drewbailey··on Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIP
AeroSpace is really nice for i3 like tiling on macOS https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace
drewbailey··on Oxide raises $200M Series C
Congratulations to the team. Oxide & Friends, Bryan, Adam & Team are such a valuable resource to our community. Their podcast is amazing, the problems they encounter, and their willingness to share with the rest of us is not taken for granted!
drewbailey··on Vouch
Its a personal project? Do you truly believe that individuals are required to have the foresight into how their project will get adopted or viewed by the community that it would require them to create a separate github account to host it under?
drewbailey··on The Great Unwind
> We saw silver drop 40% which hasn't happened since 1980

40% pullback but still up 150% over the past year..

drewbailey··on Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes
K8s just drowns out all other options. Hashicorp Nomad is great, https://www.nomadproject.io/
drewbailey··on Federal Reserve raises rates by 0.75%
75 basis points == 0.75%
drewbailey··on YouTube TV loses ESPN, ABC and other Disney channels in fee dispute
For what it’s worth they are reducing their pricing by $15 while they figure it out.
drewbailey··on Roblox has been down for days and it’s not because of Chipotle
Roblox has 43+ million daily active users. The issue you are wildly speculating about is enormously small compared to their size and scale. I guarantee you they’ve dealt with that potential issue (if they even are using Postgres) years ago.
drewbailey··on Show HN: PBJ Live – Add live streaming to any app or website in ~6 LOC
The landing page seems to provide absolutely zero information other than giving off the impression that something may be taking an extremely long time to load.

Edit: Seems to just be completely broken in Firefox...

drewbailey··on Apple acquires Dark Sky
Yes, Foreca, ClimaCell are good, AccuWeather, Aeris Weather and MeteoGroup are also available.

Android users looking for an alternative, CARROT is fun, accurate, and worth the money

drewbailey··on Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 days
How do you monitor this? The 90% over capacity, would like to see where mine is at
drewbailey··on Show HN: TabNine, an autocompleter for all languages
To allow the person(s) who implemented it to get paid for their efforts and hard work?
drewbailey··on Amazon HQ2: Advanced talks about second headquarters in Northern Virginia
Not only that but AWS is already in northern VA. They operate gov-cloud out of there as well. It’s already established. This is Amazon not AWA
drewbailey··on Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge
Regardless it helped them initially scale and attract users by shipping features and focusing on proving their business. Down the road as they attracted users they kept their rails core but started adding in other systems that were met their performance needs.

Rails allows companies to grow quickly and focus on attracting users and delivering business value at the sacrifice of a re-write or complexity of managing rails and performance issues down the road.

drewbailey··on Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge
I'm not sure why this continually comes as such a surprise on HN. It's a mature framework with tons of community involvement and 3rd party gems to help ship features out the door.

The vast amount of projects and internal tools out there don't need to be "webscale" or process millions of requests a minute.

drewbailey··on Inside Apple's Global War on Leakers
Maybe not for all parts of the U.S. campuses, sure. Those facilities aren't producing hundreds of thousands of new iPhones everyday. It wouldn't surprise me if there were similar security measures in place for areas where prototypes and sensitive information are handled though.

drewbailey··on Instagram is down completely
East coast US seems to be working fine.
drewbailey··on Tmux and Vim – better together
Not once does the article mention Bugsnag or try to market their product. Who is to stop an enthusiastic engineer from sharing a workflow they find useful. The article has great content and powerful visuals to help convey their point. I'm happy to see companies not try to influence authors to plug their product in their blog posts.
drewbailey··on What city is the microbrew capital of the US?
Rankings aside, I thought the data was very well presented and the visual story telling aspect was nicely done. Great use of SVG animations.
drewbailey··on USA Facts – Federal, state, and local data from government sources
Yeah I got a Cloudflare DDOS check then a 503. Non HTTPS seems to be working, http://usafacts.org/
drewbailey··on Election Commission of India throws “open challenge” to hack voting machines
Ignorant question, do these kinds of challenges open up risk to someone being able to test the system, find vulnerabilities and then not disclose them so that they can be exploited when the election actually comes around?
drewbailey··on Text Editor Performance Comparison
I would be interested in seeing vim, nvim, and emacs performance using a slew of plugins to get to the point where their functionality is close to the features that sublime/atom/vscode have out of the box.
drewbailey··on Show HN: MVC with ReactJS
You need to use a modern browser in order to access the requested page.

Is the latest safari on iOS not modern enough these days?
