At work I was initially using podman on an M1 MacBook, but switched to Rancher Desktop + dockerd a couple months ago after having too many issues with podman. Many in my org are also moving away from podman for similar reasons.

I could never get bind mounts working consistently, relying instead on volumes, which are more awkward/less explicit when persisting local DBs used when testing.

I've had zero problems with Rancher Desktop + dockerd - definitely recommend it for M1 users that are having issues with podman.


> I could never get bind mounts working consistently

What type of problems were you seeing? Was it with podman or through podman desktop, and possibly some issue with what it was attempting?

bind mounts are a pretty standard kernel feature, so I'm wondering how podman/podman desktop could have been screwing it up, unless it was some user level permissions thing.


I wish I remembered the exact error; it was just with podman though. Podman desktop being newer, I hadn't really tried it out much.

FWIW, it could simply be chalked up to M1 weirdness. We have an ongoing list of various workarounds for the M1, whereas those using Intel MacBooks seem to be mostly fine.


The beginnings of a western WeChat?


I hate how right you are. I do my best to stay out of the Facebook ecosystem (although I am sure they have an extensive profile of my web activities). I am surprised they have not tried to make their own non-crypto financial system. Could embed it into restaurant storefronts and the marketplace.


Meta does not have the support of legislators. The EU would regulate any service that would even aspire to become a Western WeChat way before they have any chance to succeed.


Doesnt EU already have somewhat of a WeChat, everybody uses whatsapp there. Definitely Meta already won that market.


The problem with wechat is not use, its how its embedded everywhere.

Being able to do payments without a bank through whatsapp is way beyond the risk appetitte of european regulators for example.

Plus forcing whatsapp to add e2e encryption already fixes most of the issues in terms of risk to privacy regardless of how big the userbase it.


WeChat is so much more than just a messaging app. This is a common misconception when comparing WeChat and Whatsapp. The functionality of those two is not even remotely comparable.


>> everybody uses whatsapp there

That claim does not ring true to me. Maybe a few years ago, but now? I don't use whatsapp and I don't know anyone who uses it, except for a group of expats from South America who probably use it because it's still widespread in South America and their friends use it, maybe?


Ironic because apparently that is the long-time strategy of Elon with Twitter (X app). Off course these plans seem pretty delusional now...


Ouch... yeah that sounds about right.


Didn't ever really realize this until you said it...

WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, messenger, and Facebook all in one app. Horrifying.


Such a fantastic film


Such a realistic film (2026)


Do you see any irony in the fact that you're voicing your disagreement... in writing?


Yeah, comments like what you describe should simply be removed on sight. I think they are most useful in describing domain-specific context around some logic, that may not be obvious by reading the code alone.


On a smaller time scale, is rate of growth that meaningful?

I guess I'm just thinking, until we see the how this all pans out over the next decade, we don't really know if the current rate of growth will hold, or if it'll plateau/slow down.


Yes, it’s meaningful. If Google doesn’t fix search in the next decade then Bing (or some other winner) will be the service earning Google’s ARR in 11 hours.


> On a smaller time scale, is rate of growth that meaningful?

revenue in initial stage of extreme growth is much less meaningful.


Are the logs actually written as HTML, or are you logging objects (like structured logs) that are transformed into HTML when displayed?

If the former, I would imagine that'd make searchability harder for larger volumes of logs.


The logs are written as raw HTML. They can be searched by including HTML id's, tags, etc. They are plain text so they are searchable.

The color option really makes things stand out. The formatting possibilities has made debugging so much easier.


I guess what I was getting at, when you are logging lots of data in something like Azure app insights, Splunk, etc., you don't have the luxury of being able to just scan your logs with your eyeballs, because there's simply too much information. Instead you log objects, and are querying logs almost like you would SQL.


This is exactly what my experience has been. I've also seen way too many people downplay the hallucinations or anthropomorphize the technology.


Tailwind? I must've missed that; I thought HN liked Tailwind for the most part.


Speaking as someone who despises Tailwind, my impression is certainly that HN generally likes it. It is amusing that somebody else gets quite a different impression. Shows how biased human memory can be.


On sites like Stack Overflow, incorrect and subtley wrong answers are often peppered with follow-up answers. But in a ChatGPT session, I alone have to critique its output, without contextual info regarding the data's source and without a community to help me critique it.

I find that a bit exhausting; beyond simple use-cases, I've found it easier to just do it myself.
