Ya everyone replied with this and I have used it. It has been a year or so, so I will try it again, but I remember it missing some pretty big stuff.
Needs ublock and I would use it

ctrl+r still great for targeting your make targets :)

now that the duo is out, the air seems like a tech demo they needed to validate sold to the public
Regardless of AI gen'd article... Cognito does have some rough edges. One day I'd like to make a best practices Cloudformation template (if doesn't already exist) that includes things like which login name to set, notification lambdas and the like.

One big pro about cognito.. can't beat the price.

> stakeholder buy-in

Fixing bugs, improving performance, paying down technical debt all require this as well, which makes them significantly more difficult to actually implement.

Knobs on wheel, especially for the controls on this, are normal in performance vehicles.
From my understanding, if you want to use native Claude in AWS Bedrock, it runs from an AWS datacenter. I'm guessing that's why regardless of running your own stack... they still need a footprint in all the major clouds.
Sorry - significantly better was overreaction from my part. My view of Myrtle beach is somewhat muddied by the reason I was there in the first place. Was in GA for a wedding, was going to go to FL, but couldn't due to a hurricane and ended up quickly shuffling to Myrtle Beach. Felt like a memory of a town. I do have a coworker who recommended me some good spots, but not sure if I will ever make it back there https://maps.app.goo.gl/EbWrjJ92qgV3vx598.

Gatlinburg is maybe the ultimate tourist trap. Was hilariously enough also around there for a wedding.

I can't really argue for either as destinations. Both of these places I don't think I would go over other available options.

Gatlinburg is not my thing... but is significantly better than Myrtle Beach.
Yes haha - a bike coming from _somewhere_
Its pretty safe to assume on a trail if you hear a bell that a bike is coming up behind you.
Re:Dobase – Your workspace, your server on Thursday March 26, 2026 @10:13PM (#47538388)
Here are a few things off the top:

- horrible optimization

    - video calls will easily bloat 1-3gb of ram
- buggy, things that should work sometimes don't

    - e.g. sometimes you click to write... you get a spinner, wait 10 seconds
- poor ux. I have been using it for 4+ years at work, still have trouble finding things

- yeah, all things in one interface

These are opinions. People can have different. To me, its just a slow and difficult to navigate mess that doesn't know what it wants to be.

Re:Dobase – Your workspace, your server on Thursday March 26, 2026 @09:49PM (#47538197)
Clickup is kinda like this (trash software btw) where it combines all these things. Its super cumbersome to deal with all of them in the same UI. For example, you will be chatting with someone, need to look at ticket, you have to completely leave the context of the chat to find the ticket. Yeah you can have multiple tabs, but still cumbersome. Would rather have a chat app for chat, documentation in documentation... so on.

When even my "boomer" aged and non-tech savvy dad who has always used an iPhone notices the update is bad, I think you are in at least a little bit of trouble if you don't quickly course correct.

this looks like a rip off of another monitor that I can't quite put my finger on...
Re:Show HN: Base, an SQLite database editor for macOS on Monday August 25, 2025 @01:31PM (#45016391)
So apparently this has been around for 15 years? I would have bought this years ago, but it never showed up on any of my searches... google, reddit, producthunt, alternativeto... feel like I just shifted into another dimension where this has apparently... always existed?

What do they use it for?
This seems pretty different from the functionality alpine provides, no?
Re:Windows 11 available on October 5 on Tuesday August 31, 2021 @01:26PM (#28370907)
I would assume it's because they've already won the younger market via near total dominance in the k-12 education sector, so no reason to advertise to that crowd.
Re:Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @10:02AM (#27290594)
I don't know how large of a concern this is, but Amazons wide growth allows using revenue from their higher profit sectors (such as aws) to force out competitors in other lower margin sectors they are involved with such as grocery stores. This also may very well be a strategy other large conglomerates utilize.

Re:Mighty Makes Google Chrome Faster on Tuesday April 27, 2021 @07:26PM (#26963363)
To me this doesn't really make much sense to me as its own product, but it seems ripe for an acquisition play. This would make an excellent addition to say the Office 365 or Dropbox suite of tools.
I have a similar theory about motorcycles. It's not batteries included, and some people ride like absolute madmen increasing the fatality rate.
Re:Don’t Underestimate the Power of a Walk on Monday February 08, 2021 @01:14PM (#26068009)
One other important thing when walking in snow/ice is that even the smallest slip can potentially strain/pull a muscle just due to the rapid movement.
Re:Right Forge on Friday January 29, 2021 @04:10PM (#25962586)
At the core I think a service like this is a good idea, but the amount of political rhetoric in the landing page would make me not want to use this service. Would prefer the service be completely agnostic to the underlying users and not favor a political party or ideology.

That being said, I think this is more a reaction to a business need/market opportunity that exists rather than a true attempt at a platform that is free for all to use.

Re:I am closing down the Cordless project on Friday January 08, 2021 @09:57AM (#25685295)
I wonder how long until Discord starts blocking things like Matrix or IRC Bridges. That or the Bot API may already be useful enough to say something "works", but is so functionally useless that you have no reason to use it. (e.g. you can bridge to a channel, but not bridge instant messages)
