That story and the followups have always been and remain extremely suspect. https://www.google.com/search?q=bloomberg+supermicro+story

They have a great license too. I can bring my personal license to my work computers so it makes it a no-brainer to just buy the license and then use it everywhere. They recently made that one license work cross platform too, and retroactively upgraded my license for free.

Looks neat. Seems to have a lot of overlap with Kasm Workspaces (https://www.kasmweb.com/) which is another cool project.

Same here, took me a solid 5m to find a way to sign up. Add a link the announcement blog post and the FAQ, Mozilla.

Cloudflare Tunnels (formerly Argo Tunnels) are a free complement to Cloudflare Access. It's an easy way to expose internal servers to the public internet, which you can then lock down with Cloudflare Access.

This is super cool. It's awesome to see someone trying to tackle this problem. I assume no carrier/mvno will adapt this but I'd be extremely happy to be wrong. I would instantly switch to a provider that made use of this tech.

> This feels like some third world country shit.

It’s very frustrating when people say things like this because until it “feels like some typical US shit” nothing can get better.

Let’s get past all the American Exceptionalism ASAP please.

I could listen to this all day

What sort of real impact has Strong Towns been having?

If you're willing to say "this deduction only helps wealthy Californians but I define 'wealthy' as people buying median-priced (and lower) homes" than I'll get on board with that statement. I don't think it's a super ambitious or useful one though.

I often see this said but you can do some quick math to see it affects more than wealthy people. A median single-family home in CA is now $800k, so the property tax on that would almost be enough to hit the $10k. And that’s before any other state or local taxes like income tax.

I actually don’t support reinstating the SALT tax deduction but the discussion of it seems off.

The better takeaway here isn’t “omg a writer of great stories isn’t a good speller?” but rather “Crowe was still writing screenplays in 1996 in a medium that didn’t have spell check”

Seagate Ironwolf is cmr on the lower end line making it cheaper than the analogous WD Red Plus line. Given the price and that Seagate hasn’t recently fucked consumers I would recommend those drives instead.

You’re right, that line is technically correct but very misleading. There appears to only be a very slight racial bias among the “definitely not” crowd.

As opposed, for example, to the party affiliation skew which looks quite pronounced.

Process Monitor (ProcMon) is one of the best diagnostic tools on the planet. I’ve used it to find why my machine booted slowly (encrypted font?!), what sort of network activity is holding up an app, why my USB device was sucking at wake-from-sleep, etc.

Process Explorer (ProcExp) is amazing at inspecting processes, eg to see their environment variables, see what process integrity levels look like, find out what process has what path open (eg since Windows won’t let you delete open files), etc. It’s a good complement to Task Manager.

TCPView is great for some weird cases. I used it once to find a bad web server as I could see my http requests were failing when the load balancer sent me to a specific IP. This impressed my web developer friends who weren’t used to seeing really accessible but low level diagnostic tools.

All the memory tools are great too.

nope

Yes, even JS Twitter is extremely toxic by my definition. But more importantly there is no group of people you can follow to keep the ratio of JS related content above even 10%. It’s not a reasonable way of following a topic.

This is exactly the problem: Twitter, unlike other platforms like Reddit and even Facebook, make curation impossible.

Want to follow someone who posts a lot of interesting things about JS? Be prepared to see posts they like about curry poodles. Oh here’s some worst-in-class topic recommendations barfed out by depressed ML, and you can’t turn them off. What do you mean you don’t like Roseanne Nostalgia? Here are some Binky The Clown Stock Tips.

The internet in general is prone to “the loudest 1%” problem, but Twitter is something special where it’s the craziest and loudest 0.01%.

It’s so sad because all JS related discourse moved to Twitter at some point so I keep trying to make it work, but have to keep quitting for my sanity’s sake.

I was wondering the same thing

A lot of the “Ruby on Rails with Textmate” crowd came from Java where you used full IDEs (in addition to the LAMP developers who were not using IDEs).

In California, where earthquakes are a concern, wood frames are highly preferable. I think it’s illegal to even build a house with unreinforced masonry (eg plain brick) since it’s a death trap.

I think you’re mistaken. ProcMon doesn’t use ETW on Windows and I don’t believe it ever did?

For really large sites Next.js already has Incremental Static Regeneration which is usually the right solution to fast [re]builds: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2021/04/incremental-static-...

> I would have guessed that the person who greeted me, showed me where to sit, and asked if I needed anything before leaving was a receptionist regardless of gender. That seems like an unfair strike/test.

I had the exact same thought and then immediately realized it was bullshit. If it was a man I think I would question their role and I think that’s true of most people. It’s hard to say after the fact.

Some people don’t have these biases but most people who think they don’t are just full of shit.

"All these 'thank you's and 'please's are annoyingly adding to the verbosity of the bug reports!" said no small-scale open source software maintainer, ever.

I use UniFi Protect but I wouldn’t recommend it.

It took me multiple days to figure out how to give another person in my house access to the doorbell camera because the UI isn’t great and in a constant state of flux. (https://community.ui.com/questions/Add-user-to-UniFi-Protect...)

Also, everything relies on enabling remote access to my UniFi router (a Dream Machine Pro) which I thought was something the on-premises UniFi stuff was supposed to help me get away from. Accounts have to be UniFi cloud accounts and not local ones. Protect is totally dependent on the UniFi cloud but they’re offloading the hardware costs onto you.

CORS is about safely allowing two cooperating, different origins to communicate. In this case, Facebook and the host are cooperating.

Those cities are much larger, both in size and population. DFW is 8x the population of SF. According to Google, at least.

Meanwhile those new building numbers are NOT 8x.

Monaco was not extracted from VS Code and predated it by many years.
