Parsing works the same but is based on a simple regex rather than splitting on a hyphen.
euc=eu central; 1=zone/dc; p=production; wkr=worker; 1=node id
We don’t have such bursty requirements fortunately so I have not needed to automate this.
There is a surprisingly easy way to address this issue: use (ridiculously cheap) Hetzner metal machines as nodes. The ones with nvme storage offer excellent performance for dbs and often have generous amounts of RAM. I'd go as far as to say you'd be better off to invest in two or more beefy bare metal machines for a master-replica(s) setup rather than run the db on k8s.
If you don't want to be bothered with the setup, you can use one of many modern packages such as Pigsty: https://pigsty.cc/ (not affiliated but a huge fan).
It depends what you are looking for honestly “the latest things happening” is pretty vague. I’d say the place to look is probably just the blogs of OpenAI/Anthropic/Genini, since they are the only teams with inside information and novel findings to report. Everyone else is just using the tools we are given.
I have heard more comprehensive “leave the thinking to us” tools like cursor give better results.
Personally I think if your tools or projects are so dull that you require an AI to use them, perhaps you need sharper tools or more interesting projects.
This is really sad. Suchir was just 26, and graduated from Berkeley 3 years ago.
Here’s his personal site: https://suchir.net/.
I think he was pretty brave for standing up against what is generally perceived as an injustice being done by one of the biggest companies in the world, just a few years out of college. I’m not sure how many people in his position would do the same.
I’m sorry for his family. He was clearly a talented engineer. On his LinkedIn he has some competitive programming prizes which are impressive too. He probably had a HN account.
Before others post about the definition of whistleblower or talk about assassination theories just pause to consider whether, if in his position, you would that want that to be written about you or a friend.
