I’ve plugging away at NeoVim in my spare time trying to get it working and it took me a weeks before I just gave up and directly ripped someone else’s LazyVim config to finally get things working in a state I’m happy with.

Never mind that in order to get modern syntax highlighting and code completion you need LSP-Server, Mason, and Null-ls. The first which has per language dependencies and the 3rd is about to be archived.

Also I don’t know what world you live in but a tool a verbose and powerful as NeoVim you can spend hours just reading the documentation and getting a handle on the basics let alone configuring things to your liking

Same. I like it better than the vscode vim emulation, which is more “strict” and turns to the visual mode when selecting anything with the cursor. Which I personally think is the worse part of vim.
In the UK concrete has mainly been superseded by asphalt but there are one or two hold-outs. The M3 motorway (which heads from London down to Winchester / Southampton) has a long (ten miles?) concrete stretch which I drove along every day for years, although this is the exception that proves the rule. The road was noticeably more noisy / rumbly than others.

The fee also covers making (private use) copies of content you don't own. It's the reason the fees were instated in the 80s - when people began recording songs on the radio instead of buying the artists' tapes at the record store.

I had a very unfortunate experience with Star Labs. I had their StarLite IV laptop and it was wonderfully slim and light. I was delighted with it. The CPU is no powerhouse, but it did exactly what I needed. Then eight months later it started experiencing power issues (e.g. when I picked it up, there was a power blip and it froze). It took four months going back and forth with them before they finally refused to fix it under warranty and demanded I pay for it.

Full disclosure: they said I broke it. My side of things is that it's stayed on my desk or in a bag most of the time. It never got subjected to rough handling, and this has never happened with any other laptop I've owned. I think it was an issue with build quality if even gentle handling can break it.

The whole experience was very disappointing. I'd really hoped that supporting a smaller company like this would mean I'd get more personal support, but that wasn't the case with Star Labs. This isn't a reflection on the Byte mini PC, of course, but just be cautious about dealing with companies if their products break easily and they don't offer good customer support.

The practical kind of steam engine that drove the industrial revolution is one example. Steam engines existed earlier but when they started turning the cylinders, they became much more efficient which allowed them to be used for a much larger variety of tasks.

Arrival, The Martian, Moneyball, The Big Short, there's something magical about these movies that no matter how many times they are on TV I will just sit and watch them again.

There's a few instances in science where ideas were borne after the researcher took drugs. A good example is PCR assay.

For my "fun" projects I never minify the CSS or JS because I miss the days when you could View Source on a website and easily dig into how it works. If you're a NoScript user, go ahead and read the source and decide for yourself if you want to allow it. Much easier to maintain without all the moving parts of the JS build ecosystem as well.

> Again, I would like to stress, I am not trying to make any objective claims as to how correct your approach is. I am simply observing that there seem to be broadly two categories of programmers. Those who feel like investing time in learning and writing/modifying "tooling" is worthwhile and those who do not. I feel like you fall into the latter category.

I use zsh, with customizations. I know git, and mercurial, and a few other VCS I've forgotten. I know my way around the Linux toolkit. I can configure a Python or frontend or Go environment with whatever linters and formatters and pre-commit and so on and so on. I have a fat repo of dotfiles. Hell, I use vim whenever I need to work on headless servers or the odd config file and the like. Works fine, in that use case.

Every time I learn or modify a tool, I look at whether there is a net benefit in learning it, whether it makes me more productive. Zsh shortcuts for example are tiny, but I get a nice little productivity boost that adds up to many hours over time.

I have spent the hours learning and configuring neovim, but run up against that point where that time spent is no longer yielding that benefit, compared to just using vscode and putting up with its issues.

So, I chose one tool over another. But it's a generalization to say I somehow don't think learning "tooling" is worthwhile.
> I'm not implying that its adherents are influenced by corporations, but that its adherents have seemingly taken its tenants as holy writ instead of critically re-examining them in the context of today's open source landscape.

