I noticed this when it was first announced on HN as well. Hoping to give it a try as well shortly.

Hey Alex! Just wanted to say I came across Slicer three or so months ago, researching automatic provisioning for RPis (and other devices in the homelab). It piqued my interest, as …

It is possible to exist in both camps. The quality of the process affects the quality of the product, and the quality of your thought affects the quality of the process. It's a cyc…

The company cares about neither. People inside the company will care about a great many things. The people who care about users either don't have the power to act or no longer care…

Quality is 2nd best to what ? And people haven't switched to what ? Android? The situation is no better on Google OS. Apple's App Store ad initiatives have always been woeful, and …

When you mentioned offline sync and graft, I mistook you for the author of this project: https://github.com/orbitinghail/graft However, they're clearly two different projects. I do…

It was specifically for the M1 mac minis, so not too fussed about everything else, but judging from the comments, experiences are mixed. I'll try to sign up again in a week or two.…

I won't comment on the reliability of their services, as I've not experienced it. I was signing up specifically to provision a M1 mac mini, and couldn't navigate it. It was unfortu…

I was interested in provisioning one of these a few months back through Scaleway, but couldn't navigate their sign-up process without it dumping me back to the start everytime. Nor…

I don't think wpa_supplicant.conf has been used for sometime, as they moved to cloud-init for bootstrapping. It requires the network-config file instead, the format of which is doc…

What were some of the technical challenges you experienced while reverse-engineering the wallpaper system? I've been reverse-engineering (for lack of a better term) some of macOS' …

Cool project! This article is yet another reminder I need to learn Haskell (I've been meaning to for a decade), although the code from this article is approachable considering the …

Ignoring its negative connotation, it's more likely to be a highly advanced "stochastic parrot". > "You don't do that without some kind of working internal model of mathematics." T…

Swift evolution and governance is open and publicly documented. It will always be dominated by Apple engineers, but the evolution of the language is largely orthogonal to Apple's O…

My understanding of CVE is superficial at best. I thought it was just an acronym publicly identifying vulnerabilities; I didn't realise there was a political structure behind it al…

This is fascinating, but I don't know enough biology to understand the concepts at play. Could someone knowledgeable in the field explain it further?

I may have come across your app before in passing, but hadn't checked it out. I playtested aspects of a "productivity system" ( grain of salt ) with paper earlier this year. "Spont…

I hadn't seen Toca Boca. My friend's niece plays on Everskies, which I believe is something similar.

I didn't intend for what I wrote to be a criticism; that's on me. I just found it funny the most interesting step was akin to "... and now you've drawn the animal", if you understa…

This is cool, but the most interesting part is the part that requires investigation, i.e., what do the compatibility tools write to the card to make it iOS-compatible? I've done so…

This is what I was thinking, but stated much clearer than I'd have managed.

Thanks for that, it looks like my research today is cut out for me.

I'd been researching Kalman filters to smooth out some sampling values (working on mobile: anything from accelerometer values to voice activation detection), but hadn't got around …

Congratulations! Pardon my ignorance, as my understanding of mathematics at this level is beyond rusty, but what are the applications of this kind of functionality?

Irrespective of the quality of the product, you shouldn't be using obvious sock puppet accounts to try and boost your post.
