I bought my iPhone 13 Pro, and there was an option right there on the page to trade in my existing hardware. I chose yes, and, because I bought that phone with my same apple account which I also have linked to the hardware, my phone showed

Now the million dollar question: did they change because they stopped caring, or did they change because Google made them?

We had an issue at my previous company where our mobile game was crashing for like, one user. He had this whatever model of Samsung phone, but we had hundreds of people using that phone and no one else had issues. Turns out that, despite th

Maybe worth noting that, internally, the first-gen iPhone SE is an iPhone 6s; same CPU, GPU, and RAM. It's missing some hardware features, like 2nd gen TouchID, 3D Touch, hardware image stabilization, and some other minor things, but

There are also some asinine divisions w.r.t. what goes in Premium vs. Ultimate. For example, Premium allows us to configure our CI system to ingest Coverity scans, but only Ultimate lets us actually view them in the GUI . What the hell, gu

Counterpoint: we've moved to GitLab internally (from SVN, granted), and while GitHub would have been easier because it's far more widely supported in tooling and integrations, GitLab has been great for us so far. I would have pref

Well, we have to ask ourselves two things: 1. What would GitHub actually be valued at now? It's possible that all valuations have risen. 2. What does GitLab provide that GitHub doesn't? We went with it for our on-site Git hosting

I appreciate the way MacOS handles these sorts of things: Applications can say "I am a browser!" and then the user can choose their preferred default from a drop-down. Also works for e-mail and FTP clients, as well as possibly oth

This is exactly the solution. IF tons of people are reporting Steve Newscaster because he posted a status about how his team won, then he shouldn't become immune to criticism, those people should lose the privilege of having their voic

Who is "they" in this case? The manufacturer? Your insurance? The doctor? Startlingly bullshit behaviour from them regardless, but I'm curious.

I was made aware of this feature on my CPAP machine, though it was only mentioned in passing. I'm not super crazy about sending the data to the manufacturer, but I do very much like having it available to my sleep therapist. As an exam

Not the parent poster, but I'll chime in. I have a pretty solid Dell laptop from work, and yet, there is one frustration that beats out anything else: audio. I can't play music without it stuttering and skipping and sounding chopp

You think the people who move to their own payment systems are going to drop their prices by 30%, when instead they could keep them the same and make 30% more revenue?

Given how polished everything that Stripe makes is, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the de-facto non-Apple alternative. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd already built an SDK to cover this very eventuality.

I worked at A Thinking Ape (another YC alumni), and for the longest time we had people beating down our door to invest, but the founders always told us why they weren't going to take it: we didn't need money. We had money to run t

Honestly, this is such a common refrain in open-source communities. "I'm going to use this product/project." "You shouldn't use that, use this instead." "But this product/project has all these fe

The dream is to be able to take a software and yeet it into the cloud with minimal effort. That's not kubernetes at all. That said, if your tooling or products or software supports kubernetes, which a lot more are these days, then it b

A lot of that is due to absolutely lousy code. We had a system management backend at my last company. Loading the users list was unbearably slow; 10+ seconds on a warm cache. Not too terrible, except that most user management tasks required

I also have a Synology and it kind of blows me away how much stuff is just... available. And whatever isn't available you can install via Docker pretty easily. One thing to watch out for is upgradability. My system has 4 GB of RAM, whi

A simple local k8s installation with a simple but effective GUI on top, running containerd instead of docker and with a CLI wrapper for docker commands, would be more than enough for everything I need.
