Yes, the "okay if you want to disable AI, we're going to remove non-AI features" paradigm that Gmail is also doing.

I've been working on a demo database project, and have been really impressed by the UI. So glad they decided to put more effort into it, it has made building a "follow along" tutorial really nice.

so many ridiculous "how the fuck did this get through basic QA?" issues with Claude Code. I can't believe how many critical bugs fall through. My favourite one is the bug where Plan mode can execute destructive commands inadv

If I ever need anything more advanced than what Forgejo is offering me, I'd reach for Gitlab, for sure. :-)

For the forgejo side of things, this is for my own projects. Not hosting others (or for their code search, this was for mine). For context, forgejo does have [code search]( https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/

I would love to use something that isn't GitHub for code hosting. Codeberg sounds great, but from using it day-to-day, it's really slow sometimes, and frequently times out (from Perth, AU, if it matters). This is not just the SSH

php7 was such a great time period for PHP, honestly lots of great experimental projects around that time too (HHVM before that, etc).

Bandwidth cost is also another major reason.

WOW. Okay, this is really, really cool and is exactly my niche, as you mentioned it's kinda a combination of things like Stylus/uBlock Origin filters and custom filters/etc. This is really needed, as for example GitHub code p

Yeah, performance depends. I think a hybrid approach works best (store on Snowflake native and iceberg/tables where needed), and allows you the benefit of Snowflake without paying the cost for certain workloads (which really adds up).

After running Snowflake in production for 5+ years I would rather have my data on something like Parquet/Iceberg (which Snowflake fully supports...) than in the table format Snowflake has. It's not that deep

Everytime you want to query your data, you need to pay the compute cost. If instead you can write to something like Parquet/Iceberg, you're not paying for access your data. Snowflake is great at aggregations and other stuff (serio

Sounds great until you're locked into Snowflake - so glad iceberg is becoming the standard, anything is great. The trap you end up in is you have to pay snowflake to access your data, iceberg and other technology help with the walled g

Autocomplete++ is the killer feature for me, especially for more tedious thingsike SQL column naming.

I would argue webapps killed them. Most applications now adays are just electron wrappers. WebApps also allow a much more flexible update schedule, and other benefits. Downside: apps now need gigabytes of memory for simple apps. Upside: Lin

I'm not surprised. A few months ago I was reverse engineering their login flow (I was writing a driver for Elixir & Rust), and was getting MANY stack traces and weird bugs happening with their authentication flow, especially around

Considering that when I asked about basic features, and bring told that the people interested/working on those left once Salesforce came in... Yeah.

I also love places that are named after someone and it's slightly amusing/horrifying. Harold Holt was the Australian Prime Minister in the 1960's, and went for a swim and went missing (yes, there are many, MANY local conspira

I don't care about memory usage for editors as much I care about input latency and responsiveness. Jetbrains (IDEA IntelliJ, Pycharm, etcetc) put a lot of effort into making their IDE low latency as it was getting to a point of being a

Also handy (regardless of framework, language, etc) is if you use feature flags, if you're using actual valid credentials against a service or a local testing service (eg S3 vs minio, etc). Enabling this for non-technical users really
