    The German "Chaos Computer Club" (hacker club) has a disclosure service. They approach the affected party as the club, hiding the persons identity. Not sure if they do it internati…

    Sorry, not my cup of tea. I think UI peaked with minimal/material/flat a few years ago, which also made me more calm. Besides that, I think readability could be an issue.

    Great news. My first thought was that I want to see how this looks. Unfortunately there is not a single screenshot in the announcement. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

    Heavily disagree (for serious low-code platforms). AI produces code that only AI maintains. That's a big burden. Low-code vendors ship code patterns that are easy to compose. They …

    Why does Cloudflare need a web framework? Most obvious would be they think they can make money from hosting astro sites (like Vercel and NextJS). I hope Cloudflare's impact on Astr…

    I think you are true to a point. But great movies get almost universal praise with scores of 9/10 on IMDb or near 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The same goes for food; there are things …

    It's about all the other projects that would have had great quality but did not secure funding because Netflix prefers to fund mass-produced mediocrity. In Germany we have a saying…

    I don't like this. Netflix rarely creates excellent content; instead, it frequently produces mediocre or worse content. Will the same happen for Warner? Are cinemas now second behi…

    My Hetzner servers have been running fine for years. Okay, there were times when I broke something, but at least I was able to fix it quickly and never felt dependent on others.

    We are also working on a database linter. Currently focusing on Oracle but we will support Postgres soon too. Rules can either run queries against the DB (e. g. foreign key without…

    That's probably their strategy of handling 402 Payment Required[1]. They want to become the platform over which auctions for AI crawlers buying rights to use content take place. Sc…

    It's weird that the just keep the version number. Why not release it as 2.6 or something else. Now it is confusing, do my existing workflows automatically use the updated version a…
