That's a fair point. I added an update to the Privacy section. I really don't care about these spam emails, plus Gsuite only offers 30 GB for the plan I purchased. After processing, the emails will be sent to Gmail's trash, w

Yeah, Gmail is nice because it shows a little gray unsubscribe link that they pluck out. I use Thunderbird with Protonmail and it doesn't have that... and I really don't want to go back to Gmail :/

Whoops. I didn't realize that "Launch HN" indicated it originated from YC. I'd change it, but I don't think I can.

That's a fair point. I didn't realize they embedded login links, unless you explicitly do something. For example with now.sh/Vercel: https://vercel.com/login?with-email=1 I'll probably create rules that

Yeah, that's the main problem. They've made it a lot easier, because now you're not required to sign-in -- which is why this product works. I just pay my high-school sister $15/hour to manually dig through the links and

I get a lot of junk mail haha. It's like any time I purchase something from Walmart or Newegg, they subscribe me to like 5 mailing lists. I wanted something where I could bulk select items in my inbox and have someone else deal with it

Could someone with more background in these electrical devices shed some light? This looks really cool, but I'm a little confused. Looks like this is very new tech?

Wow! This looks _really, really_ promising. I can't believe they got it to run on the 5280-logic-cell Lattice chip. This is perfect for a low-cost FPGA + soft-core platform. I'm going to try out gcc RISC-V compilation and see if I

I made a similar distinction in high school. We used to have 20-question multiple-choice comprehension quizzes on our readings. It was incredibly easy to get 90-100% scores. This is a test of recognition. However, writing a summary or analy

Yeah... I've got a small anecdote. I find that I write better code on lower resolution screens. Right now, I'm on a 1440x900 display at 75 dpi. And it's annoying, for sure. But it keeps my code concise and well-organized. It

Yessir. Originally inspired by a db system called "Ingress", it was called "Postgres" then eventual PostgreSQL to emphasize the SQL part

Ah, I should have explained better. Page load isn't really my main concern. I used to embed dynamic graphs (Metabase or D3.js) and my laptop would lag like crazy plotting all of those points and allowing for hover tooltips (which were

I wish Spice worked better. Right now I'm running my workstation on a server KVM instance. Spice too laggy for me. VNC works great. Although, I leave a connected tty backgrounded with Spice -- the audio works seamlessly. Small bits of

Xrdp has been buggy for me as an RDP server... but... it's been a godsend as a VNC proxy. The student computers at my lab run Windows and do not allow user's to install software or run foreign executables. They have great monitors

I think this is a better link and should have been posted instead. These sound samples are pretty wild! Scary accurate.

Yeah, I guess a better word is "statusbar" or "workspace bar". It just displays the currently selected workspaces, the current window's title, and dwmstatus. The point is that it doesn't try to manage buttons a

I agree to an extent. I'll admit, there is much more under the surface of dwm that 2000 lines of source code. It's all abstractions in the end. But Gnome and KDE are more likely to have bugs because they cover such a wide scope. I

Huh, didn't know about QuestDB either. Looks super interesting. I use PostgreSQL + Metabase for my time series IoT stuff, lots of temperature sensors. This almost looks faster and easier. Will look into it. Thanks for sharing!

This comment strikes home. The "bug-space" is so much smaller, and definitely possible for a lone newcomer to grasp in a day or two

I've been using the same dwm config for nearly eight years at this point. Can't beat it :) It's followed me from Arch to Ubuntu to Void

Persistence between alternate shells is pretty nifty though. I think that's the main gimmick.
