Automated updates are great until one is installed that is incompatible with what you actually want to run. Now it's 3 in the morning and you have to find an old version of some package to fix your service. Obviously protection from th

Fun read. I suspect engineers who never made an online game before were the developers behind Microsoft's side of this.

I've seen agile/scrum implemented very well exactly once. I could say some clichés about well-meshed gears. It was a great experience to work within. Was it just a well built team or did agile/scrum actually help? I think the

I don't think it's surprising at all that an article posted on a Ycombinator.com subdomain about news talks about Ycombinator-related topics.

Committing aside, git also has stash. Many people prefer using one consistent tool (git) over the variety of IDE's equivalent features available.

I'm not so sure. I mainly used the airpods as a mic for Zoom calls so the content is voice either way. The quality degradation is drastic enough that I don't even try to use the Airpods on my computer for voice calls anymore. Howe

Audio / bluetooth on macs is currently a total disaster. My newer macs - mainly a 2019 15" - have some truly bizarre behaviors around these. One example is that if I switch 3.5mm audio cables too quickly it starts routing audio to

That's pretty surprising to hear, considering that SQLite is one of the most widely used pieces of software in existence and has a solid reputation. And the insane amount of testing they do - https://www.sqlite.org/test

A database server? Gitea is as "involved" as you make it - mariadb certainly is not a requirement for Gitea. I've been using Gitea with sqlite for a couple years and upgrades have never ever been more complex than replacing t

I have xfinity configured with custom DNS and used to have a somewhat similar problem. At the same time each day, DNS would stop working (but I could still reach plain IPs) for a couple minutes. It went away after I called them and had them

I think your argument makes sense but the example you gave is far too extreme. Also, isn't splitting things into small services instead of large beasts full of hidden behavior the basis of the argument in favor of microservices?

Neat, although with Wikipedia dealing largely with sentence-based text, I was hoping for something that does text-to-speech. It would be cool if for each edit a voice would read the article title and the updated sentence(s).

Bugginess and performance are areas that can be fixed with patches. What can't be fixed with patches is that the image of this game the developers sold to players was based on lies. There's a laundry list on reddit: https:/&

I have to disagree. More often than not, when I send someone a link to a thread, Twitter decides to show only the first post or few. There's a link to see the rest of the thread but there is zero indication as to whether this link will

Buggy releases can be fixed and I think it would be completely unreasonable for Sony to pull the game over bugs alone. I'm fairly convinced that the overpromising and underdelivering around features is the reason it was pulled. I can t

Just curious - what format are the user IDs? I thought they may have been IP addresses simply converted to an int, but if that's the case it's been done in a way I can't reverse.
