40 million flights is big data? That’s a decently sized PostgreSQL database to me.

Yes, I meant this K3s as it's trivial to deploy and quite mature by now.

Starship is mostly funded by Starlink and uses iterative development. Your comment is a bit ignorant and unnecessarily hostile.

Nowadays K3s is worth the small learning curve with a big payoff as you get a lot of automation included / by installing an operator :-)

Experienced developers know it’s the small subtleties, the API, the bugfixes, the docs and (community) support that makes software valuable.
The tech itself is usually not mindblowing.

Can second this, it’s premature optimization. The real problem is usually having no easy and reliable way to migrate data / apply schema changes.

It would detect number spoofing. Spoofing is easy, hacking phones is hard(er).

For some people, but most people are very easily trackable using IPv4 + user agent. There are even better JS fingerprints that don’t use your IP.

How can anyone believe law enforcement would catch more criminals by having more data if they’re understaffed already?
rijx | 2 years ago | on: We Are Doomed: A pessimistic point of view of "modern software engineering"
I respectfully disagree. I’ve passed the same thoughts back and forth in my mind before, but it’s mostly nostalgia.
Yes, some tools were much snappier on much crappier hardware, but they also lacked features, including safety and collaborative ones.
We have so many more people using computer devices and the internet now. We have to account for them to some extent and a lot of libraries do that for us, but it does make them heavier.
I’d say yes software has gotten fat and slow in a lot places, but also immensely more capable and more reusable.

That reminds me of SpaceX saying the most reliable part is no part at all!

rijx | 2 years ago | on: Normal Operating Sounds
Would you have delayed the first release to tackle these sounds? If so, any day not shipping products is a day closer to going bankrupt.
If you "fix" these sounds in v2, then you'll still need to explain them in the manual for v1 owners.
Ultimately it's not really a bug. People aren't used to cars being so quiet so some minor new sounds suddenly stand out.
