Nice!

Cool idea for you:

Have one of the widgets as a photo album.

Upload some images, or maybe connect to a Google Drive folder.

Then every day it shows a family photo! :)

XMPP is great. You can own your whole stack with no commercial restrictions.

If you're coming from Slack, this plugin is a game changer:

sudo prosodyctl install --server=https://modules.prosody.im/rocks/ mod_slack_webhooks

Use this instead!!!

This website is not very user friendly. Huge amount of assets to load, an unclear product, and a visually distracting experience.

Amazing. The hall of fame section is hilarious!

I don't want this. It's too complicated.

Plus it's vendor lock in.

Give it time. Soon you'll only be able to push using Github's CLI.

Worth it for what?

The "what" is important.

Neat, but this game seems too simple. I think AI has missed a core gameplay mechanic.

There needs to be something to stop a deadlock. Like an element of luck for the hares?

Neat as a pet project, but anyone thinking of using this is production is insane.

Rewriten in Rust is becoming a meme now.

Too little too late. Xbox is dying and PS won.

Try listening to your customers next time.

We don't want to be ripped off with paying for assets we don't own.

We don't want another monthly subscription.

We want the old games, remastered, with fully functioning multiplayer.

We should have just added optional body support for GET requests.

So much simpler...

The cofounders will not put your priorities first. Their only goal is to make money for themselves. They will axe you if they feel like it.

They are not hiring a founding engineer because they want to do something nice. They've probably realised this path is cheaper than hiring an external software development company.

Don't think for a second that you will be an equal in this relationship. You will be at their beck and call. You will be forced to write bad code to get early sales.

You'll get paid less to do more. I would stay where you are.

What a brilliant resource.

I think this should be used in schools.

Really easy to understand and instantly captivating.

Please do more topics!!! :)

Two things jump to mind:

1. The best product rarely wins. As much as it pains me, marketing and sales matter more than product. Your competitors are likely better at marketing and selling themselves and their product.

2. It's a bit cliche, but look into the candy, vitamin, and painkiller theory. Your product is not a painkiller and I suspect it's a candy. Candies are very very hard to make a successful business from.

But, I wish you the best of luck. :)

Thank you for releasing this for free! :)

The reality is that SaaS is hard to sell these days. It's not 2010 any more, the gold rush is over.

That's not to say it's impossible, but it's so much harder than 15 years ago.

Everyone and their dog is starting a SaaS. Very few are selling them. And almost no one is turning one into a job.

The people who are self employed by their SaaS started them 5 years ago.

Get a job, support your family, and protect your mental health.

Agreed. SQL has been one of the most stable and useful skills I have.

Rivalled only by Linux, shell scripts, and Cron!

This is a solved problem.

Use HTTPS and use the integrity attribute.

Also, what's more likely? Someone hacking jsDelivr/cdnjs OR some random NPM packages getting hacked?

The joke is on you NPM! I only use CDNs for my JS libraries.

> The god does not need to have a concept of human suffering

It does if it wants me to devote my life to worshipping it.

I don't subscribe to God.

Humans have been inventing gods since the beginning of time as a way to control/exploit the masses or soothe the over active mind.

There are thousands of dead religions, but this round of current popular religions has hit the nail on the head... right?

A truly powerful and kind super being would not allow child abuse, cancer, famine, or rape to happen. Even if there is a god, I don't want to worship something that allows those things to happen.

Also, the term god is relative. To an ant, we are gods. Any sufficiently advanced being would appear god like to us. Should ants worship us given how little we care about them?

For every moment of beauty that must prove God's existence, there are an equal number of atrocities that must prove God's absence. We just don't see them as often, because humans hide that sort of stuff from polite society.

It's far more healthy to accept our mortality and short lifespan, packing it with things that make us happy. Masking your fears of death with a religion is a mistake.

Rather than devoting my life to worshipping something which may or may not reward me in the next life, I plan to spend my time doing and feeling positive things (because they feel good).

If I had to pick a religion, I think I'd choose Buddhism. It just seems like a good way to be peaceful.

Came here to say this. And you get access to lots of models!

Article doesn't make sense. Some of the "horizontally scaled" servers have their own state. A local cache, a temporary filesystem etc.

Also, has teh author never heard of long running queued jobs? Or long running scheduled jobs? They ultimately report back into the DB (updating their status etc).

This article reeks of someone using AI to make huge leaping jumps of logic. The "single source of truth" rule has survived this long for a reason. It works!

Recession signal.

What language(s) are you comfortable using?

Good, I wish them every success.

I hope this sets the trend for cars too.

I would happily buy a new car with a 2000s Japanese engine and no tech.

Remember that thing Microsoft does?

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

The first two have been done.

I give it five years before the GH CLI is the only way to interact with GitHub repos.

Then the third will also be done, and the cycle is complete.

Everything about this is over engineered. Just KISS.

They're not exclusive. Quite often developers use a filesystem with a database.

Store the file on the filesystem with a unique name. Store the original name, the unique name, the owner, tags, a description, locking, auth, enforce uniqueness, and track access with the database.

Then try and keep things performant and handle concurrency!

Try doing all of the above just using a filesystem and you'll either:

1. Waste years making a rubbish database. 2. Do a bad job trying to do everything with flat files.

PostgreSQL/MySQL or SQLite are easy wins.

No. Just no.

Leave Git alone.
