I use Sublime as a scratchpad and never save anything, so this is an important feature for me. It's worked flawlessly for years.

I've tried Zed several times like this and it continues to lose data.

This matches some previous comments around LLMs driving adoption of programming languages or frameworks. If you ask Claude to write a web app, why not have it use your own framework, that it was trained on, by default?

It's an opinionated vertical platform; if you run into an edge case, bug, or functionality you don't like, you are have to open a discussion Github and wait for a new release to fix or change things. The devs are very responsive, but the same as any open source tool, it's their project. It perhaps depends on how much customization you want to do - GPUs and drivers, custom CNI, very specific disk settings. I've had more trouble with bare metal systems with varied hardware vs their supported cloud platforms, which are approved and tested.

I'm pretty positive toward Talos but if you stray from the happy path, by choice or accident, it can become challenging technically. And then you have sunk costs around choosing this platform and how hard it would be to restart from scratch.

Yelp is hiring backend/fullstack engineers in Hamburg, Germany. https://www.yelp.com/careers/job-openings?location=Hamburg%2...

I moved here last year, as an internal transfer. It's been pretty good overall.

Looks promising! I was able to get it installed and delivering logs in 5 mins.

I really like the high volumes you offer; I really agree that volume should be cheaper. What Papertrail charges per GB seems really high IMO.

That said, I'm just a hobbyist doing under 1GB month of traffic. I will try to stick with the free plan for as long as possible. If you could offer some nice features for $5-10/month, I would upgrade for that.

Papertrail is pretty great. I've used them for years without a hiccup.

Thanks for restarting development and having good releases, with easy to read changelogs! Cmus has been very useful to me.

I went to the first Write the Docs conference in Portland and had a great time. It was a well organized conference with plenty of fun events and useful knowledge. Highly recommended! Thanks again.

I have the $60 one from Amazon, a step down from what Wirecutter recommends, but I think I will upgrade. I can generally do 4-5 hours standing with this: http://www.amazon.com/Imprint-Comfort-Nantucket-20-Inch-Cinn...

Love the simple site and focus. I've been working on a similar project focusing more on visual diffing, but haven't been able to launch yet. Still building the server infrastructure, product focus, and working out the billing.

Thanks for sharing!

Should I upgrade to VirtualBox 4.3 yet or stick with 4.2? I remember you cautioning about new things not being as stable in 4.3.

New comment by askedrelic in "1Password 4 for Mac is here"

askedrelic — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 16:37:03 +0000

I have been using the beta since they started. This is good upgrade that brings a much more polished UI from 1password 3.

The auto-fill functionality seems greatly improved: there are many JS based lightbox or hidden-until-you-click logins that 1pass3 couldnt autofill. 1pass4 just works.

I'm still waiting on my invite. I saw some ads on FB advertising it and decided to try, but have been waiting since. I hate the Post Office and would love to this us.

New comment by askedrelic in "Outbox – A beautiful inbox for postal mail"

askedrelic — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 22:24:43 +0000

I've been using it for several months in SF and it's pretty great. iPhone app and pretty website let me see my mail from anywhere. They pickup my mail Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Coolest thing to me being able to mark magazines or letters as spam and they will send unsubscribe messages for me.

Some flaws are how they handle anything more complex than just picking up mail addressed to you. Living in a rental apartment, I get plenty of previous residents that they ignore; I love would love to be able to get them to unsubscribe me from all mail that isn't addressed to me. But that gets more complex with my roommate, who doesn't use the service.

Otherwise, for $5/month, I like not having to check my mailbox and I haven't had any issues.
