Glad to see this picked up :) Any chance there’s room for assertions in your vision for Yaak? Running API tests is important for some teams which might force them to stick with Postman / Bruno IMO the local focus also makes this better

Damn, really? That’s very troubling

Amazon receives inventory directly from manufacturers. Third party sellers are significantly more likely to sell counterfeit products Same reason you’re not likely going to find counterfeit goods on the shelves of a Target or Costco

This got much less attention than I would have expected. Yaak is awesome, please please please keep it local-friendly

Right on. I just don’t have a way to fiddle with it. I’m an engineer at heart but sometimes involved in procurement decisions—if I can’t poke around self-serve, I’m not likely to pay IMO your free tier doesn’t need to support organizations,

Before taking some of these comments in earnest, remember that the hn readership has a bias But I do think you need to have a better free tier or consider going open source if you want to pick up momentum

Sounds like the fallback license is for the version available on the date the 12 mo subscription started
102.
by DrBenCarson 2y ago
Confusing IMO because they use years as the major version. If I subscribe May 24 - May 25 and they don’t release 2025.1 until just after my sub ends…which version do I get? That said I’m a jetbrains fan and like their recent move to include

Yes and most engineers building GUIs professionally use those frameworks day in and day out so they’re just very comfortable with using them Independent of the implementation, people build GUIs to make the functionality accessible to a LOT

This is fine for Linux users and the actual servers, but for local development on a Mac, you cannot beat Orbstack (imo)

It never works on first go, constantly debugging and breaking

Yes which is why I explained making the modem a highlight is for Wall Street. They acquired part of Intel and worked on this for many years. Shareholders want to know what the result of all that money and time was.

Any company looking to hire a CEO will have to pay market rates. Those market rates are not make-or-break expenses for the vast majority of companies

Emotional frustration yes totally understandable But from a strictly business standpoint, it’s a bit of an absurd position
109.
by DrBenCarson 2y ago
Sure. But they also use a massive amount of power when they’re out of range so constantly searching for the network Turning off your modem is second only to turning off your screen if you’re looking to save battery

Breaking news: Apple makes premium products

Sure but they also leaned heavily into the “we still have an aux jack hurr hurr hurr” while they figured out how to copy Apple

Sure, but they do protect from a massive swath of real attacks Don’t guarantee complete safety but do eliminate a massive attack surface

The improved battery life is BECAUSE there’s no MagSafe lol You’ll need to answer for yourself: more battery life or MagSafe?

The overlap of the “cares about battery chemistry” and “purchases the lowest tier device” is probably close to 0 The C1 modem gets a line because Wall Street has seen that expense for a decade now, so this is a “win” for them. Battery chemi

Phones maintain a cellular connection even if most data is being transmitted over WiFi at any given moment Cellular modems are constantly reading and broadcasting messages to the cellular network unless they are explicitly turned off

If the CEO made $0, what would the impact on Mozilla’s balance sheet be? Hint: not significant
