Last iPad Mini I bought in 2015 was 32gb for $379CAD, one today 11 years later is $949CAD for 128gb, 2.5x over 10 years, I know there is different tech, inflation and times are different but I always though the mini as the budget option, now with this recent releases Apple is just going for: it's expensive because that's the only way we can keep growing....

This is one of the many cases for LLMs that I ask for the intermediate work, e.g. a script that generates random numbers, instead of asking to do the work itself.

I attempted to scrape a one page grid with 800 items and also ended up asking for the Javascript look with document query selector instead of the result as I was hitting all sort of limits, context, or the LLM would do the wrong capture, print it out and get worse responses on next prompt.

Thank you for your detailed reply! Appreciated it

We are using a service that abstracts redis from us and requires to be treated like a critical dependency, think RDS, Aurora, Postgres, if they are down the whole site is down. Every job push is a call to this service. Upgrading the service = downtime.

For us this is resulted in a big weak point on our architecture because when the service reboots both job pushing and job pulling stops, with the pushing being on the API side bringing the API down. With containers we could have multiple of them running at the same time, but the shared reading/writing of the abstract Redis locks itself.

We are considering BullMQ, because the architecture is sane: * job push: API writes to Redis * job pull: Worker reads from Redis then writes the completion.

How do you see this issue for Bunqueue? What happens when it goes down for 5 minutes, can the jobs be enqueued? Can you run multiple instances of it, failover?

Our throughput (jobs/sec) is small we do have 100k+ scheduled jobs anywhere from minutes to months from now.

It's on the landing page, there is not even a standalone mode yet, so you can't use it with node.js you need to use with Next.js. All to say, it's just early alpha preview, I would wait the project to mature before considering using it anywhere.

How do you do background job processing without Celery? Every app/website I ever developed required some sort of background job processing, for Python I use Celery, Rails I use Sidekiq, Node.js I use Faktory. One of the biggest drawbacks (at least until a while ago) was that setting this up had to be a hacky webhook call to your own app that allowed up to N seconds request/response.

Minor thing with the website but the download button is not entirely clickable, if you don't click on the text you don't get to download it, due to the div > a and the anchor being just the text, consider styling the anchor to have the padding so the whole thing is clickable. :)

What kind of setup did you have that Typeform was costly? We are on the $299/month plan coming from $99/month, and if you run a money making business of Typeform, this cost should be negligible compared to all other costs of running a business.

I love tailwind, used in 3 projects in the past 4 years, it’s intuitive, well documented, simple. I don’t miss the days of emotion and styled components where I would have to think of a name for every styled div in the project, with tailwind a container is just a div and a few classes nothing else. Less bike shedding discussion, less brain cycles spent naming things, less time wasted in reviews.

If you are maximizing income, go work for the company that pays you the most. If you consider other things then it's not that simple: * control on which project you work on * choose your cooworkers * choose your office location * return to office policies * choose process and bureaucracies It's about how many degrees of freedom you want.

It’s expensive and it’s good that other options are available, it’s not insanely expensive though, the people that need the upgrade often make 6 figure salaries and can afford the upgrade although they might not like the idea of paying it, I personally hate it but I know when I buy the machine will last me at least 5 years, which is good enough for me.

I find the cinebench benchmarks meh, every YouTuber and every publisher uses it, few YouTubers do more of a practical test which is quite more useful. I would like to see a comparison with older models as most people that have an m3 are not considering an upgrade.

I've completed Exercism courses and they are great.

One thing that was obvious to me is that if you want to focus on a specific topic the $15/month subscription is too cheap, you can pay, take the course, cancel because you are done with the course, all within the month.

The other thing that is challenging is that the majority of programmer is either too cheap or "too broke", $15 USD is a meaningful amount of money in other countries with weaker currency, and in countries with strong currency I've met people paying thousands for a university diploma, doing a well paid internship that "could not afford exercism". That's though, I hope I never have to build a business for software developers.

All of that shared experience comes from 3-4 years ago, so prices, models might have changed since that, but if they go under it's sad, their UI and their UX was so clean, fun, interactive, pleasant, etc, it was a joy to study using their material.

Kudos on launching it, I will be trying in a few meetings to see if it goes well, so far I am finding the UI unresponsive, I click and it marks an action item as completed (optimistic update) then it reverts back to unchecked (failed). I asked the assistant what Synergy meant and it just hanged. I liked the use of a fake meeting as an introduction to the product and the action items as an onboarding checklist, I like that you launched with a delete my account as well, most startups take a long time before implementing the exit path.
