As one of the watch enthusiasts with a collection of several dozen straps, it's refreshing to see the watches including quick-release straps right out of the box. That makes quick-swapping to our NATO straps easy peasy!
There's something genuinely heartwarming about seeing Eric Migicovsky remain true to his vision, finally delivering the product I dreamed of but couldn't afford a decade ago, after all.
That's a good point. I've been surprised and frustrated by the S3 issues we've encountered since the hundreds of servers we are hosting on Hetzner Cloud have rarely had any issues. Only now i realize that this is the first service they are offering apart from networking that includes LB.
By this logic, should companies never donate to open source because any contribution could be labeled as marketing? The $750K will have real, tangible benefits for open source projects regardless of Sentry's motivations. It's a net positive. And we all know how many profitable companies built on open source give nothing back at all.
The point about "open source in name only" due to hosting complexity overlooks that this is a natural consequence of the product's evolution, not malicious intent. Enterprise-grade scaling of such monitoring requires sophisticated infrastructure. Suggesting they should artificially keep it simple for self-hosters would hold back product development.
It's only natural evolution in an environment in which there is no price for self-hosters giving up, which brings us back to the point I made originally :-)
I agree about the real, tangible benefits for open source. But wouldn't you agree there's at least _some_ point on the scale of evil where donor motivations can be questioned?
Here in my city in Germany called Friedrichshafen there is the "Zeppelin Museum", as it's is the birthplace of the Zeppelins, and there is a walkable Partial reconstruction of the LZ 129 Hindenburg interior.
You can have a walk around that from home, on Google Arts & Culture:
It might be a controversial topic, but this post had some oddly rapid upvotes for HN.
I'm trying to understand what the target of this hacky iMessage spin-off of Beeper is. The whole idea of subscription-based monetization. Rather no way of Apple not patching quickly, dealing with this as soon as it raises attention.
But maybe that was the intent of a hack they found? A clever marketing strategy, to gain some rapid traction with the controversy, highlighting their project?
Bingo. I was excluded from a group chat of ~15 people because I was the only one without iMessage.
Eventually they included me. I showed one of them the chat in Google Messages and he was amazed at how nice it looked, since Android supports Apple reactions. They're also jealous of all the emojis I can react with (and I admit I do it just to rub it in their face).
Hah, you just made me realise how many years I've been using it and recommending it as a life changing thing to everyone, every time i see a cool screen in the evening.
