A lot of commenters don't seem to understand how much of a pain in the ass rolling your own NAS is. And then dealing with drive failures and expanding the storage pool, which is dead simple with Synology, but is completely hair raisin

There's just something about the specifics that seems really odd to me. "60% of features"... really? Sixty percent, specifically? Like I think this story is maybe based on some series of events at a SaaS and I agree with y

Since it doesn't have as much interest from FAANG people treat it like its dead meat. Rails powers a ton of smaller apps (and some very large ones) but everyone thinks their idea is the going to be the second coming and therefore it n

At least this hype cycle seems to be accelerating. Its always darkest before the light. So hopefully the day after every single front page link is something AI related, there won't be any. But that might be because the earth has exp

I have this theory that one easy way to curry favor with Trump is tell him about some previously esoteric/unused power the executive has. So much of what he does seems to just be because he can do it, and not because it actually has a

It tracks that if you're going to give an accreditation you want to make sure its being upheld. Pizza shops can cut a lot of corners that a normal patron might not notice or care about.

Related to this, I use this script to setup a live stream of my cameras on a debian system connected to a little monitor https://gist.github.com/neontuna/d1ba0c771aa89c42910f21c0aae... I didn't like having to fire

Bingo. We did these buckets, were very diligent about it. They appeared to work (at least in terms of attracting Mosquitos, which they're meant to do) but had no real effect generally. House next door is a rental, with a rotating

I agree, its funny to see the trope from someone advocating GrapheneOS. Like its pretty typical to see from regular internet users who seemingly stopped caring a long time ago that FAANG has essentially their entire life in various databas

It would be helpful to link to the Tailwind section about duplication https://tailwindcss.com/docs/styling-with-utility-classes#us... As someone that used Tailwind for years at this point, you're right about why i

I dropped out of college after a semester. I also didn't see the value in it. Because I was a stupid kid. Twenty years later its one of my biggest regrets. We don't need more self righteous "founders", convinced they

Arriving at college back in 2001 my roommate and I setup a CS server. A lot of the freshman were getting their own computers for the first time, and had not ever played computer games before so we basically kickstarted a CS community. I t

Salesforce status page is down now too. That’s an entire day lost for us. I’ve been pushing our team to finally ditch Heroku, maybe this will be what we need to be done with them.

Still having issues, had a deploy (luckily just to staging) that seemed like it went through but old code still present in app. Can't restart dynos, cli commands sometimes work, sometimes don't.

And yet the grant writing process continues, as the perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good. I'm glad someone at the DoD thought that ARPANET was a good idea to research so that 60 years later we can argue online about whether

This looks pretty awesome. I've been using TablePlus for a while but writing queries in there, without keyboard shortcuts etc that I'm used to, is not ideal.

Another way of reading the saying is that the weak men are weak mentally, they're cruel and inept. So maybe outwardly "strong"... but not really.

People with a conscience and an ounce of empathy will always value creative work if they themselves intend to make a profit with it in someway. If you take someone's work, and use it to make money, you should pay them for that work.

So... do you want someone to present you with evidence that paying people for their work is a good thing? We're getting to the point of arguing the color of the sky here.

This is excellent and illustrates that unless you have access to the cap table, you have no idea what your options are worth. Sometimes you can at least get a founder to tell you what the preference stack looks like, and what multiples we

We joke about AI at work a lot but man if our CEO told me I had to start using it and that my performance would be judged on that - yeah I'm out. Why don't you let your developers decide what and how much AI they want or need t

Yeah this definitely doesn't help anything. I don't know why some people can't understand that everyone can get behind dunking on Elon Musk, because he is clearly an alien wearing a human suit. But doxxing Tesla owners is
