Large majority of ACs sold in the EU are air-to-air heat pumps.

I had a similar stance on this until I went through macOS -> linux with i3 -> back to macOS transition. i3 window and workspace operations on a maxed-out Dell XPS were truly instan…

I’ve been using devenv.sh for the last year for this, and never been happier.

I don't really understand the captcha hate, it's table stakes for any public-facing form. You need to pick a point on the "Ease of signup" vs. "Security" curve, and email signup + …

A couple of years ago I had to evaluate A/B test and feature flag providers, and even then when they were a young company fresh out of YC, GrowthBook stood out. Bayesian methods, b…

Yeah, that Cursor blog post is a bit iffy since they just brush over the "ripgrep is slow on large monorepos", move on to techniques they used, and then completely ignore the fact …

Nice, I did not know about this! I feel Kitty doesn't get enough love, it's all ghostty this, ghostty that, but Kitty has been my top performing terminal emulator for 10 years now.…

This is not specific to Django, but to any project using a database. Here's a list of a couple quite useful resources I used when we had to address this: * https://github.com/tbicr…

After working with Django for 8 years, I find it hard to move on to anything else. It's just the right amount of magic, and just the right amount of flexibility, and it's just such…

This kind of EM-focused articles often mention "coaching" and "career growth" -- I always wonder what does this concretely mean. Are they all managing teams of juniors straight out…

On their Masked Email feature page https://www.fastmail.com/features/masked-email/ > Companies have no way of linking different Masked Email addresses together to track you. I have…

Well they still claim it is impossible to connect different masked emails together. If you as a sender can reliably determine the target email address, then that claim is untrue as…

One concrete vulnerability is mentioned in a linked thread and described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37791500 I have created a ticket with the Fastmail support asking…

Do elaborate.

I've been using Fastmail for years now, and I'm completely satisfied. Custom domain + built-in masked email functionality works great.

Celery is the worst background task framework, except for all the others. There are bugs and issues, but because so many people are using it, you’re rarely the first to stumble upo…

Very relatable to a recent interview experience I had with a popular freelance platform for the backend developer position. I never worked at a FAANG-ish company, and in the course…

Looks great, looking forward to trying it. Interesting that you included Temporal for background task processing — did you ever use it in production in a Django project instead of …

Hi HN, I'm heavy user of Fastmail's masked email feature, but since I don't use 1Password or Bitwarden, I find it cumbersome to create masked mails by going to the Fastmail setting…

Type hints in Python add a great amount of visual noise to the code, and I actively avoid them wherever possible. If static typing is a must, use a language where static typing is …

If you're not using Vim or Emacs, and not very proficient at touch typing, you're almost certainly limited by your typing speed. Coding is an iterative process, regardless of wheth…
