Is that a bug.. or a feature? Probably the latter

I think most would say that’s configuration, not feature flags. The differences can be subtle but I at least don’t think they’re the same thing

The Nordics aren’t struggling at all in this area, they also have incredibly generous parental leave and subsidised child care systems.

Not really. A random app I download from Github Releases can easily ship my ~/.ssh/id_rsa off to some server and I'd never be wiser. That's very hard to do on a phone. They're not the same thing and treating them as

I guess this is the result of the free market at work. A link to multiple articles was posted but the consumers (HN users) voted with their wallets (upvotes) and here we are Is it not the system working as designed?

If you’ve never stumbled across the older OkCupid blog posts or Christian Rudder’s book (Dataclysm[1]) then I can’t recommend them enough. Super interesting content delivered by a smart and engaging writer [1] https://www.goodrea

Looks super cool, congrats! Monodraw[1] is a similar product delivered as a standalone macOS app. It’s a classic pay once-type license and very polished software. Cannot recommend enough! I’ve always wanted something as good on Linux though

This is a fun one I picked up while living in Sweden. I didn’t realise we differentiated like this in English until I was taught that many is många if you can count it or mycket if you can’t, then a Swedish friend pointing out to me that th

I did try Navidrome and used it for a while.. I honestly don't remember why I switched but I suspect the reason was probably more related to the client I was using at the same (Submariner on macOS) than the server-side.

I tried this (among a bunch of others) about a year ago and landed on Gonic[1] for the server and Supersonic[2] on PC and Amperfy[3] on mobile. Yes it's a few different tools to maintain (plus beets etc), but it's the ideal set of

Peter is apparently underneath the Vatican. I’m not religious but I love history - they run a tour under the current city and it’s really quite cool if you’re into that sort of thing http://www.scavi.va/content/scavi&#x

It's a hard lesson to learn like this, but it's a learning moment nonetheless. You don't rely on your provider to make backups for business-critical stuff like this, you need to manage it (and test!) it yourself. rclone[1] su
