This is what happens when there's no effective opposition. Where are the dems? Where's the press?

This. I've reported scammers so many times in Facebook, it's so obvious but obviously it's not a priority for them.

Oh man Visual Assist. Was it whole tomato software or something like that? It was amazing back in the day!

Or alternatively, why would SQLite be not as performant as Redis in embedded context?

Apart from legacy projects written in Kotlin, after Java 21/23, what's the argument for using Kotlin anymore, especially that it's a proprietary language?

That also created the biggest singular transfer of wealth. So your argument is that the peasants are no longer starving and well fed. If that's the ambition level you're happy to live by then there's no further comment.

Ask HN: Where's the GitHub for Database Schemas?

twen_ty — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:21:37 +0000

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have a standard place where people could share database designs and build up a collection of well designed, well tested database designs?

Many years ago I remember there was a UK based site where some DBA would curate lots of standard schemas but I can't find it now.

What is low code anyway in 2024?

For example, is AWS Amplify or Firebase low code?

So it's 2024 and Linux still doesn't have what Windows NT had 30 years ago?

Exactly. Came here to say the same thing. I live in zone 2 and I'd say that majority of the households don't own a car because they don't need one. We only got a car after we had kids and used to Uber around when we needed a car, a lot cheaper than full time car ownership.

Can someone tell me what's the advantage of eBPF over a user mode driver? The article makes it look it eBPF is have your cake and eat it too solution which is too good to be true? Can you run graphics drivers in eBPF for example?

Peak HN right here. Top comment is on semantics but not on the original content.

Young me would've seen this as an astounding feat of engineering.

Old old me sees this as something to be scared of.

That would ultimately mean lesser litigation and lawyers. Sounds like a very commie thing to say.
