Re:MacBook Neo Is So Popular That Apple Doubled Production on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @03:42PM (#48388891)
I second this, MacBook Neo is a good balance between a cheap and more than good enough machine that you can carry in your backpack everywhere

The fact that I'm not carrying a +1k USD machine all the time gives me peace of mind

In my case, I enjoy writing code too, but it's helpful to have an assistant I can ask to handle small tasks so I can focus on a specific part that requires attention to detail
It doesn't feel that way to me, I know I could probably buy a game through another digital distribution service, maybe for a bit cheaper, but it's just not worth the hassle of installing another program, signing up, and configuring things
Re:Why Nextcloud feels slow to use on Monday November 03, 2025 @07:09PM (#45806061)
Immich is actually usable, thumbnail previews work without any previous setup, and the mobile app is pretty responsive

Unlike Nextcloud, I feel I can rely on it and feel I can upgrade without issues

Couldn't someone achieve this by using a very lightweight Linux distro, setting up ssh and using Ansible?
Re:Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS on Thursday November 30, 2023 @11:12AM (#38475257)
It's amazing, makes MacOS usable when using big displays, I tried to use Yabai on my work macbook but couldn't install it due to SIP and work environment restrictions

This feels more like an ad, more than an article with actual content.
Re:On Learning to Program with LLMs on Monday October 02, 2023 @08:25AM (#37737206)
I feel LLMs are not at the point to tell me I'm wrong yet, it feels like it avoids to do it because it doesn't want to be rude. And that sucks, big part of the teaching process is the feedback loop between students and teachers doing exactly that.
Re:Raspberry Pi 5 on Thursday September 28, 2023 @09:59AM (#37689704)
This, I've been pretty happy with it as well, it's so much easier to set up as a kubernetes node than a RPi.
Parsec could work
That's one of the reasons centralized model works so well nowadays, nobody wants to take care of things anymore, self hosting your own apps is becoming a small niche
319, currently using Bitwarden to manage them and been pretty happy with it so far
Re:Retool Database on Thursday March 30, 2023 @09:22PM (#35381167)
I've had a pretty good experience with retool but its component library definitely needs more documentation, as a frontend developer I'm able to go through all those props and tinker a bit until I get something done, but it's time consuming and not intuitive at first glance.

An example of this is the Table components, which allows you to create columns and set them a specific type, but that component documentation page doesn't include a section about which column types are allowed and how they work. Even further, there's a column type called Tag that it's available for us to use, but we don't have documentation about it and Tag documentation isn't helpful either,

It wouldn't hurt to add some common examples like a storybook along some way to let us see how to configure the components like that, or json examples we can import into our projects.

Re:Why Mac speakers sound so good on Saturday February 25, 2023 @09:07AM (#34936767)
I wouldn't say it's bad, it looks above average for an open source project but definitely could use some improvements. What I hate about it is that it's not plain-looking (like HN, which has its own charm!) or very polished (like twitter, instagram, yooutube)
Re:Hyperscale in your Homelab: The Compute Blade arrives on Tuesday January 24, 2023 @09:03AM (#34503634)
I've been running a cluster like that since some years ago and definitely felt that, but it was easy to fix by adding AMD64 nodes to it

Modifying the services I'm working on to build multi-arch container images was not as straightforward as I imagined, but now I can take advantage of both ARM and AMD64 nodes on my cluster (plus I learned to do that, which is priceless)

Re:Anki SRS Algorithm : Spaced repetition explained with code on Tuesday December 27, 2022 @08:14PM (#34156278)
I think it's meant for memorization, so ideal for language learning and raw knowledge absorption (like in academic courses)
Great product, sounds like a reasonable move. Hope Gitpod can keep growing and improving even more
I don't think that's a fair comparison, machines exclusively running those CI pipelines could be very powerful
Re:Inkbase: Programmable Ink on Wednesday November 30, 2022 @03:14PM (#33806981)
Cool stuff, this demonstrates there's still a long way to go regarding building user interfaces

Also, I can imagine something like this would be very valuable when applied to language learning, especially for languages with ideograms

Re:Deno 1.26 Release Notes on Thursday September 29, 2022 @11:19AM (#33021919)
> What's better with Deno?

Scripting, tooling/IDE support (webstorm support is pretty good), documentation and standardization, infrastructure as code

> What's still worse?

Node/NPM compatibility is still hit or miss depending on the library you're trying to use, that's something Bun is trying to improve over Deno.

Also, typescript types feel very hacky and I feel that's something very important as one of Deno's biggest selling points is typescript first-class support, definitely typed is doing most of the heavy lifting but things aren't perfect.

Re:When to use Bazel? on Tuesday September 13, 2022 @06:52PM (#32831188)
Would you mind explaining why? I use Nx and it's been good, not perfect tho, so at this point I'm very skeptical about toolchaining solutions that claim they 'just work'

Re:Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade on Tuesday August 16, 2022 @02:24PM (#32486730)
This matches my experience as well, been using it since 6 or 7 years ago, and it feels nice to know I can rely on my OS install. If something breaks I have to learn how to fix it and that knowledge builds up over time. Way better than other operating systems where I'm totally screwed if something breaks up and the only thing I can do is run in circles.

I also use i3wm btw

Re:TikTok’s Poison Pill on Wednesday August 03, 2022 @10:00AM (#32331756)
The fact both Youtube and Instagram are now displaying short-form videos within their apps only makes it worse. I know it's hard to fight against it but focus on something else more worthy of your time.
