But if you use web scale tech you can scale to infinity on day one right? :eye-roll:

Oh no not wrongly at all. The project was on life support with only one maintainer who had stalled out all efforts to onboard new people. I burnt out hard in 2020 from trying and quit. Luckily I found some folks willing to help try again, a

You probably dont have enough context to have clarity here, but this release was to unblock performance and simplicity changes. We first needed to clean up 10 years of stagnant code from the years with a single maintainer, now we can remove

And now that we finally resurrected the project we can land the perf improvements which were unable to land with one maintainer and still supporting 10y old node versions. We likley will not get it to match fastify, but our goal is likely t

In case you are not aware (maybe you are) node has experimental support for http imports. I personally think this feature is a disaster for many reasons, but if you want to use it in your toy apps it is there in node.

Not my area of work, but pretty sure that is expected behavior to resolve an ever changing set of services being called out to. Better to do dns resolution than for a call to fail and have to re-resolve while you wait on a loading screen ri

Point number three is critically important and no matter how many nerds complain it is not activity pub or some crypto thing, the company focus on delivering a product which is viable to use by normies is awesome.

yeah but this one is more official right. It is from one of their team members.

I full time'd for nearly a year with just three cell devices and the Open Signal app. The only time I had issues was when we watched some shows and used our bandwidth "cap" on our unlimited plan and it throttled me the next m

We full time'd for a while towing a 40ft trailer with a diesel f250. While it is obviously not "efficient" relative to smaller rigs, it is way more efficient than living in a house and commuting daily even with an EV. This is

Of the past three years we have spent about half of it (full time for the first year and a min of 4 months each year since) traveling with our daughter in a 40ft fifth wheel. The small space has been even more impactful with a small child,

yeah I got confused seeing this on the top. in my head said "what is this, 2012?". Am I wrong this existed way before 2017? edit: I am correct, it is much more old. https://github.com/heroku/12factor/grap

I dont think this should be considered controversial. This sounds like a well balanced opinion, and is for sure one I share. JavaScript has many missing features. This is not one of them.

I hate people who do this, nd it is probably why my wife has such a reaction, it is more about me pestering her too much than her actually wanting to ride in the fast lane. Backseat driving is a bad habit of mine. But one thing I have learn

This is largely a west coast problem. We are doing a trip to the west coast this summer (sitting in the shade of my RV in AZ right now on our way) and we had to book a lot more in advance than other destinations. The past few years in the c

Hey John!! Wes here, sitting in the shade of my RV right now. Funny to hear the last line, because mine says the same thing about when I am driving. And when she is driving she literally tell me "fuck em, I will drive how I want"

by wesleytodd 3y ago
It depends. If it is a passing lane and the RV is not passing, shame on them. If it is a small pullout you often cannot slow down fast enough to catch it unless you are really paying attention for it. Remember, slowing down a big rig (espec

It is my understanding that the at protocol has the building blocks for alot of these use cases as well. So while yes bluesky the app is just a micro blogging social media, the protocol should be able to do the rest.

My wife is an etsy seller, so I asked her opinion on this. TLDR of her response: "it is the people who don't take it as a serious business who are having issues with the etsy cut increase". Basically, the ones who try to comp

A few weeks ago I searched for "pandemic related to increased reports of mid-life crisis" but couldn't find anything. This data could back up my theory in that the increase in resignations seems to be mid-career folks.

I bought the game late last year and have almost 700 hours already. This is a great game and the 1.1 update is awesome. Logistics, move queue, and follow for Spidertrons are game changing.

Just recently bought a 2020 F-250 and a 40ft fifth wheel, also yes! I spent ~$1000 on the generator setup for 5kw. That said, they are probably much more fuel efficient than running the 6.7L diesel.
