I recommend Minus33. Seriously high quality stuff (especially socks) that are made in New Hampshire, USA. They don’t offer Darn Tough’s warranty but the socks cost half as much when I last checked.

Disclaimer: I know the family that runs the business. I also know they actually take care of their employees.

That would be great. I frequently have to click the link and navigate to a home page for a meaningful description. Here’s the opening statement from Koto’s README on GitHub.

Koto is a simple and expressive programming language, usable as an extension language for Rust applications, or as a standalone scripting language.

This is the first thing I need to read to understand if I should or should not care about the project and its new release.

There’s cryptpad though I don’t have a clue how complicated it is to manage. But it’s a decent user experience.

This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.

Thanks for the links. I read the article on my phone using reader mode. Apparently it was hiding some of the embedded links. Which is annoying because I really like reader mode 🙂

I just skimmed through the article about misuse of tax funds. It’s a big improvement on providing detailed information. Some of it sure seems shady without digging. Music videos promoting herself that are funded by taxes? Yikes!

But I’m still a bit annoyed or something that they don’t explain what the Las Vegas trip was for. Honestly, a few thousand dollars for a business trip could be pretty normal IMO. It really depends on the details. Was she gambling, drinking, etc with tax money? Or did she fly in, spend a few nights, and work the whole time?

Anyways, thanks again for giving me a little more context

Sidebery provides this functionality as well. Don’t get me wrong. If you like TST and STG, then enjoy!

This is excellent. I may copy the rough format for tracking things internally at my company!

Btw, I agree with most of your decisions in here with just a few exceptions.

  • kustomize > helm
  • Argo > flux

My last thought is less clear though. There are good observability solutions besides datadog. Grafana Cloud is great. Honeycomb has a similar offering. But all are pretty expensive though.

If you aren’t using OpenTelemetry, you’re probably doing observability wrong!

Fair enough regarding sass, though I disagree with the opinion.

But I’m asking about builders of partial software. For example, consider a single developer that builds a really great library for handling tables. It displays a grid, displays text in cells, maybe performs some operations between cells, etc. On its own, this software is useless but is very useful for other people to build other products. Should it be illegal to sell this software?

I actually have to agree that the price is too high. Yes, Notesnook is competitive. But they're all way too expensive for my taste. I'm really not happy with any of the solutions I've seen recently.

For comparison, I pay for bitwarden. It costs me $10 per year. That's a price point that I'm more willing to consider.

A few thoughts.

Actually. I don't think I would want it presented as a probability from a usability perspective. If everything has to add up to 100, then increasing one means lowering all the others and vise versa. Similarly, those numbers will all change when I (un)subscribe to a community. This sounds extra confusing for users. Want to see half as much? Divide by 2. Let the computers do the math and turn it into probabilities.

Agreed that it might be an over engineered solution. But I think it would make a very good experience for users. And if a user doesn't want to bother with it, they can easily ignore the feature.

While I do think better sorting algorithms are good to explore, I see that as a separate initiative. Yes, weighted subscriptions and better sorting algorithms can address the same problems but they can also be implemented separately. And they can work together to improve the user experience.

My big concern is performance. These are all assumptions but here are my expectations: Giving every user a distinct sort will send memory usage crazy high. Thus, you have to apply the weights dynamically when a client gets data. Can it be done fast enough to not slow down those calls? How much extra cpu will this cost?

Apparently I need to try that. Looks tasty!

Is that syrup? What kind of syrup do they use in Japan?
