Yeah. For me threatening to invade Greenland was a super red flag. I have not cared about US privacy & security laws. Even if people have talked about it and snowden exposed a lot, over a decade ago.
But by treating Greenland...
I see a real shift in the political environment from the EU [1]
My _feeling_ is that a lot of EU/European politicians has talked a lot more about the need to be independent from the US after Trump threaten Greenland. At least in the nordic countries. Not only concerning data & privacy, but defence, communications, space etc. All areas. The wheel has started to turn. You will not see it if you look around. But in 10 years time, maybe more, Europe will have stopped depending on the US. And that will hit US hard. We pay a lot of money in services to the US.
The politicians can talk, but they needed to set up an environment that would've let a European company have a decent shot at competing with the best AI models. But they didn't. Should've thought of that before being proud of setting up those strict tech regulations.
Even with e/os/ or another u
De-googled version of android?
Not directly to you but in general: I do not think (most) of Europe is going the same direction as US. I actually see a lot of hope in response to EU leaders about digital infrastructure, communication & security. we have started to stop realing on America, but it will take 10-20 years before you see the entire crash trump made
Yea sorry I was speaking from the U.S. perspective. But still Europe is still involved in certain things like age gating. That is a clear sign that there are some entrenched interests that want to erode privacy on that front. I hope that moving away from U.S. corps for communication services happens. We (U.S.) really need a kick in the pants. I feel like there is authoritarian agendas everywhere now though.
I would like to see the prompt they are using. I asked CLaude to generate a password and email to a new user and im quite sure he used /dev/urandom in some way. I would expect most llm to do that as long as they have cli access
I think that is a bit to easy. MAY is described ar optional.
SHOULD - Should really be there. It's not MUST, you can ignore it but do not come crying if your email is not delivered to some of your customers !
you should have though about that before.
I moved everything on github to a self hosted foregjo instanse some days ago. I really did not do anything. Created some tokens so that CC could access github and forgejo and my dns API. Self hosting is so much simpler and easier with AI. Expect more people to self host small to medium stuff.
Ironic that that same AI you're mentioning is probably a large part of why this class of outages are increasing. Id highly recommend folks understand their infrastructure enough to setup/run it without AI before they put anything critical on it.
Sure. I can agree with that. At the same time, the reason people aren't doing it is not solely a skill issue. It's also a matter of time, energy, and what you want to prioritise.
I believe I have good enough control over it to fix issues that may arise. But then again, CC will probably do it faster. I will most likely not need to fix my own issues, but if needed, I think I will be able to.
"Critical" plays an important role in what you're saying. The true core of any business is something you should have good control over. You should also accept that less important parts are OK for AI to handle.
I think the non-critical part is a larger part than most people think.
We are lagging behind in understanding what AI can handle for us.
I'm an optimistic grey beard, even if the writing makes me sound like a naive youth :)
Yeah, once you start self-hosting your code, it’s kind of nice having control over everything. Makes you think about moving other stuff, like analytics, to something self-hosted too.
Simultaneously too confused to be able to make their own UX choices, but smart enough to understand the backend of your infrastructure enough to know why it doesn't work and excuses you for it.
The morning national TV news (BBC) was interrupted with this as breaking news, and about how many services (specifically snapchat for some reason) are down because of problems with "Amazon's Web Services, reported on DownDetector"
I thought we didn't like when things were "too big to fail" (like the banks being bailed out because if we didn't the entire fabric of our economy would collapse; which emboldens them to take more risks and do it again).
A typical manager/customer understands just enough to ask their inferiors to make their f--- cloud platform work, why haven't you fixed it yet? I need it!
In technically sophisticated organizations, this disconnect simply floats to higher levels (e.g. CEO vs. CTO rather than middle manager vs. engineer).
I only got €100.000 bounded to a year, then a 20% discount for spend in the next year.
(I say "only" because that certainly would be a sweeter pill, €100.000 in "free" credits is enough to make you get hooked, because you can really feel the free-ness in the moment).
> In the end, you live with the fact that your service might be down a day or two per year.
This is hilarious. In the 90s we used to have services which ran on machines in cupboards which would go down because the cleaner would unplug them. Even then a day or two per year would be unacceptable.
Last actually note-worthy improvement I heard of was properly supporting import/export (although do you still need to use the .mjs hack?), but I've been out of the loop here for sometime so would be nice to know what they've added since.
Sounds like the obvious correct solution, making .cjs and .mjs obsolete - unless of course someone uses import() statements exclusively, in which case I need to ask: why?
It is surprising for me to see these features finally being added to Node after such a long time. Especially so when I remember reading discussion after discussion about how something like this wasn't possible. I touched on this in a blog post some time ago [1]. Glad Node is catching up.
I don't see in your blogpost any sources cited regarding anyone saying that ES modules were infeasible.
Additionally, io.js actually forked off due to internal drama which started with Ben Noordhuis having changed some pronouns here and there and people wanting to cancel him for that, to which he picked up his toys and left the sandbox.
It so happened that aside from being competent himself, he had competent people on his side, which eventually forced those governing Node.js to concede.
using, memory64, undici, async local storage, ESM import improvements, type stripping, local storage / session storage, env file support, built in file watching. Those are just the ones I mainly remember. There is a lot more.

Definitely a problem, but funding good Postgres/MongoDB/SQLite should be handled by AWS, Microsoft, Google, and other orgs that sell database services.

A good chunk of PG development is done by employees of those companies (*). Of course they could (and probably should) always do more. But even if they invest more, it's not obvious that the marginal effort is best invested in some language's drivers...
Disclaimer: I'm paid by one of those big companies.
It's an issue, but not a new issue and not an issue introduced by NPM or introduced by package managers.
People were cuddling and pasting code from random people on the Internet they didn't understand for many years before package managers where there were zero maintainers. Many people that don't properly understand supply chain issues still are.
As a quick aside, “them” is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. The correct word you needed is “they”.
You couldn’t phrase your original question as a statement “Them have though.” That’s often a quick test for valid English grammar. With the correct pronoun, it makes more sense: “They have though.”
As another example, take this sentence: “Have you seen them though?”
“You” is the subject of that sentence, and “them” is the object.
It's short for "Have them [Node bozos improved it], though?"
Or, equally likely it, refers to deno and bun ("deno and bun has really made Node focus and improve", "Have them (deno and bun) really made Node focus and improve, though?")
Did you do hot updates? I ser that is mention in the post, but I thought the community has walked away from it? Or at least that its mixed feelings about it?
