I want to try some open-source and/or local LLMs. Which models do you use and what are they best at? I've looked on GitHub for "awesome-lists" but nothing was really maintained. It would be useful if you included the…

I'm currently looking for jobs and slowly but surely starting to getting desperate. "Do freelancing", I've heard a few times. But it's not like I will get hired as soon as I "go freelance"... is it? I'm living in Europe…

Hello everyone, I'm hosting my own blog and starting to write. However, I don't feel confident publishing without having at least a few people's opinions. Considering many HN users are often reading blogs, articles or…

I'm interested but I wonder how easy to use they are. What are some benefits and downsides to using them? Please try to answer with your experience whether you used it on a server or PC. I'm interested in both.

Ever since I was a kid, I've always wondered what it took to host a World of Warcraft server with 1000 connected players. I want to host my personal website/blog pretty soon, so of course that should really need little…

In most of Europe, bicycles have to ride on the road next to several thousands kilograms killing machines as opposed to riding on the much more peaceful sidewalk. In some countries, like Japan, riding on the sidewalk is…

I have a lot of time to kill at work and I'm currently reading technical articles/blogs. I'm also reading a book about a specific language but I'm wondering if there's something you would recommend that I haven't…

I'm a mid-level software engineer, specialized in back-end programming. I'm getting my hands on Elixir currently, and I've read a few interesting blog posts (notably the one from Discord[1]) about its use case. I've…

I know the obvious shortcuts like Windows+[number] to open apps in the taskbar, CTRL+Arrows, SHIFT+Arrows. But I'd like to know how to become productive by using almost exclusively the keyboard. I'm talking about more…

I'm buying off a local site in my country but considering how small it is there's not that many offers. I'm wondering if there's such a website that ships internationally (I live in Europe).

Been a while since Mullvad removed port forwarding. I'm looking for a VPN that has that too, but also no-log policy and no email address storage.

Any tips welcome. I turned on the Function keys, and the "3-finger double-tap for zoom" setting. I'm really new and am eager to know how to make the most out of it. I'm still not used to the Ctrl, Option keys. And some…

I'm talking about listening to music, listening to a podcast, or hell even watching a series or livestream. I mostly listen to music and "watch" livestreams but the former is very repetitive. So I'm wondering about what…

I will not lie that I like Apple's hardware, but I'd rather be on Linux. Which laptop do you recommend and what do you like about it?

The only two possible filters on the list of videos of a channel now are most recent and most popular. I know it's a small thing but somehow this hits me really hard. Also, there's less videos on a single row now.…

I have 2.5 years of experience at well-known companies. I believe my CV is really going to put a high-value on me, but, truth is, I've never been good at technical interviews (normal interviews are the opposite). And…

I currently own and am using a Dell XPS daily. Every laptop I've owned has been an absolute noise factory. Hell, I'm not even launching Steam because the laptop gets too hot. Are there some laptops out there that are…

I'm looking for resources to learn them. Should I just go with the official documentation? I tend to prefer video format (mostly watching at higher speeds), but I was wondering if there was some resource regarded as…
