Between open-weight models largely not worth their salt, and me setting up a VPS to do all my development now because I kept running into CPU limits with my M1 Pro, I think I'm just going to replace the battery on my M1 Pro and wait until a MacBook Pro with cellular arrives.

It's wild to think that even just 12 months ago, I would have hailed the touchscreen MacBook Pro. Now I don't need much more than an Air. (I also did more video editing back then, whereas now I don't really do it) (and I also want to play games)

Why not both? T3 Code exists.

If you're happy with not doing cargo and can tolerate an also slightly weird pax distribution, I highly recommend [NIMBY Rails](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1134710/NIMBY_Rails/).

Both, although if you put it in the repo, it will apply to all users that clone your repo.

Because there’s no guide on how each package manager sets their minimumReleaseAge and every package manager uses a different format… (can we please get a standards committee going for security-related configs like these?)

Note: unless otherwise specified, X is a number ONLY. No date units (don’t specify 7d or 1440m. Your config will error.)

And for the love of your favourite deity, remove all carets (^) from your package.json unless you know what you are doing. Always pin to exact versions (there should be no special characters in front of your version number)

    npm: In .npmrc, min-release-age=X. X is the number of days. Requires npm v11.10.0 or above.

    pnpm: In pnpm-workspace.yaml, set minimumReleaseAge: X. X is the number of minutes. Requires pnpm v10.16.0 or above. From v11 onwards, the default is 1440 minutes (1 day)

    Yarn: In .yarnrc.yml, set npmMinimalAgeGate: X. X is a duration (date units supported are ms, s, m, h, d, w, e.g. 7d). If no duration is specified, then it is parsed as minutes (i.e. npmMinimalAgeGate: 1440 is equal to npmMinimalAgeGate: 1440m). Requires Yarn v4.10 or above.

    Deno: In deno.json, set "minimumDependencyAge": "X". X can be a number in minutes, a ISO-8601 Duration or a RFC3339 absolute timestamp (basically anything that looks like a date; if you are in Freedom Country remember to swap the month and the date). Requires Deno v2.6.0 or above.

    Bun: In bunfig.toml, set:

      [install]

      minimumReleaseAge = X

X is the number of seconds. Requires Bun v1.3.0 or above.

If you're not a fan of OpenAI: I work at RSpace (https://github.com/rspace-os/rspace-web) and we're an open-source research data management system. While we're not as modern as Obsidian or NotebookLM (yet - I'm spearheading efforts to change that :)) we have been deployed at universities and institutions for years now.

The solution is currently quite focused on life science needs but if you're curious, check us out!

This is perfect for me, who want to avoid Chinese-branded devices as much as possible.

Smells like something that Effect-TS is designed to solve in the TypeScript world.

Reminds me of this line of code where Apple included a symbol just to please an app (which happens to be WeChat, the largest IM app in China): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/libmalloc/blob/13...

Teams has been awful in terms of getting the notifications to you. Also small things like not being to able to reorder channels is bonkers.

I was going to suggest moving to Slack for our nonprofit, having been unsatisfied with Mattermost a while back. It might be time to reconsider...

Hey! Was looking at https://jobs.lever.co/planting.space and it looks like nothing is open?

Sent in an application - very cool about supporting neurodivergent people!

SEEKING WORK | Berlin, Germany | REMOTE (flexible timezones)

CV: https://cv.thelastcode.io

Email: tyteen4a03@thelastcode.io

I am a software engineer with over 6 years of experience building web applications.

Since my first website at 10 on GeoCities, I've gone on to work on Minecraft custom servers, MMORPGs, web application used by millions, and led volunteer teams to deliver IT services powering a homeless shelter network every Christmas.

I enjoy being "the glue" to IT projects, working across disciplines to ensure they get delivered on time, meet budget and satisfy users. I specialise in modernising legacy applications using modern technologies and frameworks, and have created greenfield applications from scratch.

I speak PHP, Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, and have worked with frameworks like Next.js and FastAPI. My current obsession is headless CMSes (PayloadCMS gets my vote).

Or use PayloadCMS, which is Next but at least you don't need to deal with WordPress.

Does anybody have Vercel's mailing address? I would like to send them a "Have a good day at school!" card for this issue, which will be old enough to attend elementary school next year: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/10084

Location: Berlin, Germany

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

I prefer full-stack development on the web but can also specialise into backend / frontend and other disciplines as needed.

Good to know that I can permanently blocklist Zapier.

You need to build your own frontend, but PayloadCMS is my go-to.

Fine on my macOS Firefox.

I like them too! Hate Bluma though.

