I don't get the drama either. The issue I have with CSS is less about the spec itself, and more about browser compatibility. I'd be dead with caniuse.com and MDN. Having said that, when I build a new page, I rarely need to spend m

To add to the woes of the publishing industry, a lot of sales are lost due to piracy. $300MM a year for the US alone (per a 2019 article). https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamrowe1/2019/07/28/us-publish

Now if only I could buy just the one show I want to watch, and not pay for the entire month.

I spend quite a bit on cloud, and despite that I would not spend my time setting up my servers/firewalls /auth .. Just not worth the time.

In many ways, it feels the same to me. Specially alarming to me is that some of my friends, who have no idea how LLMS & AI work, are seriously considering investing in it. The barrier to entry is quite low, and getting lower. Almost al

I assign certain days in a week, (and sometimes hours in a day) to my different personas. I only plan out a few days at a time in advance. I just dump these on my calendar as events. Aside from a few unexpected events (like a bot attack th

I like this approach, especially for systems that don't immediately require scaling to millions of users. I use MySQL with the 'SKIP LOCKED' option for my queues. I recognize that this method may not scale indefinitely, but

Possibly. I use my iPad for netflix.

My pet peeve with Netflix is that it occasionally forgets where I last paused my video. I don't often watch Netflix, so when I do, it's annoying that I can't resume from where I left off

Very cool. Made me realize how much I used to like math as a student, and how much I've forgotten.

Perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully. The obstacle is that its not intuitive that you can install/save this PWA to my home screen via the Share Button. Someone is going to have to tell you the first time. If you open t

Not on the list of Apple's priorities I guess. If you have an app, you can include a meta tag on your web page and Safari will show users an Get from app-store banner at the top of the page. ( https://developer.apple.com&#x2

Its not intuitive for the average user. "Share" does not usually imply "Install" , and the add to home screen option for me is way down in the menu.

Not really. Not for non-tech savvy users. Try it on an iPhone. First you'll have to find the share button on the browser bar, then scroll down and find the option 'Add to home screen'. I don't think its very obvious. Mos

On IOS, I can't install a PWA/add to home screen with a simple click. I think thats the bigger obstacle.

Also, its very difficult to make money on just one book. Most indie authors start seeing better sales after 5-10 books, having built up a loyal reader base.

In a way, its kinda like financial debt where if the monthly payments on principal/interest are not too bad, I'd rather not refinance.

NextJS is fairly easy to pickup if you're familiar with React. The basics and a quick prototype will probably take less than a day. NextJS was (and maybe still is) a popular choice for server-side rendering. If you don't need that

Exactly in the same place as you with Elastic Search (8.11). Went down the vector path to get better matches for adjectives, verbs and negations ( "room with no skylight" vs. "room with skylights" & "room with a

I read Malazan for the first time this year after putting it off for decades. Loved it and will likely read it again
