I totally concur.

I migrated most of my self-hosted services from multiple rpi (I've been using several of them for years) to a single cheap Intel N100 NUC that I purchased last year: 16GB RAM/512Gb SSD for 156€, and I've been very pleased with it.

venv + requirements.txt has worked for every single python project I made for the last 2 years (I'm new to python). Only issue I had was when using a newish python version and not having a specific library released yet for this new version, but downgrading python solved this.

Being new to the ecosystem I have no clue why people would use Conda and why it matters. I tried it, but was left bewildered, not understanding the benefits.

That's why it's called hybrid I guess

That's when the native Android or iOS app is basically a webview displaying the web app (either served locally or from the website)

Anecdata, but I found the very same issue (the bermuda triangle gap between radioboxes, but also checkboxes, and their labels) in a project a few months ago.

It seemed a pretty big deal to me, specially because I always clicked on the gap, and got frustrated and angry at this. So I reported it to the UX team managing the design system, and to the developers implementing the design system, and nobody really cared. Some people even tried to convince me this behaviour was OK (because other design systems worked that way too, or because they were planning to refactor this on the far future so they didn't want to spend time on this).

I think the industry is now filled with people that just don't care, specially on big companies where, if it's not in a ticket, and if the ticket is not prioritized as critical, nobody cares. All they care about are metrics (test coverage, line count of a function, whatever). Pretty sad actually.

That's fine and I appreciate this progress, but right now performance is way below energy efficiency to me when choosing a laptop. My major question is, how long will the battery last between each charge. I just don't want to worry anymore about charging when travelling for a few hours.

This is probably great to use, but it also highlights in comparison the beautiful simplicity of SQL. Doing something simple is hard, and SQL is so simple that I think most people find little value to abstractions built on it.

There's a metaphoric idea of feeding a model

Hi. French here. I may be wrong, but I really feel like you are overestimating us.

The X-COPY user interface[1] was very powerful, watching the little squares slowly fill with color while hearing the floppy drive painfully squeaking and grinding was an experience in itself.

Operating system standardization have killed this kind of creative interface, it's probably for the best, but I'm pretty sure something bold and colorful can still happen and make a difference to users.

Not really, there is this "limited access"[1] with content filter an abuse monitoring: "Customers who wish to modify content filters and modify abuse monitoring after they have onboarded to the service are subject to additional scenario restrictions and are required to register here."

I just plan some self-reward for completing a task, and this gives me motivation. I used to give myself a preward but I noticed with time that those are highly ineffective.

This.

Also, the market segment ("small physical businesses") seems too large for an MVP.

>Why does this happen?

A lot of people value more enhancing their résumé than solving problems

Same here. My name is very common and I have an email similar to John Smith <smith.jj@gmail.com>, and I have around 10 people around the world named like me or similarly that use my email for everything. I receive, almost weekly, paid invoices, flight tickets, appointment reminders, a teen soccer club newsletter, new instagram accounts, etc anything you can imagine really.

A few years ago I tried to contact some of my other selfs to ask them to mind their email, but never got any response. I'm just ignoring them now or hitting the spam button (after all, the senders should have a process to check the address instead of taking erroneous email addresses written by hand on paper).

I meant the scrollbar for the search result. Good luck on this projet, I would really love to see some alternative for Search. Not sure if this is relevant or if I am your target, but I do not feel like having the best results or being able to search in the most massive document database is my main goal when using a search engine: if I can just find quickly something relevant (meaning, fast to query and fast/easy to read the results) I'd be just fine for most of my searches.

I am not yet feeling like I'm ready to change my search engine habits right now, but after trying Andi, here is some feedback

- I was puzzled by the chat interface, but found out that I could click on the previous answers and get the results visible again. This is pretty handy to go back and forth on results trying a few different queries. Would be even better if the scrollview was repositionned where it was.

- The displayed snippet is definitely something you will need to work a lot on, because right now it is not easy to read and I think this is the major problem to solve for any search engine (ie. readability of the results).

Put the AI stuff aside for now and work on the UX.

Speculation: "investment in stocks, property, etc. in the hope of gain but with the risk of loss." Buying bitcoins seems to match the definition.

You can buy gold as an inflationary hedge, but I don't think people would do that with bitcoin.

