Moved from Proton to Fastmail a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier.

You're not crazy. Pocket Casts was originally developed by a South Australian startup, Shifty Jelly. Sold to a consortium of public broadcasters which included NPR. Then there was a change of heart the the public broadcasters decided t

All I care about is my favourite podcast app, Pocket Casts, which Automattic bought in a dumpster fire a few years ago. But even if I don't personally use WP, the fact that something like 25% of the web runs on software which this luna

Intel’s low end SoCs are such an undervalued gem. A couple of years ago I got tired of dealing with OpenWRT and various Tomato based firmware or hunting down compatibility between ARM and MIPS based routers. I finally took the plunge and bo

Very interesting that I followed a very similar reasoning and settled on F#. Tells me that our process must have been very similar.

Gemma 4 31B as hosted by Cerebras is almost too fast! Like I gave it a few different queries and the response was instant and I thought there was something wrong and there was a glitch and I had to double check that I had actually given it

Depends on your point of view. It can be argued that it’s Docker that is reinventing the wheel and doing its own bespoke process management, journal management etc when all of these are solved problems on Linux. Podman is instead reusing th

I took the advice of the other Mullvad founder in the other thread here on HN and signed up for IVPN. So far I have to say I am really impressed. Clients are all open source, really configurable, and speed and reliability seems as good as M

Land of the free, land of the brave. Free market. Freedom of speech. Market economy. These words don’t mean what they use to anymore. Newspeak is in full swing. Words still sound the same and are written in the same way but now mean somethi

I don’t have hard data to back this up, but I estimate that plenty of main Usenet binary providers easily exceed that.

For similar reasons, I have been working in the public sector (Australian state government) for the past 5 years and couldn’t be happier. I’m lucky that I’m in a team which is hands on and does a lot of very interesting things. From buildin

If you care about the publication, you are very welcome to pay and become a subscriber and enjoy an ad free experience like I do. If you don’t, do you really get to complain about ads?

If you believe, like I do, that there are a lot of parallels between the US of today and the Rome of yesteryear, you might find the answer by reading Tacitus. It turns out, long after Rome had become an Empire and was only a Republic in nam

I vibe coded a library in Nim the other day (a language I view very much as a spiritual continuation of the Pascal/Modula line), complete with a C ABI. The language has well defined syntax, strong types, and I turned up the compiler st

Since 1979, every US president has known that the US can send a couple of aircraft carriers and bomb the shit out of Iran. And yet none did. Because they listened to their security chiefs and advisors who would tell them, Iran is a highly c

We live in a timeline where you don’t have to have strong morals to be crushed. If you have any morals, you will be crushed.

Yes but only if you call them export taxes. If it’s payments to continuously verify National Security protections, it’s all good.

I think that choice of words to call them the Department of War and Secretary of War multiple times in that statement was very much intentional. And a point well made.

I did this last year. Reluctantly. And using iOS still hurts. But it’s better than that Google crap. I developed my own Android ROMs from 2009-2011, complete with my own tuned kernel. I ran the local Android developers MeetUp group and evan

I’m old enough to remember the days that banking apps required Internet Explorer and didn’t work on Firefox. Eventually, they were dragged kicking and screaming to support all modern browsers.

There are people who believe that KDE 3 was the perfect desktop. They forked it when KDE 4 was released (initial KDE 4 releases were really rough), called it the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE). I actually really like modern Gnome but eve

I think plenty of ML languages have similar things. In F# SQL Type Providers have long been a mainstay (which makes using an ORM with F# almost meaningless IMO) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/

Interesting how the definition “real programming” keeps changing. I’m pretty sure when the assembler first came, bare metal machine code programmers said “this isn’t programming”. And I can imagine their horror when the compiler came along.

My favourite languages are F# and OCaml, and from my perspective, TypeScript is a far better language than C#. Typescript’s types are far more adaptable and malleable, even with the latest C# 15 which is belatedly adding Sum Types. If I set
