I am also a fan of SQLite. One of the best parts during development is how easy it is to spin up and spin down databases for full integration tests without containers or anything. It also simplifies backups, and is probably good enough.

These days I would recommend PGlite for testing purposes when you use Postgres in production. That way you don't need any specific SGQLite vs Postgres behavior switches.

What time zone are you in? In Australia I rarely have issues with GitHub (one in the last year maybe).

Dang that's the life hack here, just get out of continental USA time zones!

More than writing code the IDE itself makes me anxious. Especially Xcode. Wish they make the IDE interface somewhat simpler by leveraging AI.
herpdyderp · 6 days ago
With sufficient AI integration, we won't even have to worry about the interface anymore! (I very much look forward to that day for Xcode.)

Getting the monthly GitHub outage out of the way early, good work.

Unfortunately that won’t clear up the weekly GitHub outages

The Nintendo DS (lite or XL) is probably the greatest portable gaming system to ever exist.

Over the Steam Deck even?

I tried AirTags once. It beeped non stop on my own possessions. I don’t understand how anyone uses these things.

Wow, this is great!

I want to put some of them in my UIs.

I've often run into these unintentionally messing up my UIs!

I can't be the only person completely unconcerned about this state of affairs. They're ads. This is the most straightforward incentive structure in the world - they are paid to supply ads on behalf of other companies, and we consume those ads and are, in turn, provided with their product. I don't know why it is, but people are incapable of evaluating this exchange objectively - there's something inherently detestable about advertisement to the human mind. This is a perfectly reasonable exchange.

Besides, if it wasn't for ads, I never would've found out about Zyns, and now I can't stop buying them.

Ads feel good when they’re for something we’re actively in need of. But they usually aren’t, and they are also often scammy or scummy. I bet we’d feel a lot different about ads if these things changed.

Why not just burn DVDs with whatever content one wants to fetch and re-encode to SD MPEG2? It's not like kids are super critical about picture quality anyway.
herpdyderp · a month ago
DVDs are significantly more fragile
