Hi, OP here - your country is amazing and I'd love to visit beyond the major cities. This was mostly a ski trip and my first time here, so I barely got a chance to get out of town - but I do intend to come back next winter and go visit

Yeah, I do agree with that. Tho in my defence, I put thatbin to balance out the self-pityness of the rest of it :)

lmao, glad you got a chuckle out of that. Just for context to other HNers, that quote is from a satire piece[1] and in no way was I building the next Disneyworld [1] https://sidverma.io/posts/diary-of-a-new-employee&#x2

Haha that's fair. Though I wouldn't say I need to, but I like to. These are the few times I get to work with my hands, and having some accountability of an exchange helps with consistency and discipline. But YMMV of course.

Tbf that was exactly my point. An adult might use 'inference' and 'reasoning' to ask clarification, or go with an internal logic of their choosing. ChatGPT here went with a lexigraphical order in Python for some reason,

> if running NPM to install dependencies on pod startup is slow Loading the AWS SDK via `require` was slow, not installing. As sibling comment says - collapsing different SDKs into one helped reduce loading times of the many SDKs.

That'd be 'ProRes RAW', which I don't think an iPhone can shoot in. Log is still processed video, just graded in a flatter profile so you can do more degrees of adjustments in different dimensions like color and exposure

I can't agree that "global public square don't work for humans" - but even if that were the case, it's still too late to just reverse course. As long it's possible, viable and largely desired, the market will s

It feels like I have no laptop to choose form right now in the market, but here's what I'd like: 1. WiFi+Bluetooth and graphic cards which don't suck on Linux. No Broadcom or Nvidea. 2. Good body without any deck flex, and no

Just to clarify this further - most good recipe writers would use actual prep times, but they start from the state of listed ingredients. If the ingredients mention '3 whole onions' and the steps list chopping them, the recipe wou

This isn't sitting well with me at all. Of course it had to be done, but I also think it's a scary precedent. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then the

Yeah, the comments seem to imply a case of 'commenting before reading the content' behavior to me.

I started self-hosting most of my stuff for a while and had been putting off moving to MP3s and AirSonic for a while because Spotify seemed pretty good, and it always had the escape route. Looks like this is what forces my move now :(

Tangential for folks with more bluetooth knowledge than me - is there any bluetooth profile (or plans for a future high-bandwidth bluetooth version) which can support high quality audio while also supporting microphones? HFS/HSP is one

A color-blind poster here - this month has been the first time that I've noticed colors in stars (or planet, specifically). Mars is very close and red these days, which I hadn't noticed before. I got quite giddy when I first saw a

Yeah, I too have noticed that. Haven't seen a lot of terraform usage for personal services. What are the issues with syncthing?

Sync's docs were a bit outdated, yes. Had to spend some time to get it up and running. The config I ended up using - https://0bin.net/paste/gnWY4+Tn-jZ2UMZm#RgQfZ3uD7MIlK7nWKLLX... It's deployed on docker, p

Remote server's a 20USD/month DigitalOcean droplet with 4GB memory. Though even half of that would also have specified for these services. Home server's a Raspberry Pi 4.
