I meant the opposite of what I wrote! I read it wrong

Primary domain name. You pay for the inbox, not the domain.

If you don’t use serverless but instead a few (vertically scaling) servers, and your ORM / query builder supports pooling (all node libraries I’ve used have a pooler)…

Having a setup with just a simple docker deploy, running a monolith, not using pgbouncer so you can use LISTEN/NOTIFY to implement your own job queue:

This gives me warm fuzzy feelings, also making me relatively cloud-agnostic in the process, even though devops is not my strong point.

Most projects I do don’t need something more complex or vendor locked-in than this.

As a 26+ year frontender, years ago I was against it on so many levels. Until I tried it.

Never looked back. Also, inheriting projects with someone else’s code is fine. Just a quick look at the central config and you’re good to go.

Reading this interview and the comments doesn't really spark a lot of confidence in the product (in Dutch): https://tweakers.net/reviews/14562/nextcloud-met-een-strik-e...

I paints the picture of it being mostly a hyped marketing wrapper around Nextcloud that hasn't even launched yet.

My number one bug for years that baffles me as to why Apple hasn’t fixed it: Zooming in on heavy websites or PDFs (with large images or WebGL) force closes the Safari tab. Over and over again.

Text selection peaked with Force Touch, where holding the space button, moving to start point, pressing down even harder to start selection en lifting finger at the end was sooo ergonomic.

So many examples mentioned can be explained by network effect, first mover advantage, or an already saturated market, instead of underestimating the making of a good product.

For the power users: you can swipe up from the bottom URL bar and then swipe from rtl on a thumbnail to close. That’s two actions instead of three.

You can also swipe right or left on the URL bar to switch tabs.

Alternatively hold the URL bar and press close.

I’m using a 12 mini and I’m running into so many typos since the new iOS. Maybe the combination of buggy software with their smallest screen is making it even worse.

What I always wonder is which people use SQLite to run tests for a Postgres application. Isn’t the difference in dialect pretty much always an issue unless you do only the most basic type of queries? pglite fills a hole where imho currently only dockerized Postgres sits

I saw visible pink bands from my balcony in Amsterdam, showing bright pink fading to green when looking through my iPhone. And yes, lots of light pollution here. Shows how crazy strong this northern light was.
