I agree. Steam's prices on sales are still mostly unmatched by consoles. Even if it is a "pricier" PS5-like machine, I'd still buy it and I bet I'd make up the difference in less t…

So disappointed. I had such high hopes when Mozilla acquired them, specifically for the integration with Firefox. However, for years the design has been going the completely opposi…

I went from Law to Software Development after 30. I was a lawyer for roughly 10 years before the change and even was a partner in a small law firm. For me the key was just to see t…

Just followed the instructions on that post to install the extension that spoofs the user-agent and, believe or not, all the issues are gone... YouTube works completely fine now on…

Not really saying it is intentional by Google, but I'm a Firefox user and noticed this started happening again recently. YouTube for me is super slow, buggy, not registering clicks…

Exactly. The part where I used Excel was because Word didn't really scale for more than 2-3 sets of changes like that. So my "copying current version changes" to Excel was kind of …

As an ex-lawyer for over 10 years, this was a huge issue for me, specially when the other party is adversarial (e.g. another lawyer for the other part that is not exactly forthcomi…

Usually I create a Project in the UI, upload some files I think might be relevant, and just start asking things like refactoring, how can it improve the code, how to test (or which…

Great work by Anthropic! After paying for ChatGPT and OpenAI API credits for a year, I switched to Claude when they launched Artifacts and never looked back. Claude Sonnet 3.5 is a…

I test a lot of them, online and with Ollama, and Sonnet 3.5 is in a league of its own for practical coding purposes. Still makes a lot of mistakes, but it gets things "more right"…

I created a personalized finance app based on a Google Sheet that I used to track my registered account contributions and performance. Basically I enter the transactions and it sho…

It's on my list to try. Haven't sat down to actually try using Tailscale with servers yet but seems like a good option. Thanks!

Thanks! That is usually what I already do. Good to know I'm on the right path. When possible I disable root login as well (though Coolify seems to need it on, even if without passw…

Amazing article! It is actually amazing how fast and thorough the connection attempts happen as soon as you put anything online. I've been playing around Hetzner and Coolify recent…

This looks like more of an "ad" (or a very directed study by a competing methodology), but excess pragmatism can ruin even the most sensible ideas. Agile, testing, design patterns,…

For me, a very simple "breakdown tasks into a queue and store in a DB" solution has help tremendously with most requests. Instead of trying to do everything into a single chat or c…

Sad to see. When I started my journey into programming, PluralSight was one of the main resources I used, together with Lynda.com and Team Treehouse. All 3, sadly, have seen the qu…

Amazing! I don't trust Google with barely anything these days anymore (except Gmail just because it has been so long, and Maps), but Google Meet is the one thing that I prefer Goog…

As others have said, I find it very useful for smaller and simpler cases. Focused, small functions. A lot of times both Copilot and ChatGPT (and also Llama 3 via Ollama) are great …

In Brazil this is likely the most common scam nowadays. Almost every month one of the 4 members of my family gets a message in WhatsApp, usually from a cloned profiled, with the sa…

Just go to English Bay on a sunny day and open a beer in the sand and see. Alcohol is prohibited there again since several months ago and being actively enforced. Or check this htt…

And yet, my level of danger to society is also close to zero. This happened with me right after they reverted the pandemic decision to allow alcohol there and I didn't know. I was …

I honestly never understood why, if I opened a beer in English Bay in Vancouver, I'd get approached in a matter of minutes to stop/throw away the beer and yet, sometimes a few mete…

I'm probably in the minority here, but personally I'd much rather review a 300 line PR instead of 6 50-line ones if the change is a single context. I briefly worked with a hard lin…

Same. I personally end up enjoying those user-hostile changes when they happen because they almost always result in my own time spent on those platforms decreasing. I've basically …
