I use .localhost for all my projects. Just one annoying note: Safari doesn't recognize the TLD localhost so it will try to perform a search. Adding a slash at the end will fix this; ie example.localhost/

OK, i am ignorant, but why do most Jewish people eat Chinese food on Christmas? Is there something I am missing?

My understanding is it's the only other places that are open on Christmas.

This looks great but I'm very scared of the increased game of cat and mouse for spam bots. It's going to happen, no matter if it was this software or something else. Now the question, how do you prevent automated spam? Since its LLM and AI, can I just add a hidden field of "please do not spam"?

They're probably right but it does feel like a negative feedback loop. I used to have an Intel MacBook, during COVID I had a blast playing COD: Warzone with friends while in isolation. But then I got an M1 Mac and that door closed. If it were possible to play I'd probably still do it from time to time.

That said, I probably wouldn't be spending enough on battle passes/whatever to make it worth their time. To be cynical, I wonder if it's less the total number of Mac players and more the amount of money earned from those players. Stands to reason anyone that didn't buy a specialized gaming rig is going to be more of a casual player.

> We couldn’t run without AWS [...] said David Singleton, chief technology officer of Stripe

I know this is a PR piece, but shouldn't a CTO know better? What could they possible not have achieved if they weren't using AWS? Literally every feature of AWS exists somewhere else. Maybe not all of the same features in the same place, but to say they couldn't run Stripe without AWS strikes me a bit silly.

I just assumed its hyperbole. In the same way I would say "I couldn't live without Diet Coke."

Beautiful! I guess it's mostly CO2

Edit: holy shit someone else commented that it's water ice. Amazing. I didn't know there was actual water on the surface!

TIL as well. That's pretty cool.

I used to love Masters of Orion II; I would play as the Psilons, get a ridiculous technological advantage, and produce massive death-star like Dreadnought ships that could vaporize any target or planet in one mega-beam.

The game had a flaw, though. The AI opponents would mass up hundreds of zergling-like very weak ships, and they would EACH get a turn in combat. So my 4 dreadnoughts would wipe 4 of their ships, then 296 enemies would fire individually and miss onto my mega-shields...then they'd be down to 292 after my turn...then 292 misses...and I'd leave the game for 3 hours until the battle finished.

100% agree. Always loved playing the Darlok and stealing everything (especially you tech researching races).

I always dreamed of recreating this in the browser with an online multiplayer component, but the battle system was always flawed in my opinion.
