What are the advantages of running Kubernetes on a single node versus not using kubernetes at all (which seems simpler to me).

And for some non-geoblocked music, if you want to actually purchase the song as MP3, there's no way unless you have a Mac or Windows PC to install iTunes (too bad for Linux users).

https://uk.7digital.com/ has a lot of songs available in MP3 format, but not as many as on iTunes.

The most difficult thing is to break the ice.

Once this is done, everything feels easy. The trick is to have a rough idea of what you'll say and just take the plunge. And practice.

We all fear rejection. Once you get past that fear, you realise most people are reasonable human beings just like you.

If you're curious about the topic, I recommend the book Rejection Proof, by Jia Jiang.

Might be a coincidence but for the first time last night, my son's sleep projector[0] didn't stop after 1h like it does normally.

I guess this could be related to it? (we are in Montreal)

I doubt these toys are protected from those kinds of events.

You so perfectly verbalized the semiotics behind those stickers.

I remember asking you for this, so Thank you so much! It works quite well from what I can see.

Small UI issue: on Desktop, the left sidebar should be scrollable, because now on Firefox I can't reach the "Language" menu item in the search results view, unless I zoom-out.

I'm curious what is specific to Phoenix that made this so productive for that project? Is the frontend using something like HTMX?

This cargo seem to give magical superpowers.

We'd need a "YAML, the good parts".

there's this trend of purego implementations which usually aim towards zero dependencies besides the stdlib and golang.org/x.

I'm interested in knowing whether there's something intrinsic to Go that encourages such a culture.

IMO, it might be due to the fact that Go mod came rather late in the game, while NPM was introduced near the beginning of NodeJS. But it might be more related to Go's target audience being more low-level, where such tools are less ubiquitous?

1. Design some machinery online with their 3d modeling tool

2. Order the parts

3. Assemble your machine and deploy it

It's just a troll (although not valid in this context) counter-argument to the saying above.

What's wrong about filtering before saving, is that if you forget about one rule, you have to go back and re-filter already-saved data in the db (with some one-off script).

I think "normally" we should instead filter for XSS injections when we generate the DOM tree, or just before (such as passing backend data to the frontend, if that makes more sense).

I used to feel the same before having a kid.

Nowadays, the scope of what I can care about is drastically reduced. But one area where I don't allow care to be dissolved (apart from my family) is the work I do.

I had to leave a job where co-workers wouldn't care and it was about to influence my own level of care by the end.

Her biography on Elon Musk is also pretty good as far as depicting someone who did hard things. I was quite impressed by his tenacity.

Seeing the articles penned by "Alain Plouffe", "André Lafrenière" and "Serge Vaillancourt" makes me realize they were _french_ canadians.

Funny to imagine a clique of – old like my parents – québécois geeking out about Atari computers and making a floppy zine about it.

So far, I find Ansible Vault to be good enough for this (when using Ansible at least): https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vault_guide/index.ht...

You still have to "manage" the vaults' passwords, though.

I see this pattern coming where we're still able to say:

"It's not AGI - it's X, driven by Y-driven heuristics",

but that's going to effectively be an AGI if given enough compute/time/data.

Being able to describe the theory of how it's doing its thing sure is reassuring though.

Good point. But is there an oligopoly in the Canadian real estate market though?

I assume the premise of Project Hammer is that transparency applied on the food industry would underline some collusion and invite for a debate on whether there's some legislation to apply against such an oligopoly.

You might also want to apply some dithering[1] to your images for an extra retrocomputing effect.

This is a nice UX experiment. What I'd like to see though, is the ability to choose whether the link opens in the current tile, or open on the right.

IMO, this behavior should be the default on Web browsers when middle-clicking a link.

Especially since people tend to have wide screens and websites don't always constrain text narrowly enough to make it readable.

Vivaldi is especially good for this. You can select many tabs (with Shift) and choose to tile them. Tiling layout can also be changed.

Also, it has all the encryptions functions one would need to implement authentication mechanisms, in pure SQL.

At least then we could say "A Proton got an Electron".

And they could therefore call their app "Hydrogen", to make it more nerdy.

Sorry that was useless.

I was thinking it might be some premium feature available for the employer (see, without being seen, and without any blur).

But yeah, if you do it the right way, that might not be the dystopian tool I am thinking of, HAHA ;-)

Indeed. This reminded me of the Panopticon[1].

Thanks for mentionning it. I just found this interesting wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place

This is not common concept to me neither.

After reading "A love letter to Deno"[1] I think I might actually start installing deno apps like this one on my home server.

Not only because they would be more secure by default, but also because Deno apps don't seem to need/want to be dockerized. Which means less overhead.

Not sure if it's a cultural thing or just some features of Deno that make Docker less necessary.

Thank you all for your ideas and reflections. It's much appreciated.
