Photopea is only good for smaller edits/files otherwise it starts lagging like crazy. That said, Affinity is quite fair fast even on huge files. You can bring over like 80% of your Photoshop muscle memory. Honorable mentions depending

If verbosity is a main stickler, this is coming to golang 1.28 which will cut it down drastically: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12854#issue-110104883

On reddit you can downvote spam, so I don't think it survives on the populated reddits.

Tailwind was far ahead of its time in having an OSS business model overall friendly to users while still being able to fund development (Note: OSS projects like Minio, ScyllaDB and CockroachDB do a far more insidious "open core only&qu

I'm fairly convinced these are bot / LLM generated PR's in the first place; the content is nonsensical garbage.

Oh man, tons of updates including DDL replication! V2 looks very impressive. Now I'm curious how sharding/routing is handled- which seems like the final piece of the puzzle for scaling writes.

I like the idea of a "markdown for logic", with transpiliation to lots of different easy backends such as javascript. Not convinced the language would actually be useful, but I like the ideas for portability.

If you're young, schedule an appointment and go in, get your blood work done. Does not require a family doctor. Last time there was barely any wait time for me. The annual scheduled vists are for older people / seniors.

My mother had it detected well in advance, and is currently being treated, the cancer is in remission now. I doubt Rebecca ever got that chance. Sure, surprise late stage cancer happens, but it's often caught when you get semi-annual c

Behringer has been fairly consumer friendly over the years, it's much appreciated- its something I consider when buying audio stuff.

AWS has certainly had some pretty public facing downtime ;) I'd say its been roughly the same in my experience- the only way to avoid it IMHO is multi-region.

Yup. It's very good for the ecosystem for AWS to have good competition. Amazon gets far too greedy- particularly bad when you need egress. Also an "amazon core" is like 1/8th of a physical cpu core.

Feels like an LLM designed system. IMHO this is already over-engineered as the frameworks being critisised; no simplification happening here.

Cool to see. SDL 1 went back to System 7, awesomely enough. Before that you had... Sprite Animation Toolkit by Ingemar Ragnemalm which powered Escape Velocity, etc.
