I bought a Tuxedo machine. While the situation is not perfect (I had to install driver packages on Fedora), everything works perfectly - including standby. My last machine was a Thinkpad, and I never got it to work nearly as well. Standby m

Then I guess you'll be surprised to learn that Linux is usually faster for most things with gaming being the exception. Even when it comes to gaming it's becoming more and more of a "trading blows" situation over time. S

It's hard to guess why you have such an experience when you are not being more precise than "issue after issue", but it would seem plausible that you are using hardware with poor support. After all there are plenty of people

There should be a DMCA-like law that would allow to instantly prohibit actions like these until they have been properly scrutinized.

Trump might be succeeding at what lots and lots of European tech experts have been unsuccessfully trying to do for years: Making those in power realize that it is not acceptable to be totally dependant on and locked-in to US tech.

I was immediately thinking of inertia.js. Inertia is "dumb" in that a component can't request data, but must rely on that the API knows which data it needs. RSC is "smarter", but also to it's detriment in my op

That is exactly what I do. As far as I remember my podman installations on both fedora and ubuntu came with a podman.socket service that I could enable as easily as running: `systemctl --user enable --now podman.socket` Then I installed the

I'm using fedora coreos to run nextcloud on a cheap old workstation. It took some work to get the configuration right, but I'm very impressed by how little maintenance I need to do (so far none at all). If anyone is interested in

The trick for development is to enable the podman socket (for the user for rootless containers) and then use the standalone version of docker-compose.

As I understood their arguments it was not about the effort needed to rewrite the project. It was about being able to have two codebases (old and new) that are so structurally similar, that it won't be a big deal to keep updating both

Attaching the bottle cap is a great idea that prevents unnecessary plastic pollution. It is an example of the EU doing something reasonable that a private company would never be motivated to do.

One alternative that we are using is scalingo as a replacement for heroku. I doesn't have all of the same features as heroku, but the features that are there work really well. For instance the UI is better and more responsive than hero

The about section of my blog reads: "This is where I treat my desire to constantly talk about the things I'm making" Surely it would be nice if someone read it, but really it would just be a bonus. It also makes it completely

My experience is that even seasoned frontend devs get confused about what happens where and for what reason.

I'm really not a fan of the "what colour is your component" situation introduced by RSC. RSC is a cool feature, but I'm still not convinced that the added churn of thinking about "colours" when building compone

That is a good point, and I can see that I probably did not communicate what I meant clearly enough. In my experience most of the state management in FE apps is about fetching and handling data from different types of APIs. With inertia you

by jeppester 2y ago
We use inertia.js to do exactly this. It's a really strong selling point that you can use a popular FE framework for all the templates, but at the same time almost completely avoid state management.

I'm happy I didn't have to scroll too far to see this. Git's CLI isn't elegant, but it really isn't that big of a deal if you understand the basics of what a commit is, what a branch is etc. I struggle to understand

It's interesting how the Steam OS option is positioned as the cheap choice for the casual gamer. On the surface level it looks it bit like the half-assed Linux efforts for the Steam Machines and EEE PCs. This time the software - if it

I completely agree and have had the same experience as you with docker-compose working better than the alternatives. Past versions of podman were flaky, but since version 4, which is now a couple of years old, I haven't had any issues

I won't deny that the outdated repos was a pain in the past, but ever since ubuntu got to version 4 it's been working flawlessly for me. I think version 4 was where podman became a reliable tool, whereas I found it to be flaky and

You can run the standalone version for docker-compose against podman. You just need to have the podman.socket systemd service running.

I use podman with docker-compose files for my day-to-day work; spinning up databases and other service dependencies for locally running or containerized webapps. podman-compose never worked very well for me, so I'm running with the pod

I do not doubt that this was possible for you, or that your kids turned out fine. But I think you are making a very bold assumption based on a sample of two, and also being quite dismissive of the challenges that other parents are facing. P

We also tried out nest.js, but I wasn't really happy about it. To me it seemed more interested in being a smart dependency injection engine, and enforcing an - IMO not very JavaScripty - module pattern rather than being a useful tool.
