The dutch healthcare system also doesn’t consider dental health to be primary. Not sure why exactly. It can be purchased as an add-on. I personally never pay the premium but instead pay for the cleaning and check up sessions separately. It’

Perhaps the key with testing strategy is to define what to test. As pointed out, code coverage is not a good metric when followed blindly. I believe there are at minimum 2 levels that need testing. First is unit testing. It should ensure co

I got a similar solution on iOS as a shortcut connected to the action button. Some apps doesn’t allow easy text copy. Or when it’s in a foreign language. It does: - take screenshot - extract text from it - translate the text to english. Aut

I was also in love with i3 when i was using Linux most of the time. My first Linux machine was around 2002. Back when Ubuntu just started shipping CD’s around the globe to spread the word (“love”) of open source. So I also jumped on the til

Perhaps due to demand and the variety of system compositions possible. I have been using HA since early days. If i have to pay someone to build it, i would be very poor. The amount of time and effort put into it, it’s insane. And environmen

No idea what these 700 employees were thinking. They probably had little knowledge of what truly went down other than “my CEO was fired unfairly” and rushed to the rescue. I think the board should have been more transparent on why they made

Care to elaborate? Microsoft funding OpenAI doesn’t grant them right to just grab intellectual properties.

Really nice write up. This reminds me of my time building a similar platform back in 2015-ish. It was also a free tier for back then 40k apps. Built on top of cloud foundry. Before k8s was GA. We also suffered from scalability issues which

I seriously do not understand why Slack decided to have workspace level design settings. I use 6 workspaces of which 2 have decided to switch. Now this mixed up workflow is driving me insane. The design switch should be on app level. I rare

Lack of full device encryption is also a no-go for me. I can’t imagine loosing such device that contains confidential data. The difference between this and a piece of paper is that this could contain your whole stack/library. Not just

In the past i used SQS where the client can extend the TTL of a given message (or lock in this case?) while it is still alive. Isn’t that possible with Redis?

Ah if i recall, in the past timer based triggers cannot be run automatically. It required manual confirmation. That has changed it seems. Thanks for pointing out.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Not sure if this was a recent feature/trigger in shortcut automations. Will update the article soon with this addition.

Thanks for pointing out the dark mode issue. Hope to address it soon. Regarding trigger i meant there is no standard scheduled system like a cronjob. The article is meant to inspire others. It solves a very specific problem i have. It’s far

If i recall one of the biggest selling point of lambda (serverless) was the “infinite” scale. Sounds like the “cash cow” for cloud service providers when used in efficiently/inappropriately. Besides the lower maintenance efforts.
