I was just talking to a friend last night about how I didn’t know of any good off the shelf solutions for this sort of thing in the Node ecosystem like Laravel Spark. But it looks like this is also built in PHP. Is it headless- where the pe

I just really liked the simplicity of Google Domains, and all the other registrars seem like they have other agendas. I'm sure I could move to a legacy option like Namecheap... I was just hoping that there was something better out ther

Also, does anybody know the future of the .app TLD? It was exclusive to Google Domains. I am trying to talk to Google Support but it's not clear that they know the answer.

Just curious - are you running some kind of debugger or profiling software through VSCode? Because VSCode is very fast to me, and I experience literally no input latency at all. And I have used Electron based code editors that felt slow to

I mean how does Python handle asynchrony? Callbacks? I’m not sure if that’s really better. I think my issue with it is where is Python widely actually used by programmers? It mostly seems popular with data science people. So it just feels l

Yeah, a huge % (I have no way of getting a real number but I’d bet everything on >25% of content on Reddit is marked as NSFW. It would make any client unusable. The only way these API change make sense if the rumor that Steven Huffman is

Something that has gotten lost amidst all the pricing talk is that Reddit said their API would also stop serving any content marked as NSFW, essentially making it useless for any third party app (general use or moderator use) even if they c

The other thing about this that is so crazy is that services like Facebook Twitter and Instagram have all had heavily locked down APIs for a long time. Like, you couldn’t just start using their API you had to sign up and get approval. It mo

You aren’t even mentioning the NSFW poison pill they added. Even if the pricing had been workable, this was never designed to do anything but kill external API access. I definitely would have paid $6 a month to keep using Apollo.

That’s definitely the part I don’t understand. They have actively been stomping out the unique things they have that could make them a competitor, and are in the process of becoming a modern funnyjunk.com As an investor, what is the value h

Out of curiosity, I acquired a box of Mexican Xanax today. Now I just need to figure out how to test them. It was under the name Tafil and supposedly manufactured by Pfizer. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/111902

Yeah but the article describes buying individual pills. That’s not a thing in real pharmacies. It really sounds like they’re just buying from drug dealers that have setup storefronts and I don’t think the overall conclusion of the article i

Okay, that tracks. My big question was “is this independent or chains” and it’s sort of answered by them saying one location of a regional chain was doing it. I’d bet that regional chain they mention it’s just that location and the employee

Well, I have never been prescribed opioids in Mexico, so I can't speak specifically to that. I can say that the way pharmacies are setup in Mexico would not lend itself well to such a system. The title makes it sound like all prescript

Those are for pills that are sourced from drug dealers though. Why would legitimate Mexican pharmacies need to sell laced pills?

I live in Mexico and get prescriptions at Mexican pharmacies. This really hasn’t seemed like a problem at all. I’m not even sure if most of the medications are manufactured here. There was a supply chain shortage for Clonazepam where it was

I agree with your complaints, I am just saying I haven't seen Discord floated as an alternative, but to me Discord is the only service I can think of that is positioned to swoop in and capitalize on this in a timely manner. Most subr
