I frequently found myself needing to convert video files and everything is either paid, needs login, full of ads, or uploads your files. So I built my own tool that has none of that.

IPO price was $135

Yes, exactly why I built this. Works surprisingly well for my use case so far which is cutting ~300MB mov screen recordings down to size and converting them to mp4. That said, converting large videos to GIFs will almost certainly run out of memory.

The ease of getting things set up quickly and usually for free when starting up is very tempting. Later, migration is usually considered risky and not worth it because of maintenance overhead - which I would argue has become very easy.

This is pretty cool. How much does this weigh?

I am working on https://spatialsheets.com Think geodata formulas + excel. Mostly for my own use just to quickly debug geodata. Used to heavily use geojson.io for it but it is not very good at handling large datasets and couldn't enrich data so I started working on this thing.

Games with anti cheat unfortunately are not supported.

As a long time windows user I have no regrets making the switch. If it wouldn't be for the games I would not touch windows at all.

To run a $245 box, you'd need an entire team with Kubernetes experience — at least one Scrum Master included. Under $2M, I’d say it’s impossible.

I feel like if you treat temporary variables as documentation they feel less icky. All these examples with the pipeline operator cause way more mental overhead than reading temporary variable names.

This looks like some visual artist was given a task to design the UI. Visually interesting but completely disregards UI research and usability standards.

Most of us are happy to suffer if it means not relying on Russia. This is the price of independence.

What would be the benefit of having https for such site?

3. So when that dependency gets removed by npm uninstall how should that comment be handled? You know that in business we just would end up with a bunch of dead comments in the package.json - is that really a better alternative than just using Ctrl+f to find where the dependency is used?

I do not remember the time it has ever crashed - and I am quite sensitive to software not working well. I can complain about the strange UI choices but not about the stability. Running this on latest Apple TV 4K

You need to type "scan d" for it to work. It's funny how both Windows and iOS manage to struggle with pretty basic search functionality.

If the workload does not benefit from cloud then I just run it locally because hardware is usually much cheaper and much faster than cloud.

Last I checked it is even worse if you need a fast NVMe. 120000 IOPS will cost like $7,800 on Google Cloud.

Thanks for the idea. If it gets rid of these nag screens riddled with dark ui patterns after every update I am willing to try everything.

I love my Gopro but the app/software experience is complete ad-ridden trash. Only reason I am looking for an alternative. Hopefully this is it.

Who is the competition besides Algolia? Last I checked most of the competition is either very expensive or very feature limited compared to Elastic/Solr.

They need to keep USB-C until they figure out another way to transfer large ProRes videos from the iPhone. Wifi is just too slow.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess the overhead does make sense at a certain scale. The unfortunate thing is that articles like this always end up inspiring some bored engineer/CTO to redesign everything so it is "webscale" like Netflix and blow the mid/small-sized companies' Christmas bonus on AWS bills.

I linked the wrong example. This is the one without having to specifically call release. https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolquery

Using libraries we already don't have to write cleanup code. What does the new keyword add that we can't already do? https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolquery

I expected the example to be less code. Not more. Other than making it more familiar for C# devs what value does it add?

You can install the portable version of VSCode and you don't have to deal with this anymore - then you can update whenever you need to.

I agree. Most of my frustration comes from unescessary abstractions and not code that I can't extend.

It is nice to see someone writing that a single server is enough for a lot of websites/apps - if not most. Computers are insanely fast nowadays.
