I'm using Firefox on Windows 11 and it's noticeably clunkier than Chrome, especially when using heavy web apps like Jupyter Lab. Oftentimes the browser hangs completely, including all its windows, for 10-30 seconds at a time. This

Great to see price competition in 2.5GbE equipment. Seems like a lot of folks are getting AT&T fiber lately and discovering that anything that deals with anything over 1 Gbps is much pricier or even impossible to find even in prosumer s

Interesting how this mentality haven't changed in many decades now. We weren't "allowed" to cite/use wikipedia as any type of source in high school back in 2006. The easy solution is simply to cite the primary sourc

I've dove relatively deep into the world of NFTs in the last few months. Not the tech side, but the selling/buying side of it. The culture can easily one-up the grift ideology of the "passive income" content production w

I wonder what happened to "upload the files via ftp and be done with it" deployment process? Setting up cloudflare, github, github pages, amazon, etc is just too in-the-trenches.

Yes all these are positives in theory, but in my 5 years of supporting and maintaining monorepos, I've mostly been inundated with incredibly degraded developer experience and hair-pulling CI hacks. I am convinced that the monorepo (a s