You can imply that all you want but that doesn't make it true. Once you allow the terms to be muddied by usage restrictions you agree with you will quickly find them also used for software with usage restrictions that you don't agree with and soon the terms will be entirely meaningless. The point of open source licenses is that they effectively put the software into the commons (which copyright on its own fails to do) and, in with copyleft licenses, to keep derivatives in the commons as well.

Non-commercial restrictions specifically don't just afect big corporations but anyone who accepts money vaguely related to their use of the software. Accept donations? Do related work for hire? Agree to fix an issue for your friend in exchange for a beer? Accept any kind of reward or sponsorship based on your status from work using the software? Better call you lawyer first to make sure the conditions allow it. More often than not, the answer is going to be "no way to tell until you get sued".

While I lack direct first-person experience, I've heard some pretty harrowing tales about the state of booking.com's backend over the years from multiple independent sources, which makes me think that "technical reasons" is at least plausible.

Also, from a quick search, Booking seems to be doing fine financially.
> we would just keep our browser windows at a smaller size

I wouldn't keep a browser at all, I would just read them in Emacs all the time or from the command line. I would also be able to use my preferred visual theme with the entire web, and not have to look at some really nasty web designs from time to time, albeit I do agree that as a game dev (long time ago) I do like when I see pretty graphic design.

However, I am not sure how my bank will do and all the other web services in just plain text. Perhaps it is possible, perhaps not?

Self-hosted Kubernetes Native uptime monitor b
Hi HN,

I created 'soon to be open-sourced' Kubernetes Native uptime checks operator to fight the expensive Uptime providers.

Its always on someone else computer, why not on yours.

It includes features like:

* Prometheus metrics
* Unlimited checks (currently only HTTP and HTTPS)
* Unlimited alerts via Slack notifications
* SSL expiry checks
* String and expression search

Give it a try and if you find issues please report them here: https://github.com/cloudders/cloudders-checks/issues
Oops - you're correct, of course.
Or Hungary, it has far right government sympathetic to Russia. And they may get kicked out of EU any time soon. Also Slovakia and Poland are wobling... And Ukraine might get conquered by Russians.

35 years ago we would fight Germany. F-35 are supposed to last until 2050!

The argument i read all the time is "i don't want to invest time in vim".
But what kind of professional spends hours uppon hours learning his craft (programming), but is unwilling to invest some of those hours into mastering professional tools?
What about sharpening the axe? The amount of time i saved by sticking to vim is definitly more that the time i needed to learn it..
IDEs are easy mode and waste of resources.
Its ok to start with them as a noob, but down the line i want to customize every part of my toolchain. (And thats just horrible to do in VSCode etc..)

> I want all my new computers/peripherals to support 10gbe, but it’s surprisingly hard (and expensive) to find.

That's because it is top of the line and very few devices actually need that kind of bandwidth. For switch-to-switch links I can see the point (and for specialized datacenter applications) but for home use it is mostly overkill.
I signed up for Midjourney recently. Not for work, just to test it out. It is indeed amazing and clearly the best image transformer right now. But I find it terribly annoying that it’s only accessible on Discord.

So much unnecessary scrolling and interface visual overload.
That doesn't detract from their point at all, it only reinforces it.

I pirate all of my movies & TV because I've decided that I'm not going to play along with geo-blocking, exclusivity deals, platform fragmentation and other anti-consumer behavior.

Make it convenient for me to pay for the service and I'll gladly pay for it. The fact is that consuming content illegally can be a lot more convenient than doing it legally and this speaks volumes about the pathetic state of affairs in the industry.
If you don't want to grant the four basic freedoms, simply don't call your license open source. Stop trying to mooch off of the goodwill around open source software.

i share your feelings and i'm a happy jetbrains customer (and i dont do java!); but i see the point of people not feeling comfortable using them specially when coming from more pared-down experiences. emacs and neovim are also snappier, vscode is marginally snappier, doesn't bother me but it's noticeable.

JB also has some glaring holes, like the inability of easily specifying an env file to load when running projects from the IDE runner (and the plugin to do this was half broken with the 2023 versions)
Well, motorcycles are allowed and they are far less safer in crash than any kei-truck would be.

