Is it me or so far all the current HN replies to this particular “why” ask seem not even remotely answering it?

Is everyone out watching the eclipse? I thought more people would report that Github is down.
Re:Winamp Skin Museum on Thursday July 02, 2026 @10:29AM (#48762172)
Yesterday someone put a Winamp-vibe radio player on a Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.54 LCD. Now if only these skins can be ported to that too. I’m in awe!
“Sign in with Apple” allows me to use a random “Hide My Email” address for services that I can’t bother with so it’s absolutely a godsend for me.
Re:So Long, Gitpod on Sunday May 05, 2024 @08:55AM (#40264522)
In January they laid off 28% (21 employees) which meant they had 54 left after the January layoff round.

Last week they laid off ~43 (as per the laid-off employee’s blog post above).

Does that mean they now have only 9 employees left? Did I do the maths right?

Update: my bad. The last layoff around was January 2023. It has been 1 year 4 months since.

I got the Deutschlandticket for May and am tempted to travel from Berlin to Stralsund. Using RE/RB for this journeh takes more or less three hours without any train change (so not having to deal with the possible delay(s) and missing connecting rides), however I do hope the operator supports reserving a seat in advance with this subscription, cause otherwise showing up at the station not knowing for sure I'd have a seat would deter me from using this offer and instead just book ICE/IC (if any).
Re:Act: Run your GitHub Actions locally on Saturday November 26, 2022 @11:57AM (#33754323)
Yeah, 60GB (“big”) and there is a “large” act’s Docker image whose size is 16GB: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/107#issuecomment-760376...
Silly ask but is this similar to Atlassian Assist? https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220442/atlassian-ass...
Same for me. Extending an internal API with simple queries took me half a day to get my mind around to. Learning about a warehouse system with a bazillion schemas, toggles and cogs and endless conditionals can while a few days of mine and I came out feeling happy and content, and wanted to do more, nonstop.
I am in a similar situation. Lately I repeat to myself: "do not what you can, do what you must" to fight off my fight/flight response. It works about 40% of those situations that I was in.

Being a Distinguished Engineer is the highest there is for an engineer. He moved away from management and max'd out on the engineering track.

Re:Many use cases don’t require Kafka (2019) on Sunday January 31, 2021 @06:53PM (#25983908)
I once looked into authen/authorization with Kafka topics and whether one can only be allowed to subscribe to specific ones and came up short with any solution to how to do it with Kafka. From my POV, points: 1 to 4 listed above now have been moved to one single point (Kafka) and its capabilities are a lot limited than those other tools/entrypoints (of data access) mentioned. Have there been new development to Kafka's IAM?
I appreciate these public comments on logistics issues like exchange rate and the sharing of service providers very much. As a freelancer in Viet Nam, this came up multiple times whilst I started out and even though my rate delta was only about 20-25%, that was already something.

Best of luck to you two.

Do you mind if I ask how long this takes right now with you and how long you expect it to take to be fast?

Re:Gatwick airport trial for valet-parking robots on Saturday January 26, 2019 @10:23PM (#19010189)
I found a VR video (which needs dragging around quite a bit on my computer to find the desired angle): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIaxPa2aUDI that showed the car being put into its slot. Looks pretty neat.
The default iOS weather app uses data from IBM’s Weather Channel. Your previous comment (re: app) is misleading.
I think he/she uses Docker as a development tool on his machine, with volumes and everything.

I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around this. What are the differences between this and CloudFront?
Re:Rain ruins one of Norway’s richest men on Sunday September 16, 2018 @08:10AM (#17998533)
Mind if I ask who? Honest question :).
Have to disagree. Viettel (Vietnam) does offer 1GB a day for a monthly cost of $7. I have 3 bars minimum with LTE/4G on mountains (remote ones even) and islands.
I’m one of these new subscribers (from Viet Nam) that this campaign appeals to. The offer was too good to ignore ($1 for first 6 weeks, $4 each week after for the Guardian Weekly). There’s a bit of adjustment from my side because stories and writings in the print edition are different from my usually top-HN, popular-Twitter articles, but I’ve grown to it. Local expats in my place have no idea of this free int’l delivery, so for a long time they have been paying local importers/newstands a heft ton of money for these papers.
Re:Firefox Send: Private, Encrypted File Sharing on Thursday October 12, 2017 @01:58AM (#15455953)
I've just uploaded a 140MB file from my mountain cabin (in Viet Nam) and it was lightning fast. I then gave the link to a friend of mine residing in Melbourne, Australia and his download speed was blazing fast as well. Would be keen to learn more about the infrastructure setup behind this service to achieve such a good performance.

Hey brokedev,

I can help with your CV. That's something you can improve right now (besides active Twitter account/Github/Blog) to start shooting for jobs. I haven't been in your situation before but have dealt with such management, so I understand the feeling. Let me know if I can help. My contact is in my profile, or you can reach out to me via Twitter @rebyn.

Cheers, T.

Still better than nothing :).

How can I donate to Ruby Central? Checked out their "Support" page yet it didn't help much. Any easier ways like donating via Paypal?
Have the majority of devs upgraded to 10.8? I thought most of us still stays with 10.7 :(.
