The battery life of a camera doing basically constant uploads of > 10 MB images over cellular, potentially even in bad reception areas will be awful. It seems much more sensible to just offer a good wifi experience. Kindles offering glob

That's because they kinda expected everything to be back to normal in a few hours. If there would be some more catastrophic distributed outage there would probably be less dancing.

Most of the time it’s a solution looking for a problem with these recreational programming writeups, and that’s perfectly fine. I also wrote a script that downloads my mum’s favorite series from public broadcasters, puts them in Plex and se

This could mean many different things. Like communicating well, documenting things to what you are probably assuming: answering your messages 24 hours a day instantly. I doubt you can get a feeling for the work / life balance from this

Unlike rent, everything else in HK can be pretty affordable and it's pretty easy to have decent food for < 5 dollars / meal in HK if you go to non-western places. There's "This-This Rice" places (Rice + 2 other i

Clicking on the GitHub link in your previous submission I see "No description, website, or topics provided.". Having proper metadata on GitHub also helps already for discovery.

You'll be surprised how many features "tech" people think nobody uses (Like a share button on a website), are actually very popular. That's likely the reason that feature still exists as everything is most likely A/

They (and the users) have a very real use case for that, just like a contacts app needs all of that. The problem is not keeping it safe.

This thread isn't going anywhere. If your startup hasn't found paying customers there's no need to build earthquake-resilient software. For most businesses that are not billion dollar companies there isn't. Of course for

Not everyone is into gaming. I rather code on my side projects than use my console. Or people tweak and customize their Linux installation instead of doing work on it. Some people like to work on their cars, driving is a small part of it.

If you have a lot of product pages (millions) it can make sense to not have all of them indexed by a search engine. If you have pages that are more profitable and might hit more keywords than some very specific product SKU it makes sense to

That’s not the point, you didn’t say “Ollama is stupid” you said “Locking it to Ollama is stupid”. Not every person is aware of all faults or politics of all their dependencies.
