You're right. And that's something I still don't quite understand. I'd really like to know how many workstation licenses Redhat really sells. It's been so long, I didn't even realize that they still had a separ

Given the target of RHEL, I can’t say that I disagree with their decision to not package those applications for RHEL 10. RHEL isn’t really designed to be a user desktop. Ever since RH split out workstation and server versions of the OS, R

I mean… Phoenix was the original code name for Firefox, so maybe it was just foreshadowing.

What I think you’re not addressing is the question about the Linux VM that Docker requires on a Mac. I don’t think there is a question about the benefits of Docker from a management point of view. The question is — is it worth keeping aroun

I don’t think there is a need to limit this geographically. As a rule hardware companies are bad at software. It doesn’t really matter where they are from. If you’re including things like TVs that spy on you, don’t forget Visio. They are on

I've been trying out Windsurf for the past two weeks with VS Code and I find it (and Copilot) very helpful, but also very annoying. Occasionally, the windsurf command overlays (explain, accept, etc...) will get stuck and make it imposs

I completely agree... in my comment, the word "competent" was doing a lot of heavy lifting. And it begs comparisons to comments about Dropbox/rsync, etc... But, I personally think the Neon concept of branching databases with

All of that can be true. What I wonder is — if that all is true — how much of a moat is there around that? It seems like the secret sauce in that company isn’t some custom technology, it’s execution. Execution can be replicated by another c

Thanks for adding the little bit of meta commentary here. I think it helps to understand a bit more about how the site functions. And with this case, particular, it is a very useful timeline to help follow the discussion.

In Indiana (mid 90s), we had an open lunch policy in high school. This meant we could all leave campus, so long as we were back by the start of the next class. It was great and we had many choices for quick lunch nearby. I remember picking

Agreed. This is clearly listed as required for the “full desktop experience”. If you don’t want a tray icon, you can use headless mode.

Or about building tables… I don’t think hacking has to exclusively be about programming and computers. If you submit a story about raising pigs or building a table on a weekend, it would probably get a lot of interaction. Please think about

If people still drive with a suspended or revoked license, what’s to say they won’t still drive without insurance?

by mbreese 2y ago
The article says that 75% of people with revoked licenses continue to drive anyway. So yes… you’re completely right. But if you don’t take away their car, then that’s the car they are most likely to use (there is no excuse to borrow someone

I didn’t even get that far. I started looking at some of the links and was reading about their first product: Earthfiles - kind of a mix between Makefile and Dockerfiles. I thought that was interesting, so I kept going… only to land here:

I don’t think the utility of Windsurf was the question. There is clearly a benefit for a tool/service like this. The questions raised by the article (as I saw it) were price and timing. $3B is a lot. Is that overpaying for something wi

I think that's actually hard... because you have to know what the text is you're redacting to get the spacing for the letters right. You want to redact specific words, but keep the rest of the document the same. This means that yo

Which is particular odd to have a publicly available GPL repo. For this project, it looks like anyone could just comment out those sections of code that check for a license and redistribute. Or is there another binary somehow required and

The book Dreaming in Code [1] goes into great detail about how CalDAV (and WebDAV) came about through the work of the group who built the Chandler calendar program (or tried to). It’s been a while since I read it (at least 15 years), but I

I get this. I also do this (to some extent). Instead of installing whatever tooling I need for each project, I’ll store the tools in a Docker container. Then I don’t have to think about each project and how they interfere with each other. E

Agreed. You can host both SSH and HTTPS on port 443. I know this used to be possible with HAProxy, but now Nginx can do it as well. This way you are hosting normal HTTPS traffic when a browser is used and SSH otherwise. Now, if your company

The shortcut strip came in the box! And it was all based on F1-F12 and modifier keys alt/ctrl/shift. It was a complete pain to learn, but once you knew a few key ones (F10 was save?), it was very fast to work with. I wasn't v
