Minor error in the video that was kind of funny, at about 1:00 it says you can now load "HUGE images!" but the text added in editing says 1200x1500, off by an order of magnitude :D

This seems like troll bait. The ELI5 version is that rich people and police are scary, so big companies have to please them. I'm not sure if you live in a communist nation, because people who really don't want to be censored are w

It's a packaging / communication problem. "Computer science" is a term that no longer fits the mental model of the general population's idea. Basically nobody is thinking "Computers? Of course! You mean the lam

Soapboxing your random opinion and thinly veiling it as if it's in context here is pretty tasteless. Any store you visit has cameras, websites might too. Recordings aren't necessarily associated with identity or used to track or i

Every community slides into its own stereotype like becoming a caricature of itself, but it's not objectively a bad thing, just strange to outsiders while the regulars are just fine with HN as it is. Oops, I mean LinkedIn.

Except that the behavior of creating a new tab via the + button vs. CMD+T (in Mac) is that one of them creates a tab in the active container and one of them does not. This is a dealbreaker for me and kills the hype. https://githu

Samba is SO SLOW in Mac as well. My gigabit local ethernet connection is somehow slower than my internet connection. Anyone have suggestions of what to use besides SMB?

This is an important point. My customers don't love outages (who does?) but I've had them and it doesn't really hurt that badly. My products aren't that critical. They're understanding as long as you communicate.

When my SaaS app started scaling, I saw how badly cloud can be priced if you have even slightly unusual use-cases. It occurred to me that instead of spending ~$600/mo on GCP, I can invest in a $3000 PowerEdge server with much better ha
