As a bit of an observation - the horses went viral on tumblr, bluesky and to a lesser extent facebook and instagram and smaller pages at different days, so I could observe how the drawing style and content changes:

- Most beautiful horses and least penises were drawn by tumblr users. Maybe because they've drawn a lot of penises before and got it out of their system : )

- Most penises: HN (but I guess it's my fault for saying there is a filter) followed by b3ta.com and twitter

- Most swastikas: twitter and, somehow, HN.

- Most generous buymeacoffee supporters: tumblr

- Most unexpected source of traffic: substack

- Hardest slashdot effect: bluesky

d0100 commented on The challenges of soft delete   atlas9.dev/blog/soft-dele... · Posted by u/buchanae

At Firezone we started with soft-deletes thinking it might be useful for an audit / compliance log and quickly ran into each of the problems described in this article. The real issue for us was migrations - having to maintain structure of deleted data alongside live data just didn't make sense, and undermined the point of an immutable audit trail.

We've switched to CDC using Postgres which emits into another (non-replicated) write-optimized table. The replication connection maintains a 'subject' variable to provide audit context for each INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. So far, CDC has worked very well for us in this manner (Elixir / Postgrex).

I do think soft-deletes have their place in this world, maybe for user-facing "restore deleted" features. I don't think compliance or audit trails are the right place for them however.

In simple projects where database is only changed via an API, we just audit the API instead. It's easier to display and easier to store than tracking each DB change a single transaction does

My gf manages to get paid using Cursor/Copilot, despite not being able to branch herself out of a loop

In my experience Copilots work expertly at CRUD'ing inside a well structured project, and for MVPs in languages you aren't an expert on (Rust, C/C++ in my case)

The biggest demerit is that agents are increasingly trying to be "smart" and using powershell search/replace or writing scripts to skimp on tokens, with results that make me unreasonably angry

I tried adding i18n to an old react project, and copilot used all my credits + 10 USD because it kept shitting everything up with its maddening, idiotic use if search replace

If it had simply ingested each file and modified them only once, it would have been cheaper

As you can tell, I am still salty about it

I understand enough about these systems to know they’re not perfect but I agree some people might be misled.

But I don’t know if I should be denied access because of those people.

I just had a deja vu, I'm sure I read this some months ago

Did you previously write this exact comment before?

Interesting and I haven't tried it yet.

But the "Usage Guidelines" part of the "License" section at the end of the README says: "License required for: Commercial embedding in products you sell or offering Mantic as a hosted service."

This is not completely true, since it seems that the software is licensed under AGPLv3, which of course allow the use of the software for any purpose, even commercial.

Its also small enough that a simple "Claude, migrate to Rust" would work to succesfully launder all the code

Definitely feels like a Claude wrapped with a lot of marketing. But you’d think there must be something more if Meta acquired them…

Ok, I guess we’re in a bubble.

Manus is pretty "big" in the entrepreneur crowd here in Brazil

When it came out is was very good, and had much better results than ChatGPT

You're not doing it wrong.

For most CRUD apps, Next.js + tRPC is the right call.

My tipping point was long-running tasks (OCR, AI processing that takes 30+ seconds) and wanting to scale backend compute separately from frontend serving.

If you don't have those needs, stick with what you have.

dbos.dev should take care of long-running tasks, but I haven't tried running too many tasks yet as my other bigger projects all use Temporal

And what do we do for the children who have parents who fail them. How do we even detect it in time to help those children?

is there any technical reason why us accounts might be identified as foreign or is this really a foreign play or us people hiring ppl outside the country
d0100 · 3 months ago
Maybe most of these accounts are managed by a offshore'd social media company?
