They need to do that because, in some sense, they're competing with Gaming PCs, not really with Gaming consoles. Gaming consoles sell their consoles at a discounted price because they can recoup a lot of it when selling games. Steam can't have a markup on games because they share their marketplace with other PCs.

Stop Using JWTs 1 month ago

JWTs are secure in the sense that they are tamper-proof. And that's all you need for a session token (plus the revocation list). There's nothing inherently insecure about JWTs.

This entire list is Slack alternatives, not Discord alternatives. Discord is first-and-foremost a gaming voice chat platform. Teamspeak is the OG in that space and should've been the top of this list.

And every second I spend trying to do fun free things for the community like this is a second I'm not spending trying to turn the business around and make sure the people who are still here are getting their paychecks every month.

Then step aside as the maintainer of the project then and better yet, make something like Tailwind-foundation etc. which is truly open source. Go spend your time building your business, but you can't become the bottleneck and not do anything for something that has become so foundational for Web Dev.

I'd remove the else if blocks since we're returning.

    private String generateGuessSentence(char candidate, int count) {
      if (count === 0) return "There are no " + candidate + "s";
      if (count === 1) return "There is 1 " + candidate;

      return "There are " + count + " " + candidate + "s";
    }

One advantage of GET is I can just copy the URL and share it. The article makes no mention of that.

While I love the proposal (apart from the name, I can see the SEARCH verb being used for something that's not search), they should also address the URL share-ablity aspect.

Something like https://google.com/search<some-special-character><query> where query can be arbitrarily large (>2000 URL length restriction) and the browser is smart enough to treat only https://google.com/search as the URL and anything after that as the body. The complete "URL" can be big and shared anywhere else.

As someone who has just heard the name Web3 over and over again, is there anything tangible that I can try? I have tried IPFS, but I don't know if it's "web3".

I believe so as well. Compose is very similar to Electron. Jetbrains Toolbox (which uses compose) uses 500mb memory which is on par with what Electron would use for such a simple app.

I found a solution: Use Photos (iCloud photos) along with Google Photos since I already use an iPhone. Thanks for the comments, but I believe this is the easiest.

The most valuable thing for me is my photo library. All of them are currently in Google Photos. Is there any easy way to backup just that? I don’t care about my personal email, tasks, calendar etc. It’s just the thought of losing my photos scares me.

It's "just javascript" because if you want to modify anything and have it re-render, it's `let counter = 0; counter++`, not `const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0); setCounter(counter + 1); `. Of course there's template and all, but for regular logic, you don't have to fiddle around abstractions.

At what revenue would it start calling a full company rather than just a side-project?

It's a little different for Gumroad because they started as a company with an office and became this, but for many side projects, they start out without meetings, without offices and remain that way earning a couple of thousand USD per month.

What year did reaction happen? I spent my entire life taking it for granted, not realizing that it indeed is a little interpreted language in print statements.

Elon Musk claimed that thanks to Starlink, anybody "will be able to watch high-def movies, play video games and do all the things they want to do without noticing speed". Thus, Musk explicitly underlines his wish to reinforce already massively energy-guzzling digital activities, such as video streaming and online video games.

WTF? Is this a real problem that climate change activists talk about?

There is “Project management” work, like estimating how long the entire project will take, how much they will charge, tackling dependencies, holding clients accountable etc. that needs to be done. If you don’t have a Project Manager to do this, you’re probably using engineers to do it.
