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.

Meta - anyone else not seeing a scrollbar on the blog? Chrome on OSX.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

Here are mine:

blog: https://www.davidwparker.com/

portfolio: https://www.codenameparker.com/

app for my Youtube videos: https://www.programmingtil.com/

fun podcast site: https://www.listenaddict.com/

All are made with Svelte (SvelteKit for the first three and Sapper for ListenAddict). Rails API backend. PostgreSQL.

I like it. It's easier to read across short lines quickly versus too long. That being said, you could probably get away with a little bit longer.

Fitness:

- Trampoline wall

- Aerial Straps

- Handbalance / Handstands

- Calisthenics

- Breakdancing (though not as much since Covid)

Reading way too many books

Creativity:

- Making chocolate truffles

- Making ice cream

- Slowly introducing myself to Kintsugi

- Watercolor

I also like to work on side projects and I wanted to get into Pixel art and making music, but I agree with OP about it being hard to sit in front of the computer after being in front all day for work.

They also said they've reimbursed all funds. So if you were hacked personally, you would be out money here, vs keeping it on their exchange where you would be made whole again.
