Two requests! 1. unique urls per channel so I can send it to a friend and say "check this out" 2. up + down keys for changing channels

The sensible route to this today is to use a query client, IMO: tanstack, rtk query, apollo, etc. It prevents the umpteenth reinvention of an incomplete fetch state machine, which …

The wording virtually guarantees that it’s changing to subscription. I give it a year and a half.

Guess I'm one of the annoying users who complained when armin's Lektor ( https://github.com/lektor/lektor ) started going dormant back when, but I loved it for a while. I'm on Astr…

The book that Dominik Tornow is writing “Thinking in Distributed Systems” has been an excellent next read after DDIA for me (it’s not yet finished I believe). Really shows the expe…

I don’t think this would help if your goal is not rapidly increase housing costs. If covid proved anything about the housing market, it’s that theres a housing shortage everywhere …

(Ex-)Convoy engineer here. No mystery as to why this happened, sudden tight market and low available capital demolished us. External reasons given in the article were the same we k…

This is what Svelte does, React has a runtime even when bundled

It’s good for reference but not for discovery. If I already know the general concept (let’s say Template Literal Types) I can get good info on it, but if I start with a question li…

I just am about halfway thru. Absolutely stands up, doesnt even feel dated almost 20 years after the revised edition.

On a similar note - If you’ve not seen it, the galata bridge in Istanbul has a boardwalk full of shops on its underside. Very cool.

Not sure if I agree with some of the specifics of this, but the overall sentiment is still valuable. There's a lot of work out there for non-youngsters looking to get into software…

Not a book, but the History of Science series from Crash Course on youtube is very entertaining.

H3 tags on this could really use a bump in size and contrast from the regular text.

Your last point on the correct code running, ugh. I haven't gotten better at it even thought I'm aware of it more now. Had an incredibly persistent linting config issue just last w…

WSL is not 'native' per se, but it's very well-integrated with Windows. I'd give it a look, even if it's just writing a script to run a build command in WSL from the same directory…

That's good to know at least; will give the go API a look. The latter option you're recommending is essentially what I went with (Node bin script that shells out to run cdktf comma…

The 'not using HCL' bit is really the only positive I've found so far because everything else has been more difficult than just using TF directly. I think my goals were slightly of…

There's TONS of use cases for Lambdas where the operational costs (both in terms of time/energy/expertise and to lesser extent monetary) of running something persistent are much hi…

In my experience, it's not the time required but that a lot of development teams don't have a sysadmin or ops skillset.

In the linked figure in the article, the SK tests have about 5x more per million people so their denominator is likely a better idea of the true number of cases.

Lots of reasons to love a visual debugger: - Easily set breakpoints and localize faults quickly. - Enter the debug shell and evaluate statements based on the current program contex…
