Legal requirement seems a fairly high bar (our whole enjoyment of podcasts is that anyone can set one up, no?). But agreed, I *always* default to transcript reading if possible.

Some of this is that I don’t have a daily commute to fill, but I’m there for new ideas, not to listen to a convo 😉

What is it you abhor? That’s a strong word …

“Now this here is some pretty *nifty* code …”

@nullvoxpopuli.com / @mansona.bsky.social think an attack like this is of concern in our community?

What are your top priorities when choosing a framework to use for a new project.

You're allowed to say "I use what I usually use". Just curious what plays into people's choices.

Yeah, many of the big changes in Saudi Arabia are driven by the near-term population bubble that is going to hit in the next 5-10 yrs. Good government works to stay ahead of its population’s needs, but it can lead to major impacts on a lot of things …

The ongoing ability to delete code that has been upstreamed to the platform is a huge benefit to SPAs, interesting to read Chris’ thoughts on Tom Dale’s comments from 7 years ago

How about this? 😉 bsky.app/profile/mits...

Most of the code you write I quite like reading by, but I do start wondering about your life choices right now …

😆 might be good to prepare yourself for disappointment, yes 😉

Checks … can’t find prices on main page (that can’t be a good sign … it was not a good sign). We like you Chris but that’s pretty steep 😉

If only there were a setting for QuickBooks Online … ugh, the upselling push for new services is bad, about to explore migrating to something else to get away from it

As we continue to see license changes ripple through the OSS ecosystem I’d expect this type of hard-to-navigate conversation to continue …

Compression Rules | Cloudflare Rules docs Use Compression Rules to customize the compression applied to responses from Cloudflare's global network to your website visitors, based on the file extension and content type. Compression Rules are p...

Hmm, my read of developers.cloudflare.com/rules/compre... was that you could have Brotli all the time, you seeing something different?

Main issue I’m seeing is it seems to target the “compress dynamic content” use case more than prebuilt static assets as it’s seemingly Level 4 compression

Cloudflare does support Brotli (they used to have a legacy flag that worked and recently sent o have moved that to a different system and regressed - ie if you had that flag on, it wasn’t enabled in the new system). Was cleaning that up last week on a site where Brotli *had* been on

OCR Software, Data Extraction Tool - Amazon Textract - AWS Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically extract text, handwriting, and data from scanned PDF documents, forms, and tables.

I was looking at aws.amazon.com/textract/ for a client about 12-18 months ago, not sure if that’d be of use for some of your items? If formats change regularly it might not be worth it but if formats stay relatively stable it was useful

Yeah, construction uses what is widely available and cheap in a given location. In the US, wood is cheap and so 2x4 construction became quite prevalent. In Saudi, there’s lots of raw ingredients for concrete (sand anyone? 😉), so things shift that way. But concrete is a very poor signal conductor …

So yes, I fully agree with Ethernet is best, only wish I could. My office is less than 30 feet from our primary AP and I had to get an extra powerful device in order to have good enough signal with reliable latency. Turns out US construction methods really impact our undergird tech options/ opinions

I've got fiber backhaul (Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in fiber-to-the-premise, it's *awesome*) but in-house it's wireless all the way. Why? Two words: concrete construction. All houses / apartments are built with concrete and cable runs that make it easy to rewire are non-existent ...

I figured you probably had 😉 and yes, revenue sources are indeed a complication, one day … Amazing to think about the possibility of solving those types of itches in heaven if we want to …

@chriskrycho.com well put here. Seems like we all have a desire to share quite a bit of what we’re thinking with the world, but awfully hard to have good conversations about it in mini-text-snippet form …

If you rebuilt the GUI for Zed to be proper Mac and submitted a PR do you think they’d accept it? 😉 But yes, I hear you, pure Mac apps are a joy to use (Panic ones have been amazing over the last - checks calendar, gulps - 15+ yrs). But Mac-first UIs rarely go past the Mac. I want pairing w/ others

Are you on web? Or in the app? App seems to work fairly well for me. “but why would you care about what else was happening on your feed? 😜”

There was a blog post I read a few months back that talked about how speed was a key feature and they intended to keep it. And how with Rust they envisioned things like a performance budget for extensions so they could keep things fast. And I was thinking “yes, this, so much this …”

Content with our choices are we? 😉

State of JavaScript 2024 Take the State of JavaScript survey

This year's State of JavaScript 2024 survey is now open! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

I want to see my @emberjs.com peeps represent and remember to write in your favourite framework 😉🐹

The pairing aspects of Zed look pretty nifty, they’ve put a lot of thought into that and speed. I’m a fan …

It is entirely possible that Bluesky becomes a self-congratulatory left-leaning bubble with a narrow censorious orthodoxy. That would be a pity.

What I'm hoping for is a place with a healthier shared ethos, rather than merely a partisan mirror image to Elon's version of Twitter.
