Appreciate the tip. Just ordered the 24GB/1TB M5 Pro at $50 below the old price point.

The framing here gives some good insight into other controversial Amazon adaptations.

Apple makes a sizeable sum through the App store and accessories. I don't think low churn on their flagship hardware is keeping their executives awake at night.

While we’re at it, Christopher Lee’s narration of Children of Húrin deserves a mention.

I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings after about ~15 years since my last one. For this read through I've been thoroughly delighted by the interlude of poems and songs whereas before I'd just gloss over them. I wonder if this is an effect of getting older.

For anyone interested, the musical artist Cosmo Sheldrake has an album entitled Wild Wet World [0] where he samples sounds from the ocean. He often incorporates a lot from nature in his music and is a real treat to see live.

I appreciate the gift but I suspect sleep tonight will be less than appreciative.

Adding to this thread: I see them a ton around Cathedral Park in St Johns.

My number one wish for this iteration is more reliability out of the joycons.

This sounds like the Roborock S series. I went with lidar over camera because it can run in any lighting condition and I don’t have a need for poop detection.

Clojure for the Brave and True[0] is what introduced me to Emacs. Getting a job writing Clojure(script) cemented my use of it.

…let's say, your TV, or your iOS device will just do 10 network calls to these different microservices. It will just not scale at all. You would have a very bad customer experience. It would feel like using the Disney app. It's just not ideal.

That’s some shade.

This is absolutely delightful! The Ruby community seems to punch above its weight when it comes to producing fun, joyful documentation.

Sounds a lot like my 2013 Subaru Forester. I often fantasize about getting a newer car but then I remember my car is paid off and has never let me down. It doesn't deserve me.

To save people a quick search, here is part of the Wikipedia definition of Form 8-K: "...a very broad form used to notify investors in United States public companies of specified events that may be important to shareholders or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission."

Differentiating messages between iPhone and non-iPhone (i.e. blue text vs green text) has to be one of the greatest ploys in business history.

Similar to other use cases mentioned already, it was a way for us to create a privacy-focused site to manage guests and give guests the opportunity to update their RSVP, dietary needs, and requested song for the DJ. Additionally there were a few sections of the site where my fiancée could update content as she saw fit by logging in and hitting save. We found the database useful to keep track of RSVPs, gifts, and who we still needed to send thank you's to after the event.

The main drawbacks were people who are not comfortable using the web and people remembering their unique adjective-noun passphrase. Also, I'm not very savvy when it comes to CSS or design so my giddiness was crushed demoing what I thought was the MVP to the "project manager".

I don't want to detract this from being about Javalin though. It's fantastic. I would recommend it and use it again for projects.

Yep! At least they didn't mind when I was drinking on the job.

I just wanted to say thank you for your work. The straightforward docs are some the best in my opinion when you want to go from "How do I do ..." to answer.

I ended up using Javalin with Kotlin and SQLite to build my wedding website.

Most of my projects are lucky to see the light of day, but with a very persistent project manager and a simple lightweight framework, I was able to ship a fantastic product with very little fuss.

Was great in the PNW

Not the person you're responding to, but it appears broken on Chrome and Safari on macOS (Firefox is fine) with a correctly set date. On further inspection it looks like there's a problem with the R3 certificate being expired. After a little Googling and I found this: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/help-thread-for-dst-root...

Hopefully that helps!

I strongly agree with your last paragraph. I used Heroku for my wedding website and I would 100% use it again on a project site.

In about 15 minutes I was able to take my site from localhost to a custom domain with SSL with just a little more than a git push. I can't think of many solutions that are simpler than that.

Scala and scalable always gets me.

For anyone who hasn't read it, Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, by Alfred Lansing is a well-written account of the expedition story.

There is, but if I remember correctly this was due to using frog DNA to fill in missing DNA gaps.

Shrinking brain strikes again

If you're referring to Fareless Square that was discontinued in 2012.

With the way the MAX stops are designed, it's still very possible to just hop on without paying.

This is the same story for me. Moving from PHP to Python was really difficult conceptually for me. For years fiddling with Apache configs and uploading files via FTP was web development.

I sometimes find myself thinking about teenagers getting started nowadays and the accessibility of development, but I suppose there are a lot more resources now than the early 2000s for some enterprising kids to get started.

This was my first thought. Assuming this bill even becomes law, it seems like this might hurt local retailers.

I told AT&T I was moving out of the country. The very valiant retention specialist still offered a discount on text messages for a year.
