I do appreciate the technical simplicity argument and I'm always advocating for it. And the few neat tricks i.e. Copilot. That being said, I'd much rather read a few ideas for good recurring passive income. Instead, the author kin

There are a myriad middle states in-between "frupid" (so frugal that it's stupid) and "Instagram scale". Python requires much more hand-holding that many don't want to do for good reasons (I prefer to work on t

Love your username and how it relates to your comment -- and the topic at hand.

I expected more of HN than drive-by comments. So you really cannot figure out how somebody could have time but still be unable (or very unwilling) to do things they perceive as their plans that they want to do? Really? Not a single idea? Te

I could tell you more and it would've been an interest conversation but not after that unbelievably rude comment. WTF.

I can't turn back the clock and I will have to relay to my family that this month I'll get less money because I need to read English literature. We operate within our own time and energy budgets, man. I might never get to that lit

I was writing algorithms to find prime numbers on a 6502 some 31-32 years ago and I hold dear memories. There have been multiple initiatives to remake a 6502-based computer. My today's self does not appreciate the 8-bit limitations how

While I cringe at most LLM speak, I have learned quite a bit from it. Certain terminology and some gaps in my entirely self-learned English. I appreciate that. It helped me better express myself at work and use less words (but hopefully mor

There are differences, but I think most people's code does not expose macOS' suboptimal containerization performance is all. Check my comment sibling to yours. We have noticed very observable differences. Until Apple adds a kernel

To put things into perspective: we have an integration test suite that takes: - 30 minutes with Colima on Mac; - 20 minutes with OrbStack on Mac; - 13 minutes on a weaker CPU (Ryzen 5500U) on a native Linux laptop; - 14 minutes on a Ryzen 5

I don't buy it. People were decent and nice to each other long before any "holy" books were written. As my sibling commenter said, it's far more likely that some people one day finally caught up to that fact and figured

I have no idea what's your goal with that message. I would love to live in your world but I am fairly sure that wherever I was geographically (5 countries), it does not exist there.

Why would that concern you unless you are working on the cutting edge and the very limits of that hardware? The current generation is insanely fast. I am planning to get a gaming PC for my wife and a mix of gaming + workstation PC for me (o

One local store drops prices to clear stock and/or gain mindshare. Within a week, everybody else does. Happened before, will happen again.

Philosophy is the theory and we are discussing the practice here. Be a non-nihilist; belong to any school of thought you like. Ultimately, out there, people value you by just 5-6 things and almost never they are your beliefs or personal val

Zero to do with religion, I knew quite a lot of atheists / agnostics who were extremely wholesome and caring people.

You seem to think I disagree with you on the theory about how should things be. I don't disagree. I really want that reality to materialize. It does not. We have people in very high positions who very carefully make sure it never hap

People need to get shit done and are beholden to whoever pays their wage. Executives don't care that LLMs are vulnerable, they only say "you should be 10x faster, chop chop, get to it" -- simplified and exaggerated for effect

I mostly meant they don't support cgroups and other Docker-required machinery and have to emulate them. OrbStack bridges a good chunk of the Linux performance gap however. I was using Colima before and then the Linux laptop was running

Does not support it _natively_ and is measurably slower than a supposedly much weaker Linux machine was my point, which I believe I expressed quite clearly. > And really, who cares if it had 10,000 background services if 9,999 are idle

Different sound device output for different apps. Apple still hasn't fixed this. In 2026. Still requires 3rd party apps. It's embarrassing.

It's also quite amazing how macOS doesn't support containerization which is hugely important for a hefty chunk of all devs out there. So, Docker Desktop, Colima, OrbStack. VMs. Deal with it. Not to mention the amazing amount of se

Yeah, apparently a certain group on HN will forever repeat this. As another poster said, no checks in the world will help if programmers ignored them. It's a one-liner lint in Rust. Somebody at Cloudflare figured it's too inconven
