LAN


Seriously, this! OP has a LAN with a server(s) running local services. A home lab isn’t for them and that’s fine. They obviously recognize that others like to call their local setup a home lab. At an institution, it would be called a computer lab and has been since they’ve been around. Businesses have various names (closet, colo, noc, etc.) but they’re all servers and networking infrastructure. Maybe gear is the deciding factor. A home lab would more likely use professional gear where if you’re merely self-hosting with SOHO gear, it’s just a LAN. No lab needed.

"B-series", huh?

I'm guessing their marketing department isn't known as the "A-team".


I’m curious what causes your hesitation to install a Mac app if you run macOS? I’m not suggesting you’re wrong, just wanting to understand.


Not OP: but this is what computing is coming to.

Zero installs, all web apps, where users don't control their data. The average users computer ability has no doubt dropped over time as software is catering for the lowest common denominator.

As this catering becomes more popular, this is the expectation people have, only original hardware vendors will be installing native apps. Sucks, but its the graveyard that we've built.


This is not necessarily true. For instance someone coming from Linux might be uncomfortable installing non open source source from not trusted origin (I.e. not the distribution package manager).

Also, installing anything anywhere is potentially a huge security risk, so I see why people use browsers as convenient sandboxes for trying out software.


Yeah, maybe I should have said OS vendor.


Web app has usually the least friction, unless when it's not. For this particular app, it can be a very simple widget on the website homepage even. Shouldn't require any js framework etc and all data will be local in your browser. As a demo widget or full blown html/JS app, both can work.


Installing any adobe app, for example, takes control of your computer installing bloated software which remains in the background at all times.

Google does similar things. Why do some apps install bloat in ~ or ~/Documents without letting me chose where ?

If you want to sand box applications you need to use VM. Because some crap permeates the whole system.

I’d like the OS to run a separare environment for each user or application with little to no access to my main installation.


I built an app using Cappuccino and Objective-J back around 2010.

We even built an EOF/CoreData clone on top of it. Good times.

It was incredible to work with, but ultimately not very “webby”.

I’d rather have WebObjects back. It should have never died.


Looking back it's amazing how much effort the authors made to make it objective-C like and not at all like any other Web technology.

I guess that made it too niche for a broader audience.


I saw a few presentations from the 280 North guys. It was clearly impressive what these 3 guys built. Learning from Cocoa/Objective-C/Interface Builder well, they realized they needed to build 3 separate, but interconnected things, the framework (Cappuccino), the language (Objective-J), and the GUI builder (Atlas).

They sold to Motorola for $20 million in 2010, and that was the kind of the last I heard.

In 1994 i was on a flight from Edmonton to Vancouver, and in the absolute final seconds of approach during landing it took off again as straight up as I can imagine a passenger jet going.

After a while the pilot said they just missed a plane on the runway that shouldn’t have been there. He just had to take a while to gather himself after the ordeal before talking to us.

We circled for about 40 mins before landing again.


The pilot was busy executing the missed-approach procedure, running checklists with the rest of the flight crew, and coordinating the hold with ATC before talking to the passengers. "He just had to take a while to gather himself after the ordeal" seems hyperbolic.


It is if you're using Safari. I have two M1 Max MBPs. My personal machine runs Chrome, and my work machine runs Safari. I can run my work machine for well over a day doing iOS development in Xcode with an external monitor attached and not run out of battery. The personal machine will last almost all day (without a monitor attached) but not quite. I'm sure if I used Safari it would last much longer.


I've tried both. Safari does some neat tricks to reduce usage when pages are not active. But if you have a heavy webapp - you have a heavy webapp, and power will be used.


Is there some special kind of user on HN that has downvote buttons, or am I the special kind of user on HN that only has upvote buttons?


Every HN user starts without the downvote button. It's only after your own comments get upvoted enough times that the downvote button appears for you (and then you start having to be really careful when aiming for the upvote button, and checking every time that, after clicking the arrow, the link next to the timestamp reads "unvote" and not "undown").


You will be able to downvote after your karma goes above 500.


Wahey! Only 10 to go!


14 more, nice.


You get down vote permission after some amount of points iirc


I'm seeing them right now. It seems to be rate limited based on your karma and how downvote-happy you are.


I thought they disappeared sometimes. I thought it was if you commented in a thread?


You can't downvote replies to your comments.


I feel like downvoting also goes away after a comment has reached an age threshold, although I don't know what that threshold is.


I just asked you.com that and it said:

"Boston is located in the state of Massachusetts, so it is about 0 miles (0 km) from itself [1]."


Same here. Looks like they fixed it. (Hi, you.com engineering!)


> What is the difference between blue and blue?

> The difference between blue and blue is that they are two distinct colors. Blue is a primary color that is made up of a combination of red and green light, while blue is a secondary color that is made up of a combination of cyan and magenta light. Blue is usually considered to be a cooler, darker color while blue is usually considered to be a warmer, lighter color.

Meh.


ChatGPT does almost as good as one could imagine:

> If you are asking about the difference between two instances of the color blue, it is possible that you are looking at two shades of blue that are slightly different from each other. The color blue can come in a wide range of shades, from pale and subdued to deep and vibrant. Some shades of blue may appear more greenish or purplish, while others may appear more true blue. The specific shade of blue that you are looking at may depend on a variety of factors, including the lighting, the surface or material on which the color is applied, and the specific pigments or dyes used to create the color.


I mean sure it runs Windows binaries on Linux, but calling it fake is a bit harsh.


Glad to see I'm not the only one who first thought of WineHQ when they read the headline.


It’s one panel. I have this monitor.
