jensenbox··on Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
I was Youtubing this last weekend and ran down quite the rabbit hole. This all seems like mumbojumbo to me.

I could not derive a single piece of solid science in any of it.

It was remarkable how much content there was on this subject with little to no actual information - enjoy:

jensenbox··on Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
Can I use it with just plain HTML? I would love the marketing site to look just like the application if at all possible.
jensenbox··on World's deepest, largest underground lab operational
Missed opportunity in naming it.

I wish it was DA-URF. Then you could say we have a lab, it is deep in DA-URF.

jensenbox··on Developer account removed by Apple
Every time I read one of these stories, the first thought I have is: "We should be pushing to have PWA be more robust and be positioned as a first class citizen".

My thinking is that would remove the need for a singular approval process. Liberating all developers to build what they want.

Of course security is always a concern. PWA in sandboxes of some sort sounds like the best path forward.

jensenbox··on Google lays off employees working on its voice assistant
From the other news sources I looked at, this happened on August 1, 2023 - or is this a new one?
jensenbox··on RIP to my 8-port Unifi switch after years and years of Texas outdoor temps
I am hearing a several people saying "they are moving away from Ubiquiti" but none say exactly what they are moving to or in past tense what they moved to.

What are you all moving to?

jensenbox··on Turning an old car into a powerful generator
The entire time I was watching this I was thinking that a PID controller is exactly what is needed here.

Any idea why he did not opt for that?

Heck, he could have hacked the cruise controller itself to set the "speed" to 60 Hz.

jensenbox··on Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git [video]
Is there a pronunciation key for the name?
jensenbox··on Minimal downtime major PostgreSQL version upgrades with pg_easy_replicate
I know I am going to get fairly polarized responses on this one...

Too bad it is written in Ruby.

What is the difference in size on disk between the two options?
jensenbox··on The NixOS Foundation’s Call to Action: S3 Costs Require Community Support
Why is Backblaze with their B2 solution not on their list?

From what I recall they'll cover your initial egress costs.

jensenbox··on Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
Did I miss something or is there no Ubuntu or Debian installer?

I certainly know how to download a file and add it to my path (or put it in my personal bin directory) but sure would be nice to have a super simple installer.

LOL - please do not make a snap or whatever the hell the "cool kids" use. I certainly wouldn't want to advocate continued use of that pattern for utility functions.

jensenbox··on Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
It stands for the sound you make when you cat a binary file.
jensenbox··on Fluent 2 Design System
I took a 15 second review of this "Design System" and was woefully under-impressed. They are still using far too small of fonts and half serif/sans serif typefaces that are way too Optima-esque.

I just get the same old feeling that MS has no idea what good looks and feels like.

I am sad mostly because there is probably someone in the org saying "We cannot go too far away from what is established here or else how would we be different?!!!?!"

You don't have to be different, you have to be usable.

jensenbox··on JunoDB: PayPal’s Key-Value Store Goes Open-Source
I would imagine that this project was a Not Invented Here sort of thing when Redis was presented as an option.

Total conjecture on my part.

Had this been Python I would be all over it.
jensenbox··on SD Memory Card Formatter for Linux
Reverse engineering what makes this tool special sounds like a fun weekend project :)

But to download it you have to agree to not do exactly that :(