«We're in the early phases of it» I've been hearing this for years now. How long can something stay in early phases ?

Well, it depends. I have seen many teams where retrospectives are basically a lot of personal mea culpas, people talking about what they did not do right, and it was mostly about how they should have done things differently rather than how the process or organisation could be adapted. The overall feeling is that agile works great, scrum works great, so if something went wrong it's because of the human factor and that's what should be fixed... I don't know about communism, but at some places the implementation of agile sounds like a regime.

I can relate with a very bad dream I had when I was maybe 7 or 8, it involved not a maze but fractal patterns of eggs and gears (although at the time I didn't know what fractal was, so I perceived it as "growing and growing to no end"). This happened once in my life, and it was 40 years ago, but I still remember how terrified I was, and I also remember how I have been scared for literally years after this episode to have this bad dream again.

Do you mean software or product ? At the time of this writing, all answers are about writing software, but a product implies a market, and most of the process is about what problem you are trying to solve for a customer, and evaluating the value provided. The software development usually starts when there is enough knowledge to sketch an MVP.

How is creating trust issues on a kernel not an actual damage?

Not OP, but as the name suggests, a VPN is a virtual private network: you can use it to create a private subnet from where you can securely access your other computers/resources, even from a remote location.

For instance, at work we are mostly remote, and use a VPN (OpenVPN here) to access the local network at the office with our on-premise build servers, and it also allows developers to work together sometimes (one running a debugging server on their dev laptop, another debugging the client from their own laptop as if they were sharing a local network, when actually they are hundreds of miles apart)

Native c/c++ code linking maybe? Linking with native modules may be important to some projects, and that's complicated when the GPL is involved.

«prosecuted simply for carrying goggles or masks to protect themselves»

This is quite a dishonest interpretation of the facts. They were arrested because they participated to an unregistered (therefore forbidden) protest, there was proper communication from the police that such event was not authorized because of the expected violence issues, and the goggles / masks were proof of participation.

It's pretty easy to start a protest rally or march in france, you just have to declare it to the prefecture. Sometimes they are not accepted, for instance when a protest with violence history wants to pass in certain parts of the city with a lot of shop (they are regularly attacked). It happens that violent protestors such as the yellow vest types declare a march passing for instance the Champs Elysee avanue (famous locally for its numerous shops), knowing it will be rejected, then calling it a dictature when it happens, and doing it anyway, and there the violence begins. The Amesty report says nothing of this context, I have no idea why (I can guess it probably is because they support the yellow vest movement).

In France at least they are under investigation because they were illegally spying on their employees and even some of their customers. I am not sure what is the status of the trial, but this was big in France at the time, and happened for a very long time.

When young 13-year old me discovered hypercard, it gave me a feeling of awesomeness, and HyperTalk, the programming language of HyperCard, was a lot of fun.

I think that if hypercard had been the engine of the web instead of html/css, we would have had the current state of the web (ie. with client-side dynamic applications) a lot sooner.

Wether Hypertalk would have been a better choice than javascript to program the web, this is another story :)

For the curious, the Hypertalk entry in wikipedia contains a lot of code examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTalk

I can understand why the author is angry at TeX, but I think it's mainly a misunderstanding. TeX is very low-level, it was designed that way and never pretended to be anything else. That's why people created macros around it, and LaTeX is the most successful of them.

I happen to have worked on many document generation systems in my career, I have written systems targetting odt, docx, postscript, and pdf, either from scratch (for odt and docx) or xsl/fo (ps), docbook (pdf) or TeX/LaTeX (pdf).

The most satisfying, easy-to-build, but not the easiest-to-understand, the one that gave the best result in terms of time-to-develop/quality/satisfaction was TeX/LaTeX. So sure, the math can suck in TeX, maybe, I don't know (didn't feel that way at uni when I was using it for that), but as a typesettings low-level language to target, it does a very good job.

Also I fail to see how TeX is an issue, or even how it prevents competition to happen, when all it takes is writing a better front-end language for it.

This is by design, and rather well explained in the typescript documentation: the type system is based on structural subtyping, which seems like a good tradeoff to me (but of course, as any design choice, not everyone should agree, and it's fine).
