I figure because they charge for minutes, I'm not saying that it actually turns a profit. My company also pays for certain "xl" machines.

I'm convinced that they specifically won't do that so that people won't use them to build competing products. Actions is one of the pieces that make GitHub money.

I don't want TypeScript to be a runtime checker

I do.

If the types are internally consistent, then they don't need runtime validation, it'd just be extra code to download and run.

If you accept external data, you may already opt in using something like Zod. I don't see why conflate the two things just because their quacks echo the same.

You'd be surprised by how many rich people there are. Airbnb doesn't need to sell millions of these services to make millions off them. If an "experience" costs $150, that's just as good as a night in their rooms, if not more profitable.

You can't link a web page to the person behind it. Maybe Airbnb is in the right to offer the service in the country, it's just nobody could verify/enforce the ability to rent short term.

Oh absolutely. This makes leaving bad reviews even more important.

- leave unemotional matter-of-fact reviews so they can't complain for slander

- leave them days later so they can't link them to you

- leave them for businesses that provide incentives for 5-star reviews

- leave them when multiple reviews already complain about unethical actions taken by the owner

A 4-star HIG hotel in Bangkok once proposed I leave a good review to fix one of their mistakes. I firmly said I wouldn't and then mentioned the request in my 2-star review. The mistake was assigning "free breakfast" to the wrong room in a 2-room booking. Had to fight 3 days to get it fixed.

I'm sorry, something went wrong with your "what time is it" request.

Oh you asked "what time is it in Miami?" Because I already cut you off after "what time is it".

This happens on a daily basis when I'm not talking right into my phone.

"Easily" is temporary. There's already zero way to capture protected pixels on iOS. Cabled mirroring, screen casting, airplay, they're all blocked. Messaging apps are capitalizing on this with "screenshot protection for temporary media". Netflix has been doing it for ages. Jailbreak? Detected and blocked as "insecure device"

Maybe you can do it on not-iOS, until your insecure setup will be blocked by the server. Cat and mouse until there's 3 mice in the whole world.

moves the brake light up to eye level for people in SUVs

Sad that this would be needed. At that price it's insane to me. OP's article is about democratizing safety and keeping it at a low price, while this over engineered brake light is $160 plus tax. Then a 3350 mAh battery and it lasts only 8-12 hours. Crazy

I say don't believe the hype, unless you just need the basics.

For me Biome replaced Prettier but its linting capabilities are nowhere near the amount of rules available for eslint. They mention having rules from ts-eslint and unicorn; then you check and it's a handful out of hundreds of rules among the two plugins.

So it's fine if you're using a basic eslint config, but you miss out on a lot of powerful linting otherwise.
