One reason for this change might be all the dead Slack workspaces out there. I’ve been in over a dozen Slack workspaces over the years, and many of them were just used temporarily for one project or another. Slack probably has millions of s

One word: slavery. As long as you have cheap labor (in the form of slaves), the economic incentive to invent labor-saving devices is much smaller. It’s no accident that the industrial revolution only came after slavery (and it’s ugly cousin

If you’re just serving static HTML, HN should not be a problem. It’s only if you’re running code (and database queries) for every request that your server might go down in flames.

The blockchain community are their own worst enemies. There are some interesting use cases for the technology, but those are lost in the noise of the big crowd that treat it like a get-rich-quick scheme. All the “HODL”, “diamond hands” and

Yes, but it also claims that hidden files in general were a mistake and mentions how Plan9 not having hidden files was learning from this mistake.

I agree that it’s annoying that so much junk accumulates in the root of your home dir. But any consumer-facing OS will need some sort of mechanism of hiding/protecting configuration files/logs/etc. from deletion by clueless u

But costs real money to send and is severely limited in what it can do. RCS would open the door to lots of new ways to spam and troll people.

Same here. I now recommend https://git-fork.com – great client, much more sensible pricing model.

Considering that the game is 11 years old now, I doubt a macOS port would be worthwhile. Mac users who wanted to play Skyrim has likely already played it on PC or console. I really liked the game, but I’m certainly not paying to play it aga

Asking Google to collect less data is like asking a tick not to bite you. Sure, you can ask, but that won’t change the nature of the beast.

Is this even legal everywhere? Can they just pull the game people had paid for, without providing a refund in countries with consumer protection laws?

When you see the words “by Adobe” and loose all interest instantly. Let me guess, whatever it is requires a Creative Cloud subscription? I do remember when I was excited about Adobe stuff. 20 years ago. Since then, their virus-like “install

Shame that Bram is doubling down with vim9script. This will give vimscript a Python 3 moment, splitting an already small community into even smaller pieces. I wish he’d have embraced Lua like Neovim. It has already been proven to work great

Gitlab has the most baffling billing policy. Since they removed their lowest tier, they have nothing in between $0 and $228/user/year, basically offering no easy onramp for smaller customers. Enterprise or go home I guess. Since t

I guess this is related to the recent kerfuffle about to making (most of) 127/8 publicly routable to stave off the IPv4 shortage a little while longer. We’re just delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later, the band-aid has got to come o

Easily the best feature in this release if you do your dev work on an Apple Silicon Mac (or Raspberry Pi, I guess?). Also great if you have the option of deploying on AWS Graviton or similar.

I guess we should all be glad that the Internet was not designed by Pratchett. If it was possible to send infinitely repeating messages like he describes, the whole Internet would soon be completely bogged down with useless overhead package

Yeah, I think it was mostly the 3D hype (and great marketing) that made Avatar a success. The movie itself is more or less just the sci-fi version of Pocahontas.

You monster (j/k). Nice font work. I’ll be greatly surprised if the Avatar sequels gain anything like the popularity the first movie had, but at least it won’t be because they used Papyrus.

LiveView is easily the best implementation of this concept, shame Elixir is not more popular than it is.

Depends a lot on your situation. AWS is a way to trade money for engineering time. Sure, you can run your own OpenSearch/PostgreSQL/Kubernetes cluster “cheaper” than their managed offerings. But that’s the keyword: _managed_. If y
