strunz··on Ceiling Air Purifier
Most mention the room size or square footage they cover though, which is a simplified way to say the same thing
strunz··on Broadcom to acquire VMware for $61B
This was reported by multiple financial news organizations, what makes you so confident it isn't true?
strunz··on How did Tropicana lose $30M in a packaging redesign?
Not bored as much as "I need a big project to parlay into a VP/Executive role"
strunz··on Albini pitching Nirvana: “I would like to be paid like a plumber” (1992)
>Admit it - you were sleeping. Was it for years? Now you're awake again.

Good lord. I love Nirvana but the differences between all these mixes are minor and barely noticeable unless you're swapping back and forth. Kurt would hate this shit.

strunz··on Albini pitching Nirvana: “I would like to be paid like a plumber” (1992)
Not surprising considering Nevermind is one of the best sounding albums of all time. I personally give Butch Vig a large part of the. refit for getting the best out of the band and really making an incredible album. Hard to believe it's the same band as Bleach.
strunz··on YouTuber builds his own x-ray machine after $69k hospital bill (2021)
Seems like he's coming back and outsourcing the editing - https://twitter.com/WilliamOsman/status/1486815129563918338
strunz··on Apple removes Python 2.7 in macOS 12.3 beta
I mean the advantage is that you can run vanilla python on most things by default, which is how Ansible pretty much "just works".
strunz··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
Except many AWS services still route through us-east-1 anyway, which is why they have had huge outages recently. AWS isn't as redundant as people think it is.
strunz··on Rust Moderation Team Resigns
People have made fun of Linux having Linus as the dictator on top, but it seems like that model might be the best for long term project success...
strunz··on Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
Funny, I moved from Linux to Mac because I got so sick of no good laptops with full support for Linux and it's never ending subsystems for audio, webcams, trackpads, etc. And not like Linux UIs are known for being efficient and memory friendly either.
strunz··on Docker Desktop for Mac (Apple Silicon)
"Identical binaries" is not the same thing as "reproducible builds". It's maybe one aspect of one type of CI/CD, but I would say not even the majority.
strunz··on Higher quality audio makes people sound smarter
Why should that be any different than how you look in person?
strunz··on Hit songwriters ask pop stars to stop taking credit for songs they didn't write
Yes, this is well covered in the article.
strunz··on Akira Kurosawa’s List of His 100 Favorite Movies (2015)
You must not be in the internet much, because this is always the contrarian pick. In fact, your same comment is repeated multiple times in this very thread.
strunz··on Cypress: Fast, easy, and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser
Last time I checked you couldn't even organize tests in different folders, I wonder if they finally fixed that. I always find it odd using test frameworks developed by a for profit company. They pick and choose what code to merge and bugs to fix based on their own priority, not what's best for the users.
strunz··on Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential
It's cool, but warning that it treats variables differently. For example if you run an EXE command-line tool which looks for Windows environment variables, it won't use the Bash environment variables. Probably not a huge deal, just a gotcha we've hit at my company which caused a lot of wasted debugging time.
strunz··on Tell HN: FB tracked my sensitive buy outside FB, cant delete a suggestion in app
I'm pretty sure Facebook does simple IP address tracking to serve ads. I've noticed my wife and I both get served ads for things the other has recently searched for.
strunz··on DIY Video Hosting
Handbrake CLI is great and much more user friendly than ffmpeg
strunz··on Remote work has its perks, until you want a promotion
Because they've always been afraid working from home equals hardly working and they've already sunk in the cost on the multi year office lease.
strunz··on Python performance: it’s not just the interpreter
Where are you getting this information that they're moving to other languages? Isn't Instagram almost completely Python? I talk to them at PyCon every year and they spend a lot of time talking about it.
strunz··on Have the record number of investors in the stock market lost their minds?
Betting on one company always has that risk. Most people are investing in index funds and Fortune 500 companies which aren't going bankrupt.
strunz··on My NixOS Desktop Flow
I'm saying if you run all your apps in containers, there really isn't much left to configure on the OS. Using Ansible for those few things seems like an easier solution.
strunz··on A-Shell: Terminal for iOS
Registering in the Apple Development program costs $99 (per year) too
strunz··on A-Shell: Terminal for iOS
Blink is great, but $20 for a terminal you might use occasionally or emergencies is pretty stiff for me personally.
strunz··on My NixOS Desktop Flow
Honestly, I find it infinitely easier to just do everything in in docker containers. Then the OS doesn't matter except for installing docker, and running docker-compose up.
strunz··on One way to fight a coronavirus recession: $1k for every American
Wasn;t it determined that no one actually spent that money and just paid of debt instead?
strunz··on Trading halted as U.S. stocks plummet
Vanguard retirement funds do exactly this for you, what are you talking about?
strunz··on Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs
Isn't this gonna cause a bunch of headaches though? What about people who connect to VPN and rely on the local DNS server to resolve non-public hosts? It'll work in everything but Firefox? Seems confusing.
strunz··on If this project is dead, just tell us
Can you link to one of these times a maintainer said something like that?
strunz··on Edward Snowden on The Joe Rogan Experience [video]
Exactly, this is the whole reason whistleblower protections exist. It gives a lone wolf the ability to fight against the machines that are bigger than they could possibly fight themselves.
