I like the overall project and goal. I personally would like a way to ask questions to those that are living or have a template that I can use for filling in family history.

Secondly, the home page seems like I am reading a family history page more than talking about the software. It is confusing to me.

Thanks for sharing.

I used to colocate a 2U server that I purchased with a local data center. It was a great learning experience for me. Im curious why a company wouldn't colocate their own hardware? Proximity isnt an issue when you can have the datacenter perform physical tasks. Bravo to the comma team regardless. It'll be a great learning experience and make each person on their team better.

Ps... bx cable instead of conduit for electrical looks cringe.

I shared this article with my sister. Unfortunately I have lost faith in most people to read the full article. Within 30 seconds of sending the article she responds with "Sadly I don't know two languages! So we will focus on english together"

To me the point is to toss as much at the brain as possible. Not limit yourself or your child with monoculture.

Definitely need an LLM to just generate it automatically on the fly! Welcome to the future! (Just kidding please don't (generate automatically))

I wish there was a Git way of commenting even anonymously (not necessarily without auth). Then a site like this, written with Hugo, could keep all the comments and the moderation/spam could be built in with a GitHub authorization.

Pretty neat test of image recognition. I don't know why but it bothers me to know that everyone everywhere is being watched by something.

Using the get parameter that is mentioned at the bottom of the page produces a very jarring scroll through all comparisons.

PHP in 2023 4 years ago

I work in PHP each day. I prefer the Yii2 framework and sometimes use Symfony. For some reason I just can't get into Laravel. I tried but the rapid development speed of Yii2 really is the best for my workflow.

I bought a Keychron keyboard as others have mentioned.

On the $300 end though I got a walking treadmill for my standing desk. It is changing my life.

I'm about 2 weeks in and usually avg 5.5 miles a day. Words per minute is still 80 and accuracy hasn't suffered. Worked my way upto 2.6mph. I had to set the office temperature to 66 degrees F though. Worked up a sweat :)

I had it this year as well. Acupuncture helped with the nerve pain and the doctor diagnosed it as bells due to Lyme disease. Acupuncturist said when he was in China they'd diagnose bells palsy as lyme if it presents I'm fall.

How do you keep your bed from getting wet or do you accept the consequence?

I'm going to pursue cold showers at night on really hot days and try to keep the AC off or only kick on if the house temp is 85F.

Adapt or leave. Couldn't agree more. Any time I worked somewhere I felt my needs weren't met I tried to work with my managers to fix that. It is different for everyone but you should at least try.

And if it doesn't work for you after trying, quit batching and change your situation.

I realized that the OP can correct these actions himself. If he is in a useless meeting then he should speak up and work towards changing that policy.

If he doesn't have good equipment he could work with management to lobby for better equipment or bring his own there.

Instead of working for 4 hours then "doing whatever" he could make meaningful changes in the organization but he chooses not too.

Maybe it isn't a terrible place to work. Maybe he is a terrible employee.

Any way to use cname for hookdeck? Curious if we can have webhooks route to example.com instead of hookdeck.com

Also, any SLA on uptime?
