Oh firestore, it's been a while, I'll check this out

got two new users to one of my side projects, they said they came from ChatGPT

Maybe we need a CORS spec for llms?

Are they barefoot?

I think you missed the point here.

This is useful. Thanks for sharing

I guess so, but maybe the body and brain adapts too, depending on where you live. Average annual temperature where I live is 26 degrees C, could be lower indoors.

Thanks, unfortunately I live in Africa, no roles yet for my location. I'll wait as I use the products :)

What's it like to be an engineer designing and working on these systems? Must be sooo fulfiling! #Goals; Y'all are my heores!!

> We received a large number of complaints about your account

I hope this system is smart enough to only consider complaints from accounts that this user has messaged recently, otherwise, a group of people could decide to maliciously report an account.

But how would they determine this if it is true that they do not store messages on their servers?

FYI a gallon is just under 4 litres, for those of us that think in litres.

This is cool, Loads pretty fast! My two cents are get the or a .com. Dono if its just me, but .coms are more memorable.

Netflix should just get live soccer content, massive massive market!

Stories seem so obvious right now but wow, that was some creativity from Evan Spiegel. Snapchat is built on genuine innovativeness.

Thanks for the detailed response. Great points for me to note! I think hope and optimism are what keep us going, even when everything around us is mostly negative.

I see. There is a reference to BASIC in mid Season 2, where they had to use a computer to unlock certain doors. The UI was Text only :-)

> Case in point, there's a scene in a supermarket with a bunch of breakfast cereals from various pop franchises

Yep, Season 3 Episode 1. Also seems like everyone went to the mall to hangout :-)

Thanks for this perspective. Had to google what yuppies were..learnt something new today.

> You're seeing the past through a heavy filter

I agree. I guess it's what movies do. Unfortunately, or fortunately for me, its all I have as a reference, including a few books here and there. But I like that there seemed to be a clear cut distinction between life and technology, today, technology is so intertwined into our daily lives

You could say the same about the English Premier League, or soccer today. I'll specifically call out Man City and PSG.

But luckily we still have the magic of the FA Cup, and also soccer is full of surprises!

Very interesting, and certainly hard to catch, even for technical users. Maybe it is things like this where google is justified for "forcing" 2FA on us. Lowers, although minimally, the effectiveness of auth credential attacks.

Whether it be setting up a LAMP stack on a server, securing nginx with Lets Encrypt, deploying a python ML model as a web service, you name it, DigitalOcean's tutorials just work. Thanks Digital Ocean!

PS: I love the Idea of calling a single server a "Droplet" in the "Digital Ocean". Nice one DO.

I greatly empathize with anyone who lost a loved one to Covid over the past two years. Sorry for your loss.

However, I do think that the reason we took lockdowns as a solution is because China did the same in the first place. But I don't think we should do that again.

I will speak for myself, and I have no epic reason, I am just tired of it all.

Damn! It's quite obvious what happened here. CEO is lying by using the term "unusual activity" b'se why would the unusual activity only apply to African startups?

But this is no surprise, for example, African startups are sometimes asked to move their headquarters / company registration to like Europe or US before receiving investment.

Another lockdown possibly ?

eh..this is too much info to reveal online...how bout say, a VPS (with your preferred cloud service provider), which if not logged into in say 40 days, sends an SMS or Email to your Wife or Next of Kin with your secrets, pins, passwords and locations to anything physical.

One of Cloudflare's strengths is taking dev issues really seriously. Couple weeks ago we had a post here about Cloudflare Images having lots of issues [1]. The post did outline a lot of valid issues. Someone from the team commented that they had forwarded the post to product manager and engineering lead for Cloudflare Images [2]. Issue 6 (Direct Creator Upload) on the list has been fixed, and the docs updated

What Has Happened to Twitter?

Answer: They hired a "ruthless" product manager, who believes in things like "we should do things that are good for Twitter, but not necessarily good for the world", and probably wants to be remembered as the PM who took the route that no one was willing to take. (S)he has the data to backup these decisions, like some analytics dashboard that shows very many unauthenticated users browsing twitter. Also wears a tough face in meetings.

I feel like if instagram were to be driven further in the monetisation direction, we would no-longer have instagram, so someone else could innovate around photos, and take the still photo market.

I feel like instagram is no longer an actual photo sharing app, just a place where high profile users promote stuff to their followers.
