In my experience, there has been an interesting ebb and flow on the use of 'dedicated' hardware and auto-scaling power of AWS/cloud instances. When first starting out, super cost-conscious, you're getting ideal performance. As soon as you start experiencing interesting traffic patterns, auto-scaling makes sense. Then, your bill grows to such a point as it makes economical sense to pull back to more powerful dedicated services, then lean a little into auto-scaling, etc. A pendulum of underlying services and people to support it. A balancing act of finding efficiencies during wild growth periods, and reaching some sense of stability.

What's funny is you thinking there is a purity test that should be applied here.

There is both this post about not being able to delete a curl, and other posts about being able to delete curls unauthenticated. Looks like you should be able to issue a DELETE curl request, to delete your curl.

Going down the protocol route here - this would be more like Sony blocking game developers from allowing interoperability between Playstations and Xboxes. Crossplay is most definitely a thing - without requiring Xbox versions of games running on Sony hardware.

It works like this if you're simply using the Apple Workouts app on your watch, instead of the Strava app. If you use the Strava app, it'll upload directly, as well as, write to your Health data. If you use Apple Workouts, it'll detect the workout for Import (if you don't automatically import), and read that from Health.

It’s really a great solution in a long-running job situation, the more I think about it. Especially on your point about setting up infrastructure. Email, in this case, is effectively a webhook handler for their results. Doesn’t require the end user to maintain the endpoint though, and can leverage the existing redelivery attempts, etc. May not be the “coolest” - but leverages decades of accumulated knowledge and reusable solutions.

I’d interpret this as a “pay attention and be ready” rather than something from the phone itself.

That applies to basically any hobby though right? The perceived depth of the hobby is largely dependent on your desire to explore that depth. It can be incredibly deep for some, as evidenced by people designing their own switches - or shallow (for you) by saying Cherry is good enough.

This simply reminds me of the absolute graveyard of Logitech M570s that I’m holding on to for some reason. A couple have worn out switches, others need cleaned. Love the thumb trackball.

.xyz has a public resolver for ETH addresses for browsers so - foo.eth - you could type in foo.eth.xyz and it'll resolve to a placeholder of sorts for information in the .eth profile (pointers to wallets, Twitter handles, NFTs currently held, etc). I think it's interesting in the "online business card" sense - but not too much beyond that.

EDIT: Apologies - as pointed out below - not my intent to align the site with the TLD - I could have worded that better. I think the domain is more likely a product of the ENS team, but I don't know for certain.

For me - it becomes an agenda when they’re collecting the information for no other reason than to collect the information - or - they’re using the field to show how progressive they are. Unless gendering language is somehow critical to the operation of the software - why collect it at all? I have the same feeling about birthdays - I’m automatically assuming it’s because you have “sell customer data” on the 5-year business plan.

Hello fellow Nebraskan! If you’d extend this to Elkhorn my kids (and I) would think you’re a wizard!

They typically move more slowly - have more layers of design by committee than you will. They’ve already built a large ship that requires movement, you’re in a speedboat. Sure, they can crush you, if you move at the same speed and in the same direction - use your agility to move.

Assume good faith.

I think this response assumes snark in the post - since emergency calling has been around and is a feature of the phone - has something notable happened that would bubble this up. I don't believe the intent was to assume this didn’t belong - but a request for more context on why it was being posted / voted up.
