I have used the Essential Phone for a few years now. The experience has been great in every dimension except for the one thing many people care the most about: the camera. The camera app the phone is shipped with is horrible. I really don&#

You probably wouldn't want to live a stress-free life: stress is often also a source of great meaning in people's lives. Stress doesn't necessarily cause bad effects (threat response), it also causes good things (challenge re

This looks like a great system to simplify Arduino programming. However, this runs your program in a loop. You can add a delay to reduce power consumption, but it will reduce responsiveness. I am really looking for interrupt-based Arduino p

Is it possible to sync notes to mobile and quickly make small changes? Simple Note is the best at this. Currently I am using inkdrop which is a little slower to load due to the web view refresh of react native.

I am using it for k8s deployment and overall am quite happy that I can safely configure deployments without boilerplate. The k8s integration makes it easy to get started with, including using existing yaml configuration. Certainly though yo

Panic is hidden and not composable. Composition: Errors as values means it is easy to write functions to deal with them. Errors as exceptions means invoking special language constructs. And program termination doesn't compose well. Lib

Then the principle would be that it is okay to do business with China if you don't kowtow. That works well for selling to China but it can only work for buying if there is a distributor outside of China which would just encourage buyi

I am not trying to troll but genuinely interested in figuring out the boundaries of these proposed boycotts. What is the difference between "accept investments from China" and allowing Chinese citizens to pay for your service? Thi

I don't necessarily disagree with the article, I just want to point out that outside of the US others will readily view this line of thought as hypocritical and self-serving. As a US citizen, I try to consider how the rest of the world

My wish for 4.0 is to decouple the pieces of helm. It has always done too many things. Package management, templating, deployment life cycle management. Helm seems good enough as a package manager. But it forces me to use one particular tex

kustomize only covers some simple (but common) use cases. If you can use it, you should since its modifications are semantic. Generally I find it is good for handling known differences between a few environments like local and production. B

Its interesting to see them reason that the BSL is more open source than open core. Do others think that? It is certainly more free as in beer for most users.

Great to see this getting standardized! I maintain an error package that lets users use structured types for errors and error codes [1]. It is critical to be able to wrap errors without information loss. I used one standard, a Causer interf

Why not? I can think of one reason: SQL is generally poor at modeling tree structures. This may reflect itself in the application with comments without hierarchies (which is the case for StackOverflow and Quora), but that is a more minor pa
