> My only complaint is that Opus 5's prose is annoying as hell. I wrote a custom skill for it for concise debriefs and it has been working pretty well for me. I’m doing the same ri…

I did something similar for German, but in my case I used Claude to generate a full dialog, plus the English translation. I was much more lazy, though, and set this up on Zapier.

Live chat widgets are a great tool at the beginning, as they help get in touch with more people looking at your website. That said, especially in Saas, I think it hardly makes sens…

I'm also an Italian living in Germany and I know what you mean. But I wasn't referring to the myth of Germany productivity, which is debatable. The argument is not anecdotal, rathe…

Well, that feels like a gross oversimplification. Other countries have tax brackets not too different from Italy's (eg. Germany), and Italy is not too high in the charts of cost of…

Linode's great support is what is preventing us to migrate to AWS or GCP. Funny story: 2 months ago GCP blacklisted a few of Linode's IP subnets and we were cut out from using Goog…

Sure, you can even say that both France and Germany just have larger populations than Italy. But still I would argue that being open to the international tech scene is pretty impor…

France 28 vs Germany 68 vs Italy 11 I guess that says a lot about the tech scene in Italy

Bonus points if you wrap the script in an Automator task in macOS so you can you run it in literally 2 clicks from Finder: https://bradt.ca/blog/how-to-make-a-pdf-look-scanned-imag…

That is impressive. How much time do you think you spent on non-coding activities? I imagine that running a torrent tracker probably took a good chunk of your time.

I too prefer Apple Maps, but just for driving. Google Maps has way better coverage of public transportation in cities. For instance Apple Maps doesn't have U-Bahn support in Munich…

Thank you! As a non-native English speaker this is actually pretty useful. Of course I don't think this should be used as a copy/paste solution but more for finding inspiration on …

Appreciate the explanation. We actually noticed a huge improvement since last summer with charges made with Stripe. Still, we lost a few thousands €€ in these years because of cust…

Nice project! I keep onboarding screenshots for most Sass/web apps I use to get inspiration later for my own projects so I definitely find this very useful (bookmarked!). How do yo…

Large SUVs used to be an upper-middle class distinction factor in Europe, but now everyone of every age seems to want SUVs (which eventually became cheaper). It's not a class thing…

I will probably open source it, but first I need to clean up the code a little bit

Haha! Actually I made this because I wanted to browser other "porn" subreddits while furnishing/decorating my apartment (/r/AmateurRoomPorn and /r/RoomPorn mostly)

Thanks! For now I think I will keep it clean, but maybe in the future.. we'll see how it will evolve ;)

Oh they have a few ways actually. - "Clickstream" data from Chrome. Sorry I don't have the source in hand, but I remember that Rand Fishkin was talking about it some time ago. - St…

What do you mean with "public displays"? I researched a little bit before buying my TV and couldn't find decent options in terms of cost, size and quality of the panel.

I believe 5K iMacs also have 220 PPI https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays/

The thing is, you should pick a monitor also by its PPI (Pixel-per-Inch). In order to work with HIDPI on macOS, you should stay around 220 PPI: https://bjango.com/articles/macexter…

Google doesn't seem to be serious with their managed DBMS solutions. The PostgreSQL version is still 9.6 even though 11 has been released, whereas AWS already has pg 11 available.

This. Too bad many APIs around are designed without keeping in mind that timeouts and double submissions can occur. A few years ago I had to integrate with another software vendor …
