   How can Starbucks be so popular with such terrible coffee? Why McDonalds still profitable in Italy and other places famous for great food? I'm actually surprised Domino's wasn't a success. There's something about the net

   I wonder how is there no open data on "no mistakes FSD zones", e.g. areas of maps or routes that would be proven by large numbers to be error-free for Tesla FSD without interventions. Would clearly show progress and make people un

   Very often in Elm/Haskell would I write the code first, then let my IDE insert the type annotation. Not always perfect, but often the case.

   Good to hear. I'll definitely check it out.

   Since we're here. What do people use when they need to test their software installs well on naked Ubuntu Server of some version? To not do manual setup in Virtualbox, can be Linux-only. I've found Multipass https://mult

   High-quality self-hosten messenger is still a very much need for those who cannot put sensitive data on Slack servers.

   Thanks, that's really great news. The only thing I wish for now is aarch64 support on Apple Silicon

   Would love to, but it fails miserably at scale.

    Need to wrap it up into some simple systemd-friendly cli and configuration language and finally ditch nginx.

    So, 2FA would've prevented this? Crazy that 23andMe didn't have one mandatory.

    Given that the plugins are written in Rust, how does it dynamically load/use them? Is there a good description?

    Rust gives you clear semantics on when it drops a variable, so it's being used not only for memory safety but to close files, kill threads, synchronization primitives, and whatever else you want (can be implemented via Trait). Does C#

    Tailscale solves this problem as is beginner-friendly, highly recommended.

    I don't quite agree here, but what they do then is conflate words "Russian and Rusian" to mean the same thing, claiming for various stuff their population has no relation to. It's a dirty tactics very in-line with their

    In Ukraine they're called Varenyky (originating from a verb "boil", like "boiled things").

    Hosted secure chat is still a very important niche. Matrix.org is failing so far once you add many users. XMPP fails too, usually, but for different reasons (configuration issues hard to debug, apparrently).

    If I open an old chat, and press "play" on old video, and it's downloading before being played, where is it download from? Same for downloading a file.

    Sorry, how does 1 mb per user seem reasonable? I’m sending tons of videos, documents and pictures, probably beyond a gigabyte daily. Just one video is like 40Mb. 1Mb assumption seems absurd

    I'm building a small startup and wanted to have some semi-automatically generated admin for it. After looking at all the modern React-based solutions, Django still looked like the easiest way to go. Ugly and non-SPA? Sure. But still ve

    It's just so strange. They provide two systemd files, you need to choose one, edit (!) it, put on the machine etc. Comparing with nginx's boring apt-get install that does the right thing this feels like non-mature way to distribut

    Just curious. I use Ubuntu on my servers (as many do) and I deploy everything as standard Systemd service (even my apps). However, when I wanted to try out Caddy, I realized they don't provide you with one, so you have to write your ow

    They have hard time keeping up with regular python packages, I don't think Rust will make a difference. I just do "pip install uuid-utils" and get a uuidv7 implementation in my Python.

    I'd recommend learning Type Theory (if you need languages – learn HoTT or just read papers on type theory around borrow checking etc.) to understand how Rust type system works, and assembly/LLVM (and again, papers) to understand h
