I don't love their pricing but it's not brutal like others I've seen. We run 3 clusters - one of which is an old legacy cluster that was our original and despite Nutanix not supporting it officially (meaning we don't pay for support on it), their support has still been helpful with it and like the other 2 clusters, uptime/stability has been rock solid.

Prism Central has definitely gotten better with the UI since the earlier days. I still prefer Prism Element in some cases, but overall it all works pretty well.

We use HYCU for backups and while I was really skeptical about it in the beginning, it is absolutely solid in a Nutanix environment. Overall we are happy with Nutanix.

Nutanix has served us well over the last 8 or so years.

As it relates to gambling with botulism and fermentation, it's a non-issue.

When my wife was diagnosed with T2D, we went through the typical process many do - meet with a dietician, learn what to eat and how much, learn about insulin types and injections, etc. etc. She followed the process to the letter, and what we saw was the insulin injections make you gain weight, weight gain causes more insulin resistance, more insulin resistance means more insulin, more insulin means more weight gain, and on and on you go in this cycle that gets worse over time.

We researched more and more and found cutting out carbs heavily helped more than anything else, but she still needed some insulin. When mounjaro started getting a lot of attention, she tried that along with metformin. With those two drugs combined, she was able to get completely off insulin. She lost the weight gain from the 2 years of insulin, which reduced her resistance. She started having hypoglycemia and was able to reduce the metformin by half to get back to normal levels.

Her A1C is now 5.5 and has been < 6 for over a year now. Although the metformin was recommended by her endocrinologist, both the carb change in diet and trying mounjaro was something she had to take upon herself, none of her docs told us about this.

It's an absolute shame, and it feels like you're meant to be kept sick if you go strictly by the guidance from the ADA and even the doctors.

It has already been pirated by various groups and made available for download assuming you have the bandwidth. Unbelievable. Big Sky has to make money somewhere.

I've been using Kagi since June of 2022, daily. I had to use Google the other day because I was on someone else's PC and in that moment I was reminded just how awful Google's search has become. You genuinely see how you're the product when you use Google these days.

I'm just here to say how much I love htmx! Thank you so much for all the work put into it!

Please note the name of the recipe.

It is not about the money for me, and also I'm happy to support the artists and regularly do by buying their vinyl when I can.

It is about the fact at any time Spotify, Apple, etc can remove music from my playlist for any reason and at any time. It's about the fact they require me to use their invasive, spyware, data mining BS apps in order to listen to my music. It is about the fact that when I want to listen to music in my car, I have to listen to it using the way they say I can.

I can't believe I have adult friends who really don't care about their personal privacy or freedoms and are ready to give it up at a moments notice for convenience.

I use Kagi every single day, ever since the beta. I don't remember the last time I used that other search engine, the G one..can't remember the name. Anyway, absolutely love Kagi and the work you guys do. Thank you!

Kind of tired of things like this dropping into our software and no one really knows definitively what it is, what it's for, how it might be used, etc. My mac is mine, I paid handsomely for it, I'd like Apple to treat it like it is mine.

It's like someone walking into your house and installing a little block box in the corner of the room and walking out, and maybe later on they'll let you know what they're doing with this device but maybe not.

This will be my last mac unfortunately, which is a pity because I do love the hardware.

The Mozilla CEO earned $6,903,089 in 2022 up from $5.6 million in 2021, while Firefox continues to lose market share. If you think Mozilla's priorities are tied to making Firefox the best browser on the Internet, at least in terms of privacy, freedom, and features, you're seriously blind.

Al Jazeera on the front of HN? Is Alex Jones and Enquirer coming up next?

I absolutely despise this kind of language that is becoming so commonplace now and is obvious BS. I wish I could pay my bills to these same companies using language like this. "It's not that I didn't pay my bill, it's just that some dollars may experience longer-than-usual time to get to your bank."

This is absolutely fantastic, thank you!

Man I LOVED the Black Art of Windows Game Programming! I was in high school when that book came out and I grabbed it as I was curious about game development and development in general. Although it was over my head at the time, 25+ years later into my development career and I credit this book in having had a huge impact on that as it really furthered my interest in programming. Thank you!

I really despise this trend of companies not acknowledging their product or service is down, but instead simply say their service is 'degraded'. On top of that, they will use language like 'some users'.

Be open about it: your service is stone cold down and no one can use it. Cut out the stupid business speak.

