I know Roku doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record but I’ve owned them relatively trouble free since at least 2010, having refreshed them all once or twice since. Way back when Apple and Amazon were fighting Roku was the only one th

I have never come across a post on HN that was so scarily describing my current day to day and with a comment I agree with so wholeheartedly. I’ve spent the majority of my career in tech with a finance angle to it, mostly sales and use tax

You’ve captured the lions share of the problem. My personal hobbies as well as an off-road race we started amongst friends years ago accidentally becoming insanely popular has lead to me getting to know and becoming friends with auto relate

THIS is the real problem. For _most_ projects upgrading from 8 to 9 meant just adding a few packages that were removed from default JDK with Jigsaw. That part is generally fine, even with OSGi hell. The Javax -> Jakarta changes for valid

I do both. I’ve got lots of not computer hobbies (and kids) and I have tinker projects. I usually use early morning a couple days a week for tinker time as I’m an early riser.

It does. Primarily, worker threads query the DB for jobs to pick up. They can write state back when running a job, and they can have configurable (per job type) retry rules. So in your case, the crash would likely leave it in an open/r

I have a 15 year old Brother black and white laser all-in-one and a 6 year old black and white laser with Wi-Fi still on the starter toner in my office. They work on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I can print to the Wi-Fi one from my iPhone. In o

I follow it pretty closely. I don’t have any automation setup for changelogs or anything at this point, but it’s pretty easy for me, as back in ye old SVN/Trac days there were similar FIX, etc. semantics. I often have trouble with enou

I’ve been using it for a long time and I’d happily pay $100 for it. It can consume swagger/openapi docs and generate calls. It can generate code snippets and cURL requests. You can extract values from one response body to use as a vari

I keep my lid closed as well and I’ve never had it not wake up. Though, with the latest is version it has seemed slower to wake at times.

It’s _mostly_ kinda sorta like that. There are broad groups that are basically the same; Craftsman and Dewalt being owned by Black and Decker, for instance. But it’s a crazy web depending on particular tools or features it goes from a coupl

I’ve got the TS 3 Plus dock (which has Ethernet) and it has been working flawlessly on my 2020 MBP (Intel) the entire time. I _think_ there was a firmware update in the early days that unlocked the 85 or 90 watt charging. I had heartburn ab

Pretty sure it would be at most $5 - I’ll have to double check. We pay for premium Active Directory (almost exclusively to get the extra security features), so that might be why it works. So the answer really is, yeah, it’s got to be paid f

I found with admin rules turned up I was getting the same. And you can’t have different rules per service, such as daily for email but every time for Admin console. So I did what I probably should’ve done, created two different accounts for

I thought it was first or firstOrNull. Or is there a new Kotlin collection method I need to learn about? Aside, Kotlin collection extensions might be my favorite thing I learned in the last two years.

We had something similar in the Pacific Northwest of the US last month. It’s not uncommon for us to see a few days per summer in the 97-102 (36-39C) range but it will always be in the 50-60 (10-15C)range at night. It’s rarer that we see 2 s

I was 30 (8 years ago) when I was diagnosed with it, but my teachers and friends had joked about my “ADD” since I was a kid. A coworker was talking about their kid’s diagnosis and mentioned a bunch of the things they checked for and a littl

If RDS or other “hard to replicate very quickly during disaster” infra is being run I personally would still have cross A-Z replication at minimum, to reduce network costs I would configure the “other zone” as a backup replica only and not

As someone who was a motorcycle safety instructor, which required a ton of training and memorization of safety statistics for a 20 something year old in order to teach new riders for a few summers during college - the numbers agree with you

I took CS among others in high school but didn’t have to sacrifice foreign language for it. It uses different parts of your brain. Honestly, my exposure to foreign languages has helped me at various points building tech where I may have mad

I’ve lived in Oregon most my life. Not unlike Washington (or many other states), when you get out of the metro areas the voting turns from “blue” to “red” pretty quickly. East of Bend has significantly more in common with Idaho than the val

And on many of these points I agree... I was careful to choose popular, and not project opinions about SQL/NoSQL/etc. In my field, most of our data is relational and we use NoSQL for caching, queues, shared work, ETL performance,

I felt the exact same way until last year. Java 8+, IntelliJ IDEA, and Lombok combined massively reduced boilerplate. Groovy was great for “more than Bash” and DSLs. I was wrong. Last year we gave Kotlin a try as a team and at this point we

I went with a Filco Ninja Majestouch TKL about four years ago and I’ve loved it. I needed ten keyless because my new under desk keyboard/mouse tray setup wasn’t really wide enough for a super wide keyboard. You can choose the switch ty

Screen resolution problems make a lot of sense. I’ve built a few Raspberry Pi gameboys lately with a 3.5” 640x480 screen and they look great but text is _tough_.

I’ve never tried Odroid but Steamlink, even on a Pi4 is not without flaws. Pi3B+ wired has been mostly unsatisfactory for me and Pi Zero W/Pi3 wireless have been nearly inoperable. Have you had a different experience? If so- what have
