Unfortunately for the foreseeable future you'd need a cheap Android or iOS device for those apps and whatever you want as daily driver. I don't think you NEED to open your online b…

Also should have been easy to design an OAuth like flow where the government that seems to care so damn much about age verification to attest someone's age in a privacy respecting …

Try writing your own code like it's 2025

Great explanation, very reasonable. Except that before they did and then they didn't without any proper notification (release notes don't count for significant changes like this). …

Works so great on new devices like smartphones. Except not. And so easy to set up on a home computer. Except it's not always on and doesn't come with backups. I'm not saying S3 is …

And most folks getting stuff done with Rails ain't be filling out surveys to boost their stack - or maybe that's just me. So everyone just stop worrying what everyone else thinks o…

I hope they'll execute this one well. Have been waiting for a wallet product from Stripe for a while, but maybe less juicy margins than on top of credit card fees?

And how great it will be to troubleshoot any issues because everyone is basically running a distinct piece of software

Gotta say this is pretty cool. Love some of the nostalgia on the homepage. Personally not a nextjs fan but finding a modern alternative to WP will pay off for many businesses

> Tell it what git commands to explicitly run and in what order Why don't run the commands yourself then?

This! Sure you might need a Google account for your android but you don't HAVE to use all their services. First just don't use Gmail, docs, search, chrome and co. But even better g…

E2EE is definitely nice, however if you communicate with many people using other email providers your emails still end up there unencrypted

It never really worked. Most businesses just paid for customers that were going to or already found them anyways. Not saying ads don't work at all, they definitely increase awarene…

I don't see why upgrading a motherboard to one with a newer generation CPU is not valuable. Or why going 16 to 32 GB RAM a few years after buying it first isn't. Yes full upgradabi…

Or more like "be careful with the power you give your LLMs"

> we had to spend time fixing the broken test even if the changes had nothing to do with the initial change. In response to this problem, it was decided to break out the code for e…

Right let's add more layers that always solves everything. No language or abstraction is perfect but if someone prefers pure functional coding, Rails and Django are just not it, do…

Oh that's one of the best news in the smartphone world in a long time. It's impossible to escape the Apple/Google duopoly but at least GrapheneOS makes the most out of Android rega…

CDN is not the same as DDoS protection. Cloudflare does both but some providers do one or the other. You can use any CDN no matter if you use Cloudflare or not (shout-out to Bunny …

This!! Everyone seems to "really need" that unlimited scalability of AWS & Co - but they'll happily scale your compute and the bill for you. Sure maybe you'll get lucky and they wa…

> [...] just want to get a “degree” /maximize scores to get a job, There is little interest to learn. Seems to be more and more common these days in general :-/

If the industry wouldn't have pushed React as the magic bullet that is always to be used it could have stayed an awesome interactive frontend library. In some cases it's just not w…

While Rails indeed tries to support old versions for a while I found that many devs are eager to stay on top of upgrades (which also has been less painful the last few years and de…

And to have buy in it needs to exist first :) Like websites nowadays being usually designed for mobile and desktop devices

Solar and battery for refrigeration seems a waste. If you own a house I'd look into very old school options like digging a deep hole to store your food in a dark&cool place - forgo…
