Ok, but does (s)he know? It's just guessing, so unfounded non-news?

"It’s possible that some of this jump is the result of committers making more mistakes this year than they did last year, but I don’t think anyone who works on the project really believes that’s the main cause. Rather, it seems likely that PostgreSQL committers were about as conservative in 2026 as they were in preceding years, but a lot more of the mistakes they made were quickly found by LLMs."

and

"And I think that’s also why we had so many late reverts, and why the release itself is delayed. Two factors are at play here."

They are protecting themself, because of german law.

Edit: There is also personal data in that leak, so that needs to be cleaned first.

I don't know, this blog post and the lasts read like organisational and human failures to me. Their system doesn't degrade, they even have infinite retries and no meaningful quotas anywhere I can see (but I'm not a heavy github user).

I feel like this becomes a lesson on how NOT to design and operate a SaaS.

There are buttons on the bottom left: pause and two to adjust the speed (down to 0.1x). Some parts of the city can be adjusted when you click on it (I just found the transactions/s)

Because it passes more boundaries and stuff. But hey, I didn’t code a Webserver so far - so what do I know. :D

AFAIK eBPF can be hardware offloaded. If you have the use case.

Yeah! I also think that the ban was unintended.

I also think that’s a big clown show. People think that LLMs accidentally get good with security patterns. That is not the case, they included all of that in the training data. They could also have left out the knowledge.

I tried installing it and it was a pain, if you don’t use the very very default scripts. Also their scripts regenerate secrets and the setup is weird in general (you need a complicated rp configuration and scripts to generate the config files)

You can try out AstoCAD, a reskin of FreeCAD. The author also fixes a lot of FreeCAD bugs.

From the initial feature set it sounds like Mozilla SOPS.

Kinda weird when they secure shop sites where you enter your payment information into. IKEA does this, for example.

I love when people do this! Now we only need alternative software and the hardware is finally purchasable!

Would be cooler if the hardware was more OS before but I take what I can get…
