Surprisingly, I haven't heard of Uruky yet, even though I'm actively looking for EU replacements to a lot of international companies. I have subscribed for a month and will give it a try. One feedback already though. Some of the G

I know its effecitvely a vendor lock-in and not what you are looking for but I love the SimpleLogin integration that Proton made with Proton Pass. I have it setup in my browser and phone. Whenever a website or app would like an email for an

This is purely speculation on my end but paypal has too much friction from a consumer standpoint for me. I pay mostly with credit card (debit really but entering the number etc). When paying with PayPal, I need to click through several scre

I think the social experiment is a cop-out used after it failed. If the PR was accepted, we'd probably see a blog post show up on HN saying that agents can successfully contribute to open source.

But the most valuable ad targets are people with money unless my product specifically targets low-income individuals (pay day lenders, etc).

I agree. I think the main problem is personalized advertisement that incentivizes companies to record as much data as possible. I'd prefer if they worked like they do in print magazines. Every reader sees the same. Lets say I'm re

Switch 2 is the fastest selling console of all time right now. [0] They sold more than 17 million units in less than a year. The Wii U only sold 13 million over its entire lifetime. The Switch 1 took 2 years to reach 20 million, and the Swi

Should've clarified in that case. I used models as a general stand-in for AI. To provide a bit more context: - We use VS Code (plus derivatives like Cursor) hooked up to general modals and allowing general context access to the entire

I find that with more complex projects (full-stack application with some 50 controllers, services, and about 90 distinct full-feature pages) it often starts writing code that simply breaks functionality. For example, had to update some more

Fair, however at some point of a companies size/spending the complexity of integrating with a SaaS becomes as large as the one to run your own open source tool. Beyond that, and Im aware this is very much application/company depen

Workday is not an ERP? Beyond that, they're effectively replacing major stacks of traditional SaaS tools with in-house ones. Considering the scale and complexity of what Klarna does and the regulations it has to follow across many diff

What limit are we talking about though? Credit or debit? Debit I'd agree would suck because it is your money. Credit cards on the kther hand is you lending mkney from the bank.

That would make it a single point of failure, no? Not a good idea if your company is riding on it.

Needs more research. Fully agree on that. That said: TV very much is the idiot box. Not necessarily because of the TV itself but rather whats being viewed. An actual engaging and interesting show/movie is good, but last time I checked,

Fully agree on CMR being the way to go, especially for things like home servers. The only other value might be the power on hours (POH). Effectively the intended daily running time. If youre looking for something that sits in a server, best
