I've used it as my primary package manager on macOS for six months, but ended up dropping it. My main reasons -

* Nix doesn't have support for GUI apps like homebrew cask does - which meant I couldn't drop homebrew anyway. * The nix ecosystem forums suggest using nix-shell for managing packages for other languages, eg. python, java - but it's been really difficult to convince team members to use nix instead of pyenv, conda, gradle etc


You can use: brew install smartmontools && smartctl --all /dev/disk0 to get this data


Hi, HN! When browsing Reddit, I usually like to save cool/interesting images, videos and GIFs from various subreddits and wanted a way to download them periodically to my machine. I developed this tool to download such content from the command line using the Reddit API.

It has some great features you might find useful:

  - Multiple media types supported: mp4, gif, gifv along with png/jpg images

  - Multiple hosting providers supported: reddit, imgur, giphy, gfycat, redgifs

  - Option to restrict downloads to specific subreddits

  - Allow automatic unsave of reddit post after downloading

  - A dry-run option to process and show the list of media that would be downloaded without actually downloading them
If you find it interesting, please check the out the GitHub page for more details and/or take a look at the demo. Also, this is my first Rust project, so any feedback is welcome!

I use "cuttle", but someone I know calls it kubec-tal (Q-beck-tal), which is the weirdest of all the variants.


https://threadreaderapp.com/ is a popular choice that allows you to combine a tweet thread into a single page.


The Database plugin from IntelliJ and Datagrip is essentially the same. My guess is people like to have separate tools based on their purpose and Datagrip serves that need.


I like Argo and have used both solutions, but I'm not yet convinced that YAML based workflows are superior to Airflow's Python Code as workflows.


Agree that YAML is not really ideal for this case.

For other readers Argo does support 'Scripts' which means you can implement complex logic similar to Airflow if required but can be a bit clumsy: https://argoproj.github.io/argo/examples/#scripts-results

Additionally, I think we may see other layers on top of Argo in future that may abstract from the YAML similar to how Kubeflow uses Argo for the Kubeflow Pipelines capability: https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/components/pipelines/pipelines...


Have you tried Flyte - flyte.org?


The cancellations of Santa Clarita Diet and One Day at a Time were completely unwarranted in my opinion.


I'm personally using restic[0] to create encrypted/de-duplicated backups. I use a local external drive and Backblaze B2 to push the snapshots to. There's no server to maintain.

The best thing about restic in my opinion is the ability to mount[1] the snapshots using FUSE to my machine without actually explicitly extracting the backup to a local directory.

edit: formatting


Restic has some failure cases where it claims that backup was successful, when in fact some of your data was not backed up. This is just about the most horrifying failure case imaginable.

For example, if you take a backup of a bunch of files which includes TrueCrypt containers, and then you modify the containers and take a new backup, it will not back up the new data. Instead, it will look at file metadata to erroneously conclude that the container has not changed.

Now, some people argue that this is not an issue, because you can use non default configuration of TrueCrypt and/or Restic to prevent this problem. But how would a Restic user know that they need to do this?

I don't want to become an expert in the internals of the backup software I'm using. I just want it to work -- or at least fail in predictable ways.


Jup, restic is like git for backups, really happy with it.
