Just a tangent, interesting that you brought up Blippi. Any issues that you have with Blippi if you don't mind me asking? :D

We have worked with flutter since 2019; having built internal apps for our staff, public apps for our customers, small utility apps etc- this has been our experience as well. Not only flutter has been rock solid, easy and fast to develop, it has a wide array of libraries. Long may it continue.

Sorry, I'm new to Tailscale, but I do setup and use WireGuard. What does Tailscale offers that WireGuard doesn't if I might ask?

Also discord stuff are not searchable publicly. The experience is completely different, it's not even comparable.

I love Ruby, but I always wonder if performance will be an issue if there're many things happening on screen especially on mobile. Does anyone has any experience?

I'm new to this whole thing. Can u point me on how I don't depend 100% on CF, if its DNS is down? Is there such a service? (kinda like load balancing, but with DNS?)

New comment by acmecorps in "New UUID Formats"

acmecorps — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:25:27 +0000

You’re not alone. I’ve been migrating my tables to use uuid instead of integers and have been using uuid whenever I have new tables, unless I have very good reason not to. Experience was my teacher.

+1 for TablePlus! I absolutely love them for the fast editing as well as quick and dirty filters. Beats typing SQL for simple stuff. These quality of life features are really underrated. Absolutely worth the yearly fee!

Interesting. I’m a rails developer, and to me one of the core strength of rails is active record (altho some might disagree). How would you compare it with rails active record, and which part do you say it’s much better?

Btw, I know this is superfluous and very shallow, but for some reason, I can’t get over the C# syntax because of how enterprisey it is. I much prefer ruby, but I guess it’s a matter of preferences and taste

I don't know; I might be old, but for a lot of _websites_, jQuery is absolutely perfect. I love jQuery for its simplicity :)

I might be missing something; is the book free online..? Or, is there content that's paid only?

Congrats on being on the HN homepage! :). I’m wondering tho - does this check if a website that claims to be selling something online is a scam or not?
