Interesting to see a "modern" ~30b sized model - will have to give this a try!
Re:Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less? on Thursday January 11, 2024 @10:46PM (#38963420)
+1 for this - I've essentially replaced all of my local tooling for my own projects as well as where I work with nix. Consistent, stable environments that include every dependency have been a breath of fresh air for development across the board. Being able to build lightweight containers from these nix derivations that match the local env perfectly is a huge bonus - you can even stream directly from the nix store into remote docker registries with something like nix2container!

Re:Upgraded Model 3 now available in the US on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @01:39PM (#38941690)
The "Probable Savings" is such an annoying thing they do on their site (do all EV companies do this?). You can't just advertise a lower monthly price based on an arbitrary amount of gas spend over three years
Re:GigaGPT: GPT-3 sized models in 565 lines of code on Monday December 11, 2023 @03:30PM (#38605095)
Are these chipsets anywhere in the price range that would make them feasible for consumer/pro-sumer? I wasn't able to find anything related to pricing without contacting sales. With the numbers being thrown about, this would appear to be "enterprise-only"
Re:Mojo is now available on Mac on Thursday October 19, 2023 @12:46PM (#37945241)
I've been following for a while - I eagerly await when I can build this from source, or install without an auth token!

This is a blocker for me to ever adopt this as more than a toy language. These days, if I can't use Nix to build + deploy the whole set of requirements (I'm fine building out the packages themselves), it's basically a non-starter!

I know they are claiming that it will eventually be open-sourced. Just a bit sad that there's no timeline on that

Very cool to see Vantage adding Azure support! Now they've got coverage of the big 3

sidenote: it may be good to update the title - this post is about Vantage adding that support, but the title reads a bit more like their normal tagline

Great advice for anyone using AWS services! I've always wondered why at least S3 VPC endpoints weren't the default for new VPCs

posting a snippet for HAProxy in case its helpful to someone else (or if others have recommendations on how to better do this)

  http-request deny if { path -m sub ${ }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub ${ }
  http-request deny if { path -m sub $%7B }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub $%7B }
  http-request deny if { path -m sub %24%7B }
  http-request deny if { query -m sub %24%7B }

Where are you seeing these for those prices? ebay? It'd be interesting to see what could be done with boards like this
Re:Forge – A Django SaaS Framework on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @02:21PM (#30781587)
This looks awesome! Thanks for sharing - I've been looking for a nice django/react starter kit to play with (especially as a less front-end inclined dev). Looking forward to the thread on your Show HN!
Re:The ownership and future of Mullvad VPN on Thursday September 16, 2021 @10:54AM (#28552601)
I love Mullvad, I've been a happy user of theirs for many years!
+1 for this, I can't scroll at all on Firefox. Works on Chrome though
This is awesome! It got me curious about something like this for python and I stumbled upon Wolf [0], which looks pretty cool.

I like to use http://http.rip/ for this!
Re:Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair? on Friday June 18, 2021 @07:11PM (#27556031)
I would second this - my parents bought them as well after trying mine (Dad got a Titan, Mom got an Omega)! I've been using it for about a year now and have no complaints at all. Great lumbar support too.
Re:Apache Superset 1.1 on Tuesday June 08, 2021 @09:22PM (#27443166)
+1 for metabase, I've used it all over the place
Re:Improving Shell Workflows with Fzf on Tuesday March 30, 2021 @01:20PM (#26637440)
I would highly recommend looking at something like kubectx [0] to manage switching between kubernetes contexts! I've been using this for a while now and have it aliased to kx. It supports tab completion, as well as fzf integration if you have it installed [1]. There's also kubens in there which does the same for namespaces!

Re:Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012) on Monday December 28, 2020 @09:26PM (#25566024)
+1 for nix and home-manager - I recently switched to this setup (still learning/experimenting a lot, link here [0]) and have been very happy!

Re:Centos.rip on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @09:03AM (#25358518)
any Ubuntu LTS version!
I recently began using Nix as such on my current MBP - I'm a big fan!
Re:Ask HN: Linux Alternative to macOS? on Thursday August 20, 2020 @09:26AM (#24222963)
I'd recommend checking out Elementary OS [0]. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic), so you have the support of one of the (arguably) larger Linux communities, and you have the freedom to do what you like. It has a custom desktop environment meant to feel more like macOS, and decent keyboard shortcuts.

Ah okay cool, makes sense.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the response - looking forward to trying it out this weekend!
Congrats on the launch - looks very interesting!

Are there any performance implications using this custom runtime?

Have you used this in production systems?

Are there any known limitations of using sysbox?

Re:Flipper Zero – Tamagochi for Hackers on Thursday July 30, 2020 @10:44AM (#23998767)
This looks awesome! Just backed - very excited for February!
Looks pretty interesting!

I've been using Cloudcraft [0] for a while now for AWS diagrams, and I'm quite happy with it - it even can do some cost estimation stuff based on resources you have in your diagrams!
