Im not signing up for that. For the world’s backlog you might want the world wide web to be able to read it.

Putting a tracking pixel in a readme is a new one, wow. I would never want to clone that project in case I accidentally open the readme

Just use terraform github provider.

Re:Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @09:09AM (#36694001)
Thank you for this comment. I relate to every one of your points.

Especially the silent/forced updates. It can be SO bad in games. since the OP is about blizzard- look at hearthstone. Its a card game where you can’t trade, and the cards you sank money into can just get nerfed when the next expansion comes out. It amazes me this is acceptable to some.

Re:Meta’s Microservice Architecture [pdf] on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @08:42AM (#36693708)
What are you monitoring your monolith for? For microservices you can monitor specific metrics related to the exact function, and perform health checks, scaling events accordingly.

For monoliths you cant be as specific. “Is the response a 500” doesn’t really cut it. “Average request latency” for scaling doesn’t cut it when some of your queries are reads and then some are completely unrelated mass joins.

As a consumer id just wait for indie games and smalltime books to become free. This ruins the demand and people have much less incentive to create. In general taking money away and giving it to a government is not a productive solution and definitely hinders creativity

As someone who shares this opinion, its refreshing to see this shared online. Many onlinr opinions state that hoarding is an end goal. but I agree its far more rewarding to give back when you have more than enough
Re:Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more? on Friday March 25, 2022 @04:47AM (#30799858)
It always amazes me that reddit wants to completely ruin their product by forcing you to download an app which has no adult content.
I have to buy many online goods in USD with my devalued currency. Isn’t that the same?
Re:Linux Perf Examples on Saturday March 19, 2022 @04:24AM (#30732148)
Are there any real world examples?

This looks extremely useful but reading some of this still leaves me questioning how will I know when to reach for perf out of the toolbox

Ive made the opposite switch, many sites were broken in brave (eg google docs, google sheets) and aren’t in firefox

Re:Which search engine is the least censored? on Saturday March 12, 2022 @02:42PM (#30654233)
Yet here we are with no usable alternatives because competitors get crushed
Re:Which search engine is the least censored? on Saturday March 12, 2022 @02:38PM (#30654199)
Is deranking considered censorship? On what basis does RT need to be the top result?

Now of course I know its been purposely deranked. But couldn’t google claim its not censored if it exists but buried in results?

I want to know what legal basis we have for asserting certain sites must have the highest rank on google for certain searches. I’m assuming there isn’t one.

What calc books are those? Reading a calculus book is a massive investment because I will be rereading pages. So I’d like to find the best one first

If you dont track win rate how can you be elite? I would say jorbs is just a good for-fun player. its much harder to dismiss someone when results are there

Oh definitely. How long did python3 take? We’re still on ipv4. But lets chill. In 2038 I should be retired but I’ll return from my retirement and make bank
Re:The Competitive Duality of Slay the Spire on Monday February 28, 2022 @02:57AM (#30497463)
Jorbs in TFA comes across has having a really fragile ego. If he’s so interested in competitive STS, why is he willfully ignoring lifecoachs results who are unmatched?
No it is not
Re:Going IPv6 Only on Sunday February 20, 2022 @10:36AM (#30406507)
Is it possible to get an allocation in ipv6? And what are the steps you’d take to do so?

Im interested in making my projects ipv6 only if I can have a long term address allocation which I cant do in ipv4

Re:Ask HN: How to get boring once again? on Saturday February 19, 2022 @08:12AM (#30396902)
A common problem. Ive been reclaiming my attention two ways. No push notifications except for trusted contacts via message/call. And the other side, choosing to read a chapter on my e-reader before social media. And social media is limited to useful dev subreddits and hackernews. I have basically no friends, so i must be pretty boring.

Ive deleted Facebook, instagram. I switched my email over to paid fastmail, use apple maps. If there was a way around apples walled garden I’d be happy (no pinephone where I am)
