The bold and highlighting all over the place is really annoying. I get why it’s formatted that way but it’s a bit too much information and I find it hard to focus.

What is the motivation behind posting such things? I understand if there is a bug bounty program, does cURL have one?
So you can put this on your resume:

and, they can remove things arbitrarily, even things you paid for.
keep backups for anything you value.

I'm considering this idea currently because ATM all the Pink Floyd albums on streaming platforms have names describing the image instead of the original artwork (I assume for the WYWH anniversary.) What it reminded me was that we don't own anything they host so I look forward to exploring this as well.
This is cool but what I really want is another iPhone Mini. I got tiny hands, phones are way too big for me.
The thing you have to understand is that the average Brit wants and possibly needs the government to tell them how to live their lives. It's a completely foreign paradigm to the average American, though alarming "progress" has been made on the American front as of late.
Average Brit here - we do not like this and the way politics here has been so tumultuous has shown the general public are sick of this behaviour too.

I'm sure there are those who self-diagnose without really suffering from a condition, but you do realise time blindness is a real issue, right?

I don't watch TikTok videos, I don't use Instagram, but I have been plagued by these symptoms my entire life, and don't really care about others opinions on it. You probably don't have it if those symptoms don't resonate with you, but there are plenty of people who genuinely struggle, and there's likely some overlap with those who have undiagnosed ADHD.
Use a timer like the rest of us. There are solutions to the problem
A plug and play user management system based on OpenFGA that allows you to manage user permissions and roles locally.
I built it to help save time for folks building internal enterprise apps

> Perhaps you’re a user of LLMs. I get it, they’re neat tools. They’re useful for certain kinds of learning. But I might suggest resisting the temptation to use them for projects like this. Knowledge is not supposed to be fed to you on a plate
Am I the only one using LLMs as if they were a search engine? So before LLMs I was searching on Google things like "pros cons mysql mongodb". I would read the official documentation of each db, forums, blog posts, stackoverflow entries, etc. It was time consuming on the searching side. The time it took to read all the sources was fine for me (it's learning time, so that's always welcomed). Now with LLMs, I simply prompt the same with a little bit more of context "pros and cons of using mysql vs mongodb when storing photos. Link references". So, I get a quick overview of what to keep an eye on, and the references are there to avoid relying on hallucination.
It's true that sometimes I go ahead and say "give me a data schema for storing photos metadata in postgres. I wanna keep X in a different table, though" (or something like that). But I do that because I know very well what the output should look like (I just don't wanna spend time typing it, and sometimes I forget the actual type that I should use (int vs integer?)).
Nope, I do this too (most of the time.) I don’t like working on code I don’t understand. I have started to ask it to use a client API I’ve written to figure out how clients would work with the stuff I write though. It’s great.

Writing (and especially posting it) needs to be promoted more. I run a small community and I tell them time and time again, writing is not to attract fame, it is to get better at what you do - and having a log of it.
I think as you grow, in career, or in general, folks who get writing always do better than who don't give all things equal.
Keep posting!
I love this. I don’t write but I think this advice applies to anything creative. Can’t get better if you don’t do it!
