I don't consider it excellent support. I once had a slow performance on their zfs instance and asked the support what happened and all they said was, "It should be better now, please check" and it still had mixed performance

Better than nothing but it's far from what the title describes as "rains cash". MS : $25k - $50k Google , FB : $10k - $25k For them, that's like saying "Hi". For the financial value the OpenBSD foundation is cr

So you don't bother to read the source before running when it's open? How is that any different from running npm which is even harder to audit with many dependencies? OS packages may have maintainers and some eyes before being pac

It's funny that people even forget that their CPU is not x86 and not notice a thing and it's a good thing. I do web development but I see zero problem with JetBrains, browser, text editor, Photoshop and some other apps.

Mozilla had more money than they had ever dreamed thanks to Google contract and they failed to realize how to properly utilize it and must be blind spending. It feels like a kid who received 5 games for Christmas and doesn't know what

Use a DNS based adblocking and you're free to use whichever browser you want. Kiwi has clean interface and I still use it nonetheless.

by mekster 4y ago
The future of adblocking seems network based as it can't be bypassed by Google's intention. It's easy to use when most OS can have default DNS over DoT/H that can also block non browser apps or even OS itself from connec

Some local news site's article ranking list somehow becomes empty with adblocking but I care less. Now that I think about it, if a site wants people to disable adblocking, they should make valid contents disappear instead of begging fo

Haven't used adblocker extension for a while. I just have AdGuard Home on a VPS to be used with every device on the network and do DNS level blocking and all is clean including stopping trackers from non browser apps.

Sounds quite ineffective. Just throw an appropriate exception type and deal with them in a single spot. What happens if you forget to catch an exception? System default error measage printed out?

> should I just log it as an error and let the program continue execution anyway? How can you even get to such a conclusion? These kind of attitude is what makes programs buggy. Plant an error tracker, so thrown errors are automatically

Unless it's a business that you run on your own. I doubt anyone truly loves a job unless it's run by them.

Why do they have to either compress it all or not. They must be smart like, have the files split in pieces (just like some network file systems/backups do) and if those blocks are untouched for a while, compress what's compressibl

I wonder why cloud vendors, even AWS, wouldn't invent a modern remote desktop protocol that works cross platform in easy way such as through ssh protocol that may perform at near native performance and they may just have a wider use ca

Hell of a lot of limitations to do it right in 2022. Is compression really bad? In instances like file system, sometimes it may even be faster to enable compression as disk IO is slower than computational time. And you're telling we ne

Not just Java. It's best for any languages they support. The only thing is that it's not lightweight but hopefully they'll get Fleet right.

At least give Sublime Text a credit. It should be a small market share but some people like it. And there's probably a larger pie for those using vim/emacs. Though I seriously have problem understanding how vim can be any better t

I think you just didn't care to find alternatives to your environment nor read much of HN comments on programming editor topics. It's been about 5 years since I decided to switch to all products pack from PHPStorm which I used for

Why do they need that many for the products they have? Sounds like just because they can but not exactly using them effectively on the new fleet offering by the look of the progress speed.

It just makes no sense to use AWS. You sleep better knowing there aren't extra charges you can't expect on sudden egress traffic rise by choosing sane providers. The only place it's good for is for backups where traffic is al

You could have a VNC in LAN without password but forgot to limit the source IP. And the way you say, you need a "decent OS" to avoid flood attacks without tinkering, whichever OS that is.

It does by not exposing the ports that aren't meant to be and only routing the traffic intended down to the local network.

Happy for a service which only lets you look at 3 days worth of logs until you pay more just to see more logs? Besides, their technical skill is pretty poor when their site shows "page not found" of some sort on log in process for

Not sure if your parents even feel comfortable? It's never too late than never?

When the project got this large, I'd say it's safer to use an actual business address before too late than a private one as any weird people may target your parents' house for no good reason.

When your next project runs in a different framework or language, you'd be using a different ORM. It feels like a waste of time learning ORM. Plus it's difficult to optimize.
