On: Ask HN: Do you backup your Emails?

[jbub]

I can recommend https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup for backing up gmail.

[smitelli → jbub]

I've been using imap-backup for years on both my personal and work machines. IIRC I had to set up a Gmail app password to get it to work, but that landscape may have changed since then.

31 GB written and still going strong.

However, this does not function when a security key is activated.

On: How not to change PostgreSQL column type

[jbub]

"Ensure the column is NULLable and does not have a default value to avoid forcing a full table rewrite."

That one should be fixed since Postgres 11 https://brandur.org/postgres-default

Thank you for correction! Indeed - it's one of those things i've read but practically avoided it for historic reasons and therefore forgot about it.

The standard way to check for these was https://github.com/mdempsky/maligned.

It is now deprecated in favour of https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/fie....

You can now check for these using go vet:

    go install golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/fieldalignment/cmd/fieldalignment@latest

I can recommend https://github.com/cortesi/modd, it seems like its not developed anymore though

On: OpenSearch: AWS fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana

[jbub]

so what will happen to opendistro now ?

On: Compare AWS and Azure Services to Google Cloud

[jbub]

What would be the motivation to publish such a page on the Google side ?

[killingtime74 → jbub]

They are encouraging switching?

[jbub → killingtime74]

But they still advertise aws and azure a bit right. Isnt there a risk of driving google customers to aws or azure ?

[sumedh → jbub]

Google's challenge right now is to get customers from AWS and Azure. People who will see that page are probably comfortable with AWS or Azure and so Google wants to tell those people that we have most of the features which our competitors have.

[jbub → sumedh]

Makes sense thanks.

[jbub]

I think this was clearly stated, nothing shocking about that right ?

[izacus → jbub]

While its stated in the tech specs, it might still be surprising for current MacBook users. The M1 was loudly marketed as strictly superior to previous CPU/GPUs so regression in I/O and screen support might be easily missed.

[gbil → jbub]

right, I think the title should change to indicate that the link is dated from November, just after the M1 Macs announcement and nothing new

[ogre_codes → jbub]

The MacBook Air, the Mac mini, and the baby Pro are the M1 options right now, so people are trying to bodge them into being something they aren't.

I've heard a lot of stories of people who bought them not expecting to replace a 15" MBP or even iMac with a MacBook Air. Then once the bits hit their shiny new CPU they went whole hog.
