Re:Gemini 4 Argon on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @09:53AM (#50087828)
The Google Gemini subscription landscape is such a mess... gemini.google.com welcomes me with "Look what you can do with Gemini 4", but the model selection is 3.6 Flash, 3.8 Thinking, and 3.1 Pro...
Re:Interrail: 6,379Km and 13 Countries over 7 weeks on Monday July 13, 2026 @06:09AM (#48890356)
I Interrailed through Northern and Eastern Europe 20 years ago when it was mostly used by students? It was amazing and I really think it brings europeans closer together. Glad it is still around!

Migrated 700GB of photos from Google to local Immich. The whole family uses it and we’re happy to be supporting the project!
Re:Tailscale SSH is now Generally Available on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @03:21AM (#40061534)
We use Tailscale quite heavily and the SSH feature. Along with many other features, it is great. However, the article doesn't mention pricing, which for me personally seems quite high at $18/month/user. [1]

Re:Open Source Carta Alternative – Cap.octolane.com on Friday January 12, 2024 @03:46AM (#38965639)
With LTSE Equity also closing its doors, it's nice to see open-source cap table management solutions!
While many people are likely more knowledgeable about this topic than I, I stumbled upon this Bloomberg video titled "This Is How Huawei Shocked America With a Smartphone" by chance a couple of weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08myo1UdTZ8. It provided some helpful context for me, and I thought it might be valuable for others as well.
Plants did not get approved ;)
Re:Adversarial Learning for Good: On Deep Learning Blindspots on Friday December 29, 2017 @11:45AM (#16030306)
I think it would be beneficial to explicitly mention model extraction attacks since they (kind of) enable such attacks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12557782
Re:Afraid of Makefiles? Don't be on Friday August 18, 2017 @01:09AM (#15043743)
I did not know people are afraid of Makefiles. Maybe a naïve question, but what is so scary about make?
I ask myself how many people are storing _potential_ sensitive information without application level encryption so that AWS decides to build such tool... slightly distressing.

> As far as I can tell you can’t step through tests in the debugger

Maybe I am missing something, but that is not correct. You can debug tests the same way as you debug any other code. Even works with the mentioned/used Go extension for VS Code.

Re:gRPC in Production on Friday July 21, 2017 @08:09PM (#14824662)
I like the approach of custom name resolver though. Pretty straight forward to build one e.g. backed by Consul.
Re:Microsoft is Hiring Go engineers to work on Kubernetes on Wednesday July 19, 2017 @04:21PM (#14807550)
Given "Linux Namespaces and Go Don't Mix" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14470231) I am not so sure?
Re:What Event Sourcing is not on Sunday May 07, 2017 @03:52PM (#14287248)
I am glad DDD is not mentioned in this article, could have been called out though.
I thought the Android team is switching to native Java 8 support anyway?

Re:An Open Letter to the JCP Executive Committee on Friday May 05, 2017 @03:19PM (#14276097)
Modularization itself is complex. No matter if OSGi, Jigsaw or whatever, modularization done right is non trivial. I wonder when ppl. start realizing that instead of blaming it on implementations.
Re:Wrapping up Java 9 new Features on Thursday May 04, 2017 @02:43PM (#14267528)
Jetty? OpenHAB?
Re:Wrapping up Java 9 new Features on Thursday May 04, 2017 @02:37PM (#14267483)
I don't think that this is true: OpenHAB, Nexus 3, a lot of the enterprise application servers... One can probably compile a pretty long list of things "running in production" using OSGi.

One additional thing which is missing in the post is that AES-GCM is (finally!!) becoming usable: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/246

Re:New JIT optimizer in the Zing JVM on Wednesday May 03, 2017 @01:50PM (#14258258)
To quote the FAQ:

>The single license annual subscription price for Zing is $3500 USD per server, with significantly lower prices for higher volumes and longer-term subscriptions.

Isn't that how most larger conferences are?
