News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

And yet the saying goes 'Ideas are cheap, execution is everything.'
Why? It is a very practical choice.

Rust for the backend, React for the frontend, what's the problem?

Thanks for mentioning.
Locally hosted server? AWS ECS instance?

I also realize there's Amazon CodeCommit, interesting.

How does it handle conflicts?
Tailscale is one of those services that feel too good to be true. I have known about it but can't get myself to trust it.
I was thinking about this, but how does syncthing handle conflicts?
Interesting, thanks for bringing it up.
Thank you, I was considering this but I need to be able to not rely on both machines being online.
Yeah of course a firewall, I just don't know enough about the exact setup there, and that's part of my question.

Diving into that rabbit hole now.

Why the clickbait title? It cheapens the first impression greatly.

Ask HN: How do you sync your Git repos across machines at home?

I have a multi machine setup and I don't want to use a third party service as a proxy to what I could be doing locally.One obvious answer is to stand up my own local git server, perhaps finally put those Raspberry-pi's.Any suggestions to improve upon this?Even if I do go down the path of the raspberry pi, how do I configure it to hide behind the router where it is shielded from the external...

Do you work too hard or spend a lot of time on work? (before downvoting me, please consider that those things maybe different)
Yes, that's actually largely a part of the question.

You can't carry a MiSTer in your Pocket, but you can Dock a Pocket.

It doesn't support a few power-hungry systems supported by MiSTer.

MiSTer doesn't support OG physical carts.

These kinds of things are a canary in the coal mine indicating an overall tone of the company that reflects through more tangible benefits and culture.
Re:Tarsnap has given 2^18 dollars to open source on Wednesday October 25, 2023 @09:50AM (#38012754)
I wonder if there's a license pegged to some meaningful metric (a hard problem unto itself), that prevents usage if the dev fund/devs are not compensated an X amount in a specified interval.

Something like an SOS License.

    Support Open Source

    ...

    All development on this project will cease to exist if dev fund does not meet "DOL Software Dev CPI adjusted Blah Blah Salary" * Number of active/approved devs.

    Bugfixes will stop if dev fund falls below Y amount or something

    ...

Just some half baked thoughts, many conditions can be added or removed depending on the project structure/goals, but the underlying thought would be that Devs Get Paid is a key requirement in there somewhere.

Lots to consider here, but it's weird that no popular licenses have this as a clause in there - almost like it's frowned upon to ask for money?

Tell HN: Deceptive Amazon Day Shipping Option with “Buy Now” on Amazon.com

I bought a (time sensitive) product that was advertised as one day prime delivery. When I checked up on it, it showed me that it is set to arrive much later mid-week (+3 days than advertised.)On closer inspection, I realized that I had used the 'Buy Now' option that only uses the Prime Day shipping option.To me, that is a solid dark pattern and is making me seriously consider cancelling Prime...

Thanks for those examples, that's exactly what I'm missing. If you know of anymore please do share.
Handling large data basically. I already work with small data distributed systems.
I already work on those. But scale does bring in a new set of challenges, and I am specifically looking for experience with that.

Ask HN: How does the Unity licensing change affect me?

I get that they've hit the self-destruct button.But I'm interested to know how this affects me as someone who owns games across multiple platforms - steam/epic/gog/etc, console physical/digital etc.The policy might affect future updates, but what about stuff I've already paid for?
