What if the data is dynamic but small and low qps? What are the current easiest projects and services for authed data CRUD? Is firebase still good?

Fyi, the table of contents gets cut off (its box is smaller than its contents) at zoom levels of 90% or larger for me. Here's a screenshot at 100% zoom https://imgur.com/a/0t9cKs5 Great article!

I've thought about this too - if you use tmux, you can use `tmux capture-pane` to grab all the output and scrollback in the current window.

Idk, this feels like one of those things that would be a huge problem for a startup with a less established legal team, but fairly easy for big corporate Google lawyers to write language releasing them from all liability.

One guess: if macOS could be virtualized, it would be even easier to run things like Messages, FaceTime, and Photos on non-Apple hardware, which reduces some of the lock-in effect that keeps people from leaving the ecosystem (i.e. Green Bub

Also variaty -> variety, "can not" -> "cannot", and there's at least one more place on the page that says "assitant" :)

This doesn’t make sense to me. If one clause says another clause can be removed, then doesn’t that create a contradiction where legally it’s unclear which of the two clauses “wins” the fight - the one adding additional restrictions or the o

If I threaten legal action against you and you hire a lawyer to respond to me, and I then take no further action, am I liable for your lawyer’s fees for the response? I believe the answer is no but I don’t know for sure.

The title of this post is so ironic given ChatGPT’s tendency to stop in the middle of its responses!

Can you give an example of using a ZST as a marker in a Mutex? I think I understand that you're suggesting this as a way of locking some section of code even if it's not a specific piece of data that you're locking, but I&#x2

The discussion around this being a non-free standard encumbered with license restrictions makes me wonder: is there an alternative for pixel-perfect rich document rendering? HTML needs sandboxing to be safe, rtf is barebones, and .docx has

This is an amazing write-up and I’m super excited to play around with a lot of the open source projects you referenced. Thanks so much for sharing.

The analogy of "if it was a spoken word, it would sound as if it was getting played backwards" was helpful, but I'm still struggling to understand what's happening here. Thinking of the audio analogy, I could imagine imp

Why shouldn’t emoji be an annually refreshed collection of fun fashionable clip art? That’s exactly how users use emoji - for culturally relevant references. As a user, I get excited to see all the new emoji each release!

In my experience with doing data downloads from companies, they often don't contain everything, even though they're legally required to. I wouldn't be surprised if eBay doesn't include specific notes about this person&#x
