James Cameron understood OceanGate's critical flaw with this one weird trick


25TB would be ~$25/m with Glacier Deep Archive


Yes, but you incur traffic costs as well when you send to/from AWS right? I don't have that issue. Nor do I want it; I like AWS for what it does, but I want to be able to get away when I need to.


Software Design and Architecture Specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/software-design-arc...

I learned so much in these courses that cover OOD, design patterns, and architecture in a real world and practical way. I found it one of the best taught courses I've taken.


Is there a reason the course uses Java and not Kotlin for developing an app?


Same for me - this can be called the "Illusion of Competence" and is discussed by Barbara Oakley in her book "Learning How to Learn."


I'm also a big fan of Bitwarden. I use it on Linux, my wife uses it on macOS, and we both use it on iOS. It allows us to share passwords seamlessly across all platforms.

I also like the command-line app that I can integrate into dmenu and the fact that it allows self-hosting.


You get a certain number (10-20?) of free articles per month.

Personally, I wouldn't consider it Mozilla Corporation's moral obligation to resign over including an add-on by default, that can be disabled.


I agree that there isn't/wasn't a need for them to resign.

Just wanted to provide some historical context.


Yup, my 5th gen runs flawlessly with arch. Only thing that doesn't by default is the fingerprint reader.


Julia Evans' blog is one of my favorites: https://jvns.ca/


Seconded. Julia's blog looks nice, has great explanations, and did a LOT for me as a junior developer about feeling confident in all the things that I didn't know at the time but was excited to learn.


awesome to see she makes programming zines too


I'm glad most a lot of these comments are saying DDG works for them; I still have a lot of issues with the search quality and switched to Startpage a while ago which uses anonymized google results.


I'm with you. I switched to DDG, and within a day i started subconsciously adding `!g` to my query. And it's for simple things, not even complicated programming queries. For example, if i wanna see what the weather is, typing "Toronto weather" in google gives me the current weather right on the front page, whereas with DDG, i have to scan for weather network and click on it to actually get the information. Same goes for a TV show/movie/sports score. Google has Imdb rating/current live score right there on the home page.


"toronto weather" gives me the weather now and the 7 day forecast in a widget on the top of the search page. If I search "packers" it gives me the latest packers scores on the top (and if a game is ongoing an indicator of the time, who has the ball, and the score), if I search "patriots", there is an nfl tab on the top that I can click and it gives me the scores. I'm not saying you're wrong, but DDG has been working on some of those issues. You can always add !imdb or !rt in front of your shows/movies for rottentomatoes or imdb.


Hmm, you are right it shows correct weather now.

But here[0] are the examples of sport and movies/tv shows that i was talking about.

For anyone reading this, you don't have to use g!. If you use s!, it'll go through StartPage, giving roughly the same results without actually using Google.

Only recently learned this from another HN commenter around here.


try:

"weather: toronto" instead


in my experience you don't need the ":" weather cityname is usually enough


For me it works well about 90% of the time, when it doesn't I hop over to Google for those specific queries.
