Yup, it's great, at least for live action content. I've found that for Anime, a small amount of motion interpolation is absolutely needed on my OLED, otherwise the content has horrible judder.
I always found that weird, anime relies on motion blur for smoothness when panning / scrolling motion interpolation works as an upgraded version of that... until it starts to interpolate actual animation
Also not like logging setups outside of k8s can't be a horror show too. Like, have you ever had to troubleshoot a rsyslog based ELK setup? I'll forever have nightmares from debugging RainerScript mixed with the declarative config and having to read the source code to find out why all of our logs were getting dropped in the middle of the night.
Am I in the minority when I actually like those AI features on GitHub? The ability to interrogate any open source codebase is __amazing__, this feature alone has saved me days of work/research. The AI code reviews are nothing to write home about, but occasionally catch stuff that I would've missed, a net benefit for me. I don't really get all the outrage... Sure, having an "Ask AI" Clippy-like thing in your face everywhere gets old quick, but at least on GitHub I find it non-obtrusive and often actually useful.
...you can just clone the repository and do that interrogation locally with the AI tool of your choice.
Every single application or webpage having its own AI integration is seriously one of the dumbest ideas in computing history (instead of separating applications and AI tools and let them work together via standardized interfaces).
It really is. I've been using Revanced to patch out the Shorts feature on my phone, works decently well, but I'm technically violating the ToS with that, despite shelling out 15€/month for it. Obnoxious.
I tried implementing a Matrix bot a few months back, and it was an absolutely miserable experience, since Device Verification/E2EE was not working with any of the available open source Python implementations I found.
I then stumbled upon their internal Rust SDK[1] that they use for Element X, which is actually quite nice, and even has FFI bindings for Python and Kotlin[2]. Unfortunately the documentation was really lacking at the time. I managed to put something together with the help of an LLM and the source code and examples to find my way around the various APIs, and it actually works with emoji verification and E2EE (although there are weird bugs around synchronization, but that's probably just an API misuse on my end).
It seems they've improved the documentation since and even provide a reference client[3] to see how things work.
100% this. Sometimes it's not even the filer itself. `hard` NFS mounts on clients in combination with network issues have led to downtimes where I work. Soft mounts can be a solution for read only workloads that have other means of fault tolerance in front of them, but it's not a panacea.
I haven’t seen these problems at much larger scales than are being discussed here. I’ve heard of people buying crappy nfs filers or trying to use the Linux server in prod (it doesn’t support HA!), but I’ve also heard of people losing data when they install a key value store or consensus protocol on < 3 machines.
The only counterexample involved a buggy RHEL-backported NFS client that liked to deadlock, and that couldn’t be upgraded for… reasons.
Client bugs that force a single machine/process restart can happen with any network protocol.
Does anybody remember Cocoon? It was an XSLT Web Framework that built upon Spring. It was pretty neat, you could do the stuff XSLT was great at with stylesheets that were mapped to HTTP routes, and it was very easy to extend it with custom functions and supporting Java code to do the stuff it wasn't really great at. Though I must say that as the XSLT stylesheets grew in complexity, they got *really* hard to understand, especially compared to something like a Jinja template.
Yes! In the mid 00's, two places I worked (major US universities) used Cocoon heavily. It was a good fit for reporting systems that had to generate multiple output formats, such as HTML and PDF.
As somebody traveling with small children, what's even more frustrating is that AirBnB seems to have a tag "Well reviewed by families", but refuses to allow you to search for it. Which means using more indirect filters (like "has a baby bed") and clicking through dozens of listings to find one with that tag.
I get why they do it (looking at more listing is great for them), but I feel like they're wasting my time and it sucks, researching holidays is a frustrating timesink as it is, and they make it worse.
It's funny, because I remember the early days of Jepsen, and it relied heavily on memes (the whole name is based on "call me maybe"/carly rae jepsen) and aphyr wasn't (and still isn't) shy about his colorful real life personality :-)
