   I was going to come here and ask about better alt-text until I read the linked page you referred to ( https://bighack.org/how-to-write-better-alt-text-description... ). I still have a question about a sight-impaired person&#

   I used this for several years before switching to Redshift (simply because it's built into my distribution's packaging). The only benefit I've found of Redshift over f.lux is that the transition at dusk and dawn is gradual i

   I was really hoping this was a very quiet video streaming service ... I'm not a MacOS user so I can't take it for a test-drive but I'd like to say congratulations on launching!

   There's an organism I have seen referenced in a while ... in the first half of the last decade, my daughter who's now a doctoral candidate in human genetics at JHU did research in a lab right next door to the famous "worm sha

   I was assigned an Apple rMBP in 2012 and ended up installing Linux on it precisely because you couldn't trust the file system. In my case, I had a directory with a specific name in lower-case, and without realizing it, created a file

   I've got an (old) Samsung Galaxy S4 that I've stuck with because it suits my needs and it still works well. Knowing that it will eventually die, I guess I have two questions I'd love to have answered by Pinephone owners: 1)

   Since we use Gitlab for private repositories and Github for public ones, the main irritation I find is that even those two aren't completely compatible. From a standards perspective, the "official" seems to be supported ever

    I've recently switched from Markdown to ASCIIDoc ... the article makes it sound like the browser is optimized for text but isn't it really the server that's rendering the text that's sent? In this case, I like the idea

    This should be marked with [2016]. Personally, I've switched to ASCIIDoc (after looking at reStructured Text) because Markdown has too many variants and they don't consistently extend the markup the same way (a document that look

    I've watched every one of his videos ... at least out of the corner of my eye. The length of these videos and the small amount of talking makes them somehow relaxing.

    Until Krew, I manually installed the Kubernetes plugins that I wanted and it resulted in a continual process of discovering my plugins were out of date. Installing Krew will save you time!

    Agreed ... but as noted elsewhere in this thread, your chance of getting a Wildfly (e.g.) application running in Quarkus and compiled to native via GraalVM is pretty small unless you've got a pretty standard CRUD application. We run i

    As someone who's spent much of the last 20 years writing J2EE, Java EE and Jakarta EE projects, the answer is definitely that with containers and container orchestration, no one believes it anymore. Our new services are written in Go

    It's been a word for a long time ... we used that when we were kids (at least in earshot of our parents). Searching for "dang" in Algolia results in (by a quick count) more than 80% of the results being for @dang (the person

    I read it twice trying to figure out why you were invoking @dang. In any case, I've had the same experience with only two programs - CouchDB and Redis.

    Those will go through much tougher ground than a vibrating plough, but they're also much slower and you can see the trench when it's done. With the plough, we'd typically go through the gravel berm along the road and you&#x2

    True ... I should have used the word "premium" instead to represent the economic difference in the unit price and associated margins.

    Apparently if you're not dramatically over-charging for your consumer technology products, you can't afford brick-and-mortar locations. Those who do pay for the premium platform should realize that not (nearly) all of the additio

    I read it as "Fail Whale" ... between aging eye-sight and on-and-off-again dyslexia, I didn't really stand a chance. OTOH ... awesome article - thanks for sharing!
