EJB, Spring, Ant, Struts (I'm getting old - Like Hot Java Alpha 3 and Java applets old), maven, pom files, etc.

I used to love Java but the complexity merchants showed up and ruined the party. 1.5 was just coming out when I stopped doing Java dev. Kotlin might pull me back into the fold though for when I can't use Go.

This came out too close to April 1 for me to know if it was real or not :).

I do like the idea of local/on device llms so it's interesting and will keep an eye on it.

Just a note, if you do leetcode questions in your interviews (you might call them data structures and algorithms) I am not interested.

I do not do well on them. Case in point I just finished an interview where I ran out of time computing the mode of an array - something I was unfamiliar with. It's not that I couldn't have figured it out but the time pressure got to me and it went downhill from there - we ran out of time for the second part of the interview (I will also say we probably spent to long on the intros part making the time pressure even worse).

It doesn't mean I don't know how to write software, something I've been doing for almost 45 years!

It's purely personal, but my body really seems to prefer daylight savings. I always have very rough and fluctuating sleep schedules during the winter. They seem to go away after the spring ahead (it could just be the longer daylight hours that become more apparent during spring). Greetings from Mission!

If you read through the BBC post, it alludes to passing confidential trade documents to Epstein... but of course that's probably because he was being blackmailed by Epstein for f*cking under age girls.

It's down for me too... I tried a subreddit and it says that it doesn't exist :-/

Is that per person or for the 5 people? No if per person if the minimum commit is 30 days (300/Night is not too bad, but for a week to 10 days at a time, not the month). If for all 5 then yes, it might make sense for retreats.

I DO wish there a business focused resort with meeting rooms, workspaces, good connectivity and AV, etc. Suites with meeting space for smaller groups/after hours meetings and some amenities for after hours (eg pool, golf, gym, etc).

EDIT: My house is paid for, so I am not really the target demographic :)

It could be that Gen 3 shipping late 2026 is a concession that R2 might be delayed until then.

Personally I think they will ship R2 Gen 2 vehicles to the early adopters that are less concerned with ADAS.

My R2 reservation is very late (I had to redo it for reasons) so I probably won't be able to order one until it's available anyways.

sqlite is just a library (in C)

A few projects:

  * https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite Distributed, fault tolerant cluster
  * https://litestream.io/ Replication to S3 (or compatible) - more disaster recovery than fail over
  * https://fly.io/docs/litefs/ Same Author as litestream).  Distributed replication.  Requires writes to be redirected to the primary.

I am debating Postgres vs sqlite (probably with litestream) for a project right now.

And other than HW redundancy, I can get pretty far by scaling vertically on a single box. And for my app, I could probably (and my users!) live with some occasional downtime (as long as the data is replicated/backed up).

If I get 20-50K users, it'll be a successful venture so I don't need much these days and it will be cheaper and easier to run as well.

When we were at Spirit Halloween last week I saw some building blocks like drops and swinging mechanisms for DIY.

I just checked his site today like I do every few days. He just got back from DragonCon, complaining of a flu bug he caught sometime during his trip. He signed off his last post, "Bye for now". I will miss him and his writing.
