pheouk··on Hollywood Enters Oscars Weekend in Existential Crisis
Regals unlimited pass and their snack saver has made movies a no brainer for me and my friends coupled with their monthly themed events showing older movies we almost always have multiple things we want to see and often go multiple times a week, especially during the gloomier winter months!

At last check i was at almost 25 visits this year, just saw F1 again on saturday and off to see Project Hail Mary tonight

pheouk··on Show HN: Yolodex – real-time customer enrichment API
I tested with a fairly old (10+ year) gmail account and every field other than the full name came back as null which is surprising, will try a few more tests and see how i go, but that wasnt the expected result :)

looked intriguing until i had to deal with the conflicting 'we are for smb not enterprise' and then 'ha and sso only available in our soon to be enterprise pricing'

not sure how many SMBs some devs work with but anything more than a mom and pop outfit and things like HA and SSO become fairly critical, especially for desktop workloads

this pattern stifles adoption of so many otherwise great projects

pheouk··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
awesome work! is this self-hostable and/or opensource? would love to run something like this internally
pheouk··on Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
Is there IDE support for full fat Visual Studio? I recall them adding support for the devcontainer concept last year sometime? (I could be wrong, and/or it may have been a limited set of capabilities, you know MS)

I have a mix of jetbrains, vs code and vs ent devs, would be great to unify their development experience a little

pheouk··on GitHub support for PHP Packages: “no longer planned”
Not just PHP, looks like they have the same token comment on PyPi, Helm and generic package support
pheouk··on Pipeline and chain operators (|| and &&) now in pwsh
kind of the whole point behind it was wanting to decouple the Powershell release cadence from that of Windows, getting updated versions of things in Windows is -hard-

Powershell 7 (which just dropped RC2) is the Powershell going forward, it's based on .NET Core, its xplat, it's the one with all the dev resources assigned to it

Windows Powershell ships with windows, and is still at 5.1 at last check

Powershell Core 6 will be the only major version of Powershell core, 7 drops the core moniker

pheouk··on Show HN: OneDev – A Lightweight GitLab Alternative
This looks really great, what do you use to generate all the feature gifs on the front page? I love when I see features visualized out like this, so easy to comprehend
pheouk··on The Crystal Palace
Also walked through often on my way to school, and had sports at the NSC regularly, A lovely place most of the time. The hedge maze was always fun as a kid too, but the scale of the terraces and their staircases was always something that seemed larger than life to a 12 year old kid
pheouk··on From macOS to Windows and WSL
not defending one way or the other, but remember North Carolina, Pennsylvania

ncpa.cpl is the old network view, still very useful if i'm not in the cli :)

pheouk··on Show HN: A tech conference aggregator
It would be nice if the start/end date could be a range it seems tied to a specific start date for a conference, rather than any conferences starting after this date

it would be nice to see the fields filter down as other parameters are defined, if i set USA as the country, I should just see cities hosting conferences in the USA

Love how clean and quick it is though

pheouk··on Microsoft, I Forgive You
Long time powershell lover here, many of us used to just always have an ISE instance running for its flexibility, but recently I found this post and have not looked back since.. my prompt is a Ctrl + ~ away :)
