Interesting to see a "modern" ~30b sized model - will have to give this a try!

+1 for this - I've essentially replaced all of my local tooling for my own projects as well as where I work with nix. Consistent, stable environments that include every dependency have been a breath of fresh air for development across the board. Being able to build lightweight containers from these nix derivations that match the local env perfectly is a huge bonus - you can even stream directly from the nix store into remote docker registries with something like nix2container!

The "Probable Savings" is such an annoying thing they do on their site (do all EV companies do this?). You can't just advertise a lower monthly price based on an arbitrary amount of gas spend over three years

A similar tool that I love: https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython

Are these chipsets anywhere in the price range that would make them feasible for consumer/pro-sumer? I wasn't able to find anything related to pricing without contacting sales. With the numbers being thrown about, this would appear to be "enterprise-only"

I've been following for a while - I eagerly await when I can build this from source, or install without an auth token!

This is a blocker for me to ever adopt this as more than a toy language. These days, if I can't use Nix to build + deploy the whole set of requirements (I'm fine building out the packages themselves), it's basically a non-starter!

I know they are claiming that it will eventually be open-sourced. Just a bit sad that there's no timeline on that

Very cool to see Vantage adding Azure support! Now they've got coverage of the big 3

sidenote: it may be good to update the title - this post is about Vantage adding that support, but the title reads a bit more like their normal tagline

Great advice for anyone using AWS services! I've always wondered why at least S3 VPC endpoints weren't the default for new VPCs

posting a snippet for HAProxy in case its helpful to someone else (or if others have recommendations on how to better do this)

  http-request deny if { path -m sub ${ }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub ${ }
  http-request deny if { path -m sub $%7B }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub $%7B }
  http-request deny if { path -m sub %24%7B }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub %24%7B }

Where are you seeing these for those prices? ebay? It'd be interesting to see what could be done with boards like this

This looks awesome! Thanks for sharing - I've been looking for a nice django/react starter kit to play with (especially as a less front-end inclined dev). Looking forward to the thread on your Show HN!

I love Mullvad, I've been a happy user of theirs for many years!

+1 for this, I can't scroll at all on Firefox. Works on Chrome though

This is awesome! It got me curious about something like this for python and I stumbled upon Wolf [0], which looks pretty cool.

I like to use http://http.rip/ for this!

I would second this - my parents bought them as well after trying mine (Dad got a Titan, Mom got an Omega)! I've been using it for about a year now and have no complaints at all. Great lumbar support too.

+1 for metabase, I've used it all over the place

I would highly recommend looking at something like kubectx [0] to manage switching between kubernetes contexts! I've been using this for a while now and have it aliased to kx. It supports tab completion, as well as fzf integration if you have it installed [1]. There's also kubens in there which does the same for namespaces!

+1 for nix and home-manager - I recently switched to this setup (still learning/experimenting a lot, link here [0]) and have been very happy!

any Ubuntu LTS version!

I recently began using Nix as such on my current MBP - I'm a big fan!

I'd recommend checking out Elementary OS [0]. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic), so you have the support of one of the (arguably) larger Linux communities, and you have the freedom to do what you like. It has a custom desktop environment meant to feel more like macOS, and decent keyboard shortcuts.

Ah okay cool, makes sense.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the response - looking forward to trying it out this weekend!

Congrats on the launch - looks very interesting!

Are there any performance implications using this custom runtime?

Have you used this in production systems?

Are there any known limitations of using sysbox?

This looks awesome! Just backed - very excited for February!

Looks pretty interesting!

I've been using Cloudcraft [0] for a while now for AWS diagrams, and I'm quite happy with it - it even can do some cost estimation stuff based on resources you have in your diagrams!

Blizzard used to be my favorite gaming company. I remember when I was much younger dreaming of being able to work there on World of Warcraft. I played a ridiculous amount of WoW/Warcraft 3/Starcraft as a kid, and more recently a decent amount of WoW/Hearthstone/Overwatch.

I had been a WoW subscriber for over a decade. WoW's quality has been in decline (IMO) recently in BFA, and I stayed because I still occasionally enjoyed it, but it no longer has the same magic that I remember. WoW Classic brought back some of that nostalgia, but it was short lived for me.

BlizzCon last year made it pretty clear that Blizzard has shifted their focus [0]. There is no way they were delusional enough to expect a happy reaction to the Diablo Immortal announcement. It's very clearly targeted at the Chinese market.

Their actions in the past month (and year) are very telling - they are no longer the company I used to admire. I've canceled my WoW subscription as of last week, and I've deleted all of their games from my devices. I know that my actions alone/individually don't really have an impact on them, but I can't go on supporting them after the things they've been doing recently. Bellular has a pretty good video breaking down some of this situation as well [1].

It'll be interesting to see how BlizzCon goes this year.

Is this the final state of attempting to maximize profits? It feels like it's converging back towards the cable model [0]. Especially now with ad-supported streaming plans on Hulu [1] and increasingly more and more service exclusives [2] (same site as OP).

Streaming services are slowly but surely becoming cable "Channels"/"Packages" now, and of course that's going to increase piracy - we've seen it happen before. If you make something people want, but make it overly expensive or inconvenient to consume, piracy is an attractive (albeit morally grey) alternative for many.

Sure you can buy the disk set for whatever shows you like and skip out on the streaming services, but that in itself comes with a level of inconvenience (and cost) - why use physical disks when you can just download the content, share on a NAS/Plex server, and have it on any device? Once you've made it more inconvenient than people are used to, you've again made piracy an option.

I wonder when we'll start seeing bundles of streaming services for a single price!

As always, crazy interesting stuff coming out of OpenAI!

This is the type of stuff that amazes me - I really wish I had more of an opportunity to play with AI/ML in my day to day work.
