I found that Nucleares on steam has filled the same niche of simulation/button pressing games for me recently.

I think CNCF is at the point where you can assume that "there's a CNCF project for that" is true for anything container/kubernetes related.

Ask HN: How do you get a work-life balance if work is your life?

Since I was a kid I was always the 'standard nerd'. Learning programming in his spare time, playing lots of video games etc. This lead me to getting a very good job straight out college. I'm now mid-20s and I love my job, I get to deal with 'big data' that I always wanted to work with. As a result, I identify myself a lot with my job.Though I have realized that I don't really have any work-life...

Ask HN: How do you decide what to eat/mealplan?

For many years now most of my meals end up being junk food. My analysis is that this is mostly due to mental issues (ADHD), decision paralysis on what to cook as well as uncertainty on the huge number of different diets and advice you can find online (reduce carbs? Reduce fats? Eat lettuce all day?).Planning a couple of days worth of good meals is seeming like an impossible task, let alone a...

Ask HN: Has anyone leveraged GDPR to overturn automated bans?

There are many headlines of people getting their <FAANG/Big Company> accounts banned and losing access to a lot of important documents or services.

Re:The Ripe NCC Has Run Out of IPv4 Addresses on Monday November 25, 2019 @11:49AM (#21629993)
My interest is twofold:

a) for one as a response against CGN, thankfully my ISP isn't using one right now but I have a hunch they're going to start becoming a lot more common in the future. and b) as a hacker I'm interested to finally set it up and play around with it.

Also IMO even if it doesn't bring any improvements to the general consumer given all the pressure to start switching to IPv6 it is a good thing to be interested about it, pressuring more ISPs to start supporting it.

And yet my ISP still doesn't support IPv6...

Until something forces the transition nothing is going to change.

If you don't mind to answer, how do you deal with backups for that much data?

If you are looking for a web to cellular API check out twilio[1], seen it recommended by a lot of people and am planning to use it for a few projects I have in mind.

Re:An introduction to Tmux on Saturday April 02, 2016 @08:53AM (#11411341)
I love tmux but it appears to be messing with my terminal colors for some reason, especially in vim and after enabling 256 color mode.(Also the line numbers in vim appears to be bold in tmux when they aren't if run directly from the terminal, weird.)
