   What Colleen has built is indeed quite simple to use. You just add the JS snippet, SFU handles all the storage and just returns a URL. And bonus points, it's directly uploaded to S3. From the documentation: "Simple File Upload use

   Yup for sure, that's what they were saying. It makes sense, but I was still surprised by it. I've never had to manage something at this scale before, so it was news to me. For reference, we're at about 250 million rows, so no

   This looks very cool. Looking forward to giving it a go! One request right away: can you add a setting to add phantom space at the bottom of the page? I don't know if it has a proper name, but editors sometimes have a "virtual spa

   I also ran into this recently when looking at SingleStore! I was surprised when they told me I couldn't use foreign keys, and was even more surprised that they were surprised that I do use foreign keys. They acted like I was the only

    Hey funny seeing you here! Twoslash is incredible, I'm jealous of some of the stuff you can pull off since you're TS/JS only. You've done an amazing job with it, I've always enjoyed looking through your docs.

    I'd be curious your take on https://torchlight.dev . I went more long form.

    I created a syntax highlighting API earlier this year with some of the same features: https://torchlight.dev . I've got a handful of paying users and a few hundred free. I'm happy to see syntax highlighting being pushed

    I think I've given the concept of DAOs a good faith effort, but I cannot understand how anyone thinks they are going to work for anything substantial. Even if "governance" is "decentralized," there are still going t

    Hey y'all, creator of Torchlight here! I wrote Torchlight because I was super frustrated using the other two syntax highlighters, because it seemed like each one failed in novel and unique ways. I just wanted a syntax highlighter that

    In all my research I never came across (or didn't understand) Bernoulli cups. This looks like it might have solved our original problem with suction cups: they would pick up huge amounts of paper. We're talking like 5-15 sheets. W

    No it didn't really show here except for Snowpocalypse. And no, no extra consideration really. My neighbor is a proper carpenter and he said I'd be fine so I went with it.

    I would 100% use drywall next time. I would hire someone to do it and they'd be done in like 3 hours. OSB was definitely a mistake. It looks cool IMO, but was NOT worth it.

    I looked you up. If the word "Graveline" means anything to you, then I found the right guy! It's possible that you got one of our handwritten letters, given the properties that you own. I think it's unlikely given the va
