Today's digital entry experience is far from frictionless. Might as well add a scan of the PDF417 barcode on the back of the latest state ID cards.

I just went to a MLB game yesterday, and the digital process was:

    - Open ticket app
    - scan ticket 1
    - scan ticket 2
I imagine this could have been:
    - Open ticket app
    - scan PDF417
    - scan ticket 1
    - scan ticket 2

Precisely. ARRI is only a viable business because they also have lighting and lenses. Sony and Canon imaging subsidize their cine lines with their high-volume consumer products.

100%. The Jones Act is more than a regulatory hurdle for offshore wind projects; it's a crucial pillar for our national security and maritime strength. By requiring U.S.-built and registered ships, it guarantees high safety and quality, which is really important for complex operations like wind farms. It's about investing in our infrastructure, creating jobs, and keeping the U.S. competitive in the global maritime industry. It's a strategic move for our economy and national defense.

HTMX aims to render itself obsolete by serving as a proof of concept to advance the HTML specification. In various interviews and blog posts, Carson has mentioned that jQuery was essential only until browsers implemented features like `querySelectorAll`.

The discussion about Library vs. Framework misses the core objective of the HTMX project.

I currently use the maxmind webservices for client-side resolution in a commercial application. It's reliable but expensive enough that I'm looking for alternatives. I'm currently experimenting CloudFront's location request headers for a massive savings.

Where maxmind is $0.0003 per query. And my CloudFront concept is $0.0000015 per query.

If you have a relationship with an account manager, talk to them. There are options for better rates.

Oracle/Netsuite has an interesting approach to upgrades--they force them on you twice a year.

Upgrade windows aside, it's ok. I imagine that the sweet-spot for Netsuite are businesses that do 5MM to 100MM ARR. Possibly less if there's a heavy need for EDI, volumetric shipping, etc.

I tried to launch something similar 9 years ago, rebaked.com. We sold the company 18 months later to a team that has since pivoted into a web3 offering.

If I were to do it again, I would pick a very narrow niche and have a few talented folks secretly working on the bounty side, full-time.

I do like that you have chosen to leverage GitHub for the collaboration operation. Best of luck to the team!

I applaud the San Diego Water Authority's efforts to diversify their sources. The Carlsbad desalination plant receives the most local coverage, but it's the investments in reclamation that will be vital in the coming decades.

I'm running both UA and GA4 for that exact reason. My team can't pull all of their regular reports with GA4, alone.

Sometimes you just need to step away from the grind.

Was your work routed to someone else during your time off?

I would truly like to step away and relax. But the last time I tried to step away, I couldn't stop ruminating over all the unfinished work in my queue. My hunch is that it's not possible to truly relax unless someone else can temporarily step-in for the vacationer. Otherwise, on return, we're just greeted with an even-larger pile of work.

Great tip! I was taught that this method was called the "roadie wrap." Though I was shown that it's possible to achieve the rotation by rolling the cable between my thumb and index fingers.

Love the recipe presentation! Years ago I remember seeing a table layout on CookingForEngineers--but this is a significant improvement.

One suggestion: Add iconography to indicate cooking apparatus. The gestalt of your nested layout gave me a quick sense of the prep and cooking phases, but it would be nice to see if I need to preheat the oven or pull out the backyard grill.

Is the distortion correction applied in the feed to the operator, or is it applied in post?

With such fast movements in close quarters, I would love to see a global shutter.