Even before everything happened I prefer to get Fritz Cola in German supermarkets because I can get Coca Cola literally anywhere else in the world. If only they would sell 0.5L glass bottles with screwtops more / start selling 0.33l Aluminium cans, I would switch over entirely.

This is extremely disappointing news coming from somebody who architectured a project based on the fact that Prisma is the perfect multi-language schema DSL.

The only edge for Prisma is now lost - I might as well just use Drizzle.

Hi, the job postings require me to choose either Stockholm / Gothenburg. Is Remote EU an option?

Not a VR studio employee but I'm the Tech and Community Lead for Toontown: Corporate Clash.

rdb is truly the goat for keeping all of us in the modern age!

The game itself is also still around!

Two major flavours:

- Toontown Rewritten, quite close to the original game with QoL features

- Toontown: Corporate Clash (I volunteer there) has brand new mechanics and various QoL to bring it more to a modern MMO's standards

While we're on the topic of niche railway games, I highly recommend [NIMBY Rails](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1134710/NIMBY_Rails/) - it is the closest you can get to building functional railway systems in a game.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: Software Engineer (Game / Web) / SRE / DevOps / Technical Artist (other roles also available) at Toontown: Corporate Clash

Toontown: Corporate Clash is a non-profit, fan-made revival of the defunct Disney MMORPG, Toontown Online, with a brand new storyline, new mechanics and new characters. We're committed to pushing the genre of Toontown Online forward - [check out the trailer for our latest update](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImehBT4ChVI) on what we've done for the game. We've also used our home-grown IP to raise funds for charity; last year [we raised $22k for Childre's Miracle Network Hospitals](https://corporateclash.net/news/article/134) by licensing our IP to be made into plushies.

We get anywhere between 400 and 600 concurrent players on a typical day, and up to 2000 players when a major update launches. Our team consists of 100+ passionate volunteers in all stages of their careers, with many having used the experience gained at our project to help them secure jobs and further opportunities in the industry.

We use a wide variety of languages and frameworks:

* Game - Panda3D (Python code, C++ engine), MongoDB / Postgres

* Networking - HAProxy and Astron (C++, but we're also looking at adopting Rust)

* Web - Our legacy stack is PHP + Laravel + Vue, with the new stack being based on TypeScript (Next.js, Hono/Elysia, Cloudflare Workers)

* Launcher - PyQt at the moment, but we're looking to adopt Tauri (TypeScript + Rust)

* Hosting - Cloudflare Workers / Pages, AWS, Azure, GCP (wherever free credits we can get)

* Infra - Docker

If you are an aspiring tech person who wants real-life experience in a large-scale project, we would love to hear from you!

(NOTE: We typically ask for all applicants to have at least 3 months of in-game gameplay.)

Google wins hands-down for local results, but I use Maps a lot to find restaurants so it might be just me.

Crisis at Christmas | Volunteer position | Flexible | All levels welcome | London (UK) on-site / Remote

NOTE: Still looking for VoIP people / MDM admins!

Not a job job but I'm hoping to find volunteers who can help us end homelessness in the UK for good.

Crisis is a homelessness charity in the UK. Our flagship event is Crisis at Christmas, where we open homeless shelters during the Christmas period where many other homelessness facilities close and the homeless population face loneliness during the festive period. We provide shelter, warmth, food and drink, activities and entertainment, Internet Cafe, international phone calls, and most importantly advice services to get people out of homelessness for good.

There's a ton of IT that goes on: We need internet connectivity to run our centres (and to provide our clients with Wi-Fi), software to manage everything that goes on in a centre like inventory / incidents / client relationships, making sure we have enough IT supplies like hardware (desktops, tablets and printers), and the list goes on. On top of that, we need a robust service desk to help our (also volunteer) users if they run into issue with IT.

We would appreciate any volunteers in any IT specialities (hardware, software, SRE, VoIP, tech support, etc) in any level (student, starting out or years in the field) to join us and help out with developing and maintaining IT solutions to ensure our event is a success and lift people out of homelessness. As a volunteer at Crisis myself, I've learnt a lot of things I wouldn't have a chance to do in my real job, and that's what makes it interesting to volunteer here.

I can be reached at timothy.choi (at) crisis.org.uk if you have questions or would like to know more.

I made the mistake of chugging 1.5Ls of Coke Zero when it first came out (I was a dumb teenager at the time). The original formula was much gassier than what it is now, and I went through the bottle over the course of maybe half an hour. After I was done I started vomiting and had to be bedbound for days recovering from what feels like food poisoning.

I think it probably would also have happened if I drank the normal stuff but the gassiness of Zero certainly accelerated things.
