Didn't Danish postal service just ended operations? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/world/europe/denmark-lett...

Sadly Shoelace doesn't play well with Rails' FormBuilder...

Radix Colors ?

The song actually refers to a kind of candy named "Mistral gagnant"

On the contrary, I quite like how it's a very elaborate and useful ad. The link to the paid service is very discreet and the website provides real and free educational value even if you don't use their service.

Can you elaborate on Rails' snapshot testing? Are you talking about VCR / webmock?

Nice library with a very approachable documentation, congrats!

I'll probably give it a go to replace my current implementation using nokogiri-happymapper (https://github.com/mvz/happymapper)

Their customer support is really top-notch!

This is usually called a "honey pot" if some people want to search tools for implementing it.

Parts of GOV.UK [1] and the Paris.fr website [2] are also good examples

code itself is apolitical

I suggest you read Larry Lessig's Code 2.0 book.

Of course because you need to be authenticated to contribute to OSM...

Ahoy https://github.com/ankane/ahoy is an interesting tool that we use to replace Google Analytics in most projects now.

It covers all the basic needs, and even if you're not using Rails, I think you can draw inspiration from it!

I think your referring to auto-correct, rather than "autocomplete".

https://webauthn.guide is a quite good overview of the spec

Huh. I hadn't really thought about malicious actors using these vast password dumps to try and target users that are continually using weak passwords.

Ahoy is a great tool to do just that, if you use Ruby on Rails: https://github.com/ankane/ahoy

Yes, it's well documented and pretty easy-to-learn, prevents you from reinventing the wheel, and provides simple conventions for your team :)

The open source statement isn’t accurate because Chromium is open source.

But Firefox is free software :)

Perfect use case for self-hosted analytics, such as https://usefathom.com

It already works in Firefox (behind a flag), but sadly some websites explicitly target Chrome...

See the end of the blog post:

All VC1 users can upgrade to Start servers without any price change.

To upgrade your existing VC1 server, simply do a power off and a power on your server. Your server will start on a Next-Gen Start Hypervisor with increased performances and for the same price as before. You may already be running on a new hypervisor if you created your server recently. New hypervisors are powered by Intel Denverton CPUs instead of Avoton.

please edit, his last name is Swartz

I also use Hatchbox. It's a pretty good (and cheaper) alternative to Heroku, and you can own the VPS with your provider of choice!

Downside is that this is very new and there is only a PHP library.

Main reason for me is performance. Especially important on a mid-range smartphone with sloppy network.

During the maintenance period, Public PAIR will be unavailable.

Immediately after the maintenance, users will only be able to access Public PAIR through URLs beginning with HTTP,

It's exactly the point made by John Oliver when he interviewed Snowden for Last Week Tonight, and showed him a picture of his d*ck.
