Sacrificing bandwidth for range and reliability would be a welcome change, but I’ve far passed the point where all news about Wifi just strikes me as marketing bullshit.

English and Swedish have tons of similar words since they are closely related, as do most Germanic languages. The older a word is, the more similar it usually is.

I have no idea what Gleam or Tangled is, so for me this headline might as well be an article from The Onion satirizing HN. I also refuse to believe any of these two things are large enough, like say Postgres, that one can claim everyone sho

Moving from MariaDB to SQLite and not Postgres for a web application of this scale is insane. I wonder what went into the discussion behind this.

”typical Postgres setups” do not include connection poolers to begin with, this is not a Postgres issue.

I’m an Organic Maps user and from a cursory glance I can see no reason to use CoMaps instead, it looks like the same app and I’d wish they’d make an attempt to clearer differentiate themselves since this will be an obvious question.

”Viking” is not a language, it’s not even an ethnic group. The language you’re probably referring to is Old Norse.

The memory requirements, yes. The crashing, no. The OS should not crash because memory is running out, but the solution is far from obvious or standardized. My recommendation for RAM constrained systems would be to use zswap combined with a

I’m not so sure the uncertainty around _regulation_ is the concern here.

The first few hundred words on that page does not explain why I should care about this, and amazingly neither does the comments here on HN.
