I've changed from WordPress to Vue to React but can still use my login e2e test as I depend on a DOM element ID. Eg: #username_field, #password_field, #submit_btn.

I've definitely experienced this trap first hand, transforming a web app from a monolith to a distributed app with a ton of bells and whistles. I think having some years of experience under your belt transforms you from longing for complexity to striving for clean and simple solutions. Especially if you're also responsible for moving the project forward in the long run.

The question should be, how to not see a satellite. Even looking up for 3 minutes I can see at least one satellite flying over on a clear night. For context, this is rural, south-west France (Lot-et-Garonne) with little to no light pollution.

Since yesterday, Instagram is able to circumvent ad blockers probably by no longer using a different domain for ad "posts". I had to write a (tampermonkey) script to filter out the many ads between posts.

Binance has a more thorough KYC process than any financial institute / bank I've ever head to deal with . To the point that I've had to submit documents about proof of income. It feels Reuters has a bone to pick as there is no exchange bootlicking regulators like Binance.

Have been using TSX for email templates for quite some time now. Works really well with just ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup() and juice to inline css.

It will not easily disappear, but there is a clear negative sentiment around crypto, even more with the current heat waves and energy crisis. I don't think it looks good on the balance sheet of institutions, and institutional buy-in was a major driver of the recent crypto bull run.

I bought some last week with the mobile Revolut app. It was dead easy. The 2.5% fee is a bit much for my liking though.

As a crypto enthusiast I looked into what it would take to accept ADA payments on my membership site without relying on a payment provider. I was surprised by the quality of the documentation and realized it was quite feasible to implement. I decided against it as the sentiment around crypto (even a proof of stake chain like Cardano) would probably have a negative net result on customer acquisition and retention. It would have been a fun endeavour with a potential poor outcome.

Ubuntu / Linux definitely has come a long way. I used to compile kernels, write X11 config files, now it just works. Timed perfectly with my lack of time / willingness to tinker for hours to get stuff working.

Quite a drastic change of direction it was. I wasn't willing to pay what Google asked for my sites maps usage and went to Mapbox until they stated raising prices. Currently using OSM with osm-static-maps https://github.com/jperelli/osm-static-maps It's still pretty complicated to run your own tile-server, something I would love to do.

Wireless earbuds did not originate from Apple, neither did desktop ARM. First True Wireless Earbuds are probably the Japanese Onkyo W800BT (2015) Windows Surface / Windows RT was the first major ARM based desktop/laptop consumer device (2012)

This is the correct take. True innovation (the uncanny valley stage) is left to pioneers. Apple will spot trends with potential and claim to be the innovator. It would show courage and humility to acknowledge this, but I understand it doesn't fit their PR narrative.

I think it helps if your Hetzner account is at least a couple of months old, with usage. Quite often these things happen to new accounts. Lock your server down and monitor resource and bandwidth usage. You don't want to be banned because someone else is abusing your server. I'm on Hetzner too but will consider moving my hot spare out of Hetzner to a different provider.

I wonder who the "They" are in this story. They remind me of a high yield stock investment product I was suckered into and lost everything on around 2008. Every generation will have to learn "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch".

Will we ever learn ? On a smaller scale, the Tagus-Segura water transfer project [0] in Spain is creating problems not only for Portugal who receives less water in the Tejo river, but also fueling unsustainable agriculture booms which in turn have created ecological disasters [1]

Often these water transfers introduce invasive species.

Interesting project. How does this compare with for instance ccxt ? I think if someone is serious about semi or automated trading, writing your own exchange API integration is something you cannot get around. Every exchange is different and going for the lowest common denominator is going to work against you.

Is anyone running mission critical software on this rather new platform? In my experience every added cloud service becomes another potential weak link in your chain. A distributed DB for your data, a CDN for static assets, a couple of lambda functions for background processing. With every move away from the monolith your surface for potential downtime or "elevated error rates" increases.

Excessive swapping due to ram pressure can wear out an SSD pretty fast.

The real problem is not less rainfall but ever growing expansion of unsustainable agriculture in these regions. For instance in Southern Spain there are countless illegal boreholes and this number is growing every year [0]. Every time I visit this region (yearly) I'm shocked by the expansion of arable land.
