To add a bit of non-Vlt (I work on the JS Platform Team at Netflix where I have driven many of our decisions in the package manager space the past 6 years) but highly involved and …

But if you use web scale tech you can scale to infinity on day one right? :eye-roll:

Oh no not wrongly at all. The project was on life support with only one maintainer who had stalled out all efforts to onboard new people. I burnt out hard in 2020 from trying and q…

You probably dont have enough context to have clarity here, but this release was to unblock performance and simplicity changes. We first needed to clean up 10 years of stagnant cod…

And now that we finally resurrected the project we can land the perf improvements which were unable to land with one maintainer and still supporting 10y old node versions. We likle…

In case you are not aware (maybe you are) node has experimental support for http imports. I personally think this feature is a disaster for many reasons, but if you want to use it …

Not my area of work, but pretty sure that is expected behavior to resolve an ever changing set of services being called out to. Better to do dns resolution than for a call to fail …

Point number three is critically important and no matter how many nerds complain it is not activity pub or some crypto thing, the company focus on delivering a product which is via…

yeah but this one is more official right. It is from one of their team members.

I full time'd for nearly a year with just three cell devices and the Open Signal app. The only time I had issues was when we watched some shows and used our bandwidth "cap" on our …

We full time'd for a while towing a 40ft trailer with a diesel f250. While it is obviously not "efficient" relative to smaller rigs, it is way more efficient than living in a house…

Of the past three years we have spent about half of it (full time for the first year and a min of 4 months each year since) traveling with our daughter in a 40ft fifth wheel. The s…

yeah I got confused seeing this on the top. in my head said "what is this, 2012?". Am I wrong this existed way before 2017? edit: I am correct, it is much more old. https://github.…

I dont think this should be considered controversial. This sounds like a well balanced opinion, and is for sure one I share. JavaScript has many missing features. This is not one o…

I hate people who do this, nd it is probably why my wife has such a reaction, it is more about me pestering her too much than her actually wanting to ride in the fast lane. Backsea…

This is largely a west coast problem. We are doing a trip to the west coast this summer (sitting in the shade of my RV in AZ right now on our way) and we had to book a lot more in …

Hey John!! Wes here, sitting in the shade of my RV right now. Funny to hear the last line, because mine says the same thing about when I am driving. And when she is driving she lit…

It depends. If it is a passing lane and the RV is not passing, shame on them. If it is a small pullout you often cannot slow down fast enough to catch it unless you are really payi…

It is my understanding that the at protocol has the building blocks for alot of these use cases as well. So while yes bluesky the app is just a micro blogging social media, the pro…

It is an invite only beta on a staging domain.

My wife is an etsy seller, so I asked her opinion on this. TLDR of her response: "it is the people who don't take it as a serious business who are having issues with the etsy cut i…

I hear Netflix has a good tech blog ;)

A few weeks ago I searched for "pandemic related to increased reports of mid-life crisis" but couldn't find anything. This data could back up my theory in that the increase in resi…
