Has elementary improved from when I last used it a few years ago? Felt like a standard arch install configured nicely. Things looked great but broke frequently. I've heard mixed things about ZorinOS including things being less-than-ope

I do think trademarking a color is ridiculous. However, I read something before (likely on HN but I can't find it now) explaining the value companies like Pantone provide. When Pantone "publish" a color, they define how this

At least in Python's case, I think people are much too hard on the packaging system. I don't think anyone has significant issues with pip itself as opposed to the runtime it exists within. Following from this, I think that most ba

The thing I find most interesting about people saying AI generated content is easily noticeable, is that they're always presented a question of "Do you think this is AI generated content?". Nobody consumes media with a list o

Hof looks really interesting. The documentation is super thorough as well (for the parts that are written!). Starred and will keep up to date on it.

It definitely will, but as a product people are using, or as a tool/product most developers will be working with? I can see it being the drive force behind popular products, but typically there's not many ML/AI "experts&

Absolutely. I started learning Docker last year and Nix as a complementary tool this year. Haven't had the opportunity to look at Kubernetes yet, and usually work higher in the stack than Rust I think! But thanks for the advice.

Wow really? Have you got an article or something indicating that? Seems absurd to me that all cloud providers account for less than 20% of servers, either by traffic or sheer volume.

I honestly expected the resolution to be better? The sample preview ( https://app.skyfi.com/sample-preview ) really isn't that great? Where it the idea this is 50cm resolution from?

It would be a better user experience if it was possible to display the reason no cable could be found. All searches I tried came up with no result so I left feeling frustrated, but then I flicked through this comment section and saw that be

If you like this, you would probably enjoy the Corecursive podcast on them and similar fun topics. From memory, I don't think there's anything on quines specifically in the podcast that's not on the Wikipedia page, but it&#x2

I rely on docker-compose, Traefik, and a few simple shell scripts for most of my setup. Each service I have in its own directory with their own data/ and config/` drectories. Overall, self-hosting has been far less work than I exp

Late Night Linux is very enjoyable. Not too heavy/dense, but good for keeping up with current news in the Linux/FOSS world. Focuses more on the technology as opposed to stories from individuals. https://latenightlinux.c

I found this post to be really on point. There's a power dynamic to having more disposable income than others, especially within your peer group. This is more pronounced with tech workers (as pointed out in the post) as there's le

I'm quite confused. I understand why pushing directly to a main branch leads to faster development/deployment iterations, but doing a "reverse pull request" seems to me to be ineffective. What happens in a situation when
