Jake, non super-nerd in Ohio, never picked up Linux because they either never heard of it or the barrier to entry was to complex. Basic-ass stuff like drivers not working, etc - going on for decades now. Then along comes a personality like

DHH having to deal with gatekeeping attitudes like this and particular political prerequisites is the reason he created these “dotfiles” in the first place. I actually know several people who are not very technical and never Linux users who

What nonsense. Plenty of nations brag about their drinking prowess, have you ever met a Fin or a Swede, Irish, Bostonian? The worst behaving drinkers I've ever been around are the British.

I think there’s actually a direct correlation of people wearing these athletic shoes, especially the really expensive fancy ones in public places and actually not being in shape. It’s pretty funny. People who are truly into athletics or gen

This is neat, might give it a spin. I've had little luck getting good results from AI bots no matter how grounded they are with good quality context and examples. I actually decided to just build a dead-simple support chat that pipes i

That's right, South Stream. Thanks!

Turk Stream goes to Turkey, original plans to Bulgarian were canceled.

They started that path to economic suicide by deciding they don't want cheap gas as well as shutting down reactors. Well, depending on your geopolitical beliefs, entire situation was possibility coordinated to get Europe on American LN

But how will they protest if they can't drive and meet up or fly to those green events?

Have you seen what they charge per hour? Let’s just say it’s not Upwork rates.

Was lucky enough to spend a week in Rome this summer, and even that was not enough time (and I've been before, still not enough combined time). It's wild when I hear about people hitting 4 different EU cities in the same time peri

Ha, I feel attacked: https://github.com/agoodway/pgflow ^ this one is pretty cool, pgmq does most of the work.

I'm not talking about that, but existing utility tools (in Rust) that can generate MS document format. Perhaps not perfect, but these work today.

Rust or native is objectively more performant and have smaller binaries than these web apps in Halloween costumes…

AI is especially good at ports like this where there’s a known and well tested surface area.

I’m not talking about forking, but using standard libraries and native frameworks instead pretending electron is a desktop app.

by cpursley 25d ago
Just throw some tokens at the problem. I’ve vibed up a Rust Crux hybrid app that runs well on macOS, iPad and wasm and does some pretty complex xml manipulation and other document work. Absolutely smokes electron and you get native UI. Ref:

I still don’t understand why with all their cash these companies dont redo their apps in Rust or native. They are all so heavy and dog slow. There are already some very fast cross platform (wasm too!) libraries that can do what poppler does

Let me guess, VC funded start with plenty of cash to splash around and play with tech, beef up those resumes?

$73M raised? I like Warp but not enough to pay for it. Somebody please make this VC money thing make sense. I can never get the napkin math to work on 90% of things that come through HN. Is it just a "Money Printer Go Brrr' and ri

Check the benchmarks, hopefully even more JS slop is converted to Rust for the sake of humanity.

Yes, people were more mentally resilient and mature then and it was pre Reddit, which has completely broken and warped many people’s minds.

What I'm saying is pick transportable tech from day 1 so you can easily move if they shut down, hike prices, decide they don't like you, etc.

by cpursley 1mo ago
Yep, lock into some vendor from day 1. Great idea!

Even without the subsidies, at this point, they’re arguably making better cars.
