You are technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.

I have same problem and landed on using simplelists.com for email groups. Users don’t have to install anything or get yet another account. Still, I would like to find something that does text, email, and basic group features like calendar

This is what I want to do ultimately, but I'm at a sort of crossroads. I have a good job, a consulting side gig, a good family, and 0 hours for my own ambitions. Several years ago I made about 20k on a solo project, so I know I'

Are there any component libraries that just do this for you? Like an angular or Blazor component you put your variations in and it handles storing results and handling the logic.

I'm literally porting some code to Otel now and here is what I landed on, even before this article: It is confusing because it's a topic that uses vague terminology that means different things in different domains. For example,

A little bit of a tangent, but my kids often ask this sort of "why don't we just..." question. As some examples, why don't we just: ...send landfills to the sun to burn up ...use a wind turbine on a car to generate elec

Starting with 3 trillion trees, the reduction needed to reach 400 billion trees is 3,000,000,000,000−400,000,000,000=2,600,000,000,000 trees. Given that 15 billion trees are lost each year, the number of years required is 15,000,000,000 &#x

Really amazing site. I could spend hours on it. Only real suggestion: I’d like to see more stuff. Layers for notable events in different categories besides just battles. It would need some curation but user- submitted content. Or maybe us

I remember an anecdote about this topic where someone (I think it was Douglas Engelbart?) was giving another a hard time about their military software being used to kill people. At which point the other person mentioned their software used

Funny, I think it's a perfect summary, but in a positive sense. Some of the tools you can modify the prompt, or include a .md file in context to help direct it. But even without that, I don't find it a waste of time because I hav

I think this is a pretty clear-eyed view. I've been a developer for 25 years. I use Copilot every day now exactly the way he describes. I get it to do XYZ, then use it to refactor what it just did or clean it up myself. Every now a

I agree, no-signup is really nice, esp. since I'm hesitant to have my kids signup for things, and of course free is nice. That said, if you do want or need to monetize, one idea would be to slap a donation link like 'Buy me a beer

What a brilliant idea!

It’s ok for what it is. I learned some and enjoyed, but eventually cancelled for various reasons. Math Academy is good if you want a serious course (they are accredited and offer a transcript). Khan academy is good if you just want some o

My son is using Math Academy and it's been excellent. A really good system if anyone is looking for online math course.

This is pretty cool. As a self-taught developer with a non-CS major, my math limited out at college algebra 2. I recently did Brilliant.org calculus just to try to make better sense of various CS papers, and I thought at the time I could

Really nice project. One idea for “if we fail to take down a message that no longer applies, it confuses her.” Put a start and end date/time on messages and implement in the board. That way you can pre schedule them and have them fall

Also, climate conditions on Mars are worse than on Earth. I hear it’s so bad you can’t even go outside!

Well, in this case I'd be fine with client-side Blazor (WASM mode), as there is a mature REST API and it is an internal app where SEO etc is not important. But yes, routing is one hassle as well as the complexity for developers etc.

Yeah, I looked into lit as a possible way to do this, but was left feeling like then I had 3 things to juggle - lit, angular, and blazor. Should possibly revisit, though.

I’ve done strangler pattern for a large api and it worked well. I would like to use it for migrating a large Angular spa UI to Blazor. But that seems more daunting. Even if I did find a way to bridge and host Angular code inside the Blaz

Take us -to- it, or take us past it? It’s one thing to go zooming past a point and another thing to get halfway there then turn around and slow down and park there. A telescope would almost certainly want to park there.

This is so cool. I just sent to my kids as they always ask what computers/phones/music/etc. was like "when I was a kid".

Answer to this will totally depend on the scenario. Figure out what your RPO and RTO is on each thing and build out backups and failovers accordingly. If this is anything but a personal lab, you will likely need both db level backups (ie g

Visual studio plays a >donk< on test or build failure and a ding on success. I have a habit of switching away to another project or hacker news while tests run, so this is extremely useful for me.

I can empathize, but am also wondering if some of these are feature requests in disguise. For “how to call api” docs, sample code, and even client libraries can be generated from your OpenAPI specs. Link to the docs in every reply. The m
