I think the boiling is closer to 18 hours. I do a pretty good one in about 5 in my instant pot, though.

Another big problem with getting a "ramen" in a random western restaurant is noodles. If they don't make them themselves, the dry shelf stable stuff is just not good (at least what I can find in my EU country). As I was slowly upping my ramen game at home, the single biggest difference in quality was when I started making my own noodles.

I suppose if a shop markets itself as a ramen shop, you have a chance of getting a decent bowl. Most of the "asian" or even "japanese" restaurants in my city are places where they add cream to tonkotsu to make it white...

I think just putting it on the companies is enough. If the fines are serious and can put your company out of business, and are enforced, then the companies themselves will probably work out processes for not doing stupid stuff. Whether that be creating some sort of certifications that would be prized by the companies, knowing to hire a specialized team for a security review, or anything else.

If everyone knows that messing up security gets you in real trouble and the company loses real money, and it happens all the time, and it's not just "Facebook fined $x million for doing shady stuff", then I think the industry will adapt.

Like when GDPR got released and no matter if I thought we are or are not handling PII, I had to read up and double-check my assumptions just because it was being talked about all over the place and it would be embarrassing to be caught with your pants down when you didn't actually intend to do a shady thing.

I'll just note that I'm using revolut and some of my virtual cards on there appear to randomly be created as Visa or Mastercard. Well, couldn't pay for Claude with my Visa (no matter if virtual or physical card), but found a comment on Reddit suggesting to use Mastercard, and that worked without a hitch.

So they certainly have a problem with their flow with Visa. I wonder if the payment flow was vibecoded from scratch, never experienced that with any other site.

Ah yes.

The shortcut I use the most in Jetbrains IDEs. Also the one I miss the most in VSCode (whatever is present there just doesn't seem to work right).

Also the shortcut that has caused me to close so many browser tabs inadvertently...

Since everything is essentially opening WebApps via QR codes on your WeChat/AliPay app, it's actually great for tourists. The apps have a built-in option to do machine translation of the screen to English, which I used when I took a trip to China. In the case where it doesn't translate some part of the UI, I could still use screenshot translation on my phone, so overall it's very easy to get around speaking/reading zero Chinese.

Fair question. Conflicts happen, which I'm fine with.

Realistically speaking, most files I have in my cloud are read-only. The most common file that I read-write on multiple devices is my keepass file, which supports conflict resolution (by merging changes) in clients.

Also used to happen when I tried editing some markdown notes using obsidian on PC, and then using text editor (or maybe obsidian again?) on android, but I eventually sort of gave up on that use-case. Editing my notes from my phone is sort of inconvenient anyway, so I mostly just create new short notes that I can later edit into some larger note, but honestly can't remember the last time this happened.

But yes, if not careful, you could run into your laptop overwriting the file when it comes online. In my case, it doesn't really happen, and when it does, Nextcloud will have the "overwritten version" saved, so I can always check what was overwritten and manually merge the changes.

P.S. If anyone wants to set this up, here's my nixos config for the service, feel free to comment on it:

  # don't forget to run `rclone config` beforehand
  # to create the "nextcloud:" remote
  # some day I may do this declaratively, but not today
  systemd.services.rclone-nextcloud-mount = {
    # Ensure the service starts after the network is up
    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
    after = [ "network-online.target" ];
    requires = [ "network-online.target" ];

    # Service configuration
    serviceConfig = let
      ncDir = "/home/username/nextcloud";
      mountOptions = "--vfs-cache-mode full --dir-cache-time 1w --vfs-cache-max-age 1w";
    in {
      Type = "simple";
      ExecStartPre = "/run/current-system/sw/bin/mkdir -p ${ncDir}"; # Creates folder if didn't exist
      ExecStart = "${pkgs.rclone}/bin/rclone mount ${mountOptions} nextcloud: ${ncDir}"; # Mounts
      ExecStop = "/run/current-system/sw/bin/fusermount -u ${ncDir}"; # Dismounts
      Restart = "on-failure";
      RestartSec = "10s";
      User = "username";
      Group = "users";
      Environment = [ "PATH=/run/wrappers/bin/:$PATH" ];
    };
  };

I'm using the nextcloud app on my android, and for my Linux systems I mount WebDAV using rclone, with VFS cache mode set to FULL. This way I can: 1. Have the file structure etc synced to local without downloading the files 2. Have it fetch files automatically when I try to read them. Also supports range requests, so if I want to play a video, it sort of streams it, no need to wait for download. 3. If a file has been accessed locally, it's going to be cached for a while, so even if I'm offline, I can still access the cached version without having to verify that it's the latest. If I'm online, then it will verify if it's the latest version.

Overall, this has worked great for me, but it did take me a while before I set it up correctly. Now I have a cache of files I use, and the rest of the stuff that I just keep there for backup or hogging purposes doesn't take disk space and stays in the cloud until I sync it.

Right, but then you need to learn the right motions well, motions that will make sense at the final speed. I suppose it's one of those things that are made easier by having a teacher.

For me, searching for "whistle" on play store, I get the app as the third result (ignoring sponsored crap). Searching for "blazingbanana" gets me the app as the first result".

App info shows 218MB size, which I suppose is about what I'd expect for a model+app code :shrug:

This is actually the first plugin I install on every new installation of a Jetbrains IDE... Used to include it in my "mentoring about advantages of IDEs" rants, just before configuring debugger.

So after building my latest rig and crazily getting a lot of driver issues related to network I've finally ditched Windows for Linux. While trying to figure out how to keep track of all the system changes I make in case I change my distro and need to set up my system yet again, I came across Nixos, which has been working out pretty well for me.

The issue I'm currently battling with is how do I connect my cloud drive (self hosted nextcloud) to the system in a way that it worked on Windows, and so far no luck. Once I figure it out (if at all), it's going to be perfect.

Surprisingly, even gaming works just fine via steam. I've been able to play whatever I have in my library by "forcing compatibility tool" ( which is proton). Colour me impressed.

Now I just need to confirm that I can run my country's official program for tax-related stuff via wine and I'll have no regrets.

A bit funny, but I personally found "please learn to never..." to be MUCH more off-putting and patronizing than the "why not just...".

Maybe just something about the latter being interpreted as a question, and the former being interpreted as an order.

Just to clarify, I didn't think that Coolify is a competitor.

What I was getting at is that we now have a thread with 4 replies: (1) you pitch competing product (2) what product? (3) Coolify (4) it's not competitor because ...

I just wanted to point out that comment #2 only seems to prompt question #3, whereas the helpful reply #4 created by yourself obviates the need for #2 and #3.

The link to the "competitor" is front and center on the site, so I imagine what you're really trying to say is that this is NOT a competitor for the following reasons: <missing>.

Otherwise this seems like a bait question:)

The reason it won't really work for gamedev or complex software is that the risk of the business isn't really in the product-market fit, but rather in stellar execution.

If your business idea is dependent on being able to do a complicated thing, then a POC or a demo might make more sense for testing the waters and seeing if there's any technical impediment to the idea
