In response to the surge in RAM and NVME costs, and no foreseeable improvement with them, Hetzner increased the setup price on its dedicated servers. Some servers have gone from €39 to 269.

They say further increases may be coming, including to ongoing subscription costs.

Thanks openai.

Strongly agree, and it's always getting better. The maintainer is a hero, and there's a few other regular contributors who do great work. They're always super responsive to feedback

Because jj is vastly simpler and more powerful than git, while being compatible with git (so you can keep using Github etc). There's tons of articles and videos on the topic, and many other posts here on HN about it

Check out jjui in particular. Makes it even easier

If there was a vscode extension that had half the power of jjui, I'd consider it. But that's not the case. jjui is just amazing.

The science around what fats are good or bad is so confusing I don't think we can say much about them with certainly, except that trans fats are probably bad. I lean towards "eat whole foods", but those can include anything from beef and coconut which are full of saturated fats, to fish and nuts which are full of polyunsaturated fats.

Limiting animal fats (which are mostly saturated fats) has a very noticeable and measurable effect on how I'm feeling and doing overall. Primarily using olive/avocado oil and nuts/seeds as my fat sources significantly improved my energy levels, mental clarity, sleep, and stress/HRV (as measured by my Garmin watch). I've noticed this so many times that I don't think this is a placebo. I haven't checked any specific blood markers that might be affected by dietary fats though.

Saturated fats _are_ essential for humans but you should be getting enough of them from non-animal sources.

YMMV

Akshually... Both chicken and pork, and even beef, have more mono- and poly-unsaturated fats combined than saturated fat.

I think that depends on the individual, or maybe on the dose. Years ago I read a bunch of books arguing for saturated fat, started eating a lot of it, and my cholesterol and triglycerides got horrifically bad. Even those books, which claimed high cholesterol is no big deal, were like "but if it goes over X then you need to fix that," and I was over X. I had high particle numbers too, which the books agreed was pretty bad. I went back to my normal diet and that took me back to my normal bloodwork.

Citation Needed.

My understanding is that the very few studies that showed positive impact of "adding" saturated fat turned out to be a replacement issue. They replaced junk (candy, refined carbs) with sat fat. Replacing with MUFA and PUFA showed a much greater effect.

Jetstream isn't kafka-compatible, nor does it have pluggable storage of s3, sqlite, Postgres etc...

I think jetstream storage is about to get s3 api support https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/discussions/5486 . also you can use bento connector to connect it to any pipeline you could possibly want. It is easy to manage and works great

Great to see. Hopefully something comes of it. Thanks for sharing

I wonder how it compares to Redpanda

I've used Redpanda for local development and testing stands. It is super easy to setup in docker, starts really fast and consumes less resources than Java version. Haven't really compared it to anything, but I remember using Java version of Kafka before and it was a resource hog. It is important when you develop on laptop with constrained resources.

to be fair, Kafka now has a GraalVM docker image[0][1] which was made for local dev/testing, and it has caught up fairly well to these alternatives re: memory and startup time

What I meant was how Tensu compares to Redpanda

yeah why have data when you can just use vibes

The article doesnt make it at all clear what it is comparing to - mysql running remotely or on the same server? I'm sure sqlite still has less "latency" than mysql on localhost or unix socket, but surely not meaningfully so. So, is SQLite really just that much faster at any SELECT query, or are they just comparing apples and oranges?

Or am i mistaken in thinking that communicating to mysql on localhost is comparable latency to sqlite?

Even if you're on the same local server, you're still going over a socket to a different service, whereas with sqlite you remain in the same application / address space / insert words I don't fully understand here. So while client/server SQL servers are faster locally than on a remote server, they can (theoretically) never be as fast as SQLite in the same process.

Of course, SQLite and client/server database servers have different use cases, so it is kind of an apples and oranges comparison.

Yes, I already said all of this. But you haven't clarified what the article is saying

I think they're trying to not shame other services, but yes the comparison is vs networked whether that's local on loopback or not. For a small query, which is what they're talking about, it's not inconceivable that formatting into a network packet, passing through the userspace networking functions, into and through kernel, all back out the other side, then again for the response, is indeed meaningfully slower than a simple function call within the program.

Yes, I explicitly said localhost is slower. But the article doesn't say what it's comparing to nor provide any measurements.

Connecting to localhost still involves the network stack and a fair bit of overhead.

SQLite is embedded in your program's address space. You call its functions directly like any other function. Depending on your language, there is probably some FFI overhead but it's a lot less than than an external localhost connection

I think the most common set up is to have your application server and DB on different hosts. That way you can scale each independently.

Quite likely! But the article doesn't say this

Cowboy coffee can be excellent. It's almost literally what professional coffee tasters do when they do "cuppings".

A French press just adds fine mesh. You don't even need the glass jar - literally a jar or any other vessel would work
