   I don't know, it makes the internet a little more interesting. Its not really hurting anyone (in this case)

   I have to imagine once you find your trap street, you can start looking around for other copyright infringements that actually can be prosecuted. In fact, it might be a better strategy to never bring up the trap street at all, extending its

   I've had problems with performance over large data sets, maybe 1M records and a few < 300 char fields per record. I've never implemented full text search using a dedicated database so maybe 1M is too much to ask for.

   Having a liberal-leaning thesis isn't "woke", thats a complete misunderstanding of what the word means in this context. Wokeness is a recent aesthetic trend, liberal politics is ancient.

   I'd guess Stripe and PayPal are quite happy with the current vendor lock-in

   Similar things are happening in other countries. The US is looking at this one too.

    Seriously, are any of you "increasing output" with AI? I get like 10 good lines of code a day from Copilot. I don't even try ChatGPT anymore, as its only useful if you're writing boilerplate. Everything thats actually ha

    Also relevant: https://a327ex.com/posts/snkrx_log The developer talks specifically about choosing a small scope for a game, and clearly spends a lot of time thinking strategically about being an indie dev.

    Account creation failed because I chose a user name that already existed. When I changed the username, account creation failed because my email and phone were already taken. I guarantee they aren't, I think the system actually register

    God I just don't buy the "these people will go on to benefit humanity" argument anymore. We don't need more tech companies. We don't need more hedge funds. We don't need to feed our genuinely brightest minds in

    Gaming is literally the only reason to own a Windows these days. The experience is genuinely miserable.

    I get better at pretty much everything I do, every year I grow older. Except maybe working out. I'm sure that will stop some day, but it sure as shit isn't 30.

    Another problem is how different people define "Moderate". I'm pretty sure the CDC would classify 2-4 drinks per day as a very heavy drinker.

    BNPL schemes are (or at least were as of a year ago) destroying Gen Z. This one may be less destructive as it doesn't look like interest rates are a thing, but still. Don't get into the habit of spend ing money you don't have

    This is smart. I guess because the common wisdom you see repeated everywhere is "Never memoize unless you're sure of the benefits". Never thought about using them for any other purpose.

    I despise the prevValues paradigm that crops up. Its even recommended in these docs, under "Adjusting some state when a prop changes" Having to keep a second variable around for every prop you need to compare is just miserable to

    He's not a mommy blogger, usually his stuff is worth reading. This one is a bit more of a story though, rather than an investigation.

    Microsoft just can't stop doing this. All of their products suffer. I'm happy to fork over the absurd Apple tax just to feel comfortable at my computer, and to know I'm not going to wake up one morning to a forced OS update t
