This is probably a stupid question - as I’m totally unfamiliar with how interpreters call into system APIs - but would those calls use the bun runtime or the JavaScript Core engine…

That really isn’t true anymore. I’ve been using Bazzite for 9 months now and haven’t needed to boot windows once for a game. I don’t even bother checking protondb anymore. Games ju…

Curious to learn more here - why would altitude play a role here? And when you say high altitude - are we talking La Paz, Bolivia (~12k feet) or Denver, CO (~5k feet)?

It’s just an opinionated, gaming-centric build of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. It ships with everything preconfigured for typical gamers that just want a low barrier to entry and low…

I really appreciate companies that are transparent with renewals. I’m sure it cuts down on customer support load a lot too. Kagi goes as far as not billing you if you don’t use the…

I would love to buy a Rivian R2 but I will absolutely not drop that kind of money until they support CarPlay. To me - a refusal to support CarPlay is an extremely user-hostile deci…

Arguing that success is purely about the ultra high numbers seems to miss the forest for the trees. Is HN a failure because it did not reach the level of DAU as Reddit? The quality…

On the contrary - forced retirement may be a healthy prophylactic to those suffering from wealth addiction.

OpenAI’s models could be materially better than Anthropic’s and I still wouldn’t use them because I don’t want to support Altman.

My wife already has her green card through our marriage - but it expired under the Biden admin and we were given a 4 year “non-renewal extension” because USCIS was unable to proces…

Wow - actually pretty astonishing how fast their inference is. So fast it feels fake?

Why RHEL and not just Fedora? Or if you value stability - then maybe Ubuntu or one of its derivatives like Pop_OS?

Huge congratulations to the Zed team!

I feel like people who loved writing software before ai Armageddon referred to our practice as a craft and themselves as craftsman. I think I still prefer that term.

And then there’s those of us that loved writing software and loathe what AI has reduced it to.

I would really recommend playing around with Canadian specific financial planning and retirement calculators. Maybe the Canadian system is totally fucked - I don’t know. But your i…

Idk about Canada - but in the US most people are going to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement (sometimes substantially lower). Is that not the case in Canada? You only pay your…

If you’re the kind of saver that’s on target for an early retirement thru high retirement savings then you should have a pretty good idea of what your annual expenses are. Throw in…

Totally agree - it’s not at all the same. White boarding and the camaraderie you build in person are the things I miss. Thankfully my team still gets together for a week once a qua…

It takes planning but you can get your money out early via SEPP 72t disbursements and Roth conversion ladders. You can also just straight up pay the early withdrawal penalty. Depen…

Kind of crazy the negative feedback you’re getting from this. This is extremely valuable guidance for a fresh college grad into a good paying job.

I got a 25 - apparently just because my robots.txt addresses AI bots (by telling them to sod off via disallow: /)

Could you elaborate a bit more on this? Curious what your workflow looks like. Is this multiple agents running on the same feature/refactor/whatever unit of work? For concurrent bu…

Thanks for explaining that. Having a bit of a (dim) lightbulb moment now. I’ve never used Gerrit - just GitHub and GitLab and Forgejo. So I assumed the PR/MR model was more or less…