I'm not getting one because of reasons you mentioned (litte kei tipper would be perfect size vehicle for my needs) but I don't see why other people should be stopped from.

If you want safety ban anything bigger than 2 ton for non-commercial use first, the SUVs and trucks sizing gonna kill more people than some random buying a kei truck for themselves.

I'm glad you have informed me of what this term is but that being said, anyone who doesn't know that term (which is probably 99.9% of English speakers) is not going to have any idea what I'm talking about. If I say "the main difference in pronunciation between Latin America and Spain is that Latin America have a lack of distinction in their pronunciation which is called seseo" no-one is going to know what I'm talking about whereas if I say "the main difference in pronunciation between Latin America and Spain is that Spanish sounds a bit softer and more lispy" everyone knows what I'm talking about immediately. I also don't consider it particularly offensive, there is no mocking of anyone with a lisp in that sentence.
I know. My comment was really a somewhat cynical view of the state of the UK's armoured vehicle capability. Our primary infantry fighting vehicle (Warrior) is about 40 years old now, and its upgrade programme has recently been canned after it proved impossible to fit modern turrets onto the antique hulls.

But the cavalry regiments (who use tanks but ride horses ceremonially) would get very upset if the state of their horses was so parlous. They must be one of the few modern organisations that actually has a career path for farriers and other horse-related trades.

You're linking to an article about brotli. I don't think gzip is affected by it. If anything, its decompression should be faster given fewer bytes to process.

The usual reason to stick to gzip level 4 is that compression gets extremely slow at marginal savings.

I would expect that cloudflare caches compressed data so they pay the compression cost only once.
not really..
vim is easy to extend and adapt.
You loose that with only vim mode in vscode.
You also loose the ecosystem and relevant core functionality like most vim core functionality like :grep :vim :make, quickfix list, arglist etc..
No, this is definitely not true. A lot of water in the middle ages was exceedingly bad quality. Especially in cities. People also have to remember that there was no running water. So people had to collect water. Because there were no sewage systems, the ground water was dangerous to drink.
Although cooking water will kill the pathogens, it does not destroy all the poissons. Also they had the miasma theory of disease, so although many old books spoke of the benefits of cooking water, it was not, in fact, known that tiny things in the water were to be killed to make it safe for consumption. Add to that that fuel in cities was expensive and needed to be transported from afar.
Also, getting a mug of beer from a vat is a lot less tedious than fetching water, making a fire and cooking it.
So no, you are in fact wrong. Especially for city life, but also for around that.

Do remember that untill Pasteur proved the Germ theory in the mid 19th centurys. Many doctors never washed their hands before a surgery. Many, many women died unnecessarily during child birth because doctors helped with labor and did research on corpses on the same day.

I meant that with your 1-3 month long stints (working remotely for a foreign company I guess?) you still have just the tourist view of a country, and not the "full package" of living there long term because you never had to deal with long term housing system, the bureaucracy, the education system, the corruption, the healthcare system, the business and tax system, the labor market, the commutes to work and the grind of the locals.

In the end you still just had the tourist experience, enjoying the best parts of life there, while being mostly isolated from the poor stuff the locals have to put up with.
Gosh, I wonder why the EU countries aren't fighting each other to pay the biggest contribution to the EU budget then, because apparently an HN contributor has found the key to economic wealth: paying more to the EU !

I don't remember the exact stats, but something like 30-50% of lethal crashes happen alone, without another vehicle involved, because drivers lose control of a vehicle.

If you hit a bridge pillar or drive off a cliff, it doesn't matter how heavy your vehicle is.

I'd for these types of crashes it's much better to have a small, nimble vehicle that is more stable and doesn't crash in the first place rather than a huge truck with poor grip that tips over if you corner too fast.
Think about it this way, if the F35 needed an extensive overhaul after each flight, there's no way it'd be suitable for the harsh environment of carrier operations.

If you look at the numbers and compare it to say Poland or Germany you'd get 2x-4x higher death numbers for any metrics.

Also the fact US statistic per mile are so high, despise it being a big country where I'd imagine most miles were highway ones probably hides even higher rate of accidents in cities.