If a user can't switch to another OS, you can run Windows Server. I run that in my home lab when I have to use a Windows based OS for certain scenarios.

Really fun little game, I averaged mid 30,000s. That year slider though...

Right, also while we're at it let's not blame Saddam Hussein, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, etc. for their deeds but instead blame whatever happened 2 generations before them. Maybe even sainthood for those fine gentlemen, right?

This article is so biased and wreaks of Iranian state funded propaganda I'm going to need a shower to wash the stink off after reading it. Give me a break. This si not HN material.

Looking for Universe SDK in case you have a link

Some of these 'auditors' do OK work (referenced auditor not included), and I think it's necessary. Unfortunately many of them think that part of auditing is treating public servants like complete garbage to try and get a negative response that they can capitalize on with views and attention. This completely defeats the purpose of the work that should be done, and treating public servants as less than is unacceptable, whether it's a LEO or a clerk at a local town hall.

These public servants might be wrong when they say you can't film in a particular area, but that is an opportunity for education and not an opportunity to treat them like crap, and it happens constantly with these people. The 'frauditors' love to remind public servants that they work for them and then use that as an argument to talk to them like they are the lowest forms of life on the planet. It's disgusting and I hope the auditors out there that are doing this work respectfully and honestly are the ones that get the attention in the future.

We've been using Redmine since about 2010 or so. We use it daily for ticket tracking, light PM tasks, and documentation. We've considered moving away from it for years, but our customers love it. These are customers that are extremely large financial institutions and the only thing I can figure is that they are forced to use larger, more complex systems internally (or with other vendors) so they see Redmine as something simple to work with when interfacing with us.

I think it's a great app with a huge amount of flexibility from UI to plugins. It's easy to use, performance is quite good on even lower end hardware, and there is decent documentation if even sometimes dated. We have customers and our internal teams using this app every single day, day in and day out, and it just stays rock solid stable for years on end.

That said, upgrading this thing is an absolute nightmare. And if you need to upgrade the underlying OS you're going to have a bad night or 5. The database design is very abstract so writing ad-hoc queries or trying to fix something manually via the db is not fun at all. I'd seriously rather stub my toe in the middle of the night on an amish made coffee table, twice, than touch this thing on the back end for any purpose.

I happened to watch this recently one night when I couldn't sleep; I figured it was just some old 70s low budget movie that'd put me to sleep.

Holy hell, this turned out to be one of the scariest movies I have ever watched in my life, and I don't scare easily from movies. Needless to say I don't recommend watching as a sleep aid. Or maybe for any aid. Ever.

My Wife has had a small home-based business for 10 years and her customers pay through PayPal about 50% of the time. It was going great until she had a major surgery and put her business on hold for a few months. When she was able to resume, PayPal decided, seemingly arbitrarily, to hold all customer payments for 21 business days going forward because her sales had dropped. That's all, that's the reason that was given to her.

As a small business, this is devastating and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it unless she increases her sales back to what they were previously, which unfortunately is unlikely given the inflation and economy here in the US. Anyone who runs a small business knows that you need cash to buy more inventory, and if your liquidity is sitting in PayPal so they can get interest on it, your sales are going to slow way, way down.

In 10 years (nearly 11) she has had one customer complaint through PayPal. The customer said she never received her item because, according to the customer herself, it was stolen from her porch after USPS delivered it. In what world is that the seller's fault? Only in PayPal's (and apparently this particular customer).

That is an incredible track record given that period of time and the number of sales she has had (10s of thousands of purchases over that period).

Many of her customers have said they would go elsewhere if she drops PayPal as a payment provider, which will only make things worse (much of her business is repeat business, like 80%).

PayPal finds or manufactures reasons to hold the money you worked your butt off to earn so they can sit on it and, I guess, earn interest. You have no recourse. Zero.

Stay far away from PayPal.

Very cool tool but way, way overpriced.

I'm a little surprised the article doesn't mention using a key file in conjunction with a password as an added security measure.

As a teenager I once had a summer job as a land surveyor in North Carolina. We saw this stuff all over the place, acre after acre on many jobsites that were deep in the woods or very rural areas. I think this article is underestimating how much kudzu actually has taken over.

Thank you and the team for all the hard work! i3/gaps has always been my favorite twm.

To be clear, it was 40k requests and not $40k in requests?
