Tak jsem se dva roky před padesátkou rozhodl odejít z firmy s dobrým týmem a skvělým šéfem, abych se věnoval – opět na volné noze – svému projektu, který sice český průmysl potřebuje jako 🐖 drbání, ale za to to může být hezká finanční polízanice pro mě. ;)

Jenže, poslání. A nový impuls. A vůbec. 🏃🏻‍➡️

Víc (možná i tady, jestli se osmělím) tak za 10 dní.

Štěstí přeje odvážným a připraveným, ne? 🍀

beware of the gremlins when using httpc/hackney/poison:

elixirforum.com/t/strange-http…

Also don't forget that validating the certificate is not the same as validating the hostname you're connecting is actually covered by the certificate! That's why this had to be made:

github.com/deadtrickster/ssl_v…

Crazy that this is necessary

OTP has some catching up to do, that's the core issue IMHO. But they've come a long way in the last few years. As Erlang/Elixir have been experiencing huge growth these issues that nobody cared about are being solved with each new OTP release.

The next issue that will drive you nuts is no dual stack / Happy Eyeballs support. But you can get halfway there with this hack:

github.com/skunkwerks/inet64_t…

This will make all your connections try IPv6 first then fall back to IPv4. I'm pretty sure your httpc usage would not be able to connect to an IPv6-only website right now because httpc is hardcoded to only try an inet_tcp socket, never an inet6_tcp

Happy Eyeballs tries both simultaneously and picks the fastest path. If many A or AAAA values are published for the same record, it is somewhat smart about trying them in groups. (according to latest v3 spec I think?)

If someone has a broken AAAA record published for example, inet64_tcp will try the IPv6 host and then give up with a failure. It won't fall back to the A record because an AAAA record existed. That's all this does -- check for AAAA first and then connect if it exists, otherwise do the normal A record lookup and IPv4 socket connection.

You could probably modify that inet64_tcp to have error handling and be much more intelligent though! It's not complicated code, the trick is just knowing how to overwrite the OTP inet_tcp function which the library is already configured to do for you. You could definitely enhance the logic to make it more robust.

@gnomon Everything looks super sharp, indeed! They are giving me a small headache, as per usual, but it should go away in a couple of days.

My problem with multifocals is that I have my laptop raised over my desk, and I need to tilt my head back. My old monofocals weren't cutting it anymore.

Now let's see if I can get used to changing them when I sit up and down...

Living organisms are assumed to produce same-#species #offspring.

But this is not the case for Messor ibericus, an #ant that lays individuals from two distinct #species.

In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste.

As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago.

The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova.

BOBBIN: Now with Enhanced Apple IIe support, thanks to @sethkushniryk ! Currently in the "enhanced-revised" branch, not yet in main. I can play @a2_4am 's "Pitch Dark" collection now!

With everyone being so focused on Ty and Pyrefly right now, I'd like to put a lesser known type checker in the spotlight for a second, called Zuban.

I know, yet another Python type checker, just what the Python ecosystem needs! But hear me out, this one is genuinely exciting to me.

It's made by a long time Python ecosystem contributor, who you might know for creating Jedi.

Of course, it has all the goodies you'd want these days, which is a good CLI, an LSP, being written in Rust for performance, etc.

But it also aims for Mypy compatibility with zmypy, making it a great potential option for existing projects using Mypy that just want something faster.

I reported a couple of issues which got fixed in a span of hours too!

I'd say give it a go, don't expect perfect results, but report issues if you find them :blobcatthumbsup:

Looks like Matrix was able to restore from a snapshot and didn't need to use a dump/restore method, so they've escaped certain death this time.

Now let's see if they learn their lesson and do something about their db corruption / storage failures issues they claim keeps happening
RT: friedcheese.us/objects/91f3c6b…


Oh a mysterious "slow burn" of Postgres corruption? Where is the engagement on the Postgres mailing lists? I haven't seen a single thread about this issue on the pgsql-general or pgsql-hackers lists.

It's either a hardware storage bug, a raid implementation bug, a kernel bug, or their Postgres/filesystem tuning is trading data reliability for performance. But they're not sharing anything of value.

Postgres doesn't just corrupt itself. We have several DBs > 100TB at $work. Many people have significantly larger databases...

I kinda doubt their recovery times too. They will probably forget that they need to disable indexes to make the restore have a reasonable speed. And pg_restore is single threaded per table. 1.5TB can take 1.5 days.

blog.peerdb.io/how-can-we-make…

I think they're fucked. I wonder if they will be able to recover without it taking months, literally. They haven't indicated they're using anything but vanilla Postgres.

This could be the end of the matrix.org homeserver.


just wow. read this, from Techdirt:

Wired, Business Insider Editors Duped By Completely Bogus ‘AI’ Using ‘Journalist’ Who Made Up Towns, People That Don’t Exist

techdirt.com/2025/09/02/wired-…

Here's Wired's mea culpa:

wired.com/story/how-wired-got-…

Techdirt's Karl Bode correctly concludes: "This country has taken an absolute hatchet to quality journalism, which in turn has done irreparable harm to any effort to reach reality-based consensus or have an informed electorate. The rushed integration of “AI,” usually by media owners who largely only see it as a way to cut corners and undermine labor, certainly isn’t helping. Add in the twisted financial incentives of an ad-based engagement infotainment economy, and you get exactly the sort of journalistic outcomes academics long predicted."

FYI the TFWP that the Harper government expanded to bring in more than 500,000 LOW-SKILLED workers btwn 2006 and 2014 to be exploited by employers in the restaurant and retail industries, in addition to the agriculture industry, etc.?

Remember the Harper government that Pierre Poilievre propped up for a decade?
