I’ve been having success doing this with AdaptiveCpp (formerly OpenSYCL) bindings in Rust to get PG OLAP and geospatial workloads to run on a metal/cuda gpus - pure rust the whole way through sounds really nice!

A doctor command that does this is always nice! Wish more services would have this

There's a handful of perf related PRs open already so maybe it will be faster soon. I'm sure with enough focus on it we could have a hyper optimized version in a few hours.

I set up like 90% of my vehicles in here - struggled a bit with old VINs for mopeds that basically have no VINs but this is awesome. Cures my ADHD around managing lots of things that need maintenance, parts, docs.

This is called dynamic analysis!

Try pulumi!

Really good internal security practices by the people who make the OS :) I don't think an attacker would be able to pull off disabling features like secure domains, secure enclave, etc. in macOS without anyone noticing seeing as it takes months of approvals, testing, etc. for a single build to even hit the beta channel.

This ultimately needs to get addressed at the OS level. Why is a random JS file on disk allowed to read my browser cookies without my awareness? Why is a native extension downloaded from S3? This goes across all package managers (npm, pypi, cargo).

I think security controls on macOS have been trending in the right direction to tackle these types of things comprehensively with secure domains, sandboxing, etc. but there is always a war of how much friction is too much when it comes to security.

We saw the same thing with 2SV where people were vehemently against it, and now many are clamoring that it should be the only way to be able to do things like publish packages (I agree! I have no issue jumping through some extra hoops when I publish something a million people will install).

This might be a hot take but I think a lot of loud mouths with their personal preferences have been holding security in this space back for a while, and recently people seem to be getting tired of it and pushing through. The engineering leadership that won't just make these types of high impact security decisions because it might irritate a handful of highly opinionated workflows is unfortunate!

You can’t use those extensions on almost any cloud like AWS, GCP, Aiven, etc. - I think Azure is the only one offering a citus product because they acquired them. Also extension updates are a major pain point in hosted DBs - always lagging behind. Having some solution in core would resolve this, even if it was just bundling some best in class extensions out of the box to bypass these cloud providers very selective extension support.

RethinkDB (RIP) was really big on this concept and we used it for a few applications back in the day. Even since then (~2016) it doesn't seem to have caught on to any other major DBs.

Most of the 1-10M+ homes in NYC, SF, etc. were built 100+ years ago. I know a number of people who live in perfectly nice homes built in the 1700s in rural areas that have consistently kept their values. Homes don’t depreciate and need demolition “within a few decades” if you just keep up with basic maintenance. If you don’t believe my anecdotal evidence, you can do a basic Zillow search and filter by price over 1M and built before 1980 and see how many results you get all over the country.

I wish this were true legally - my property tax bill on my 40 year old house would be 0, but sadly it increases every year as my home value appreciates.

Currently working on Android + iOS apps that handle the ipfs:// protocol natively and allow users to upload files as well. I think you're right on target RE: more protocol adoption and hopefully something as simple as making the links work natively and letting people upload with a simple interface will help out. The IPFS extension exists for Chrome/Firefox/Opera for similar functionality.

Out of my hands but getting more browsers than Brave to add support seems like the next place to start pushing IMO.

Phoenix has some location advantages (large rivers flow into the valley, warmer climate, better soil for agriculture) than northern Nevada that makes it more desirable and spurred growth.

Outside of Manhattan, certain streets in San Francisco, and some parts of Chicago it is life changing.
