Common mistake in English, usually the writer means "should've".

I used to be CTO of an Uber Eats style service that ran on hosting costs of about £100pm. Thousands of orders every few days, real time driver tracking, self hosted invoice generation, the works. Hetzner servers, Docker Swarm and Cloudflare for the tech.

Absolutely. I live in Glasgow and it is a perfect environment for walkability, culture, music and great food. Wouldn't live somewhere rural/suburban if you paid me

VSCode was essentially unusable for me on large projects. We're talking thousands of source files and god knows how many node_modules entries. Things like Go to Definition would regularly take 15+ seconds! Switched to WebStorm recently and have been very happy with the performance.

I have always used class-validator for this. The custom validation stuff always comes up in backend dev eventually so starting with it has always been the right call for me. This includes small toy projects and entire SaaS backends.

Too right. Glasgow is cracking down on new AirBnBs but not hard enough in my opinion. A city is for the people that live and work there, primarily. Tourism should be supported, but in almost no case should it take priority over making the city itself better for the people that have made it their home.

Doubtless these effects were felt by children through increased hardship at home, but having witnessed first hand the vice grip that negative social media interactions had on the friends I had during high school (starting 2011) and the complete lack of awareness the social circles I ran in had of the wider economic situation, I'm more inclined to believe that the shock therapy exposure to social media and smartphones had a large part to play.

I, for one, was pretty adversely affected by what I saw and was subjected to on social media as a young teenager. It gave me and most other kids I knew additional stress outside of the in-person problems that would arise at school.

St Andrews, where I went to university, suffers from the same issue. When rich tourists can spend hundreds of pounds a night to stay in AirBnBs at the "home of golf", the broke students get forced into paying £2000pcm for a dilapidated council house.

Well, they have all of the outputs of ChatGPT stored on their own servers. I suppose it wouldn't be out of the question to filter any future datasets they scrape against the outputs they have.

Well it's similar to how a local email server differs from using Gmail. You run the local server and deploy it on any hardware / cloud stack you like!

absolutely. The Gym of Life is a great video on YouTube talking about this exact thing. Being in a walkable/bikeable location makes you accidentally kinda fit.

employees are able to collectively bargain at any time for better compensation though, that's the point of a union
