Here you're just comparing proprietary closed source development to open source development. In the proprietary version the goal is to improve a product. The OSS goals are much harder to pin down and can be different person to person,

I've spent quite some time evaluating the different tools over the last year, for both working on my employers complex codebase, and for my personal projects. At the start of the year I found Cursor pretty unsatisfactory and unable to

I couldn't find any evidence or research on that. It's being investigated as an anti cancer drug.

They mentioned Concorde in that list of failures. But while it was a financial failure in of itself, it was probably the precursor to Airbus - a strong collaboration between the UK and France to save their failing airliner businesses. I dou

I'm actually surprised that jsx hasn't made it's way into the standard yet. That still seems a more likely outcome than react going away.

You can look up the blog author yourself if you're interested. It looks like the typical small NZ "does several things because the local market is so small" kind of business. Local laws here are a bit more strict on hosting c

Looking around it seems its a small ISP / IT consultancy. It doesn't look to be anything shady at all.

So what do you do when the process has a problem? The document that your country issues that is valid and meets the KYC legal requirement but has a title that the internal process rejects? You need to speak to someone who can say "this

Bah. I posted it but I didn't keep it open on my phone. The tldr: They moved offices, informed wise of a change of address. Wise asked for proof of address. They sent a phone bill. Wise rejected it because the terminology of bills in N

I read an article a few years ago about what brushing actually does for your teeth and why it works. The premise was that brushing applies fluoride and removes the bacterial film that eventually turns into plaque - and that about 2 minutes

You started out good with what seemed like an easy comparison, she doesn't floss, you do, she still has better teeth. But then you go on to show all the other differences, especially not always brushing twice a day, different diet, avo

Because docker containers need to run on a Linux kernel so it requires some form of VM on non Linux systems. No matter how well integrated that is it's never going to be as lightweight as running containers on Linux. It wouldn't b

That's nonsense. I think brexit was a terrible idea but people didn't vote to destroy the economy, and the British economy is still there. Losing 4% productivity relative to where it'd be otherwise is bad for sure, but not de

Yes exactly - "Anything we can actually do, we can afford" I would also suspect that more than 50% of the people working this kind of unskilled labour do have aspirations to do more, it's just that it's hard to switch be

yes? I wasn't doing a moral comparison, I was just pointing out that it's not really in the equation of reasons the US makes alliances.

The US is allied with actual authoritarian regimes. I'm not a big fan of the UK, I grew up there and left. But this whole UK is authoritarian thing is totally overblown in the US media and HN comments. Having free speech restrictions i

Those don't seem like the best reasons. European and American economics are pretty close. Europe isn't socialist, it has broader welfare system than the US, but the US has significant welfare systems as well. I've lived in th

Einstein didn't outright reject the Copenhagen interpretation. We like a story, but such a story glosses over all the nuance and messy chaos of real life. The physicists of the time were friends and friendly rivals. We probably get the

> the UK being between France and Germany ... was a stabilizing influence. I don't see that at all. The EU was a Franco-German project. De Gaul kept the British out as long as he could because he thought they'd be destabilising

You're right and when I thought about it more I considered that "supervisor" isn't what I would want. Rather I'm thinking raising errors to the program that embeds sqlite so that it can decide what to do. I do have

Keeping running if possible doesn't sound like the best strategy for stability. If data was corrupted in memory in a was that would cause a bounds check to fail then carrying on is likely to corrupt more data. Panic, dump a log, let a

It makes sense because each user is paying. I would like the my personal payment to Spotify to be split between the musicians I listen to, and none of it to go to Taylor Swift. Yes, it wouldn't be a direct relationship between number o

I've tried coolify, dokploy, komodo. There's also more I haven't tried: kubero, and of course dokku with a web interface. I guess its just enticing to have some kind of interface that shows your deploy. But with each of these

That doesn't make that much sense, those issues are ones that the Guardian would be aligned with anyway - at least in general. I'm pretty sure I've read disputing opinion pieces on there on both subjects.
