Amazing to see it still getting sold now in 2023.

I own two of these and while they now sit in my garage I've probably used them for 15 years. I bought them exactly for the reason laid out in the article - this router has solid hardware and the fact you could out just openwrt/ddwrt on it was amazing.

Main thing was support for ligatures which Alacritty does not support: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/50

I obviously have nothing to back this up with, but my instinct is that it’s the over exploitation that makes it such a powerful economy. But just like Saudi Arabia’s oil it will eventually stop being a sustainable source for the economy. Alaskan fisheries collapsing, rivers that support water hungry crops in the desert running dry might be first indicators of many that things are collapsing.

There's also a lot of pressure to deliver weekly episodes if that was your goal. I think at some point you become unable to reflect that you're approaching burnout and should have taken a break twenty episodes ago.

The author stated that Wise wasn't giving them sandbox access before signing up for a business plan which ruled them out.

What frustrates me most is that every bank develops their own shitty-in-their-own-way app for this purpose. There really needs to be an industry standard and then apps like Google Authenticator to exist for this purpose.

I have multiple bank accounts with different banks and upgrading my phone is an absolute nightmare because of apps like this.

Funny. I just stumbled upon this yesterday. The only thing that I wish to see improved is having the backend serve the frontend from the same docker container. It's a bit of a hassle to use nginx as a proxy in the docker compose setup (or in fact set all of that up on my Synology NAS).

Not to sound snarky, but what’s the point of chatting if you could hang out face to face and have the same conversation in a ten minute timeframe while seeing their reactions?

Why not ask to meet some of them? You are interviewing them just as much as are interviewing you.

I'm pretty happy with Synology Photos on my NAS. It's got face detection, interprets the exif and gives you geo maps, has albums and sharing. Got it set up for my entire family.

I'm not sure I understand the concern. If they have shell access to your linode they already have access to everything - even if your db password were encrypted gitea can communicate with the db and so can any attacker coming from that system.

Never had an issue when using a single external monitor. That across Macbook Pros going back to 2013.

Dual external monitors are a different beast. Here I get random issues depending on the external monitors ranging from:

- random reorganisation of my apps

- different resolutions not working well

- one monitor constantly flickering (this may be due to the use of a docking station)

Waking up from sleep works 99% of the time with a single press on the keyboard.

A bigger issue for me is theac not actually going to sleep when I turn off the screen.

So, not sure about your specific problems. Macs can be fiddly, but they tend to work for my professional use case (programming).

That's a bold claim. Care to share how you aim to achieve that with similar data quality?

Having 5000 employees will do that quickly.

It's not a job though - you're not paid for it. Your employer can't prevent you from solving leetcode challenges either.

Honest question: What does that even mean?

Web3 feels like a hodge podge of random ideas with some crypto-blockchain sprinkled on top.

Public transport hasn't solved the problem of "the last mile". How do I get to/from the train station/bus stop? Frequently you still need a car to even get there and then you will need parking - which is often limited and costs a lot.

Then there's timeliness. Deutsche Bahn is known for frequently their trains are delayed. In summer, even on the Intercity connections (IC, ICE) trains will be filled to the brim and air conditioning unavailable.

I love trains. I want to use public transport. It's just so goddamn inefficient.

I live in a small town about 70km north of Frankfurt am Main. A lot of people will commute daily from here to Frankfurt. The drive is 45 minutes to 70 minutes depending on traffic. If I were to take a train I could: - Walk to the bus station (5 minutes) - Take a bus to the train station (25 minutes) - Take the train to Frankfurt (60 minutes) - Take the metro to the closest location for my office (10 minutes) - Walk into the office (5 minutes)

The time given is assuming no delays, and a schedule that matches up perfectly. Realistically you'll lose another 30 minutes just standing around on platforms.

Ultimately the whole trip, even with a daily ticket will already cost you double your fuel costs for the same ride while sacrificing air condition, quiet and comfort.

We need better solutions for a lot of things. I loved seeing how Oxford in the UK has massive parking lots outside the city center with free buses connecting you to the city. It means that people can take the highway to the city but not get stuck in city traffic.

There's companies that specialise in this sort of thing: https://www.letsdeel.com/

They are, but as a diver I will never touch them unless they look in proper shape and are the types wrapped in some other material. Some fishy dive centers will have the old style raw lead blocks..

As someone who had to travel to the bay area for years I'll add: Caltrain honking its way through all suburbs, even at night.
