ingvul commented on Ask HN: What on-call benefits do you get in your company?    · Posted by u/sdfgdfghj

In my company the greatest benefit is that: it is not mandatory. So I'm never on-call. My free time is too valuable for just a bit more of money.

I just bought a mbp M1. Would the M1 ultra be available on mbps in the (near) future?

Don't think it's plausible, otherwise it would already have happened. I mean, if country X really wants to pull that card they could have already done so without having to tell the entire world of their invasion intentions.

Why not fork docker-compose v1? It's Python! https://github.com/docker/compose/tree/1.29.2/compose

You could keep the YAML format and extend it, and still write compose files as pure Python.

It's easier (and usually more rewarding) to start something from scratch than to fork.

ingvul commented on Ask HN: Is Jekyll on GitHub a good solution for hosting a website?    · Posted by u/devShark
devShark · 4 years ago
Ok, thanks. And it should be very secure, even if I never update it, right? Github pages automatically updates gems for you?
ingvul · 4 years ago
You can as well build the site locally (e.g., on your computer) first and commit the .html files in your page repo. GitHub pages will then serve your .html files directly without having to build your site using Jekyll. This is what I used to do when hosting my site on github pages:

- locally install jekyll

- write my .md files

- run jekyll locally to see how my site looks like

- commit .md and .html files

- let github pages know what you are pushing the static files yourself

The smartphone killed this entire segment. No point having a standalone device when you can pair bluetooth headphones and have your phone just somewhere in the vicinity.

Doing sports and running with a 6 inch smartphone attached to your arm or in your pocket is just uncomfortable.

Yep. As mentioned, Apple Watch is the way to go if you're looking for a modern shuffle, and it does support offline Spotify these days.

The issues with using an older shuffle is that replacing the batteries on ANY of them is a massive chore, and none of them have bluetooth, which means you'd be back to dangling wires, which (imo) sucks when running. I believe the later generation nanos supported BT, though, so they might be a cheap candidate for a "music while running" solution.

Can you upload your own mp3s to the Apple Watch? Do I need special software for that?

I was thinking that I'd love essentially an iPod Shuffle but connected to my Spotify and with Bluetooth. Running with an iPhone is still pretty annoying. It'd be nice to have a light device that clips onto your clothes.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if Apple has ever explored turning the AirPods case into a mini iPod. I guess their iPod days are over but it'd be a really neat little device.

Edit: Apparently this exists! https://bemighty.com/products/mighty-vibe

It's a shame you cannot put your own mp3s on the Mighty Vibe.

Wouldn't a DevOps role have more context switching?
ingvul · 4 years ago
DevOps usually need to be on-call (paid) rotations. That sucks.
