Haha, agreed. Like I alluded to in my post, many of the best things in my life have come from just being thrown into the deep end. If standing at the edge of a pool and ruminating …

Thank you for the perspective. This is a good way of framing the dilemma.

I wish there was a way to make this decision rationally. My wife and I are coming up to the point of no return. We either do it now, or never. Now let's try to figure this out: Do …

Two thoughts come to mind: First, looking at the data is always a good idea. Thank you for adding that information and correcting the record. Second, it may be counter-productive t…

To report back on this, I contacted the various email addresses given in OP's article. For people with GDPR rights, this link helps make a DSAR (though interestingly the US and man…

I can't edit my comment, but to the people responding here, thank you for adding all this information. It really helped elucidate why VRAM vs RAM is a distinction and also prevents…

> spinning disks have been replaced by NVMe solid state drives with near-RAM I/O bandwidth Am I missing something here? Even Optane is an order of magnitude slower than RAM. Yes, u…

How does this work for the myriad banks I've had to prove my identity to in the same way? I'll be attempting steps 1-4 and see what Persona comes back with.

I'm reasonably sure funding for the arts is globally as low as can be. If we applied the rule of "it has to be good to be worth it" and money is the main indicator for "good", then…

Salient point, regarding the 'no' bit. I agree completely. But since I was responding to a likely troll, there wasn't much point elaborating further. Thanks for the added informati…

Yuck. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. > Comments should get more thoughtful a…

Things that can only be used by an exclusive elite don't tend to survive, unless we're talking super-yachts. AI is only going to work if enough people can actually meaningfully use…

Valid point, but would be stronger if 'their' had been spelled correctly.

Ads, which are the sole reason for the attention-grabbing-at-all-costs society we find ourselves in, are, in my opinion, one of the greatest cancers to ever befall us.

If they'd protected their knowledge from AI crawlers before it was too late, they might stand a chance, but in this climate, they're just adding nails to their coffin.

Broadly, I agree with your sentiment. As soon as some people rule over others, given enough time, things creep towards total enslavement and disenfranchisement of the others. This …

The question is why we have to work 8h a day to begin with. Or why we don't earn more. If productivity goes up, something has to give. We either work less or we earn more. If produ…

This is the 'ends justify the means' argument. No matter how ruthlessly power / money was accumulated by a person, the fact that they somehow did it, justifies it. It's undeniable …

For quite a while, I had to keep using flexbox instead of grids, because grids killed performance, funnily enough. That seems to have been rectified with modern browsers though, fu…

The question is where this will lead and what, if anything will, should or can be done to put the brakes on this wealth (re-)distribution. It feels as though over the last few deca…

A mote of dust doesn't ignore gravity in a vacuum ;)

It supports docker swarm, but I've never used it like that. As I may need multi node in the future, I was asking the question to see if it would make it 'easy' to orchestrate multi…

How does this compare to something like Dokku?

I've found Gemini 2.5 pro to handle it ok. It forgets small things like using the deprecated model instead of baseModel and things like that, but nothing dramatic.

The most substantial one is a local business directory. It's exactly the right level of medium complexity where Pocketbase shines. It's all the standard stuff: - User signups and a…
