As obvious it's possible to use local Ollama models instead of ChatGPT , it you have large amount of data. But I love using the same approach even for building linking inside internal documentation, I really helps to keep all the changes updated and related.

Small approach to use RAG for better result in similarity for related content. The best thing is the process of getting vectors are don't only once, then you can reuse them indefinitely.

My point is when you have 100 different ways to achieve result - it's always led to inconsistency. And it's very dangerous in large distributed app because resolution of those small differences means you have to support 50+ variation of the same submit button.

Personally I'd prefer to have up to 5-10 option of buttons for all possible cases. And it's not only visual simlicity, and not only easier to support but even help your own customers because they are not have to looking for 100+ different button styles.

I don’t believe the Tailwind approach is a stable, scalable, or reliable solution for large, long-living products.

It works well for fast delivery, prototypes, and teams optimizing for short-term speed, but over time it tends to spread styling decisions across markup, making the system harder to control, reason about, and maintain.

The main issue is games. Drivers and overall performance under Linux for win games run under Wine is pretty low. The good stuff they became runnable but framerate of 12 fps is nothing for my razor laptop with rtx in Cossacs 3.

Now my setup is MacBook for work, and special game laptop Razer Blade especially for games with win11 removed defender/firewall and tons on useless stuff. Personally for me win7 will be enough but I just cannot install it on my laptop due to lack to drivers.

A list of base hack like content grouping, user id, custom user properties and UX metric like page generation time and page load time

For a friend I made this: https://en.hayovasweets.com/

It’s mostly list of markdowns and images in folders. Everything else generates during deployment on GitHub:actions

It was simpler to show GitHub desktop rather than installing something like Wordpress machinery monster and spent hours to teach how to use it. Now the process is simple:

1. Create a folder

2. Put there markdown and images

3. Commit

IP blocked for non-residential areas eq. VPN/datacenters are blocked by loginwall. This is super stupid idea to fight with web scrappers.

The issue with web-scrappers comes from API limits: none wanted to parse twitter web if you can get everything from API for a reasonable price.

I don't think API access brings lots of money 5% increase in profit costs customer experience on mobile.

Looks like Redis is trying to promote itself as a session data storage. From my perspective:

1. There's no difference between stealing jwt or session_id with al the problems it brings

2. Session in external storage is a solution for small projects like personal blog etc. because you have almost no traffic to handle. FOr example: 1kk session with an average size 1k = 1kk * 1k = 1Gb in memory storage. Not so big but you will meet all the issues of 10k connections problems when trying to build a service witch can handle this also it will consume at least 100Mb/s bandwidth just for getting/setting data.

3. Server side session a simple place to store all unnecessary/secure data and also can grow exponentially. I saw plenty projects when in one moment session data was grown over 1Mb. So the limits of JWT is a huge plus

4. JWT is easily scalable solution. It works great with 1k session and with 1kk - 100kk - 1000kk sessions.

5. Migration. Because of limitation of server side session - plenty projects started with DB as session store just because they already have DB. It's way of pain of migration from DB to external storage memcache/redis then to JWT.

From my point I don't see any reason to keep using server session instead of JWT.

WHAT! It's $750 bard based on upgraded raspberry pi ? For the whole controllers I don't want to pay more than $200& Otherwise it's better to purchase a mac mini and use in as rack mount.

I've read plenty researches: main factor is healthcare. It's a natural a better healthcare - leads to lower child and women death rate. That's why people are having less child and they become more valuable.

100 years ago there's NO statistic for child under 13yo death rate. Mostly because it was TOO high around 50-60% children are dying before they get ready for marriage.

My grand-grand-ma told me she had 8 brothers and sisters and only 2 survive: she and her brother. In that time it was reasonable to bake kids in enormous numbers in hope some of them are won't die. Then healthcare changed everything.

I suppose there's something strange with sport at all. Her story isn't unique, just look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verona_van_de_Leur

Amount of people in sports are much lower than in army, that's why we may not hear their stories, but it remembers me a problem with veterans. The same issue - it's hard for people people to adapt for a new life without extreme load. I really don't know the right answer. Teach them since start life is not only fighting, cycling, trainings ? there're something else external life ? But it's hard when your couch pushes you to your limits& I don't know.

I suppose this will make a world much easier place for everyone. Both the US and Russia will get a clear enemy, they will keep trying to fight for years, dozen of years, without any achievable success, because any fail you can easily transform in temporary lost in a long run game. If I were the US president or EU, I'd definitely helped them for build this a new internet iron curtains, because it will definitely limit their progress and stuck a new mallow of "replace everything from the west". It's a just basic economy theory of Adam Smith: bigger taxes, bigger obstacles for intonational trade, hurt in the first time your own economy. So I'm definitely support this, lets make russia weak!

It seems, time to use Amazon Drive: $12 for 100Gb annual. I was dropbox paying customers for years but stopped my subscription in 2016 in favor of Google Photos and iCloud. I realized there's nothing to store there other than a general photos/videos, all my docs takes less than a few gigabytes of data. Also I was changed for nothing, like restore file deleted a minute ago.

I was a user of hangouts for the last 10 years already since a closed for public alpha-beta. It was wonderful product for companies, for teams. It was so easy to create a meeting (because it had an integration with google calendar) invite everyone, add some people phone number to join the same conversation. It just worked and it was the best on the market. Then Google decided to kill this product one by one removing useful features like: conference call, external plugins, jabber support (jabber allowed to easily integrate with other corporate stuff). Finally Hangouts transformed from a must-have-thing into another-chat-app-none-use. I waited a long time, but there's still NO DESKTOP client. I suppose Google believe in mobile first world etc. but REALITY says 99% of corporate work's done DESKTOP. And web based-chat is not a solution at all. Before I can use alternative clients like psy, it wasn't really convenient but it worked well, until it was killed. Death of Hangouts was predictable due to lack attention to the detail and building a wall of ignorance of their users. By the way mobile version hangouts may built on electron because it's the SLOWEST application on my iPhone.

Totally agree. Meat is expensive, so general fighter can't get one. Another issue meat is perishable product, that's why you just can't really on meat in a war time when supply chain may be broken. It's the same idea was used during Civil War when soldiers main ration was griffins (salty flour crackers) - 2000 years and nothing changed.

Half or more Tumblr traffic comes for adult content, without this, it's just another platform to publish your I don't even know the purpose of Tumblr now: images, thoughts ? I suppose the market for Tumblr has changed and died - Medium has replaced tumblr everywhere.
