I think the moral of the story is: don't rely on PPAs for long term projects - there is a trend to create packages to break them once people integrated them in their scripts/code/infrastructure. Instead, install packages from

It depends. Usually I would only work weekdays during the day, except if there is a fire to extinguish. Currently, I work on some exploration ticket that keeps me too curious to just stop during weekends/at night, so I do spend extra t

I also successfully used it to raise my monitors by a few inches for comfort. Sometimes I did try to read a few pages but I was mostly admiring the typography.

I would like if the industry had less React domination. React is a bit like the IE8 of frameworks. It might not be the best choice for individual cases, but you have to learn its quirks as a developper since all the industry uses it. But if

I kind of want to amend that! I discovered today that maybe there is hope with granular update libraries such as Jotai, @preact/signals-react and recoiljs.

It should have been something that happens before acquisition or years after. What I dislike is the message that this increase sends. My bank account can absorb this increase, my heart can't accept that Linode changed.

As some people pointed out, Linode used to increase the value of existing plans as RAM/disk/CPU got cheaper. Here, we are losing value relative to the price we are paying. They are trying to do just enough to not lose hobbyists, b

That's a really anti-hobbyist move. With CAD losing value compared to USD, it means I have been paying more in the last year already. As a tiny hobby developper who has almost no traffic, lower egress fees mean nothing to me and the hi

In my personal experience, the Vue apps I've worked on have been snappier. There are some fast React apps out there, but I think a lot of work goes into optimizing React apps, versus Vue being pretty fast by default. When react introdu

Vue could also be an option, but I personally want to learn some Solid, as I see it could be preferred by the current mass of React frontend developers, more than Svelte and Vue. The syntax and philosophy of Solid looks closer to React, whi

I guess one technique is to train a model on various language model outputs to classify these as good/bad/intriguing/robot-sounding/repetitive/etc. A human can tag the answers for the training dataset. Then, we can

I wonder how employees feel about that change and how they feel since the acquisition. A key determinant in whether I stay with Akamai or not is if I know there are competent developers behind the cloud that care and would use the service.

I'm slightly disappointed that the internal name is not "Clippy".

Wow, I felt bad with myself for spending < 500$ on a side project. It's hard to imagine continuing past 10000$ without a profitable model.

I agree that the rail network is really not sufficient in North America, but it's worth investing more in extending this network.

The car behind the pickup truck had almost 0 stopping distance. To me, it looks like the pile up could have been prevented there too. Good reminder to keep a safe distance.
