I really wish gitea offered a paid plan for individual users so that there was a good alternative to Github available for personal private git hosting without having to self host.

I routinely see ads for fake medical treatments that they refuse to take these down when I report them despite the fact that the ads obviously violate Google's policies. So many of the ads on YouTube are for things that are obviously s

The idea of Wasm as a universal plugin system is very promising. But string passing is maybe not the best example to highlight, considering that Wasm is introducing stringref to enable zero-copy string sharing between the Wasm runtime and h

It's bizarre that companies aren't just selling the roms for classic arcade games that are otherwise completely unmonetized. There's an audience that would happily pay money just to be able to legally do what they are already

Pocket isn’t a bookmark database, it is a tool for saving things to read later. The user interface is primarily built for reading, not organizing. I use Pocket extensively for reading, but I use Raindrop separately for organizing and managi

Any plans to support the WebAssembly GC proposal? Binaryen supports GC structs and arrays now, but there aren’t a lot of runtimes that have it yet. It would be cool if Wazero could do it in a way where managed structs can be seamlessly shar

Your comment makes me wonder if I should give the series another chance. I only read Consider Phlebas and didn't continue with the series because I found the book so frustrating. It felt like there was a ton of context missing. I kept

Markdoc custom tag definitions can include arbitrary AST transforms on the child nodes, as in this example: https://markdoc.dev/docs/examples#tabs In order to do this, you need some API, so you can't just define t

The underlying problem is still highly relevant in relation to JavaScript build tooling. Let's say that you have a transpiler written in Rust and you want to write a plugin that performs a custom AST transform. If you want to be able t

I'm bullish on Rust, but there's a long way still to go. The overhead of passing values across the boundary between JavaScript and Rust is quite high. There are a lot of cases where you want to be able to provide a dynamic configu

I tried one of the beta releases and successfully migrated a small toy project that I had been working on in Unity. It's remarkable how much Godot has improved. The new 2D tilemap editor in 4.0 is really good. I was also really happy t

Performance has improved noticeably, particularly for the mobile apps, but it is still slow. I am a heavy Notion user and happily pay for it, but I really wish they would support local sync so that it would be more responsive.

I am deeply sympathetic to Alex Russell's position on frameworks, but the reality is that he's never going to move the needle by badgering developers to prioritize performance over developer experience. The ecosystem won't mo

Raindrop released a major update with highlighting features two months after this blog post was written, so the author's concern about the lack of recent updates is likely due to that major feature being under development at the time.

Hey, I created Markdoc at Stripe. Back in 2017 when I first started exploring options for improving the authoring experience, my original prototype actually used AsciiDoc (via AsciiDoctor). I had a lot of trouble getting buy-in for AsciiDoc

I really wish that Jetbrains Gateway supported attaching to remote Docker containers the way that VSCode does. This is probably the biggest thing keeping me from using Jetbrains products more extensively.

This looks like a great solution for rapid prototyping scenarios where you want a basic CRUD backend with as little friction as possible. The API preview feature in the admin dashboard is a really nice touch.

Microsoft can't have it both ways. Crippling open tooling in order to extract more revenue or drive lock-in will undermine their efforts to make .NET relevant outside of the niche occupied by traditional .NET shops. I can't imagin

I'm interested in non-git deployment as well. For an image-heavy site, I would really prefer to avoid having to store static assets in GitHub so that I don't have to deal with git LFS. It would be nice if their CLI tool could supp
