It can, I'm using it to mount a Nextcloud webdav share on my more than 7 years old phone (Redmi Note 5 Pro, SDM636 SoC, 4 GB RAM, i.e. close to a potato by modern standards) without any problems.
Thanks for pointing this out. In the same vein there are so many posts about productivity systems where people put endless amount of time into crafting their gtd notebooks with tabs and lists, etc. All that time spent to be productive instead of actually being productive. Or people describing their ideal Obsidian work flows instead of actually noting anything useful down in it. People writing about how they built their own blogging engine because their particular way of blogging is so unique that they had to hand-roll something. All that time spent on building a blog rather than blogging. (I've been there too).
I love "This isn't craftsmanship cosplay, it's software engineering.". I will definitely steal this, let me put it in my notebook.
You see this everywhere. In sports its the people who spend most of their time worrying about their equipment instead of just playing the game. I was there with learning Chinese as well, spent way more time thinking about tools than actually learning the language.
I'd have to do brain surgery on it first, to disentangle all the moderation-only code from code that would be generally useful, but yes I'd love to do this someday. It makes reading HN (and posting) so much easier from a desktop browser (if you like keyboard shortcuts, that is).
We use LocationIQ and are very happy. We've negotiated a different rate limit.
The big difference between Google Maps is the quality of the results. Location IQ is basically hosted Nominatim. It is fine for many things, but at the street address level it starts breaking down.
Yes, I have to maybe add a small note that might not be clear. I need something I can include for people in my Rails template. If it's fully commercial, I cannot redistribute it and my customers would need a license.
Usually people get huffed up about stuff they care about. Caring doesn’t mean wanting it to be better, it could also mean get worked up about.
Surely a one-off comment about nobody using Ruby doesn’t mean you “care”, but if it is true that it is the same people who keep commenting, they obviously care.
Is it because they are jealous of the beauty of Ruby/Rails, as a Rubyist I’d think so, but who is to say really. Maybe they worked at a company where they replaced whatever their favourite stack is with Rails and they have hated Ruby ever since. It could be anything.
You wouldn’t keep responding to stuff you don’t care about at some level.
Equating caring and wanting it to be better was a mistake on my part. It made my comment not true, and it made you worked-up. Sorry for that.
All in all, I don't think that other forms of caring apply either. I think that parroting "Ruby is dead" doesn't mean that they care about Ruby, it's just a thing people like to parrot, without the meaning realizing in their heads. A form of bonding, a form of distraction, a form of opening to a social interaction, a form of self-reassurance etc. It is lot of things, and caring about Ruby at all is usually not among those (IMO).
I agree. Parroting some meme isn’t caring per se. But I was working under the assumption that the statement that it was the same names who keep doing it. If you say “Ruby is dead” 5 times a year it isn’t necessarily “caring” if it becomes 100 times a year there is something else at play.
You’d think that pushing all of the data into any ldap database, but especially some of the newer postgres based ones would give you all the performance you need at 10% of the costs? Let alone all the maintenance of the mind boggling architecture drawing.
Yes this has been my experience too. It isn’t just the costs and complexities involved in the moving of the data, but needing the expertise in your team to do so or at least investing the time of someone in your team to figure it out and maintain it. All the while they can’t do anything that is actually useful.
Design have two aspects, the doing (drawing, documenting, adjusting) and the thinking (what’s the actual problem and the concept to solve it, which will give me a frame of choices). There is a lot of content on solving the right problem - check the resources from IDEO, or for a broader view Don Norman for example https://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Revised-Expand...
Also don’t forget typography basics since most websites, apps and documents are mostly only text, there are lots of tutorials out there.
