Insurance should not be for profit, and things like e.g. State Farm suddenly cancelling people's renters/fire insurance just two weeks before the fires (I am one of those people) are what people hate about insurance. No one is arg

Overall nice, but I'm bummed to be running into some bugs regarding a few key binding assignments. Though, I could just be missing something due to the somewhat spartan docs. Given all the time and hype, I'd have hoped that wrinkl

I’ve written a huge number of shell and Python scripts to deal with these sorts of things. But I recently started learning Go and had a lightbulb moment: why not write a cross-platform tool that does this? I really like Neovim’s approach of

There's no way in hell I'd agree to additional remote work if I'm being demanded to return to the office. Either it's remote or it's not.

Chiming into agree that, yes, Nextcloud really does not deliver on its promise. Its S3 performance in particular is absurdly bad. I want to love it, but it's just so not there yet -- I worry that its lack of focus will prevent it from

Exact same here. I write roughly the same amount of Powershell as I do Bash, and yet to this day I feel like I barely know Powershell and constantly look up the simplest things, whereas loads of dark corners in Bash stick in my mind perfect

I just don’t. I work on one of my laptops (Mac or Linux), and ssh into my desktop (Proxmox, mostly running Linux VMs/containers). Keeps my laptop battery happy, solves the browser sync issue, removes the need to git push/pull back

I totally agree, though this process isn't without its faults. One thing I've had to learn to be mindfull of is "type-crastination" -- if I'm not careful, I can really overdo it and spend way too much time and ene

I switch between daily driving my M1 Mac and a Thinkpad X1 Carbon running Hyprland on Arch. The latter is easily the most fluid, efficient desktop experience I’ve ever found. I’ll always keep around a Mac just in case something breaks, bu

Love these two. I’m always so happy to see whenever they’re posted to HN. They’re such interesting people, and I so deeply respect their commitment to their values and continuous evolution. The world needs more people like this.

If what we’re talking about is a website/app/SaaS/etc, and if it needs to be up 24/7, then that almost certainly means that it’s being used globally, or at least across several timezones. So, hire a team in another time

I will never understand the sentiment that macOS has been “dumbed down.” It’s a zsh shell with BSD utils. 99% of my shell setup/tools on Linux just work on macOS. I can easily install the gnu utils if I want 99.9% similarity. I very ha

There is a frustrating amount of nuance being lost in this discussion, and as usual it's devolving into tribalism. However, I'll say that, while this clearly is not Microsoft's fault, the realization of just how much crit

Are. You. Kidding. Windows servers are “niche” compared to Linux servers. Command line knowledge is not “uncommon expertise,” it’s imo the bare minimum for working in tech.

Okay, so (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread), connect the offline box to an online NAS with the tightest security between the two humanly possible. You can get the relevant data out to those who need it. This stuff isn't impossible

I hate to be the guy that's like "Nix is the solution," but...Nix is the solution. Nearly every corporate machine that needs to run Windows should run it as a VM on a NixOS base, unless there is an extremely good reason not t

The most concerning thing about this is the realization of just how many incredibly critical systems run on Windows.

Does anyone want or like motion smoothing? It’s seemingly universally hated by a majority of those who care (myself included), and a minority of those who don’t. Why are TV manufacturers so dead-set on shoving it down our throats?

They should have called it PowerScript, because it's a perfectly decent scripting language and an absolutely horrendous interactive shell language.
