This looks good, and I’m a target user in this space. One thing I’ve noticed is the prevalence of Docker for this type of tool, or the larger self-managed PaaS tools. I totally get it, and it makes sense. I’m just slow to adapt. I’ve been s

I’m not sure what you’re comparing that to. This project is about easily deploying your own app/side-project, which wouldn’t be available via apt.

While it may be comforting to think you're just sticking it to "Amazon", if you look at almost anything you're doing, you're going to see other people who are really at the other end of this apathy. Whether it'

Since the 30% is so often mentioned, it’s worth noting that both Apple and Google have dropped it to 15% for developers under $1M in revenue.

I’ve gotten to see some of that at a local level and… I just don’t know. We barely managed to pass a local school levy to recoup from a major accounting error that would have meant massive layoffs for the district. It’s a pretty good distri

It’s a technique and may or may not be effective for a particular team. When I was an EM, we’d fairly regularly take stock of any processes to assess whether they were worth keeping, needed tweaks, etc. Funnily enough, on the daily standu

I remember us once giving a supplier access to our internal bug tracker for a collaborative project. They were unable to get to the “…/openissue” endpoint.

Including the ones you visited on your phone, and even maybe as an in-app web view? Add to that the HN reader app I use and I’m finding a lot more escapes browser history.

You can do Add To Home, but you’ll get errors if you try to launch without any network. Though the PWA model can provide for a fully offline experience, I’ve found that only a minority offer good offline + sync. It is sort of the opposite o

There are probably more Flutter apps about than you’d think, and at least on Android you can look for yourself: https://x.com/kevmoo/status/1819112503722627286

"Tolerate" is an odd way to describe a totally voluntary transaction in a market with plenty of alternatives. The service is either worth the price or not for each person, regardless of the COGS.

I did that for years but have recently switched to Cloudflare Pages. Cost are negligible either way, but Cloudflare auto publishing straight from a GitHub webhook out of my repo is slightly fewer components.

Yep. One thought experiment I like is how well I’d be able to carry forward human technological progress to some primitive group, given any descriptions or samples of said tech that I’d want. Microprocessors are always the choke point, wher

To pick on your airport example a bit… all of the times I’ve gotten to enjoy a busted in-seat entertainment system, I’ve found myself staring at a stuck Linux boot process. This goes well beyond the OS.

I think you have to look beyond the company. In my experience, even the people implementing these tools hate them and rarely have some evil desire to spy on their employees and slow down their laptops. But without them as part of the IT sui

My decision on SQLite vs Postgres is usually something like fixed and variable costs. For each little thing, Postgres is typically nicer to use. But the fixed cost of standing up and maintaining a dedicated database is high enough that I ra

I checked a bad/oops/“no more computer” month from my early 90’s youth and it would be about $250 today (1 month).

I just turned 50 and am slowly starting to hate being sleepy . I think(?) I'm getting a restful night's sleep as I typically have, and I'm still active and eat pretty well, but damn... every time I sit down after about 3 pm

Along the lines of some other comments here, this would benefit from some documentation about privacy, terms, are they trying to make a business from this, what they’re doing with the data, etc.

I’ve never tried it, but it doesn’t sound terrible. As I approach 25 years in industry, what does sound terrible is more rote studying for interviews, and I don’t mean just leetcode. The idea of just giving the work a go in situ, and we eit

I recently bailed on their process. My reward for passing the leetcode gantlet would be a 50% chance that the offer would require uprooting my family and moving across the country. Ok, we’re done.

When I’m in a library, or perhaps a Goodwill store, and see some woefully out-of-date volume (that 1991 copy of “Let’s Go: Chicago”), I think about how it survives because it takes work to remove it. Multiply this by the number of physical

You get 1P for $10/year? I'm willing to pay for a lot of software, but the costs are certainly real (especially in aggregate), and I try to be mindful of whether it is worth it to me. I would definitely pay $10/year for a pas

Slightly triggering! I grew up in Illinois, about two blocks from one of those sirens, and they tested the thing weekly for about 30 seconds. It was so loud. For a while, I had regular nightmares about tornadoes, and that siren was always a

It wasn't a particularly healthy environment, as I recall (it was a long time ago). Rather than "tough but fair," I remember my drill cadre being volatile and sort of mean. It was ridiculous that they punished me for coming
