This article makes me wonder about comparative analysis against other models and brands. It is good Sig Sauer produced a failure mode analysis. Where are the competitive analysis documents? It also makes me wonder if the reason it can'

Ever consider not using cloud for everything? Hosting this on traditional hosting would have limited the problem and the cost.

Buttons on a microwave are like features on a car (or in a software program). Great for comparative marketing, but do you really need all those features? Do they make it better? I bought this microwave, currently $74.97 and even my six year

This was my experience too, spot on. They called this beta. I design hardware as a EE for a living: this is called failure. My pinephone is in a box.

EE here. Not really about admin/IT. But I do wonder sometimes if I should have done software as a career. Mostly it's a grass is greener feeling when I hear about the high end of the salaries. But I do very well financially, the

I can't find info on what radio you used. Code like this would be more fun to see with links to the hardware design. Is any of the design documented and published?

99 times out of 100 when I think I might need a regular expression, I find it far better to code the search in python directly rather than using the regular expression engine at all. It's far easier to understand and you can run a regu

I still use YNAB4 regularly. I have a paid copy from before they moved to an online model. I'm running it on ubuntu in wine. It still works fine. I had never heard of Actual till today. It looks like it would cover my use case. I'

I'm in engineeering at a major engineering company historically using simulink and matlab. Python took over here in large part because matlab licensing caused so much friction, and we wanted to scale the simulink and matlab models up t

I bought a PinePhone hoping to be able to start using it and developing on it. But until it can reliably make it through the day, stay connected to the network, and not miss calls and texts, I have to use my android phone and I don't h

Have you considered Lithium Titanate batteries? They can discharge at a temperature of -40C.

Just last month I switched over my copper land-line phone number that's been in the family at this address for over 50 years to voip.ms using an ATA. I'm pretty sure this is the longest it has ever been down in that entire 50 year

I'll bite. I think some of the crowd on HN might be interested in selling bandwidth. It seems like that's not the focus for orchid at the moment (based on the lack of info on the website and the lack of github build instructions.)

I just realized that this must not be the chirp font at all, based on looking at the g. This must be some fall-back font. oops. Still it looks terrible.

It may indeed be a problem with hinting. Certainly two o's render very differently on my screen. I first tried to show what I saw by doing a screen grab, but then realized that the image apparently looks different on my screen vs other

Look very closely at the o in "Notice" and the o in "Today"... I see that if I zoom in to the image it looks better than when I zoom out, so there is clearly some interaction going on with the video driver on my screen a

Funny, all the e's look about the same to me. Do you just not like the style? That's not my complaint about the o's. I'm complaining that some are square and some are round. Specifically the o In "Notice" looks

O, no... the o's render square and then round and then square again on xubuntu/chrome... what's up!?!... https://imgur.com/a/0LcqKej Many things seem to change because people need to change things to rat

1+1=50.8 My forth grader understood that this equation makes the same mistake. Hint: units of inches and mm must be made explicit.

True. However, you can buy up 10 years in advance and still add one year of renewal every year.

I love the idea of a not-for-profit tech company... I don't _yet_ trust _this_ company: fancy, connected, rich people's faces on the website may inspire trust in some, but for me, I see that they only paid for the domain name for
