You can track the progress here: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/1825

There's still a ways to go but folks are actively contributing.

New comment by afturner in "Show HN: Obsidian Canvas – An infinite space for your ideas"

The local first approach is the primary reason I use Obsidian. I trust that I can _depend_ on Obsidian because of this.

On the other hand, this has also caused some headaches around using it on mobile.. but so far this has been a worthwhile tradeoff. Thanks for all the hard work!

Same! And that's why I'm now a DevOps engineer. In my role, DevOps primarily means automation and pipeline creation, working with teams to build and release their apps reliably and effectively. For me, it really scratches the itch of "setting things up".

The pretty release notes have been published [1]. Maybe it's worth updating the post link to point to it.

(ninja edit, the page is now listed on the releases page [2])

I am beyond astounded. I was able to run a Docker image, utilize the fs inside of the container, and exit the container. Docker system commands work as expected (`docker ps` shows no containers, `docker ps -a` shows the exited container)

A few little things are weird (I can exec into a stopped container for example) but I was able to start another container and persist files.

Wild. This is unbelievable. Can anyone please explain to me why this isn't as wildly groundbreaking as this seems?

Really?

> You already know the comments on this posts

Without looking at the comments, you will already know what they say.

> but that's for a reason, Tailscale is that good people won't shut up about it.

Because this person is suggesting that Tailscale is so good, people will rave about it whenever it's mentioned.

Pretty easy to understand.

PyPI identifies a package as critical and asks the maintainer to enable 2FA.. but allows them to simply delete the package to get around this requirement?

Are you suggesting that containerization is worthless?

I hid the font names until I reached the final two. Decided which I liked better and then disabled the toggle to see the names.

I've made an opinionated playlist for some friends that you may enjoy. It includes my favorites from the past few years, and has a semi-decent range of composers/time periods. I will keep adding to it.

Not sure of the best implementation, but couldn't it be behind a permissions dialog like the ones users have to accept for webcam access or notifications?

Last sentence before paywall reads: "Pham has notified managers who report to him of his plan to leave, which comes as the 3,800-person Uber engineering group could be slashed by nearly 800 people in the coming weeks under the proposed job cuts."

I'm glad to hear that. I didn't have the best flight and was really happy to be home.. so it definitely stuck with me when that happened. Also.. is it possible that mine was a different thing? The agent just held up a random webcam, it wasn't on a "legit" scanner.
