I feel like all Amazon is really doing here is reselling the product, and that seems ... fine to me? Buy from the seller, sell to the user. Seems pretty reasonable. You can resell things you buy from shops legally, not just wholesalers.

I am pleased to see how complete this table really is. I recently migrated a tool from Otto to Modernrc's QuickJS transpile of QuickJS to pure Go. Both are represented.

The "Effective Dreamcast Go" docs on this are fantastically well written. I've read much worse docs from major corporations.

I was there like fifteen - twenty years ago before the hyphen standard and shadow dom and all that when JS libraries briefly leaned into just making up their own elements. I think everyone collectively agreed that it was a bad idea and it f

Once a year for a number of years we would have a small total outage as our Ops team forgot to renew our wildcard certificate. Like clockwork. It's been a couple of years now so they must have set better reminders for themselves. I hav

The author brings up the point, but I have always found surprising how much more expensive managed databases are than a comparable VPS. I would expect a little bit more as a cost of the convenience, but in my experience it's generall

The utter rent-seeking audacity of charging by the minute for action runners you run on your own server ... Charge a flat fee per Action, sure. There is a tiny cost on GitHub's part associated with the API calls for starting and sto

Is been 25 years since I took Japanese in highschool but I'm relatively certain that our textbooks had ち romanized as tchi which from my recollection seems more accurate to its actual common pronunciation.

I went almost 20 years without sailing the high seas. It was the death of DVD Netflix that really did it for me. With DVD, Netflix if something I wanted to watch wasn't on any of my streaming services, it was almost guaranteed to be on

Oh dang. Last night before falling asleep my wife told me "some guy from Spinal Tap died" while scrolling on her phone. Didn't think much of it. Wake up and first thing I do is read this... Rob Reiner? Really? What a terrible

I live in Minnesota and do not own a snowblower. Probably my mistake, but I always joke that I get most of my exercise in the winter. Snow is really heavy for those without context. A couple years ago we had a particularly bad snowfall. The

About six months ago Ahrefs recommended I remove some Unicode from the pathing on a personal project. Easy enough. Change the routing, set up permanent redirects for the old paths to the new paths. I used to work for an SEO firm, I have a d

Grandia II is the only JRPG I've ever really truly enjoyed the battle system of. I feel like with a lot of JRPG's I'm sitting around doing math. Grandia 2 was largely just timing things such that if you did it right you would

Nice! I started building a toy Go WASM VM myself but a few hours in realized I was in way over my head. Seems very readable, I'm going to want to go to school on this!

I have been a developer for twenty years now. For me to trust code, my want is to understand every single line. I learned long ago working on projects with a team that that becomes impossible for a single person on large projects. I learned

I found worktrees unnecessarily painful in Git with little advantage over just having two copies of the repo. Your far better off just having a clone of your primary repo, and have your primary repo as a local remote. Both can have a remote

As a home user and a Mac user, I haven't needed Office in well over 15 years given iWork and Google Docs. My company pays for office though, and I end up having to use it to play their Sensitivy Rules games for labeling files.

I thought this this was just going to be about over complicated forms that scare people away. Back when I was doing client work for a small agency we would get requests for these contact forms that would have 30+ fields, often many of them

I've said it before, I'll say it again. We should just stop using the term JavaScript. It's a bad choice of name and always has been. It's caused way too much confusion over the years making people wrongly associate it w

This seems like a very short-sighted mistake... The AI memory bubble is going to bust eventually. They have such enormous brand recognition and are known for selling a quality-first product. To just throw that all away is insane. For the la

On Xbox at least Keyboard / Mouse support is decent. I played Fortnite and Minecraft this way for a while. Personal preference, but I'd far rather have a separate device dedicated to gaming than my kernel hacked by anti cheat. ht

The number of just straight out NO's I've gotten has been surprising and disheartening. I've been a developer for 20 years and genuinely don't think I've gotten an outright "no" before this year. Usually j

I went to the doctor about eight months ago for an unrelated ailment, but the doctor wanted to do some blood tests. Turns out I had a fairly large vitamin d deficiency. The doctor told me just to pick up some supplements. After a couple wee
