News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

someone had to pay the cost. Apollo (as iOS app) and other 3rd party apps should be able to charge its users rather than ranting over news and shutting down.

Re:Docker on Mac is slow. Here's the fix on Thursday December 22, 2022 @11:14PM (#34102274)
false. i used windows and migrate to linux (starting with ubuntu) 10 years ago. i know how it feels to help a co-worker setting up a ruby on rails project on windows. we spent it full day.

on linux, we spent no more than one hour.

those editors you mentioned are also available on linux nowadays.

if someone needs to test something on windows, there's "windows on aws" (i used it once)

Re:Docker on Mac is slow. Here's the fix on Thursday December 22, 2022 @11:11PM (#34102257)
very true. i saw this as well when i was still working in the office ten years ago. in Linux, what you can do is mostly coding and browsing.

> We had to abandon Docker because we had folks with macOS on the team. But, other tasks (email, conference calling, scanning, word, upgrading without breakage) came with more friction, and those tend to fill up ever larger shares of my day.

this is hard. what if you're on project with

- backend (docker) - needs linux based machine - client app (iOS) - needs xcode on macOS

both are in one repository.

Re:Docker on Mac is slow. Here's the fix on Thursday December 22, 2022 @06:58PM (#34100637)
this is very true. not to mention it's very slow on its networking... i've given up docker on macOS long ago. If I was to use docker, I'll switch to my debian laptop. way much much faster.
Re:Do you really want Linux phones on Friday March 26, 2021 @08:18AM (#26591158)
I do. Mostly I just use my phone for browsing. So, I want my phone to only have firefox browser wit uBo installed. No need for other apps (messages, phone, contact, any 3rd party app)
I am just wondering, why its gem (wkhtmltoimage-binary) takes so much disk space? 170MB [0]

this. in one of the projects I am working on, we have this problem exactly. automated credit card testing problem for small donations.

we use Stripe API there. And Stripe is just suggesting to pay more for their radar check, which in our opinion, put more burden on both donors and the organization.
