I’m an Organic Maps user and from a cursory glance I can see no reason to use CoMaps instead, it looks like the same app and I’d wish they’d make an attempt to clearer differentiate themselves since this will be an obvious question.
This is just a variant of the argument ”people don’t know what’s good for them”. You’re very close to the actual answer, which is that the aforementioned ”manager class” is simply convinced that they understand reality better than those below them, which is quite frankly absurd considering the fact that managers very rarely do any of the ”real work” that these tools supposedly make redundant, and yet they still believe themselves to understand the potential better.
> It turns out that a _very_ long HDMI cable, a Steam Controller 2 and Bazzite on a second drive was all I needed to get a comfortable couch gaming experience.
Yes, it does turn out that if you already _have_ a capable gaming PC, you can use that instead of buying a Steam Machine. Who would have thunk it.
It feels like people don’t understand what the value prop of the Steam Machine is, maybe because they’re mixing it up with existing functionality and previous hardware attempts for ”streaming” games. That’s obviously not what this hardware is about.
The memory requirements, yes. The crashing, no. The OS should not crash because memory is running out, but the solution is far from obvious or standardized. My recommendation for RAM constrained systems would be to use zswap combined with a generous amount of swap space.
> It’s a small compensation for the immense damage you’ve all done to the industry and more importantly the economy
For all of those on HN that think venture capital is just numbers in a spreadsheet, consider that every dollar spent on AI is one that was not spent investing in the ”normal” economy. If this gamble does not play out, there will be bills to pay for all of society. As stated in Chernobyl: ”Every lie we tell incurs debt to the truth”, except in this case ”the truth” is the (un-)employment status of your friends, relatives and neighbors.
> I would expect openrsync to create a remote file /tmp/services, but instead it creates /tmp/services/services.
As someone who has also suffered uncountable years of abuse from rsync, I understand the impulse, but I think it makes a lot more sense (and is a safer default) to create a second ”services”.
If we have a chance to change rsync defaults to something less insane and save future generations from this mess I think we should.
I disagree, there is always a way to keep it free, if you care about keeping your promises. Especially in this case where the service is essentially locally encrypted json blob storage. There’s already plenty of premium functionality not included. If you have runaway costs due to abuse, just make up new limits to solve it.
Ironically, by stereotyping ”Rust hipsters” you are painting yourself out as a stereotype as well. Knee-jerk comments like yours add nothing to the discussion. Rust exists for a reason, it solves real problems, but it’s not suitable for everything. These are indisputable facts and by discarding every mention of Rust as coming from ”hipsters” with no understanding, you are doing the exact same thing that you would accuse them of. ”Use Rust for everything” and ”Rust is useless for everything” are equally vapid and meaningless statements designed for nothing but trolling and showing ignorance.
> That's like calling your programming language Latin?!
More accurately it would be like calling it Alphabet, since that takes its name from Alpha Beta (AB) just like the Futhark takes its name from the first letters in it.
Maybe if the ”Linux-curious” would stop using distros like Omarchy and other riced up Arch derivatives and instead try something like vanilla Debian or Fedora, they could spend more time using Linux and less time whining about how unstable ”Linux” is because you don’t understand what a rolling distro is.
