Yes I think so. Most big tech companies are American and very over-valued compared to what the profits are. The American stock exchange is worth about double that of the European. I think the American stocks and companies will see a downturn in valuation and European and Asian companies will see an increase.

Other sectors that people today find is boring will have an upswing.

Mozilla is a perfect example on how wokeness destroys everything it touches. I would never pay any money to the Mozilla corporation until they really prove themselves not to be the extreme leftist activists they have been since they kicked out Brendan. Worst business mistake I have ever seen.

I vibe coded parts of https://gisformat.com/ backend in Rust in order to learn about Rust. So I think you are wrong there.

I have had a lot of stomach issues, I have done 3 CT scans during my life and I am not even 40 years old. I worry already about the dosage I have gotten.

Though when I asked they said it was like a long flight trip to aroynd the globe. While I don't believe that, I do believe that they are much more effective than they were 10+ years ago. Also I wouldn't have got my stomach surgery without my first one.

My main gripe with this is how do you charge users? They can just put the browser in offline mode and continue to use the app forever.

Also it's very hard to follow up bugs or other errors if users are often offline. I giess you can queue up errors being sent and so on but still. Syncing means that you probably have to have a complicated logic, especially if the data you are seeing can be modified by others. How do you solve merge conflicts?

I really like offline first web apps, but it is way harder and more expensive to build I think. For a startup it means more time before you can deploy your app and where I live there is pretty much fast internet everywhere so it kinda is solving an issue that very few customers will face.

The only issue with that is when you switch to Linux, alternatives to Azure is much more compelling. I would never use Azure services unless I'm on Windows.

I used Ember and it sucked. It was too complicated and the community was elitist and hostile. Then it got extremely woke and political and even shut down the docs which made me lol and really dislike the project and its authors.

I have used caddy for years as a reverse proxy for all my side projects. It is one of my favorite pieces of software.

So easy to setup and performs very well.

That is probably because you live in the states that you think that. The EU is so regulated its hard to do anything nowadays.

So when we have to use main instead of master everyone is fine with it but now it's bad to purge words?

I think this is great news. Well done Trump & co.

I have always looked at Rails with love, but since I mainly build heavy client side SPA apps behind a login it has never been a good choice for me.

I use Nextcloud to backup images or potentially other files. Other than that, there is nothing important to backup.

Oh man. You can write tests after the fact. I have done it sucessfully many times. I write something to see if its viable, if it is I find the repetitive parts and break them up to functions or components in which you can unit test. Later you can also write end to end tests for all the important flows.

TDD is just a way of doing things but it's not faster. It's testing for testings sake. Why should I write a test if I don't have a single paying customer yet? Unless its something massively important, like money or health data there is just little incentives.

That's easy to solve. Just make the copy while you are still alive, make it so that you can control both brains ans bodies. That way you should be able to shut down the old body and keep on living?
