Id love to develop the skill for drywall, but then amount of mess and dust it creates is too much for me and my SO. Even if I did it off site, taking a shower and changing clothes every time is a hassle.

A "simple page" but it needs multiple SaaS API keys (Openrouter, Resend, Textbelt) AND requires Temporal? I can't see how this will last/be reliable for an extended period of time. Also, how do you prevent spam?

Then don't worry about the cost of ownership because you're going to make it up in equity.

The Repair section of the article could have been mitigated by a inspection and negotiation before buying. Always negotiate repairs into the offer price.

Unless you live in an HOA, theres no real value/use in maintaining your full lot. Just let it grow, or have landscapers come in a few times a year and keep things trimmed. Forget irrigation.

Since EVs have democratized speed, there's literally no reason for EV supercar/hypercars. Especially at ~ $650k USD.

You don't need to solve whats going on around you, just whatever works for you. The fact your chose the word "coping" says more about your mindset than those you're generalizing about.

Customers have proven they'd rather pay less for the option to see ads. As long as you can pay for an ad-less experience, I see no problem with it.

Exactly. Express your displeasure and stop interacting. Feels like people forgot how to communicate with each other.

The obvious answer is to talk to people face to face. Call them, invite them to a meeting, etc.

The concept is cool, but the UI for navigating the canvas is pretty frustrating. I wish it used mouse actions like zooming with the scroll wheel and panning with dragged right click/middle click.

States already charge EV registration fees for lost gas tax revenue.

I used mine for 5 years as my personal laptop and it was fine, even for development work. I even ran docker on it. I'm sure it had to swap at times, but SSDs are so fast now that I didn't even notice. I don't get the hate o

Until your google account gets locked for some unknown reason and you there is 0 support and recourse. And now you can't even log into your own computer.

While I agree with many points - "I wrestled with package installation" / "nerfed my operating system" This is not struggle. It's toil.

You have a transaction row lock and you tell the subsequent requests to f off. I would go as far as returning a 429. Devs are too scared to be nice (ie not return errors) to clients when they misbehave.

10x the code? Easy solution. Throttle unpaid customers or put a quota. Either way, paid customers should not be affected.

FOMO. A new model comes out weekly and the HN crowd debates over the minutia of changes. Pockets are too deep, it will only change once everyone is out of money.

At least a human can get involved. Complex codebases written by humans can be understood. If the barrier is too high, code is refactored.

The scary part is that codebases are getting layers of AI complexity, that it's going to cost $$$ to have the latest model decipher and make changes as no human can understand the code anymore. Pretty soon there is no code reuse and we

Who cares? If you're getting laid off, the only thing that really matters is the severance package. Its all lip service - either AI generated or hand written.

Security isn't black and white. If i leave a post-it note of my logins on my monitor, that's definitely less safe than in a unlocked drawer, and so on.

#hugops is to your coworkers, not to the nameless big-corps who can't maintain a service for paying customers. You should be raising a shitstorm when things you pay for aren't reliable or unusable. Hot take, if it's traffic

IME, having the right cable is 100x more useful than having a fast one. That said, the only weirdness I've experienced is a device that came with a USB C to A cable that would not take power from a C to C

The problem is that running programs isn't always trivial. I have no interest in going back to the hell that is deploying a java app.

You're going to have to write some sort of config. It not being opinionated it a good thing. It lets you deploy just about anything under the sun.

AI is especially good at writing IaC. Most small projects I let it write a Dockerfile too.

Slightly off-topic, but Backblaze B2 has usage caps that actually work. I have $0 cap on API requests, and yesterday when litestream burned through the free tier (defaults to replicating every second), I got a notice and requests stopped w
