    Same for me. I had to quarantine my FireTV box with its own rules on my network to stop it from using all of my XFinity bandwidth for the month just doing nothing but maybe an hour…

    There's a whole video of the Apple team doing it. Absolutely bonkers. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-introduces-a-de...

    WeasyPrint works really well for me. It can support all of the languages and fonts I need. I run it on AWS Lambda and in Docker as a web service. I previously used WKHTMLTOPDF, but…

    What are MuskMap and TrumpMap (I'm kind of afraid to ask), and can you link to more info about how they used your database?

    Check out SurrealDB. It might be exactly what you're looking for. https://surrealdb.com/

    Do the terms of use on the websites you scraped allow scraping/copying their data?

    Hopefully a new company will form to pick up the open source pieces and go from there. I wonder if Fauna tried to find a buyer - it seems like they have some valuable software but …

    I understand the two tables in your chat example, I think. I'm wondering how you get the rest of the user profile data (name, for example). Is that table in a totally different SQL…

    In your chat channel example, you have a table for messages, and a table for participants. How do you join the participants in this chat channel database with whichever database th…

    We might need to know the FTE values to understand what this means. Are staff positions full-time FTE? Are faculty positions full-time, tenure positions? Have they added part-time …

    I'll look this up later tonight. Is Hotwire using the same approach as Capacitor / Ionic?

    Are vertical tabs now in the main release of Firefox? I've been on Nightly for the vertical tabs and I love it. Fully agree - container tabs are awesome too.

    Try Firefox Nightly for the native sidebar vertical tabs. That and native tab containers make Firefox work really well for me.

    Do you have an estimate of when you'll be out of private beta and available? Can you share any more about pricing or what you consider to be a "small-scale application". Thanks!

    Brave browser should probably not be trusted. They violated basic trust by redirecting URLs to their own affiliate links for those URLs. That is pretty bad. https://www.theverge.co…

    I don't know much about Arc. But Arc users could give Firefox "Nightly" a try to preview new features coming up. It has vertical tabs and you can "pin" a few tabs at the top. Night…

    Quickwit indicates it is for immutable data and not to be used for mutable data. Is that the case in your experience?

    Looks interesting. Does it support things like the device camera?

    Vivaldi has split view / tab tiling and I really like it too. Vivaldi is based on Chromium.

    Right. I created a Neo4j db once with millions of nodes and relationships. Individual queries were very performant for all of my access patterns. Where it failed was with queries/s…

    The button next to the refresh button is what makes the side bar show wider tabs (Icon, title, close button). It took me way too long to figure that out.

    I use Vivaldi and love it. I hope their built-in ad-blocking continues to work even if the uBlock Origin extension does not.

    Can you provide a link where I can learn more about "Buf Connect". A search gives me a lot of different results. Not sure what's official.
