Absolutely love Fastmail. I badly wish that they added a few key enterprise features: mandatory 2FA, SSO, provisioning, and more robust audit logs. If you’re reading we would pay for this! Fastmail makes SOC-2 a bit tedious for us to mainta

I realize it's not a pure-Rust UI, but building with Tauri has been a joy. I recently built a GUI for one of my side projects and being able to use standard Typescript client-side development approaches, with a locked-down IPC, was sur

User friendliness. I’ve seen several less-technical people able to quickly access, create, and understand “llms.txt”. It’s not ideal but representative of the tension between user experience and technical correctness.

This was mostly funded by Zcash Community Grants. Good things can come from crypto R&D.

Cable failed at millennial+ user experience. Many on-demand viewing experiences still play ads through atrocious “cable box apps.” Entrenched cable bureaucracy disrupted by app culture. For the better. Netflix also will some day be disrupte

I loved my AstroCam as a kid. I think dad and I tried six launches. When a photo finally came out it was the best day. Thank you for sharing, a great reminder of how far we’ve come. Also of how short attention span has eroded patience durin

This happened to me in college. They never refunded my $7k balance. It was devastating to me at the time. The experience has played no small role in me becoming a cryptocurrency believer and advocate for the unbanked.

Easier: I can earn or spend real money 24/7 without anyone’s permission, at any age, in any location. Faster: Payments settle lightning fast compared to ACH/Wires, permanently and internationally. Better: I don’t need anyone’s app

At minimum all of these rules should be inflation-adjusted.

Perhaps the author would consider open sourcing if they received financial compensation for their work to date? Crowdfunding or retroactive grants can liberate code. Context: a big chunk of my 2024 income was from grant money to build open

Sometimes you have applications that should not be able to access an entire database. There are other various scaling reasons, and PG extensions that can be helpful. But I agree that for small to medium sized projects, SQLite is highly unde

Yes. And they accept cryptocurrency natively (without using gift cards), extremely practical for believers in the space. Uber also owns a significant share of Grab.

The “someone hates Tor relays” theory doesn’t sound worth the effort. This could be an entity running malicious relays, while also trying to unethically take down legitimate relays to increase the percentage of the network that they control

Imitating science fiction is great marketing for a space company. Brand association with familiar depictions of “the future” is the goal, not realism.

Beware the edge case: I responded STOP to a message years ago, then was unable to receive SMS from a popular money transmission app during the signup flow to claim funds that a friend sent me. After over a month of troubleshooting, it turns

I hear you but caution against such oversimplification. Advanced Data Protection for iCloud is a thing. Our culture of cloud reliance is truly dangerous, but some vendors are at least trying to E2E data where possible. There are big risks t

It amazes me that people really believe that AWS logs nothing in its backend when logging is disabled on a bucket/feature.

I’ve often wished I could show an “I know what I’m doing” badge to support to guarantee escalation. “I’m a three star infosec General, if I’m contacting you it’s not to waste your time.”

Wails is great. Also, see Tauri for a similar lightweight approach in the Rust ecosystem.

I badly wish that chip manufacturers were required to produce single board computers with their outdated inventory. Or at least offer the chips for sale with documentation to reduce e-waste. Apple’s A* and M* chips for example should all be
