The idea of Latex being used in business environments could be a meme

That's already happening in the UK too. Shortly after the Online Safety Act went into operation, there was politically charged/sensitive/opinionated content on X mysteriously disap…

Datasette pre-dates agentic AI

JWT inside of a cookie is fine. This gist is unnecessarily pedantic and seems oblivious to the fact that 99% of JWT impls are indeed just stuffing it inside a cookie. But yes, shor…

"I am a rockstar developer and this characterisation is unwarranted" -- thought bubble emoji

This will fail product-market fit instantly. Nobody is paying $49/mo for a tiny script they can vibe and run locally.

The most baffling thing here is that they allowed a very very simple JSON expression language to become a 500k/year cost burden on their business My god. But I am happy that they f…

Have a read about the "Tube Alloys" project, too. Precursor and seed for the Manhattan Project.

6k is pretty typical for any premium apartments in London. That's actually pretty cheap for that location.

I love the Java code sample: ``` // It works, but we have no idea how to send an HTTP request in java. // If you do, send us a nice example to support@errortexts.com. // You just n…

I've been visiting China every 1 to 3 years since 2014 and definitely in the last 4 years, on multiple visits, I've noticed that pollution is visibly lower. You can actually see th…

Yes it caches pages in memory. The cache size is configurable via a PRAGMA. Postgres / MSSQL / all RDBMS is slow because of network I/O.
