Interesting! I’m very much the opposite. I never liked autocomplete or suggestions in text boxes (to a certain extent, e.g. I have common things like name and address saved in my password manager to suggest autofill for online shopping or w

I have a fairly skeptical view on the current AI hype cycle and the people pushing it as a panacea, and it has been somewhat personally frustrating to see AI being shoved into every product. To me it seems Yann is one of the few leaders in

A few years back Moxie (of Signal) put up a video[0] of a quiet leaf blower which was pretty sweet. His design appears to be quieter than this one. Either way this is great, as a person highly sensitive of sound I support all technologies t

I’ve written a fair amount of production code in a bunch of different languages and despite years of experience I still usually reference a syntax cheat sheet or something for most languages (python being an exception at this point). Like o

It’s similar. I liked Hetzner for their affordable bare-metal offerings, but found their interfaces to be fairly clunky. Linode and Vultr (and Digital Ocean) have a nicer web based interface. I think you can find benchmarks online comparing

https://fly.io and https://vultr.com I used Fly as a modern successor to Heroku (I know Heroku is still around). Features are good, scaling to 0 is great, their networking stuff is solid, and pricing is fair. I gener

I honestly don't understand what objecting to them as a sponsor does. Sponsorship benefits the project for everyone. Is the objection to both the sponsorship and their presence in the conference? Folks who don't want to engage wit

Sure, but that's an orthogonal point to the one OP made isn't it? Contributing to open source projects is incompatible with not wanting someone else to use your work based on ideological differences. Perhaps contributors don&#x2

There are two licenses that include restrictions like that that I know of: - https://github.com/raisely/NoHarm/blob/publish/LICENSE.md - https://firstdonoharm.dev/

But the software licensing explicitly allows your work being used by anyone (as long as they adhere to the license). If you don't want your work to be used by entities you disagree with you can not contribute to the project or advocate

You can build containers with nix, but they’re completely different. One is an operating system built around a package manager and the other is a containerization tool. More appropriate comparisons would be: - NixOS and Ubuntu - nix and apt

I currently have the 2019 16” MacBook Pro and it’s thinner than the new chassis. I like the form factor better, though I’ll likely upgrade soon happily for better performance and power efficiency.

Wins looks really good, and congratulations on having sold so many licenses! This is just my opinion, but I think you’ve priced too low. It’s an interesting balance and I don’t know the magic formula to pricing but before I looked at the pr

My understanding of passkeys was that they replace passwords, but a few places where I’ve seen them implemented just use passkeys as a second factor, NOT a replacement for passwords themselves. Can anyone who knows more about passkeys expla
