Bun simplified the pain with the ecosystem switch to esm. deno, at the time, made it worse by doing stuff with url based packages that didn’t fully catch on

I don't think bun worked well before the acquisition. Don't get me wrong, i used it all the time for little scripts, but i would never ship a service at work on bun. Between memory issues and incompatibilities that never get fixed, it is a nice toy to me that did a great job of exposing room for improvement in nodejs.

For example, i'd been following this issue https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/14102 and eventually all the libraries shipped "if bun do x" into them, which is the opposite of compatibility.

I guess if they're big enough they should be working on moving off of amazon SES for emails and warming up ip addresses? Otherwise they need to keep a markup on top of amazon.

Edit: didn't realize people were paying resend $20. AWS already exists at a low price and people pick them anyway, i'm sure they're fine.

Dumb question but why are chemical weapons always addressed as a risk with llms? Is the idea that they contain how to make chemical weapons or that they would guide someone on how?

Would there not already be websites that contain that information? How is an llm different, i guess, from some sort of anarchist cookbook thing.

I've found the memory limits to block more of my projects than cpu time. They seem to send multiple requests to a single node/process and if you're making some sort of remix app it easily breaks with any kind of load.

The other thing i've noticed about burritos is that more places take card or apple pay now. When I moved to sf in 2015 many of them were cash only, same with bars. I always assumed some amount of cash was being shuffled under the table.

run your backend tests against this in memory and tests can be run in parallel instead of using a single real postgres instance

Our HoA uses google groups. Mild spam, but overall pretty good for threads. Too many people spam everyone asking for a plumber or whatever

What are you doing that requires checking in the compiled version. Esbuild takes like one second

That's a good point, I would lose package provenance that way. I guess that is fine since it didn't prevent anything here.

I can look into that.

Yes, exactly.

That's fair, I'm referring to the number of mistakes that happen with local publishing. Publishing the wrong branch, not building from latest etc

Sorry if that wasn't clear. This was a token with global publish rights to my npm packages.

there's existing libraries in this space that are quite good. not sure why you would use this instead.

storage for example:

https://github.com/unjs/unstorage vs byojs storage https://github.com/byojs/storage

most users are going to prefer autocomplete and types regardless of if they also use typescript.

esbuild can bundle typescript files directly, you don't need tsc to strip types

edit: nevermind i get what you're saying. check types with tsc and dev work with esbuild
