I think that the best way to move away from github is to go full chad and doing mailing list with patch submissions à la LKML.

Why does everyone seem to think straight away of portable devices. I would get this for my main desktop monitor. Seems like a great way to be able to do work and only work.

This video assumes that this technology will remain static over time.

Peltier cooling could have a higher utility local maximum than currently used refrigerants.

I think that this popularity is making the site slow down dramatically. I hope all these hits won't cost too much $$

If you find yourself building a file format - you should read this page carefully and make sure that you have very good arguments which support why it does not apply to you.

Does this type of exposure to the broad public work? Has something like this been done before?

> I like the publicly funded open source funding in theory, in practice I suspect these guys had to pay consultants to create a funding project application, that went through some arbitrary agency, and the money that got to the developers is probably less than half of the money that was spent in the process. And then if this becomes more widespread an the existing software companies that do business with government will start sucking money out of such grants and the government quality code.

I agree that systems are far from perfect at the time. I also think that governments have been putting money into digital tech for much less time than private enterprise.

Regarding the money that gets to the developers, I added a comment on that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43770310

When you pay 1000 USD to Microsoft to use o365, how much of that goes to the developers?

The argument of "but very little of that money will go to *actual* development" is not looking at the alternative being used now.

There is also a lot of indirect funding in the form of the governments purchasing habits: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-s...

In the EU the size of the state is often bigger than 50% of GDP. What the government buys is very important and means a lot of $$ for projects, consultants and the rest of the open source ecosystem.

In certain spaces we have seen OpenSource become a runaway train: linux kernel, sqlite, postgres and many other projects. All of these projects have one thing in common, it's not where the money is. The money is in the direct contact with end users.

As far as I know, there aren't any open source projects which are ubiquitous in the consumer facing space. I think that there is a chance that NextCloud could become a runaway train vs. Microsoft Teams, Google workspace etc. Some reasons...

## Simple to use & signup Through providers like Storage Share by Hetzner, it's a simple click, provide card info, start using experience for NC. One could argue even simpler than getting Google Workspace to work!

Also, it's about 5% of the price of Google Workspace for 8 users.

## Big open source improvements Companies like Deutchetelekom have engineers submitting pull requests to improve their code since NC is now an integral part of MagentaCloud (over 2M users). Thousands of universities are using NC, they too have engineers submitting pull requests.

*I wonder if there are any SF startups using NC and potentially interested in improving the code.*

Is it possible that eventually, there are more high quality engineers interested in improving the NC code than there are at Microsoft or Google? I think there is a chance.

Anyone know how this would/could work for parents with young kids?

Is it possible to construct a container like the one built for campfire but for something like GitLab or Mattermost?

The config should also come with a short explanation on how to use it on it!

Although Siri needs much improvement I have found that voice typing on iphone has actually improved dramatically the last few months.

I have been using it more and more to send email and messages.

Yes that’s correct ! Oops

You can just use curl to get the csv from the gayest and pipe into SQLite using the .import command.

Not sure what this has on top of that.

Basic yet super powerful.

What will be the replacement? libre office?

In that case why not move everything to FOSS?

Or you can just use this and avoid installing a script to check the weather!

I agree with all the points mentioned. I hope this accelerates the development of signal - especially on desktop where there is still no integrated video player!!

This has already been done at scale in Europe.

I wonder when Google docs will introduce this type of feature.

Glad to read in most of the comments that this whole fad of obsessing with some weird productivity hack will make a difference in output is fading.

Am I the only one who feels like these complicated systems are ridiculous? https://twitter.com/mixcocam/status/1412161067967516675?t=cL...

I think SQLite is even more batteries included! https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html

This is built into fossil-scm

Cool debugging tool when updating databases which pull data from various sources!

There have been many articles in HN regarding using plain text files as a productivity tool. Just pointing to this small community on reddit which writes only about that.
