    I've tried that and it just feels incomplete. The VM competes for resources with the host machine. And then it's a bit awkward where the focus of the mouse is. When you run Linux n…

    Ask HN: Best Linux Laptop?

    This is the first I've heard of Falcon. Have you used it for a "real" project? It'd be interesting to know the tradeoffs when considering it against something like Django Rest Fram…

    Ask HN: Is there an Israeli equivalent of HN?

    I'm interested in knowing more about what's going on in the startup scene in Israel and was wondering if there's a platform that's used to keep the community together.
