I made a fairly straight forward webapp with Bun and let Claude check whether it was actually better than Node. Nope, Node consumed less memory and used about the same CPU as Bun. I didn't switch, because it costs tokens, but Node's reputation seem to be based on its legacy more than on today's use.

I don't see why vertical tabs are any better though. I don't want tabs, but one window manager to rule everything.

Desktop shells may be the answer. I use Noctalia with Niri and it's a smooth ride. Were I not a NixOs nerd I'd recommend this setup to any noob.

I did.

The point can be made very quickly yes, but the background and context provided is what made this a good read to me. Sometimes we need to marinate in a topic for it to enter into deeper layers of the brain.

Because it looks cool and DHH makes a lot noises that sounds like you should listen to him.

I do the same. You work your way around the edges and get a genuinely good feel for the workflow while improving on it as you go.

As far as I understand Acadia gives you Acadia <-> Native class data sync, only just Haskell and Elm at the moment unfortunately.

I'd be willing to rewrite queries in some other language that transpiles to SQL if it allows me to do all the queries I want and gives me full compile time type support for db access in return.

The policies look interesting too by the way, but they don't solve a major IMO.

It is not only totally possible to be vegan, but it can be more healthy too. The Acadamy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the largest org for nutritionist and dieticians in the world, have a position paper out saying that a well planned diet is appropriate for all stages of life, including pregnancy. The NHS says the same thing. We even have vegan top athletes nowadays such as Djokovic and Hammilton. You can be vegan, so any justification you bring for violence against animals is for taste pleasure, habbit, culture and just generally not having evolved nor being up to date with the science.

So let each build script define its own level of sandboxing and then users can determine whether they are okay with that level or not, e.g. `cargo build --sandbox-level=...`

Do you never get lonely? How do you deal with it?

What kind of stuff do you do? I mean I wouldn't even know what to do with all this. Can someone clue me in?

Voting with your wallet is like voting with your vote. It both works, but to an extent that will never be noticeable by you. You vote more often with your money than with your vote though. Don't buy into the nirvana fallacy nor be fatalistic. Be a responsible consumer and inform others on why they should vote wisely too.

So Signal then. It's donation based and works fine.

I can't imagine any reasonable engineer thinking webhooks are a solved problem. Imagine how much time and effort those provider must spent to offer high quality webhooks, to then still get customers complaining about missing packets and such. Webhooks are an operational nightmare.
