I worked at a place that had a treadmill desk. Takes some practice to use it...

You're definitely not the only one to have this experience. Honestly, I think the problem is structural with regard to management. Just changing the process or tool (ticketing vs constant communication with manager) isn't enough.

> the needs of more normal users I'm afraid users dealing with that sort of bureaucracy are much more normal than you think, if not the norm. They're just usually not the types of folks that are hanging around HN, or they&#x2

Have you used Python and Python libraries recently? That used to be the case, but ever since the Python 2 "death clock" has started this has become a fairly rare occurrence, except in some specific domains.

Does anyone know how it compares to Restic? That's what I've been using and have been pretty pleased. It seems like the main difference is that restic supports integrations with other services, whereas Borg seems uses SSH for its

The issue you have isn't lambda, it's using an *aaS that someone else is hosting.

I think this is an interesting idea. The closest thing to this that I can think of is Terraform, but that's declarative, rather than automatic. I think what you're proposing would have a lot of challenges. Maybe you could make it

This is a funny thing, but still, having a "Function as a Service" is a nice tool to have, regardless of how truly "serverless" it is. Lambda, et al offer the convenience of not having to run your own server, but a FaaS

As someone who's used a KVM->USB device before, check out this Startech device. Still outrageously expensive (WTH should a device like this cost more than $50?) but cheaper than the epiphan. https://smile.amazon.com/

Well, to be fair, it wasn't the authors of the Bible. AFAIK, the word for God in ancient Hebrew doesn't directly translate to God in English. I think in the original language God's name is a more specific name than it is in E

I think he actually had pi-hole running on his AWS instance as well. He mentioned using the "connect" button in the AWS console during the pi-hole setup portion.

Is this a natural process that's been happening for eons (the speed of magnetic north changing accelerating rapidly) or is this due to man-made interference?

I agree with you. And I think it's good that Amazon is given credit for doing this. But I also question whether the incentive that pushed Amazon to do this has as much to do with magnanimity as it does with generating goodwill and prev

Isn't "constantly moving the goal posts" the name of the game in capitalism? Good on Amazon for increasing their minimum wage, but why shouldn't it also be met with a healthy amount of skepticism. Companies definitely do

Keyword for me is portable. The reason I (and I assume most people) use bash is that it's ubiquitous. This framework wouldn't be. Not that it's not impressive and looks fun to try out. But I can't see a lot of use for it

I'm assuming this is from fees for Bitcoin payments (not buying and selling Bitcoin itself in the Cash app, which is free). If so, and if the fees are the same as any other payment (2.9% + 30 cents), the amount of payments made in Bitc

This was an interesting read, both the points made about durability, as well as the in-depth math. However, what stood out to me most was the line: Because at these probability levels, it’s far more likely that: - An armed conflict takes ou

Just yesterday I was thinking I would like to have something like this. I didn't know that this type of feature had a name, nor did I know what it would/could look like, but now that I see it in this PEP, it looks awesome to me. Y

Well, to be fair, the linked post was published in January, well before any of the kid-snatching articles were in the news.

I think that's been in the works for a while, long before any of this tariff talk has been happening. Might have been before trump came into office, but I can't remember for sure

I agree with a lot of people here that there's a distinction between doing something significant and being remembered for it. Addressing the latter, though, I think it's kind of a waste of time. Many here are pointing out certain
