Re:Ask HN: Best WFH Purchases? on Sunday August 27, 2023 @09:16AM (#37282427)
I bought a leap v2 and had to return it, the top of the backrest is not straight and this is apparently almost by design and within their tolerance, which I find unbelievable for 1k+ chair.

Have been with the Steelcase Amia for 2 years now and am quite happy.

I think most things you describe are just getting used to product difference / configuration options.

Clicking an email definitely marks it as read. The calendar schedule not being revealed is a just a privacy option, each person must opt-in to share the exact meeting details.

Having used both gsuite and office I find that they both get job done fairly well

Re:Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years on Friday January 13, 2023 @08:41PM (#34376400)
Everyone talks about how docker desktop will be replaced as it's a commodity and I agree. However I see no one talking about the value Docker hub brings which is now bundled with all paid users.

By paying we didn't have to migrate anything and are now building and pushing every commit on our app as a 800mb image (I know its a little to big...). We are storing hundreds if not thousands of images and uploading / pulling TBs.

This kind of usage appears much pricier in container registry offered by cloud vendors

For hyperhidrosis, if you can tolerate the discomfort, I highly suggest using Iontophoresis. It really changed my social life after trying many other solutions that did not work.

There are now plenty of commercial machines available

This is where you might want to use the outbox pattern. If you depend on dual writes you will definitly have consistency issues at some point

Pigs do have personalities, you usually just don't spend enough with a pig to get to know him.

Thanks, that is exactly the kind of third party analysis I was looking for to add some color to all of Yugabyte's claims
Re:Distributed SQL vs. NewSQL on Tuesday January 28, 2020 @01:17PM (#22172324)
Yugabyte has great articles in general and seems almost to be good to be true what I have read.

It is just missing a bit of independent third party reviews but it does look interesting.

Anyone with hands on experience?
