jhoward321··on We've built an open-source feature flag server for 11 years
Regarding number two, that's what I designed featureflip to handle. It tracks dead flags and will submit a pull request to your repository to remove it for you. That's always been a big pain point of mine with launch darkly.

There are a number of providers that provide flat-rate or near flat-rate pricing in this space. I'll go ahead and recommend featureflip.io as one such example. ConfigCat is another common one.

I am affiliated with featureflip but it does a ton of the same things for a sane price.

jhoward321··on Electric scooter ban increased congestion by 10% in Atlanta
To be fair, the issue is probably not going to be as evident downtown. Go over to the east side in old fourth ward or inman park and I think you'd have come to a different conclusion.

Try installing koreader - it works great with calibre
jhoward321··on reMarkable 2
Honestly I've loved mine, but its definitely not for everyone. The standard software is pretty lacking, and the cloud features are meh. If you're willing to apply the DDVK patches, and an additional launcher it becomes a joy to use. Koreader for reading, regular software for writing is a joy. Oxide is a great launcher for easily switching apps. You can setup syncthing via ssh. The hardware is great, and having ssh access was what sold me on it.
jhoward321··on US Gross Domestic Product, Second Quarter 2022 (Advance Estimate)
They didn't redefine recession, that's been defined by NBER. I agree there's some spin, but this statement isn't correct.
jhoward321··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
I mean that sounds like problems with one wifi card which can be swapped out for about $30. Swap it out for something like the ax200 and I bet those problems go away
jhoward321··on .NET 5.0
There will be no future .NET framework versions so I believe he's correct. .NET 5 is a new version of .net core
jhoward321··on AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review
If only it were easier to buy these. All the major retailers were sold out before the chips showed up on the site. The only people who managed to get them were via direct links to the listings.

"CEO". This company has 2 listed employees on LinkedIn and they don't have a functioning website.
jhoward321··on I think Catalina 10.15.4 broke SSH
I've never had a problem with my 4k in fedora, but I only have a single monitor
jhoward321··on Firefox 75 on Wayland now to have full WebGL, working VA-API acceleration
Unless it's changed in the last month or so, no.
jhoward321··on Wine 5.0
That's only the changes from that particular release candidate. If you go look at the other RC changelists you'll see the actual list is much larger
jhoward321··on Fifteen Years of Fedora
Been using Fedora since Fedora Core 5... it sure has come a long way since then
jhoward321··on The Missing Computer Skills of High School Students
Every consider trying WSL? It's built into windows and gives you a full linux shell
jhoward321··on How Children in a Maya Village Do Chores
Well in both cases North/South America and Africa/Eurasia are on different tectonic plates.
jhoward321··on AMD Ryzen 7 2700X gets overclocked to break the 6GHz barrier
Different chips have different limits. I used to do some of this competitively back in the day. Different architectures can't get as high max frequencies, some respond differently under the extreme cold. These records are typically done using liquid nitrogen or phase change cooling and a lot of chips will freeze up below a certain temperature. Then its also a toss up between different individual cpus of the same model. It's a bit of a crapshoot.
jhoward321··on Illinois pension benefits have grown six times faster than state revenues
They'll just leave, like they're already doing. Illinois already has net decreasing taxable revenue, driving out the wealthy tax payers just exacerbates the issue.
jhoward321··on Free Client for OneDrive on Linux
Been using this for months with mixed success. Used to crash all the time but ever since the last update the bugs seem to have been worked out. Great project
