How to lose community trust 101. MinIO cannot be trusted for any open source project anymore. It's a shame.


This is the kind of pragmatic AI hack I want to see. It feels like sometimes we are forgetting why certain tooling even exists. To simplify things! No fancy vector DBs or complex architectures, just practical integration with existing data sources. Love it.


Looking at the regional impact (40% SK, 15% Vietnam), you can see how internet topology creates these concentrated failure zones. We've had to work around these when designing different region interconnects at a previous life.


And? At this point they can do and admit anything they want and no one would do anything about it. We have seen it again and again. Western governmental bodies don't care about eastern human life.


The post touches the Rust and Go topic in header 3.


Well, some of those reasonings are only true when asphalt is not layed and maintained properly. The same argument can easily be made for cobble stones. Have you ever seen a cobble stone road that is not maintained properly? Oh my… I invite the author to travel to a not so developed country.

I agree on the conclusion, though, in an ideal world that both infrastracture is maintained perfectly, they should both be used in a city. Perfect example? Amsterdam.


Even when it's a reasonably developed country (Italy) and when they are spanking new cobblestones can get slippery when it rains, they are noisier, and they are absolutely horrible on a road bike.


> Have you ever seen a cobble stone road that is not maintained properly?

My favorite is poorly maintained asphalt over cobblestones (which may or may not habe been poorly laid themselves)


Possibly the impact of extremely low interest rates for so long (Thanks FED). I would expect it to fade away slowly since the behavioral changes need time.


Vanguard talks about this in terms of “return of sound money” in their 2024 outlook: https://advisors.vanguard.com/insights/article/vanguards-eco...


I feel like it's grocery prices..

We are a family of 6. Our grocery budget is consistently between $2500-$3000 a month.

We shop at Aldi.


While I suspect that your budget could probably be tightened up a bit, I have to say that I'm ever glad I never wanted to have children - just keeping my own ass housed, fed, and health-insured (important for someone with a bit of disability) takes about everything I got.

There was another story here this morning that got some discussion about how people are omitting children as a way of finding work-life balance; who can blame them?

Could you link the story? - e: looks like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39259093


Can you explain this to me in even a rough estimate?

My family of 4 spends $900 a month, and we do NOT price shop. I live in the metroplitan area of a major city, do NOT shop at discount stores, and even have higher meat bills due to religious reasons. We waste very little, I should add, and buy almost all name brand goods.


There are vast differences in how much people eat. Males between 12-25 tend to eat a lot more than girls - hormones mean they can burn a lot of calories without gaining weight - and they are also more likely to be in activities that use a lot of energy (I don't know why this is, but it seems to be the case) Babies of course eat very little.

I can believe both numbers just based on normal genetic variation.


I expect my food bill to go up around 50% once my boys hit their teens, but still, that only puts me at around half the monthly spend of OP


Where are you at? My family of 6 usually spends on the order of 1000$ a month for local grass-fed meat and groceries at Costco


Per year? Thats pretty reasonable I'd say.


A month.


Thats stupid insanely high and hilariously out of line w/ normal consumption

Choosing a very high COL area (Westchester), the expected food costs for a family of 6 is 1.7k according to the EPI


Buying fresh everything?

Real food? Not 100 boxes of Hamburger Helper with a shelf life of 6 years for $100.


Yes, fresh food in bulk is cheaper than hamburger helper. I lived on $190 a month on veggies and eggs when I was poor as hell in 2015. I just bought everything in bulk.


A week? Seems high.


It's high for shopping at Aldi...

But as an individual I'm probably spending 500-600/mo between Publix and Food Lion...so it kind of tracks.


Only if we return to higher rates of interest fr a long period. Here in the UK the desire seems to be to return inflation and interest rates to approx 2%. Rates of 2% and inflation of 2% means there is little incentive to save.


How are they going to control both at the same time. Govt underwriting high risk retail loans, quantitative tightening?


The theory is that high interest rates will bring inflation down - once they are down the market is already predicting that rates will drop to 2% - so the era of cheap money will continue...

It seems to be working, but no better here than it is on the continent and USA, where inflation is already lower.


It works like charm! I love sidekiq. It powers Microsoft’s one of the biggest database management services controlplane. It can easily handle hundreds of thousands of operations with a proper deployment.


> It powers Microsoft’s one of the biggest database management services controlplane.

Really? Where can I read more about it?


There are no blog posts on the controlplane side, so I cannot really share any reading materials with you. Thanks to the NDA, I cannot really share the product’s name as well. However, considering the nature of sidekiq with ruby + postgresql, you might guess which of the products is powered by sidekiq :)


I think they mean github
