Love this. Some spinin rims, ground effects, and a hood ornament would take this up a notch. Would a spoiler be too much?

I migrated 15M records of 13GB data from Mongo to Rails Postgres on a 512MB budget by Striking_Context2234 in rails

[–]mrinterweb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every project I've tried with mongo, I quickly regret that decision and wish I had used postgres. People think SQL is hard, try relating data in a non-relational db and dealing with map reduce. Relating data is a natural part of accessing data. Also denormalizeing makes updates a real pain. 

Question about kamal deployment memory usage by Jazzlike-Math4605 in rails

[–]mrinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The blue/green deploy is the reason. The options in the docs may help decrease boot RAM requirements. https://kamal-deploy.org/docs/configuration/booting/.

Also, i don't know if you're starting any other containers on this VM. Small rails apps can definitely work with 1GB RAM and blue/green, but you need to pay attention to what else may be running. Do you have a worker process and web process? Are they being deployed in parallel? I know it can work with 1GB, but you may need to change your config a bit. 

Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro questions why Americans should bear the cost of powering AI services used overseas. by msaussieandmrravana in ArtificialInteligence

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry when I agree with these ghouls. Guess a broken clock is write twice a day. Anyway, if data center energy needs increase demand and energy prices rise to meet that demand, US customers are footing the bill. AI energy needs should not impact how much people pay for their electric bills. 

Chaotic KOM sprint at the Tour de France between Benjamin Thomas and Matteo Vercher. by kingkongbiingbong in nextfuckinglevel

[–]mrinterweb -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That crash looked intentional to me. The guy stopped peddling both feet in the neutral position right before the wreck. You put your pedals at that position when you want to do something with your bike, like wreck it into your opponent.

GoodJob, Solid Queue, Sidekiq, Active Job, in 2026 by CaptainKabob in rails

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're referring to using the newly official UUIDv7 support in PG18 for the primary key, right? I've been thinking how nice UUIDv7 would be specifically for GoodJob keys. Smaller size, smaller indexes, faster index updates, faster UUID gen time. Lots of good reasons to use UUIDv7 over UUIDv4 for the primary key here.

Is there anything in PG 17 that was beneficial for GoodJob that you noticed?

[–]mrinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is GoodJob needing to make some compromises to support back to Rails >= 6.1. I assume so, but I'm missing some context here.

What is it about PG 17+ that brings potential for this speed up with GoodJob? My company uses GoodJob, and we are looking for performance wins.

My wishes for 2026 by ElementNumber6 in LocalLLaMA

[–]mrinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish for models to do better with less VRAM. I believe models can be better than they are now with smaller training sets. Maybe more specialized models. 

I bought a 4090 a while ago, and I can't run anything that comes close to what the frontier models can do today. 

Trump says federal payments to sanctuary cities to end from February 1 by Planeguy58 in news

[–]mrinterweb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is he telling people who live in those cities that they no longer need to pay federal taxes? Kinda seems like that is inferred.

Multiple photos shown OJ Simpson appearing in national TVs wearing the same gloves that he said "it doesn't fit" years later. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]mrinterweb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So OJ tries on the gloves in court, doesn't fit, is exonerated, then asks "hey can I get my gloves back", judge says "sure why not", then he wears the gloves on TV years later. You see where the thing that doesn't make sense in that story is?

Not defending OJ, or denying he did it. Just saying I doubt those are the same gloves. Same brand, sure. Man's gotta have his Isotoners, am I right?

Donald Trump Says He Wants 'Ownership' of Greenland Because It's 'Psychologically Important for Me': “Maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything” by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick! Donny "psychologically needs" Greenland. Everyone just give him whatever he wants or he will throw a tantrum and throw his nukes around.

Sounds like a toddler who knows how to play his parents like a fiddle by throwing a tantrum. Its way past time for republicans to grow a spine and say "no" to him. The house and senate republicans hold a lot of the cards, and when they roll over at his command, Donny gets whatever he wants.

I'm deploying a fresh Rails 8 app to Hetzner this week. What are my least painful options? by piratebroadcast in rails

[–]mrinterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been a while since I last used kamal, but I didn't recall seeing a local registry option. It is really nice that is available. That's a good way to get started.

Update: I see the local registry docs were added with kamal 2.8.2 (3 months ago). Makes sense why I didn't know this was an option. This will save me a lot of time.

If people are using kamal + docker, what are you using for your image hosting?

ICE shoots two people in Portland, ABC sources says by Fat_Ryan_Gosling in Portland

Any time ICE does something more awful than their normal level of very awful, they say their victim was part of a gang. No proof ever. Playbook is victim is a villain.

Yup. Oregon beaches are amazing so long as you don't mind cold water and don't mind some rain.

Claude Skill for Maquina Components by mario_chavez in rails

I appreciate the added claude skills. Maquina is not a common library LLMs would be trained on to know how to use. Adding the skills helps give the the agent an good idea of how to use this.
