Start? They have a large military sector already with IAI, Elbit etc.

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't using the most popular open source framework + most popular open source database be a much better fit as there's much more training data and you don't lock yourself into yet another framework?

I'd just go with Rails + Postgres and have all the documentation and options open to me.

Also great from the same developer BetterSnapTool. This is always the first software that I install on my Mac as it allows me to move windows around with keyboard shortcuts. There's many others doing that but I have a license already and only use these 5 key mappings.

I've set it up the following way: https://img.notmyhostna.me/8tck91QCL7DB9N8l3d3q

Transponders are a voluntary system, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_fleet

Transponders get turned off all the time, especially if you don't want to be targeted.

A real hacker would obviously never use a Microsoft product, or worse, post on a VC funded web forum!

Sport streaming is the one where I don't feel bad about using unofficial services, they are reasonably priced, I can watch the broadcast of the country that I prefer (Sky UK over the German coverage for example) and I can use an app like https://www.uhfapp.com which is more polished and works better than all the official streaming apps combined.

It's a cool hack...but also a bit unethical as the reason they are free is that there's ads. I almost feel it's more ethical to sign up for a paid pirated IPTV service and then use that, with the benefit of that being more stable and probably with higher quality.

You research it once, use it and then remember that it has "ancestor" in the command somewhere and then use ctrl + R to dig up something from your shell history.

I've just tried this, and the most touched files are also the most irrelevant or boring files (auto generated, entry-point of the service etc.) in my tests.

That's a very typical HN/developer response that often underestimates the effort and the interest people have into a self-rolled solution outside of tech / self-hosting circles. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47674176)

I'm using iOS and macOS. On macOS I have the folder that syncs experience (I'm using Synology Drive, but Dropbox works the same way), on iOS I have the "browse remote files" experience but I can pin files I always want to keep available which is what I want.

Sadly it doesn't have a great official solution for mobile devices.

The selling point of Dropbox/Google Drive isn't the storage itself, but that there's app for mobile and desktop operating systems which deeply integrates it in the OS so it's just like a local folder that's magically synced.

So it's a cool project, but not really what I'd say is a Dropbox replacement.

I’ve gotten used to it and with LLM it’s easier to set up the config without learning all the obscure syntax but on macOS it’s still a very un-native feeling compared to home brew. Having to sudo all the time feels weird for just updating user space apps and configs.

There's this one which got some publicity, doesn't seem to be updated any more but it worked for all these retailers listed and is open source: https://github.com/badlogic/heissepreise

There's a few projects doing that for DE / AT at least.

Ideally it should also look up if they are currently in season in your location, so many possibilities!
