awestroke··on How Fly.io and Tailscale Saved Notado
How is the latency and performance of Fly.io micro vms compared to, say, a comparably priced DigitalOcean VPS?
awestroke··on Yagni Exceptions (2021)
I interpreted your comment as you claiming a view would have been needed.

The list of things required in a relational database does not seem long to me. I could probably come up with an even longer list for what's required when using Mongo.

Also, my point about an array typed column still stands

awestroke··on Yagni Exceptions (2021)
Am I missing something, or could you have achieved the same thing with a relational database using joins? Or even an array-typed column?
awestroke··on Warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer
I might be wrong about Sway not being wlroots based. But there are a lot of compositors that are not based on wlroots
awestroke··on Warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer
The wayland implementation does not support Gnome Shell on wayland (arguably the most mainstream combo since it's the default in ubuntu). To support Gnome Shell on Wayland, you need to include a Gnome Shell extension which has some headaches. X is a third implementation. And then there is one additional implementation per Wayland compositor that is not based on wlroots
awestroke··on Warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer
Looking at the limitations, I hate how fragmented Linux is becoming for apps like this. Completely separate implementations for:

- X

- Wayland + Gnome Shell

- Wayland + wlroots-based compositor

- Wayland + sway or any other non-wlroots based compositor

Is Wayland really that much better that this is worth it? Why can't Wayland be aware of the compositor like X?

What would you use instead of tar?

No, they stated that they personally have no interest in using better tools (lsp, autocomplete etc).

awestroke··on Show HN: Refurb – A tool for refurbishing and modernizing Python codebases
Oh, really? Which ones?
awestroke··on Show HN: Refurb – A tool for refurbishing and modernizing Python codebases
From reading these comments, I get the impression that python developers don't really want to modernize their codebases. This fits with my experience of python developers resisting new language features like types and even python v 3.

Quite nostalgia-inducing with the ugly gradients

I'm working on an extension that filters out comments that whine and complain about Rust being mentioned.
awestroke··on Google CEO tells employees not to ‘equate fun with money’ in heated meeting
Money for me, but not for thee. During times of record profits and huge cash reserves, difficult choices must be made. If you are not passionate about making stakeholders and leadership more money while they decrease spending on you, then you need to rethink your priorities!

No, but VS Code has its own "window manager" that programs (extensions) can use

No

Running untrusted java code sounds like a nightmare. And saying you can do something in java if you've "patched the JDK appropriately"... How is that even comparable to a 100% sandboxed by default vm and runtime?
awestroke··on The Ethereum merge is done
Which ones? BTC is only mined on ASICs, other top coins are POS.
awestroke··on Ask HN: What are examples of companies dying due to many people quitting?
Business owners often force employees to strike to get reasonable pay and working conditions
