandable.

I think the surprising thing is such a high quality resource was being put together so long ago :-)

Re:Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils on Tuesday March 22, 2016 @12:50PM (#11337856)
I don't understand why you need an IDE, I believe Rust is simple enough that you can work on things in Notepad++ or Vim or Emacs.
Re:Introducing iSCSI over TLS on Tuesday March 08, 2016 @02:47PM (#11247961)
Are you really the first to use TLS in securing the storage fabric?

I believe Seagate's Kinetic had TLS features quite awhile ago: http://www.seagate.com/tech-insights/kinetic-vision-how-seag...

Both of which are reminiscent of CMU's NASD research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-Attached_Secure_Disks

New things that are really cool from Blockbridge:

1. Opening up WAN access to storage devices via TLS

2. Kernel drivers (for all major OS's?) allowing storage devices over the WAN

3. Re-imagining how we access block devices

Opens up the possibility for EBS-like storage across the WAN which is, simply, amazing.

Re:Perforce introduces GitSwarm on Tuesday October 06, 2015 @12:04PM (#10339855)
I see. I understand the problem they're solving now.

Bringing Git + more agile development flows into the Enterprise.

Re:Perforce introduces GitSwarm on Tuesday October 06, 2015 @12:03PM (#10339847)
Oh I see, so this might be an "Enterprise in" and that's the "key feature." Not that I should expect a lot more on top of Git + GitLab that isn't already there.
Re:Perforce introduces GitSwarm on Tuesday October 06, 2015 @11:55AM (#10339758)
Update: They do cite GitLab. Now I guess my confusion as a GitLab user is they don't sell me on what is new/differentiate their customized offering.

This product looks like a poorly rebranded GitLab.

Why don't they cite GitLab as the front-end web application/real workhorse here?
