I've followed all the main migrations and I've say they where really quite smooth, can't remember having any major issues and each time it tended to be worth it.

I was always roughly of the mind that Backblaze was just too close to the "If it's too good to be true it probably is", seems like that may have been a good decision.

Depending on how you define "new" but there are certainly examples of this, Spotify is the first to come to mind, AWS could be another.

Hardly, they banned fully disposable. You can still by them but now you can swap in a refill cartridge. The price of this refillable one is the same as the original. Many places apparently don't even sell the refills so it's pract

Unlikely, I've used apps similar to this such as passbook [0] for a while now and they're still up. [0] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/passbook-wallet-pass-creator/i...

My point is that there is no one CSS library to rule them all and likely never will be. The closest to that is going back to pure raw CSS which I highly doubt people will do. And yes while it's obviously not ideal to have a hundred com

I used to be a naysayer of tailwind. However after getting practically forced into it I'm now drinking the koolaid. Yes things like having to duplicate styles using multi cursor is kind of silly, however for the vast majority of the ti

There is a very good set of podcasts[0] by Cautionary Tales about the German V2 rockets in WW2 which tried to use this. It was so hard the Allies allowed them to continue wasting money on it during the war. Well worth a listen to if you&#x2

Ha, that is definitely not type of abandoned that I was expecting. That poor chap who was killed, what an incredibly unlucky event for him.

It hadn't even occurred to me that working on OSS outside of work hours on your own equipment might be against policy and get you fired. Is this perhaps only a US thing? I've never heard of that in the UK / Europe.

That is incredible to read. It's one of the things which makes you stop thinking about all the awful things in the world and realise just how incredible modern science and medicine is.

Interesting to note that almost all of the salaries from 2023 - 2024 dropped by quite a substantial amount.

Give it ago, for as little as £20[0] you can get a Raspberry pit kit which would let you build something similar to a micro mouse, ( I'm not sure if the actually raspberry pi is included/required.) [0] https://thepihut.

Hey, this worked for me in Factorio (trains instead), I'm sure it could work here as well!

Used you chaps for my previous rent, honestly very good service but does depend on having a good relationship with the landlord.

Mitenmit, if you're the author, could I suggest some keybindings such as control enter to save and move to the next input to reduce the amount of clicking? Or perhaps tab will move you forward.

From the Justipedia website: "With the benefit of hindsight, Justapedia is restoring the spirit of objectivity and neutrality Wikipedia has long since lost". Is there any proof to this accusation? I thought Wikipedia has been doin

At that point I would auto download any videos from my subscriptions so they are controllable locally. Then an AI or integration with an Sponsorblock could skip the adverts. Host this all in a system similar to plex and it would be quite tr
