I've seen this sentiment often. For example, in a discussion about slow nvm load times: "Does adding 0.5s delay to opening your terminal really affect your productivity?"

I agree that these small things are not bottlenecks to my productivity. I can work just fine despite them. However there is some intangible effect they have on my mindset when I'm working. The more "snappy" my computer feels, the easier it is to enter a sort of flow state. Small bits of friction here and there add up.

Cool to see you here on HN! I just discovered the openpilot repository a few days ago and am having a great time digging through the codebase to learn how it all works. Msgq/cereal, Params, visionipc, the whole log message system in general. Some very interesting stuff in there.

Am I missing something here wrt Jellyfin clients?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I had many issues with playback on ATV using Swiftfin. Infuse works very well, so it is worth the ~$15 yearly to me. I am hopeful that Swiftfin will improve over time, they have a few dedicated developers working on it.

Which app are you using on your TV? I've had success direct-playing 4K content with the jellyfin Android TV app. On AppleTV, Infuse works well. Infuse isn't free, but it is worth the money to me.

"The Hunt for Red October" had an interesting way of handling this with the Russian speakers. The movie starts with them speaking Russian with English subtitles, does a slow zoom into the Russian-speaker's lips, and switches to English mid-sentence.

This update is great news. I was disappointed to see the issue that got raised last week, and I had started to consider looking for alternatives. I’m going to assume an honest mistake on their end and keep recommending their product. However, if they make a similar move again, I will assume the worst and move on.

What if running the linters was as easy as: $ docker compose exec web /scripts/run-linters

This seems to ignore the fact that I also run linters in my IDE to get immediate feedback as I’m writing code. As far as I know there’s no way to combine these two approaches. Currently I’m just careful to make sure my local ruff version matches the one used in CI.

It may be possible with VS Code dev containers, but last time I looked at those I was turned off by the complexity.

This looks like it could be a really great tool. I was excited to try it, but unfortunately the app is pretty unusable for me on Ubuntu. It has been frequently crashing with "an unhandled error has occured". When it's not crashing, it seems to be running at 5-10 FPS. It also seems to be hogging CPU, with some WebKit process running at 250+% CPU.

This is just a preview, so I'm hopeful the developers can work these issues out. Judging by their website, I could see this being a useful tool!

I recently discovered the home-assistant supervisor [1] repository. It's awesome to see such a well-designed, mature, and actively maintained open-source python application. I've found that there's no shortage of high quality python libraries and frameworks to learn from, but open-source applications aren't as common. I love coming across repos like this so I can study their design.

Can you describe more what you mean? Are you suggesting one could live by selling their home and purchasing a new one every 2 years, and doing something with credit secured by the home(s)? How does that relate to rest?

Linux on an M1 Mac 4 years ago

Does it really get the same great battery life of the M1 running MacOS? In the case of my dell XPS laptop, for example, it gets pretty good battery life if I use the windows 10 OS that it shipped with, but when I run Ubuntu, the battery life is horrible.
