You should probably update your comment to at least let people know this is a one-time lifetime cost. Not a subscription.

Which is priced similar to Tailwind UI, which people are fine paying for.

Cute game. A lot more forgiving than Marble Madness though.

Needs a good enemy marble to come crack you and hammers too.

My https://simonwillison.net/ blog has been running since 2002 and has 3015 long-form posts, 6718 bookmark posts and 770 quotations.

Plus tag pages, archive-by-date-pages, series pages and more.

I don't particularly want to have to wait for all of that to build!

It also offers faceted search against all of that, powered by PostgreSQL: https://simonwillison.net/search/?q=static%20site%20generato...

Incremental builds exist, so you'd really only have to build once: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data...

That said, personally, I love PG and enjoy using a DB. But I can see pro's to both sides.

Pretty inconsistent, but like Svelte, Rails, general tech, general business talk, books, etc.

Did anyone else find it telling that "Engage with support groups or therapist" was the activity with the lowest engagement? Anecdotally this makes sense to me; the people I'm close with who struggle the most with finding day-to-day happiness are usually the ones who spend the most time in therapy. Not that the relationship is causal, of course, it's more just interesting to observe that lots of therapy doesn't seem necessary to maintain a positive baseline.
davidwparker · 3 years ago
It really makes sense though. I don't think it's because they don't go to therapy though. Look at the five levels they provide:

* Every day * 5–6 times per week * 3–4 times per week * 1–2 times per week * Less than weekly

Most people I know who go to therapy go once or twice a month. Very few go weekly, and I don't know anyone who goes 3+ times a week.

Better in what way? I tried 10 prompts that returned good results in DALLE, but nothing good in stable diffusion.
davidwparker · 3 years ago
Seconded. I got awesome results in making "artwork in the style of Yoshitaka Amano" in DALLE but horrible ones in Stable Diffusion. Maybe the prompt was incorrect there (it would be great if these were more discoverable), but they art in SD was lacking.

> I really like the direction [1Password] is heading

I thought customers were complainingly loudly against their new direction of making 1Password an Electron app. Is that not the case?

Note: I'm not a 1Password customer.

davidwparker · 4 years ago
Maybe technical customers who knew it were Electron. I knew, and don't really care. My wife doesn't even know what Electron is- everything is just another app to her.

Looking forward to checking some of these frameworks out.

Question- Curious to know what backends / languages would be the fastest for a REST-based PostgreSQL backed API?
