I know I’ll probably get banned for calling this out but I find it disgusting that silicon valley was crucifying Brian Armstrong for his “no politics at work” stance but now everyone is back to kissing the ring now that he’s made everyone

This gets posted here every so often but to be honest it still isn’t demystified for me even on the third read.

This is why running something like VSCode on your Mac with the remote ssh dev setup is the best of all worlds. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview Virtualized Linux on x86 AND being able to r

If you don’t absolutely need a local VM I’ve found it much nicer to have a beefy ec2 instance be the Linux vm that you connect to in order to work in Linux on x86. Recently I’ve been doing this with VSCode which has a remote dev mode that w

You poor souls running windows... even Linux can do this with mostly no fuss today.

This is a compelling laptop I wonder if the build quality will compare with Lenovo. 15.6 inch screen at 1920×1080? That’s barely OK but not great for a laptop in 2021.

Seriously, if I had a problem with a dell XPS laptop I’d have throw it away. Repair after 7 years? I think Dell would laugh in your face. Lenovo and Apple are the only brands that even remotely stand by their products after even a couple of

Yeah of course, I just think instead of all this “it could be in rust talk” let’s just get it over with.

Seems like re-writing it with extra steps.

Why doesn’t he rewrite it in rust then and do himself a favor going forward?

Yeah this is great but the power of git is kinda in its ubiquity like bash or cURL it’s everywhere and the lowest common denominator. I can’t help another dev if they need this installed for me to be helpful, etc... I really wish changes li

I don’t think Apple would bat an eye if Facebook decided to not publish their software on their platform.

This is total trash, I've had my M1 MacBook Air for >2 months and it shows 0% used. I've got the 512GB SSD / 16GB ram model. I'm using it HARD for 12 hours a day so YMMV...

Can someone explain why you'd ever want to run this in the non-dryrun mode? I understand that if you have these problems you've already effectively granted those permissions anyway but actually executing them before someone finds

Does setting CPU to cortex-a72 mean that it runs natively on the m1 or with minimal translation?

Eh, no websocket for prices? I like finnhub ( https://finnhub.io ) or alpaca ( https://alpaca.markets/ ) better.

Yeah and sadly using the index in those scenarios could be even more worth it due to the high selectivity it has. Is PG smart enough to avoid that if the query patterns are frequently or exclusively covered by the index?

Giving people who don’t understand margin a margin account is the easiest way to have them blow themselves up financially. Most people think that this leverage is free, it’s not, and it multiplies your risk. If you are wrong you’ll be twice

Well he’s using a three year old version of Ubuntu and lots has happened in three years. Some of those points still stick but gnome on wayland has gotten a heck of a lot smoother because of performance improvements.

This was the first Linux I ever used. I still have the official MkLinux book somewhere at my parents house. Great memories! I used KDE and it was rock solid and worked well. I think I had it on my beige G3. The HD eventually died and was re

Yes I do. I love my Linux setup but I was getting sick of my computer performing like dogshit when I needed to be on a video call screen share AND do something at the same time.

I have the M1 MacBook Air and it’s best computer I’ve ever owned, hands down. Brought me back to Mac from my X1 carbon 6th gen running Linux (arch btw). The machine itself? - Faster than blue blazes - Dead silent - Cold to

Today it’s just fine. I think a decade ago it was pretty risky but databases take 10 years to do properly.

Did you know that the Linux kernel has a bug that makes CPU limits for containers extra costly? https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577 https://github.com/torvalds/linux&#x2
