Re:Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop on Monday November 18, 2024 @04:07AM (#42170885)
Great question. To be honest, I like them both, but the 16" has less reflection so if that's important for you, go with that. I think there is an even better screen option now than the one I have. But I don't think I will upgrade to that since I am happy with the ones I currently have.

I have a 13" one for 2 years and a 16" for close to 6 months. I love them both and I will likely only upgrade these and never by a complete new laptop. The 13 is amazing for the go, lightweight and comfortable. The 16 is great for me for general use, because I don't work at a table, so the larger screen makes a big difference. I recommend the AMD one, that performs better for me(my 13 is Intel). I have 2 articles about them on my blog if you are curious:

And if you have any specific questions, I am happy to answer.

Since it is super simple to create a new app and super simple to deploy and host, I don't find it to be an overkill. And if you want to expand on an idea, it makes it very easy. For sometime that's really simple, like a landing page, I use jekyll and the end result is just plain HTML

I haven't used Sinatra for years, because whatever simple I start, Rails is super convenient to use for it these days. The single file thing I wrote this article about is only good for reporting bugs if one of the official bug report templates wouldn't be enough, or to test something. I use it for testing security related things and for little example apps.
Re:The Rails Foundation announces its first-ever conference! on Thursday April 06, 2023 @12:20PM (#35470603)
I feel you. I live in Europe and I feel the same about traveling to the US. It is such an extra hassle compared to travel within the EU. In an ideal world we would have 2 non-politicized conferences each year, one in Europe, one in the States. Hopefully we will get that in the future.
Re:An Overview of Ruby on Rails 7.1 Features. Part III on Monday January 23, 2023 @03:53PM (#34494875)
So many great features. Rails still seems to be the best choice to build a web app.
Re:Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring on Sunday September 25, 2022 @01:14AM (#32969119)
I just received my Framework laptop recently, installed Fedora 36 + KDE Plasma, and even though it took some tweaking to get a close to my Mac behaviour, it works perfect. I had 0 driver problems. So it looks like Linux on the desktop seems to be getting there. And the best part, with this laptop, no shop needed to replace the battery, I can do it myself.
There is an XSS vulnerability at the comments.
You clearly know shit about nutrition :) Spices are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, minerals. They don't produce extra CO2, to the contrary, they remove CO2. Enjoy your beef.
The taste of a dish is mainly coming from the spices.

The goal is to confuse us, so we can't fool the algo :)

In this case I assume the domain holds some weight?

I experienced the other end of the spectrum with Revolut. My wife saw an advert on Facebook for a and indoor children slide, it looked quite nice for a 100 bucks and since I was busy with work, I didn't due any due diligence and ordered the item. Received the confirmation email, then life went on. In about 2 weeks time, I remembered this order and wanted to check the progress. I opened the order summary link from the email, but it was a 404 and oddly the site looked very different than before, this was the first time I had a feeling, I may have been scammed. I replied to the order email, and asked them for a status update. There was no reply within 2 days, so I went to the site again, and looked for the contact details. I found and email address(Gmail), but no company details whatsoever. This was the time when I realised, I got scammed. Anyways, I sent an email to that address, but of course there was no reply. A day later and decided to figure out where is the site hosted and going back to the contact form, I found a new contact email address(an Outlook one). Since then, I checked the site a few times and the contact address was a different one multiple times. Anyways, I realised it is a scam, found out the site is on Shopify, reached out to them and they directed me to my bank. I contacted Revolut, briefed them about what happened, and they started the chargeback process. Oddly a few days after they did that, I got another email from the merchant with a tracking code. In about 2 weeks I received a fidget spinner like plastic crap from China, which I never ordered. I notified Revolut about this too and they also told me, the merchant sent them proof me doing the transaction and want not to allow the chargeback, but since I said at the beginning it was me doing the transaction, just never received the items, I just need to fill out another form, stating this and they will carry on, trying to get my money back. As of today, I still didn't get my money back and I am not sure I ever will, but Revolut was really helpful during the process so far. I am more dissapointed with Shopify, I thought they vet their merchants or at least care about reports of misconducting ones, but they didn't give a crap about me telling them about a scam site running at them. I also found crazy that they don't force the merchant to disclose company details, that's required by the law in many countries.
Yeah, better to use assembly and spend a week to implement trivial features :)
