Is it, really?

With Windows you can just download an app.

With MacOS you sometimes need to pick between Intel or Apple Silicon.

For Linux you invariably have to navigate list of Deb or RPM, perhaps TarGz files, maybe a torrent or two.

Sticking with apt can lead to a list of issues of ensuring you have the right dependencies.

Let’s start before that : With Windows the OS usually comes pre installed, with Macs, always.

Linux - with one to pick? Ubuntu, PopOS, Elementary?

Oh, so you picked Ubuntu - congratulations - now which DE? Or should you pick a derivative such as Mint first?

I’m a huge fan of Linux servers - I think they’re so easy to work with on a server level even with many of the same issues I described above and I’m actively ripping out every Windows server in our environment and replacing it with Linux.

But I still, after all these years, can’t seem to pick a Desktop Linux platform that I feel comfortable with. And this after 40 years in the industry.

Whilst effort in this space is to be congratulated, a job board is only as good as the quality and quantity of the roles offered.

What makes your site any better than the other numerous boards out there?

Why would Acme Inc be drawn to posting jobs with your site and why would Jane Appleseed want to go there to find a new job?

In other countries, maybe, but what we’re experiencing in the US seems very much based upon “lie” based media consumption.

Right now we have political candidates who will cheerfully, and without pause, tell lies and use any form of image manipulation to try and influence the vote - whether this be by traditional means or using AI - and the supporters not only lap it up but then spread this information far and wide.

It used to be that one needed proficiency in a tool to manipulate images, now access to a suitable AI LLM with broken or deliberately weakened safeguards is all that’s needed.

There may be a bit of a gulf between what they claim, and what they can realistically and financially provide.

I prefer to see long term real world results myself before I start to worry about any possible ramifications, myself.

Whilst I’d personally potentially profit from a merger (having earned a chunk of shares from when I used to work for Kroger), I’d personally like to see the merger shitcanned because I seriously doubt it’s going to be anything but a money grab for the corporation.

300ms?

I recently wrote my very first API servers (from-end, back-end and Redis & RabbitMq in between) using .net Core with very little real world knowledge, and I easily get <100ms responses and I know I’m not following best practices.

The biggest issue you may have, TBH, is going to be your backend database queries which is why I use Redis for caching - the same request coming in over the same n minutes gets served directly from cache by the front-end which is a huge time win for the F5’rs amongst our users.

Wasn’t CockroachDB open source, right up until it wasn’t?

I think a better question is perhaps “what alternatives are there that are not owned by VC backed corporations?”

Everyone is different and what works for one person, will be an abject failure for another.

Not sure why the OP feels the need to be so vehement in their opinion.

Do what I can & be cognizant as to the effect my slowness will have.

And if doubt, be honest walk away and take some me time after letting the team know.

A $37.49/$49.99 subscription is one heck of a high price for an app that’s basically a one-trick pony that may get used a few times a year.

I don’t mind paying for apps myself - even subscriptions - but this one’s a hard pass from me.

And yet in the UK banks are now on the hook when a customer is the victim of fraud.

No, that’s at best a bad reason fallacy, at worst a slippery slope.

Thanks for saving me the time to type this out myself, but far better than I could have done.

100% in agreement!

Seems very up to me

Any post that calls an opinion "objective" is an instant fail.

"I will try to convince you that Cirrus CI is objectively better than every other major CI system in existence: GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, and Buildkite.

"objectively adverb in an objective rather than subjective or biased way : with a basis in observable facts rather than feelings or opinions"

This is hardly new...

I've always gotten around it by Long pressing the Back button and then selecting the page to go to. Bypassed your "block" as well...

This is not a big of a find that you think there is. And I'm not sure calling it a "Zero Day" is appropriate either as it doesn't exactly cause much of a problem.

Obsidian- and have been since the early betas.

I’m also grandmothered into the cheaper sync plan which is nice because the sync has always felt rock solid.

The plugins are so numerous that I’ve lost track of what else is available, and the fact that a vast majority work on iOS and iPadOS is a huge win.

Computers use RAM and Water is wet.

Sorry, not seeing the issue here - RAM is designed to be used. Why would it flush it if there’s no pressure?

If one gets high swap then that’s a problem, but until then it’s simply the OS preemptively caching because “why not?”.

If you’ve paid for 8GB then you’d expect the OS to use it. Not sure why anyone would want the OS to purge memory when it doesn’t need to. It costs nothing to keep it ready and the OS can either page it out or get rid of it as and when needed.

This isn’t just Macs - happens on Windows as well.

Also in Georgia.

Granted this seems to be slightly tongue in cheek, but I did wonder more.

Granted web searches are not definitive indicators of anything, but they’re at least a data point.

Think the word I’m thinking of is “Good”.

Not convinced that that, in and of itself, is a dark pattern.

Now using that to essentially get customers to overpay over the year, feels like it might be. Guess it depends on how much you save with them in the first loads using DD.

IIRC @yandex.com is the free email domain they offer.

B&H always keep the website open, regardless of if it’s for Shabbat, or for any of the other Jewish Holy days.

What they do do is block all forms of ordering during Shabbat etc. but they make it clear you’re welcome to browse and (iirc) add items to your cart.

Sounds like the prosecution colluded with police to hide evidence from the defense.

I wonder now if this will also reopen the case for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

Because different people do different things?

Some people love to catalog the collection, to add metadata to it, to know what books and/or editions they have when looking at purchasing more books, and to use it to enhance their overall collections.

Also, care to explain how we can store ebooks on a bookcase?

Unsure what the actual point of this is.

There are plenty of themes for HN available if one doesn’t like the barebones nature of the base site.

Since this does appear to be a total rebuild then does it not only support all the current features of HN, but what else does it do better ?

Right now it seems to fail at being mobile friendly which is a huge fail in this day and age.

Found 2 relevant locales in my area (both well known) then the rest were dating back over 10 years including those by police departments that no longer exist.

So not exactly useful.
