> I find that if you put a decent bit of engineering effort into that "disaster recovery" synchronisation, it can often act as the main or only synchronisation process for quite a …

A while ago, I noticed some very small oscillations in my Cloudflare R2 bill (1-2 cents / month) and decided to ask about it out of curiosity. Support was tepid - understandable fo…

Depending on the error, the grammar, and the parser, it may not be possible to close the function body. Most compilation units are file-based for this reason.

That leads to the cross-device usability issues from the original post. Even for an experienced engineer, it's a headache to manage multiple devices across multiple sites. With the…

> want without a PR process that requires hardware authentication or proof of presence Just curious, what do you use for this? I built OTP Guard [1] a few years ago for exactly thi…

I thought the same, too. Generally some small amount of inflation is preferable to encourage spending, rather than deflation which discourages it. If you know a $100 item will prob…

Which translations would you recommend for Crime and Punishment or Dostoyevsky in general? When I'm starting to read a non-English novel, the process of deciding which translation …

Agreed it's a bummer. There's a lot of low-density sprawl in San Diego county which makes effective transit difficult, and because you have to drive everywhere, sentiment trends an…

> I believe with x402 and USDC you can pay as low as $0.000001 per HTTP request with no fees. On-chain transactions are still not free. x402 isn't settled in batches or rolled up a…

The accepted norm is, increasingly, full disk access, regardless of how bad of an idea it is. At a minimum, agents typically will have a way of obtaining new access tokens. Refresh…

> OAuth with refresh tokens. Then the LLM slurps up your refresh token. What's next?

With SQLite, you're basically funneled towards a single-writer / single-process design anyway ... in which case why not use a more traditional condvar + mutex rather than polling?

This describes my team to a T ... are we working at the same place?!? We actually talk more now which helps, but it is still hard to keep up when everyone is barreling ahead doing …

This is where curation matters, eg in a newsroom or gallery. Provenance is their job, and if done well, can connect people in a way that an unfiltered social media firehose can't.

> That seems pretty hard to read at a glance, and easy to mistype as a definition. YMMV but let expressions are one of the nice things about OCaml - the syntax is very clean in a w…

The way I always think about it is in terms of scope. With: let x = v in expr `x` is now available for use in `expr` In essence, an OCaml program is a giant recursive expression, b…

Linear is actually so slow for me that I dread having to go into it and do stuff. I don’t care if the ticket takes 500ms to load, just give me the ticket and not a fake blinking cu…

The delta might not be that large these days, with the AI suggestions that Google is placing on search result pages.

Good writeup. > It’s worth noting that DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) traffic remained relatively stable as most DoH users use the domain cloudflare-dns.com, configured manually or through t…

Yes, this exactly - I wouldn't call it nitpicky, it is really buried in there. I understand Cloudflare has a ton of other products and features, but the discoverability for CF Tunn…

I can't say anything about the specifics of this treatment, but in terms of their ability to fully benefit from hearing, it would depend on when they became deaf, and the severity …

Manipulation of reported economic numbers has been an issue in the past, see LIBOR.

Uber is blatantly abusing push notifications for marketing, it is so bad ... for smaller apps this would be an App Store ToS violation and grounds for removal. The double standard …

> This is what I like to call a dialect of OCaml. We speak in sometimes and sometimes we gently say it’s zero alloc OCaml. And the most notable thing about it, it tries to avoid to…
