You’ve unlocked a memory for me! I had that same experience when I heard a different series of squeals than normal only to realise the modem had negotiated something faster than 31.2!

I think there’s a few of us who appreciate you being up front. I’d question the intent and why it was a mistake, especially when the commit[0] message reverting said functionality states “widespread criticism” citing this very HN article ma

No different to preventing game studios being liable for mass shootings. Reminds me of the post-Columbine hysteria where media was super critical of Doom and Nine Inch Nails.

Bless! Absolutely love this, and an absolutely no disrespect, this is vibe code goodness! These are the kinds of things I have an absolute ball building, usually when I’m sitting on the couch at the end of the day duel screening. What’s the

I think we must be of a similar generation, I also remember being a kid seeing those stupid ads with celebrities “bending their finger”. It’s really gross to think how normalised gambling is. There is another side to this though, and that’s

Ask HN: Old hat devs, how do you feel about LLMs and how do you stay engaged?

I’m very much an Odoo guy who has dabbled with Django (and notably, celery in the past) but as someone who makes huge use of the Odoo OCA queue module[0], I never understood why Django never made use of the Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY to of

It almost seems intentionally AI? If anything, if my job at Maccas…ahem, McDonald's (sorry, spot the Aussie) is in marketing, I’d expect to to be promptly fired if this wasn’t expected to pass for anything less than satire.

I’m always fascinated by how heat pumps (or reverse cycle units for Australians) are not the defacto standard in other countries and somehow come up for debate in the US. I remember watching one of the many TechnologyConnections videos on t

POSY is an absolute treasure. The time and effort he puts into his videos is absolutely evident.

Left Brussels 6 hours after attending Odoo Experience and it was organised chaos at the airport. Heavy reliance on passengers checking in online first and using those details to check passengers and luggage in “manually”. I applaud the Emir

In my 40s and I’ve recently been diagnosed with inattentive adhd. TFA makes a lot of sense to me given I’m one of the rare people at my company who commutes to the office every day even though we are an in-person optional workplace. Wheneve

> Instantly speak to a sales rep Soo, if you’re like me, booking a call is a necessity. Most days, half of my day is booked. How do you work around this? That said, I do like the idea of a uniformed platform with a low barrier of entry w

Update. Turns out PyCharm does not play nice with a plethora of symlinks. :(

Well, TIL. Being relatively new to nix, you’ve let me down another rabbit hole :)

Can relate. I’ve recently taken ownership of a new work laptop with Ubuntu (with “experimental” zfs) and using dedupe on my nix store has been an absolute blessing!

I’ve blocked out 2 4 hour blocks for some work mandated sabbaticals for months now. It’s been great! People now remember the days and which block they can’t contact me, and work around it. It’s become such a successful thing that we recomme

+1 for Frigate and Reolink. I have it running in a Proxmox VM on an old dell r710 (yes, it’s sucks watts and needs replacing) but all said, Frigate, is, amazing! The ease of integration with HA is equally great.

Thanks! After reading both reddit posts, I would love for someone to deep dive into how this was possible.

Huh, what?! Mega TIL moment for me as an Australian with an electric kettle and dryer plugged into whatever power socket I wish! Reminds me of this great Technology Connections video: https://youtu.be/jMmUoZh3Hq4?si=3vSMHmU2

Amazing! I love everything about this. However, also being in Australia, I would have tried my luck with Consumer Affairs. Our new house was equipped with a gas boosted solar hot was service. The gas booster died a year out of warranty and

That position of the couch infuriating! And yes I bet you moved that lovely looking couch back after the photo :)
