@dang a better URL would be https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q (I can't tell if Dan has an alert set up on his handle or whether he just sees everything, but hopefully that works :))

Yeah. I guess maybe terraform makes sense if the people writing it spend enough of their time writing HCL to master it, but I ported our terraform config to Pulumi a few years ago and never looked back. It meant I could spend way less time

I’m paywalled on the article but I think the issue is specifically with Polymarket hiring US influencers when they aren’t allowed to let Americans trade on the platform. Kalshi is allowed to let Americans trade so it’s not an issue (assum

FWIW, Polymarket is still technically not available from within the US, although since it’s crypto I imagine that’s not an insurmountable geoblock.

Technically, to get that far you have to accept GitHub’s ToS, which does have terms (linked elsewhere here) that contributions are assumed to have the license of the repo unless otherwise noted.

Every podcast is an RSS feed. Most podcast listeners don’t care about that aspect, but they still get the advantage of every podcast app having essentially the same set of content (compared to, say, YouTube for video or Audible for audioboo

Californians: has it worked out well? As a non-Californian it does seem to have, given how often the cancellation terms are specifically more favorable to Californians, but I wonder how it works in practice.

For the specific example of a Yjs backend, I happen to be working on one that can be hosted either on Cloudflare or as a native process. We’ve had people running in production migrate from cloudflare to native just by swapping out the URL t

Yes, but you described it as a fatal problem. My point is: - this app didn’t need fancy graph querying, so didn’t have to implement it. - if it did, there’s a natural way to extend this approach to support it.

Well, the problem an index over multiple documents solves for is also not present in the application presented by the article. The plan for an individual trip (or even a lifetime of trips for most people) is not going to exceed a size that

It doesn’t give it up, it just moves that aspect to the server. The server can still build an index over the documents in whatever way it likes, perform expensive queries, and only send the results to the client. An example that matches tha

I think you’re misunderstanding the overall architecture here. Instead of syncing the whole tree of strings, the way you would generally represent a PKM with Yjs is to make each logical document a Yjs document (especially given the assumpti

The main issue you run into is that the web is designed around client-server communication; you can do peer-to-peer communication in theory but because of NAT and firewalls, many of those end up not being peer to peer in the end. Plus, if y
