@sqfmi is there any chance that we might/could get a blackberry client for beeper? it would give all those old blackberrys sitting in drawers a new life and might actually help with growth of beeper as well.
Do these limitations also apply to the newer Thunderbolt based usb c ports? If you can’t tell I really miss target display mode and wish a wired cross platform ideally open source solution existed to use any computer as a second monitor.
Anyone know of a scrcpy for windows/mac/Linux? If not, why has there not been a “wired” screen mirroring tool for desktop os? Is it just more difficult than doing it for android?
I’m not entirely sure I wanted to see what HN thought. I was thinking if one’s already using rails+aws are there workloads that are not core app functionality, not frequent, but that when they run need to serve a large number of requests that Jets might be the right tool for the job?
Yes, and I see this phenomenon everywhere now. They completely ignore the explicit instructions we are giving and prioritize their “suggestions” instead. Facebook, Twitter with their default timeline views. On Twitch’s TV app it used to be one click from the main page to continue watching a video now it’s 5 clicks because they replace with suggested channels, recommended blah blah.
One can go blue in the face “quoting” terms on Amazon search but they’ll just show whatever they want anyways completely ignoring the exact terms entered. I’d prefer them to say “we couldn’t find any results for you” than to give me pages of useless results instead.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Wanted to use my 2012 imac as a second monitor for my MacBook and in the absence of target display mode decided to use NoMachine but couldn’t get resolution + separate display without a physical dummy hdmi plug. Thank you
I believe the technology behind Mighty is amazing, the people involved are amazing, the experience for it's users will be amazing.
I believe the underlying reason for HN's reaction to Mighty has almost nothing to do with any of the above. To the contrary, most of us probably feel that Mighty will be a raging success. But we don't actually like that at all. When I reflect on my own thoughts, the reasons my initial reaction is pessimistic are:
1. If Mighty makes badly designed/architected apps "fast", nobody will fix the underlying issues.
2. The internet will be amazing for the folks that can afford to pay $30-$50/month and all others will have to live with a sub-par experience because of #1
3. Some other company will come along and try to subsidize Mighty for all those that couldn't afford it but they'll monetize by advertising and further personal data collection.
4. Further lack of control over core software on our personal computers.
I fear that one day I'll visit a website with a message saying "This website runs best using Mighty".
There were similar sentiments when RSS blogs started moving to medium. Medium is amazing! but at some point medium needed to introduce a 3 item limit.
More and more of the internet which a lot of us remember as this open thing that no one owns is being siloed into privately owned.
i am curious, you are commenting on a post about secure postgres but after signing up for your service i see that the database i created is publicly available, on the standard port 5432, with the default postgres username. the only thing stopping me is a password, no certificate required. i am not a postgres expert but how is this not extremely insecure?
