I’m working on a pretty cool private equity platform at Pactio. It’s probably the most complicated product I've ever worked on. The team is incredible & I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredibly talented people. Our head of engineer

Very cool. I once did something similar using sockets and Cloudflare's Durable Objects. I had my current playing song, workout minutes and git commit count. It was a bit unreliable when I switched to Apple Music so it's gone away

Another device for the e-waste pile. I'd rather pay for working software than another iDevice.

I’m getting extremely annoyed that I have to keep paying ~30% more than other platforms for iOS subscriptions. I’ve already bought the device. I’m already paying for iCloud. How much money does this business really need to squeeze from me?

This is what I don't get. Surely they know this is coming everywhere. Malicious compliance just looks like a dummy spit and hurts consumers.

Why only in the EU?

Okay, good to know. I always thought those embedded systems would be a real pain to maintain.

Am I right in thinking Delta could have chosen when the update was distributed to its infrastructure? In my mind, a quick test run of the update on a VM before letting it roll out globally would have revealed the BSOD boot loop.

Code-sharing is a headache for customers. Trying to find your flight on a rotating screen is frustrating, and having a different flight number on your ticket compared to the actual flight is just confusing. We should do away with code-share

I can CC it on emails to handle the back & forward of booking meetings - quite handy when I need to organise with a group of people. It can also send follow-ups at set times on my behalf or handle some vague inbounds. It's not the

I've made an email-based AI personal assistant I thought I'd roll into a business, but ultimately have kept it for personal use. I may open source this as it's a fun project built entirely on Cloudflare Workers (with the exce

Did you use DNS over HTTPS (DoH)? I love how easy it is to perform DNS lookups in web apps too through this. curl -H "accept: application/dns-json" "https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=ycombinato

Yes, my brain auto-corrected me to HTTPS.

Exactly this. Apple devices in fact use a domain https://captive.apple.com/ to detect when to redirect to a captive portal which will grant the user access to the internet. HTTPS isn't used here because the captive exp

You know what, this is spot on! And, I'm happy you're proud of it.

This feels like a lot of industries lately. Competition is great, but the ongoing development of so many sub par products just feels so wasteful.

Love it! A possible addition could be storing the user's subscribed TV services and region in local storage in order to bias the returned search results. Additionally, on the results page, take the user's region and display icons

My former partner is a pilot and would train new routes on flight simulator. I thought it was amazing the level of detail could be that helpful.

Did anybody else's eyes get freaked out by the blog?

Is there anything we can do to help?

Exactly my thinking. I'd like to know if we need to do anything with the agents we're running.

Our WAF logs are fun reading. We see so much traffic from bots looking for PHP files and posting to inputs.

Legislation in favour of the consumer is almost starting to seem detrimental to the startup founder. The number of barriers, prerequisites, requirements, etc that a founder needs to consider pre-launch is bordering on insurmountable. This m
