I have bees myself. Beekeepers and scientists all over the world are trying to breed better bees with improved VSH. While it may work in a laboratory, it does not seem to work consistently in practice. You cannot just buy a "VSH colony/queen" and no longer treat Varroa mites. Even with careful breeding, the VSH behavior often vanishes (or is greatly reduced) after 1-2 generations.

Of course having only colonies with a strong VSH would be the end goal so we no longer need to treat our bees. But until then, better treatments are needed.

Cloudflare really likes to publish new projects, but improving them in the future is not really their style. Some examples:

- They launched Cloudflare Web Analytics in 2020, but it still does not support basic things such as UTM parameters or custom events

- With wrangler (their CLI), you still cannot undeploy a Cloudflare Page

Proxies are allowed to drop bodies of HTTP GET requests.

RFC 9110 states:

[..] content received in a GET request has no generally defined semantics, cannot alter the meaning or target of the request [..]

A client SHOULD NOT generate content in a GET request [..]

Insufficient mock data in the staging environment? Like no BYOIP prefixes at all? Since even one prefix should have shown that it would be deleted by that subtask...

From all the recent outages, it sounds like Cloudflare is barely tested at all. Maybe they have lots of unit tests etc, but they do not seem to test their whole system... I get that their whole setup is vast, but even testing that subtask manually would have surfaced the bug

Developing GUI applications for Linux is also a huge pain. Developers not familiar with Linux need to learn so many things...

What is X11, Wayland, GNOME, KDE, d-bus, application ids, portals, etc.

Then once you have a working application, users request having it distributed as .tar.gz, snap, flatpak, you name it. Then dependencies are missing on some Linux distribution or there are random bugs with Nvidia graphics cards.

Compare that to developing for Windows, where most things "just work"

We are using system webviews for https://kreya.app (not Tauri, but a custom implementation) and the platform differences are seldom a problem...

Polyfills fix most of the things and we are running automated end to end test on Linux, which catches most of the issues.

IMO the most difficult thing is figuring out how far the users are behind with their webview version, mostly on Linux and macOS. Windows has done thinga right with their WebView2 implementation

I bought an Epson EcoTank five years ago and am very happy with it. The ink is dirt cheap.

The only downside is that you have to print something every 2-3 months, otherwise the quality degrades noticeably for the next few printouts. But after that it has always returned to normal quality for me.
