I would argue that the gain is more than "negligible" in some cases. I'm building an app involving storing and serving images and I'm surprised that for the same images with the same resolution/quality, WebP is ofte

Would an app like this work with TV? Would be super cool if it would.

Ah, sorry, I didn't notice the website itself was that old.

I'm working on Pictera [1], an AI product where users can upload their photos (like selfies) to create high-quality, hyper-realistic images of themselves in just about any style they want. Originally, I built Pictera for myself to use

Now, it's been a very long time since I see a mention of "Internet Explore 5". Kudos for highlighting the support for it but does it matter, who in the world are still using Internet Explorer 5?

Wish all browsers, at least the big ones, would do this by default. It would save regular users like us from fumbling around trying to figure out what works.

Tor's great if you're okay with browsing the web at "stealth mode" speed! Have you found it practical for everyday use?

Thanks. I'm a bit confused by this tool. I ran and got this result > Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking. Which sounds like a good thing. Then it follows with: > Your browser has a nearly-uniqu

Great point on focusing on high-impact tests. I agree that LLMs risk giving a false sense of coverage. Maybe a smart strategy is generating boilerplate tests while we focus on custom edge cases.

Are there any browser extensions or tools that effectively prevent fingerprinting including canvas fingerprinting? Or is this one of those privacy battles we just have to accept as unwinnable?

Sounds like you're living the dream! I definitely agree that a few months of safety net doesn't feel "safe" at all and 1-2 years is more reasonable. One question, how did you initially start building that network of clie

Thanks for sharing your journey, it's very inspiring. I'm curious, how did you find your first enterprise clients, and what strategies helped you secure long-term projects? Any advice for building that initial trust as a solo cons

I used to freelance and I can totally relate to the "feast or famine" cycle. Freelancing often sounds ideal—freedom, flexibility, and the chance to work on diverse projects. But the reality of inconsistent income, lack of benefits

Wait, you're a Captain, and you fear of taking off and landing? I have so many questions :). Also, as someone who is scared of taking off and landing, I'm even more scared now.

Very nice. Some are actually very useful. Suggestion: keep the sidebar on the left when inside an app, instead of requiring users to going back. Easier to explore the tools.

I'd recommend learning PHP if it helps with immediate job opportunities. PHP is still widely used in many places so that skill won't come to waste. However, long-term, learning a more versatile language like JavaScript or Python c

Heroku's PostgreSQL is still free. As for dynos, the lowest tier is $5/mo for multiple apps (not production traffic of course, maybe for MVP), with custom domain support.
