Thanks, it's a wifi-enabled network receiver that does not have HDMI, only SPDIF. So I guess without buying an additional hardware adapter I could get there by connecting the NUC via HDMI to my TV which is already connected to the rece

Not gp but here's a possible answer: I usually require db migrations to have a "down" script as well but "down" is never applied automatically. I only auto-apply "up", and when a rollback is needed (which

A quick search for "rust", "kotlin" and "cpp" on npmjs.com shows a lot of packages. Not all are language tools, but I see stuff like linters, interpreters, compilers and lots of stuff related to WASM compilatio

My usual setup is pretty simple with each service in its own git repository with a Gitlab pipeline: * build code * run tests (unit + integration using database) * build docker image * push to gitlab registry * deploy to staging

I want to look more into this because one player for Tidal/Spotify and my own library sounds very interesting. Is there a way I can set this up right now when all I have is a Yamaha Receiver and an older Pi (and an older intel nuc), It

Funny that you linked that specific video. That video and the concept of the Wall of Awful is something I use a lot when trying to explain my situation to others. It sounds like motivating yourself to do something you have to do is hard (

No pressure, I just want to let you know the option is there if you want it (and that counts for other HN users as well). Contact details are in my profile. I recognize the guilt feelings. Be careful of vicious cycles related to this. For m

In Flemish (and probably Dutch but not sure) the word paternoster is used for rosary beads. I had never heard of the paternoster lift before now but just hearing the name made it immediately clear to me what it was.

I completely agree that they should not show up. It looks like I went lightly over that sentence and focussed more on the one after: > Some of those keys are related to people who bought it, or who searched for it, or more indirectly who

My comment was an expansion on GPs second bullet point. It’s not Google that knows about the purchase, but Google that “somehow” picked up contextual info from OPs environment linking OPs online identity to Voltaren as a product. Edit: the

Unless you are married or in a committed relationship, then it becomes n-1 where n = the number at which your significant other leaves you.

I don’t think Google linked the account directly to the purchase. My guess would be that Google linked the account to the medication based on patterns from one of its many ways it gathers data. * visits to websites about that medication * v

I’m not insisting on anything, sorry if I might have offended you, that was definitely not the intent. I assumed that you might have started later than the author because you compared the current state to just a few years ago, while the art

If using babeljs for cross browser support is your starting point, then you likely started way later then the article author. Go back a few more years to 2005 or even earlier. If you wanted a website you installed Apache on a server (or use

Yes, we definitely want similar things. Maybe it was not clear from my original reply but I’m not saying the document paradigm is bad and we should move away from it. The document paradigm has evolved for 25 years and it is the right fit fo

My ideal solution would be that we can add accessibility apis to canvas. That means we can write GUI toolkits in any language compiling to wasm using canvas apis. Those toolkits gain accessibility support through canvas. edit: some toolkits

HTML, the dom, css and JS in browsers are far from simple. IMHO we’ve been tacking on more and more “application stuff” on top of a document viewer since the mid 90s. The whole reason React and other virtual dom frameworks exist is to wrang

Don’t forget that pretty much all software that touches medical data will have to go through various approval and regulatory processes. Which sometimes take up even more time than actually writing the software. Hence high costs in this indu

Desperation does not greenlight creepy behaviour indeed. But keep in mind that a cohort of people does not have the necessary skills to know where the line is (some forms of autism for example). Not having those skills can lead to situation

Don’t know about web support these days but a lot of mobile and desktop apps use a pattern of having a local SQLite db which is “synced” to a remote database using a sync protocol. That sync protocol could be anything (rest, rpc, graphql, o

Indeed, I see TF mostly as an automation/idempotency tool for setting up and maintaining infrastructure components like Kubernetes clusters, ECS clusters, load balancers and all that. Something you would normally do with gcloud or aws-

Use Terraform for bringing up the Kubernetes cluster and other related cloud resources (storage, load balancers, DNS, etc). Once you have a cluster up and running you can just use kubernetes yml to manage the cluster. It is possible to also

Agreed. Most medications work by correcting a chemical imbalance. If I understand it correctly it kind of makes our brain work more like that of someone without ADHD. With similar balances. So I do see ADHD medication as similar to eyeglass

I experimented with this some weeks ago and it is certainly possible. I had a PoC where my server runs Rust, exposes a JSON Rest API using serde to serialize my Rust structs to JSON. On the web Client I compiled Rust to wasm and used the Re
