I'm using snapdrop.net for that. It requires a server, but clients only need to open a webpage, so it's easier after initial setup. I run mine on Synology server.

Too bad it seems to not be mantained anymore

Why build dropbox, you can easily do it yourself just by using (...)

I picked up Svelte to build my first non-trivial app, which is flying navigation aid for hot air balloon pilots[1].

Svelte is much, much easier to grasp than React or Vue, especially when it comes to state management. I like that it’s super lean and it never confuses me what’s native Javascript and what’s the framework (pretty important for a non-developer me). And I love not having to write huge amounts of boilerplate code.

Reactivity sometimes gets more complicated than advertised on docs. For example, I have a bunch of functions where I manipulate an object and need to reassign it to itself (feature = feature) to trigger refresh on reactivity block. Sometimes it’s easy to miss and not know why reactive statements are not being updated.

Also, docs are pretty barebones. For comparison, I think Vue docs are explaining details in better and clearer way.

people in the comments have no idea it's a deepfake. Without knowing beforehand, I wouldn't recognize it too.

Vector map of the whole Earth in PMTiles format is only ~65GB[1] and doesn't need any server or database - it's just a static file which you can host wherever you want.

bdon (author of PMTiles) already commented on this thread. I recommend taking a look at https://protomaps.com/docs - compared to this, raster tile servers sound like ancient technology.

I did different setups over time, but currently settled on forwardemail.net for incoming catch-all custom domain and iCloud+ SMTP servers for sending.

40 people web startup. Currently Metabase as main BI tool, but I'm thinking about introducing a tool like hex.tech. IMO classic BI and dashboarding is inflexible and future lies somewhere else.

Backend is Bigquery + dbt. I highly recommend Bigquery if you are on GSuite and use Sheets. You can create views or tables in bq and have them included in sheets, always up to date. With dbt you can have them tested and be sure data is always correct.

True single source of truth, even for coworkers who work with excel only

So advertising works? If it didn't, those buying ads would not take the pepsi market share

Man, this is perfect example of why most open source software has no chance to compete with commercial one.

One day I wanted to improve getting started documentation in open source f.lux alternative for linux, because it didn't work for me in Ubuntu without any visible error. I found the solution investigating terminal logs and did a 5 point write up "How to setup on Ubuntu".

Readme pull request got denied because "only one point applies to Ubuntu" (others were applicable to other distributions, too). Somebody even commented few months later that he found my pull request and it helped him make it work on his machine.

This mostly made me stop contributing to other projects.

VR gamedev is pretty exciting for me. There are almost no conventions or good practices, everybody is winging it. It's very greenfield and you work with your own hands and body.

Why single data scientist should be responsible for obtaining data from 2000 stores? Data at scale requires people at scale. Data engineers would do this job.

I wonder why it seems nobody wants to use Hugo. Smashing Magazine appears to be happy with it and they tooted about their experience with Hugo multiple times.

Instead, everyone chooses Gatsby, Next or another javascript based framework of this week.

Putting advertising outside of marketing is not a nuance.

Advertising is part of marketing.

In Europe, giving employee less time than it's needed to complete a task is called mobbing.

My Slide sorts by hot by default

Isnt ActiveRecord using SQL behind the scenes?

Completely agree. For example, why isn't there functionality to define aliases for complex expressions and then reuse those through a query. Simple query-local SQL functions would be nice too.

What about common table expressions? Or custom defined functions?

GIS is something I have limited experience with (I'm a hobbyist pilot), but find very interesting. How did you enter the industry?

In my experience input lag in Google Docs is very small but noticeable compared to local writing.

You can get used to it, but I prefer more snappy experience.

https://commercejs.com/ looks like nice platform.

They have a plan with 0 upfront cost, you only pay % of transaction.

Good adblockers do DNS lookup to see if subdomain points to tracking server anyway.

Only completely self-hosted (your domain, your tracking server) solutions are resilient to adblocking

It looks insanely complicated for no reason.

Why do such super organisation, where you have great search at your disposal?

I just have everything inside Notes folder with subfolders if any project is getting bigger. Anytime I want to look for something, I just do global text search for the whole Notes folder.

Console support is not there by default due to licensing, but I heard that one of Godot developers runs a company which provides console builds for Godot.

People pay with electricity, uncomfortable temperature and fan noise, wasting time working on slow apps.

Apparently, they trade off still worth it, as many electron apps are popular despite these issues. Many times there is electron app or nothing.

You know, it's called estimation. Maybe come up with better number?

Leisure and fun are often unproductive, some people include "unproductive" as part of their definitions.

Alexa rankings might be helpful. Small websites have low rankings
