I am not in any way pro-Google and I feel what they are doing with AMP is a perilous path, but your article was not convincing. It’s trivially easy to rotate a JS name and serve it from the same cached edge file (eg with cloudflare workers)

Makes sense, forgot there was a web client. Thanks!

I didn’t say that they should do this for security of the execution environment of the code, I’m not sure how you got to that interpretation. The GP said that there is output to tell users not to compromise themselves by blindly pasting uns

I owned a 2003 bmw and there were many modules within it (for example, the rear trunk latch was its own module). With CAN bus electronics it’s super cheap and they design a lot of the parts to operate this way, and they don’t directly inter

Sounds similar to Tesla and including the cameras and computer for AP but enabling through software. I don’t really have a problem with this but I wonder the implications of building DRM into basic car features like a heated steering wheel.

Why does discord even let users access dev tools? This is trivially easy to disable in prod builds. Seems odd. Is there a valid use case?

People dislike electron because they are using apps where it is not implemented well. Javascript is single threaded and blocks rendering when it’s executing, just like most major UI frameworks. You have to run everything outside the main UI

AFAIK you can only do this if you disable the local loopback check that prevents windows auth from passing credentials to local host webservers.

You can use nextcloud as the cloud backup and turn off backups within google photos, and then you have a photo manager with encrypted (and self hosted) backups. I have not used nextcloud myself. I use Apple products and pay for icloud. I us

It sounds like you have the motivation and persistence figured out. That’s great! Have you read Lean Startup and done some customer research? Maybe I’m wrong, but gut reaction to this app is that very few people would be willing to pay for

Replication is about having data level redundancy to protect from drive failure. Backups are about having point in time snapshots of the system state, and about having them tiered from a location perspective. The 3-2-1[1] principle says to

OT doesn’t require a central server, just a tie breaker. You could just do leader election over webRTC using raft and offload OT to the client side as well and have that node push updates to the server for durable saving every x seconds and

Carpenters still use harvested, dried, milled lumber. Chefs still use harvested, dried, milled flour. Frameworks are tools and building blocks like this, but for software. Not using them is not like an artisan carpenter using lumber from th

Search really has 3 main levels. 1. Core ranked inverted index data store (Lucene) 2. API layer on top of Lucene with easier query, index, data importing, sharding, etc. (Solr/Elastic Search) 3. Fully hosted API / UI for easier GU

Ionic uses capacitor for native deployment. Capacitor is a thin cli wrapper and an api abstraction around each platform. In the desktop case, it’s a wrapper around Electron. For mobile, it’s Cordova.

Agreed, this drastically changed my opinion of Recurse.

Hmm, is this really true? Typically people mean lxd or docker when they say containers, but VPSes run on KVM or OpenVZ and are a different level of abstraction than a container. I could be misunderstanding VPSes but I believe they are true

Digital goods have almost zero cost other than the payment processing, compared to manufacture, distribution, warehousing, retail space... This is apples and oranges. I can sell a SaaS license thru Stripe for 3%. A subscription through the

I like the art, not a fan of the text boxes not having white backgrounds when editing but I get the stylistic choices. Interesting approach to mind mapping, limiting by # of cards seems like it encourages large cards though. Could you do a

Congrats on the launch! Hope one day to need a chat solution for something I build :) Elixir is interesting for the resilience of BEAM and being FP oriented, and LiveView is a neat concept for templating HTML, but if you are already buildin

I would love to see the CEO of CloudFlare come to your wedding. Your prank article was a nice read and I had a good laugh.

What sounds unsafe about having a locally bound port inside a container that only binds with an env variable getting set?

Sounds great, please reach out to me on this from my profile if you’d like to discuss further. I’ve been using CouchDB/PouchDB for a product, and have worked with RxDB and Realm as well. RxDB has schemas which may mesh better with your

We’re an e-commerce site, and target ie10+ but lately have been relaxing that requirement. We will likely move to no IE support in the next year or two.

Could you use the free tier for regression testing a subset? Like up to 1M either first, last or random sample? Or do the datasets themselves have to be prefiltered down to 1M results?

It’s cognitive overhead to remember a different key for something as common as copy+paste. What if selection was holding down middle click and copying was right click? This keybind may seem easy for you but it is arbitrary and therefore har

Most users have JS enabled, you could just track clicks making an Ajax get call with a click listener on all links before navigating if you don’t want to use something like GA.
