netcyrax··on Amazon to close Book Depository online shop
I located in the EU, but from a small country, and still Book Depository was the only way to get English books at a reasonable price.

netcyrax··on Gambas Almost Means BASIC
That was exactly my thought: that is looks super lightweight - which is a pleasant surprise nowdays. Still, I would prefer another language than BASIC.
netcyrax··on OpenAI tech gives Microsoft's Bing a boost in search battle with Google
Yeah, everyone rushed to try these magic search bots. Didn't heard anyone who gave up search for these.

netcyrax··on From Bing to Sydney
> Here’s the twist, though: I’m actually not sure that these models are a threat to Google after all. This is truly the next step beyond social media, where you are not just getting content from your network (Facebook), or even content from across the service (TikTok), but getting content tailored to you.

This! These LLM tools are great, maybe even for assisting web search, but not for replacing it.

netcyrax··on Fly.io makes infrastructure easy for developers
Is this contabo reliable? Their prices are extremely low (way more than Hetzner).
netcyrax··on Publii: Open-source local WYSIWYG static site CMS
Looks awesome! But why not providing a web interface as well?
netcyrax··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
The Samsung Flip seems like it can solve the problems descibed in the post. Large enough screen when you open it, small enough to fit nicely in your pocket when closed. Of course it's a bit think when it's closes, but we are getting there.
netcyrax··on All you should know about Flutter development
Give Dart a chance :) Felt the same way, turns out it's quite fun.
netcyrax··on Ask HN: Where do you hang out virtually online?
Did you try one of the many tech subreddits on Reddit?
netcyrax··on I built a system that takes pictures of all the airplanes that fly over my house
This is extremely cool!
netcyrax··on Kodi: An Open Source Home Theater System
OSMC (www.osmc.tv) is quite great (based on Kodi).
netcyrax··on GitHub Copilot available for JetBrains and Neovim
Why are people not bothered by privacy concerns in this case?
netcyrax··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
Big fan of eOS. Congrats on the launch!

I always wondered how an open-source project develops from scratch so many different apps (e.g. Web, Mail, Calendar, etc). Why not focusing more on the OS rather than wasting resources on apps that there are mature open-source alternatives (e.g. Thunderbird, Firefox, etc)?

netcyrax··on SQLite in production with WAL
"Benchmarks on the smallest EC2 instance, with no provisioned IOPS, put this little trooper at 400 write transactions per second, and thousands of reads" -> I think 90% of SaaS would be super fine with this write limits.
netcyrax··on Cheers to 10 Years
IMHO probably the most user friendly & unique linux distro out there! Congrats for the milestone!
netcyrax··on Open source Heroku Like Platform on premises
It actually offers both point-and-click and CD-type deployments (through webhooks). But yeah, not the most powerful piece if you are looking for CD/CI. Still more than good-enough IMHO.
netcyrax··on RIP Flynn.io
+1 on CapRover. Complete provider independent deployments. Just write a Dockerfile and you are ready to deploy.
netcyrax··on Cloud Run adds min instances feature for latency-sensitive apps
So if there's something always running .... isn't the same as having on always on server (with auto scaling of some sort)?
netcyrax··on 7GUIs
If this became popular enough, wouldn't GUI frameworks just optimize for these 7 use cases? And then the benchmark wouldn't be so useful.
netcyrax··on Beta users of Starlink get downloads of 11 to 60 Mbps
What hardware is required to use the Starlink network? Would that be expensive?
netcyrax··on Old Code Gets Younger Every Year
Couldn't read the article because I've "read all of your free stories this month". I would prefer a few ads rather than the Medium's garden.
netcyrax··on Stripe's remote engineering hub, one year in
Am I the only one thinking that "remote" would mean "anywhere in the world", but most of the times mean "anywhere in the country" (in Stripe's case, the US)? Is it even possible, due to legal/logistics, to have really "internationally remote" workforce?
