I made the decision to leave Github a couple months ago when I retired and started heavily working on personal projects. I like the idea of radicle and used it for a while, but it's complicated to set up and maintain if you want to run

I’d be interested in seeing those if you’re open to sharing.

Insane how the entire global economy moves things of this value around all day every day and we have no problem with it. Are you suggesting it's impossible to outsource development work to someone for $220k?

Why doesn't he then do that and pay someone $$ to build it? This is just marketing for whatever this web3 thing is.

One more thought - any consideration of hooking this to Cloudflare's queue? Then you could optionally connect another worker to that and e.g. persist everything in their D1 SQLite database.

That works perfectly for what I'm using it for. Thanks for building this!

This is great. I'm going to use this with something I'm working on. The edge behavior is just what I need. When you say limitations are a "relatively small number of clients need to share some state over a relatively short pe

Been playing in beer leagues for a long time. There's one for everyone - whether it's hockey (my vice), baseball, softball, basketball, etc. - just tons of options. It's half about the sport and half the people. I've ma

It's open source so when it's ready you can fork it and call it anything you want. Some of the features are meant to be specific to motorcyclists. And as far as getting the word out, it's easier to make it specific to a par

Everything has been done at least once. If we don't try to improve on what's out there, no progress will ever made. I think Osmand works fine for some things but really sucks for planning long, time-bound trips, which is my use ca

This is great. I've been working on an adventure motorcycling trip planning app which has similar requirements of being able to work offline as you ride your preplanned trip. Yours is a good example of what can be done by keeping it s

Let's just accept you can build just about anything in any language. When I see posts like "I built X in Rust," I just assume the process was so onerous that they had to impress others by saying they did it the hardest way po

I have a couple apps that only I use or are used by a handful of friends. For hobby projects, I never regret building things that I think are useful but I can't be assed to try to market them to others. 1. Mototripper - live streams my

Here's my question - NYT could charge me $5 and then deduct from my balance on a per-article basis. Do we need crypto to enable those transactions? If micropayments made sense, why haven't they caught on already with the payment

I use something similar for snapshot testing in Go. It's been really useful for regression testing for anything that can be serialized to []byte. I've used it for CLI output and testing image processing. https://github

Agreed. Do not buy Dell. You'll find hundreds of people with the same problem on support boards, but if you call support they will act like you're the first one ever to have a problem. Happened to me with the battery swelling issu

Same thing happened to me. Hours and hours on the phone for battery swelling which was a known problem. I was overseas at the time and they dragged the process out long enough that eventually warranty was up and they told me they wouldn&#x2

I'll give a bit of a different perspective since I've never worked as a professional developer, unlike the majority of the folks here. Don't be afraid to reinvent yourself in a completely different industry. I've change

I have a Dell XPS 13 and have run various flavors of Arch without any problems. I didn't try Ubuntu, however. Sleep and suspend just work. Battery life is good - typically 5-7 hours. Before this I had no problems with a Thinkpad and

Scratch has been great for my 10 year old daughter. She was off last week for spring break and started learning it on Saturday. By the following weekend she had written 4 or 5 games and was so proud of her first platformer game. It teaches
