- dpeduInitial setup is rarely the hard part of any technology.
- This is my gripe with Postgres as well. Every time I see comments extolling the greatness of Postgres, I can't help but think "ah, that's a user, not a system administrator" and I think that's a completely fair judgement. Postgres is pretty great if you don't have to take care of it.
- Is the code behind this available?
- These are all pretty bad! I'm not on liquid glass yet, and am not looking forward to it. I'm actually a fan of the "reduce transparency" accessibility option. Hopefully it's sill available.
The weirdest issue I've ran into is on the sound settings page. Sometimes, the first column of the list of audio devices is super narrow, and since you can't drag it bigger, you can only see the first couple characters of each audio device's name, and have to guess which is the one you want.
... but if I open system preferences normally (via spotlight or apple menu) it doesn't happen. It only happens if I use the keyboard shortcut (option + any of the 3 volume keys)! I cannot imagine what kind of spaghetti code could be behind something like this. Clicking to another section and back to the sound section fixes it but... Very weird.
- I have not tried either myself, but I wanted to mention that Versity S3 Gateway looks good too.

I am also curious how Ceph S3 gateway compares to all of these.
- The MacOs settings redesign really bothered me too. Maybe it's the 20+ years of muscle memory, or maybe the new one really is that bad, but I find myself clicking around excessively and eventually giving up and using search. I'm with you here.
- I used to have a similar dumb one (Roomba 860 if memory serves) and it would take the same path over and over again in certain corners of my house, which meant my carpet ended up with unsightly wheel tracks on it from the repetition. I don't think it did a very good job vacuuming either, no matter how much it ran, a normal vacuum would always pull a boatload more crud up.
It's an interesting idea but it just didn't work for me and I wouldn't consider buying another.
- I was doing something similar just the other day and came across sqlite-s3vfs[0]. It is likewise a SQLite VFS that translates IO to S3 api calls. However, that project is only for python and seemingly abandoned. Additionally, if you want more than one writer, you'd have to coordinate that yourself, afaik.
- If the LLMs of today can even produce a sizable C program that compiles, doesn't leak memory, doesn't exhibit UB, doesn't have any obvious vulnerabilities, and is correct, I would be astounded.
- My company (Matterport, YC Winter '12) uses it to store metadata about 3d models. I really don't have that much to say about it because it's not my primary area of focus, and besides that, has been extremely reliable and hands-off, administration-wise. I particularly love that you can change redundancy modes on the fly, for example those listed here[1], and FDB will automatically re-arrange data to your liking, all without downtime. It handles offline/missing or replacing nodes quite well, and I credit my coworker's great efforts to make it work on top of Kubernetes for making our lives so much easier.

- These are great. Some time ago I was tasked with writing installation tooling for a startup's data analysis product, which was built as a distributed system. The system used a SQL database to store metadata, so every host needed the SQL database's connection details. Using an advisory lock to decide which host initializes the database schema made everything so much simpler - just install on all your hosts at once, in parallel, and don't worry about it.
This was MySQL but its advisory locks are pretty similar to Postgres.
It's also nice that the lock is released when the database connection terminates. Really easy to use. If you need exactly one of something running constantly, you can launch however many processes and let all but one spin trying to acquire the lock. When one dies and closes its SQL connection, thus releasing the lock, another will obtain the lock and begin work more or less instantly.
They're infinitely useful!
- The anonymity aspect of it always confused me. If anything, bitcoin and almost all other cryptos are the ultimate surveillance state currency. Every single bitcoin, no matter how many fractions it is broken into, is traceable through every single transaction it has ever participated in, all the way back to when the coin was first mined.

Also one of my favorite PalmOS games! It is worth noting that this game has been open sourced under a new name, Hostile Takeover.
- I mean I get it, but it seems a bit silly. What's next - an image search engine that only returns images created before photoshop?
- Is it not soaring? I can't think of a recent time a new technology was invented and I began using it almost every day, and I don't even consider myself that heavy of a user of AI.
- It's worth noting that the Gaza Health Ministry is a government agency and the de-facto government of Gaza is Hamas, and therefore the health ministry _is_ Hamas. Casualty numbers released by the ministry have already been statistically dubious, and seeing that Hamas would only benefit from inflating these numbers, it is likely they are not accurate numbers.

- Minio used to be able to do this, but they dropped this feature - "gateway mode" - several years ago.
- Hasn't openvpn had hardware acceleration for some time now? Those days are long gone.
- I seem to recall this being a factor in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery fire debacle. The article linked below has an xray image where you can see the anode/cathode overhanging and then being shorted by subsequent damage.
