Impersonal, tech-mediated surveillance was clearly the next logical step for law enforcement after the events of 2020.

ohhh... right, clearly, they only expected Mac users to open the web page or to apply.

All the fun of Terraform with none of the profitability.

JS will eat the software world. So having better tools on par with charm in the go world would be great.

Your design is very friendly and approachable. I appreciate the attempt to take another swing at this problem. I've been using Teams for a year now, and they are trying to do some of this same stuff, but what they missed was the key of

This app makes me happy. As happy as when I first used "The Hit List" back in 2007. Custom themes would be nice.

Fascinating. At first I just thought this title was ridiculous, but basically the authors are saying that the magnetic properties of the core affect cosmic radiation detection, so therefore any massive anomaly deep in the earth's core

Yes yes! One million times yes! Shut up and take my money. $4K lower than a quote from a local contractor for a less capable system.

The sort of collectible one of his characters would purchase after a successful exit from a crypto startup. But it is beautiful. Also what is this new snowcrash story he was working on!?!

try googling for it... spell check autocorrect is killing it.

"Urban mobility" is such a rich vein for startups, it makes me think living in a city is pretty awful.

This tool addresses one aspect of my job really well, looking at how a dev implemented my figma design, and showing them exactly which little tweaks need to be made to fix it up. Of course inspector works too, but it's just like buying

Yes. Debt is the entire story of the American economy, from top to bottom, it's not inherently evil. It's useful for creating new wealth. But of course it gets misused also.

That sounds like a solid improvement. It really is a different class of market interaction.

I hate the way the health-care system works and how it's affected me and those close to me. I spent much of my adult life paying off medical debt exactly like they describe. Defrayed by parents somewhat, but still a significant burden

Ahhh! Now I know what this style of interview is called! Thanks for explaining what the heck was going on in some of the interviews I went through in the last few years. Since 2005 spent a long time at 2 companies and then went self-employe

Conceptually, yes. But type definitions are exported by declarative lines in the same code that runs. Basically the schema is imperative code that runs actual validations, the tRPC methodology simply looks at the inferred types from that co

Correct! Instead of codegen, it relies on the TS language server to enforce schema compliance.

I've used both. firefly-iii is a fairly good, easy to maintain and host, web app. It's not as good design or UX as Actual - especially since firefly-iii has no mobile experience to speak of. Acutal had great mobile apps. firefly&#

It's in an established and competitive market. There's money flowing into companies doing this same thing. An investor throwing (some) capital at marketing and growth for this totally functional (and beautiful) product could have

Sad that this app didn't achieve the scale of subscriptions it deserved. A good reminder that awesome tech isn't usually enough. Do you regret not taking capital to fund marketing and support full time? Or put another way, any oth

The line between configuration and code is always a little blurry. There are some projects where using a .js file for the "configuration" of another operation is incredibly useful. TS makes even more sense in many of those situati

How unsurprising that a government wanted to further obfuscate how much money they want to take from their citizens.

I can't stop thinking about this. Logistic systems that utilize heli-stats and other drones for various flexible and inconvenient legs of the route seem incredibly powerful to replace trucks and small planes. Automation will change eve

A 225K gzipped .wasm file download for a client-side state management and persisistence layer is not great. It is competitive with some similar solutions, but still a lot for any web app's performance budget

Optimizing for distance from a national forest seemed like a good idea when purchasing a home 5 years ago. Still seems like a solid plan. Home price rises are great, but sorta irrelevant when you're happy with where you live already, a

I saw it from Pokhara on a trek, and it's a lovely bit of romanticism to think that there is a summit left on earth that is unconquered by choice, at least for a while. It humanizes the mountains, and it's a fun story to hear from
