Totally agree! I'm still on the Pixel 4a, starting to look at an upgrade but I don't think there is one. Luckily I don't demand too much from my phone, but making better pictures would be nice.

Try this app I made for fun a while back: https://www.tuneful.app

It uses Spotify under the hood, similar to how the radio used to work.

I wanted to post the same thing. Demo with static data would be fine to browse around in but I don't create an account unless I plan to use it.

The author says he wants to switch Disqus to Commento but I wouldn't just do that. I didn't have a great experience with Commento. I like the idea and mostly the execution of it (including the OAuth) but I found some major bugs (Firefox just didn't work at the time) and I didn't get any response to reporting those. I asked a few more questions by mail and also no response. After that I'm gone pretty quick.

Not that I'm saying you should use Disqus since they have some privacy issues

Hi guys,

This is a side project I made for fun. It's basically "Tinder for music". It works by selecting a playlist to establish a baseline for the type of music you're interested in. As you swipe, it shows you more music based on what you've liked so far.

It uses the Spotify API under the hood for track recommendations.

Let me know what you think!

You can self host Bitwarden or use the cloud version

There is some horrible javascript that calculates what the font size should be based on the height of the browser. A large screen gets a huge font and if you zoom out then the resize event triggers which keeps the font the same size.

Might be one of the worst things I've seen on the web so far

christilut — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 13:17:21 +0000

When was your experience with Mongo? I'm wondering because I use Mongo now with transactions (supported since version 4) and I like to know about problems I might face in the future.

I'd hate to go all political but it seems pretty obvious lately: go out and vote

Don't vote Republican. In the EU it's much less of an issue thankfully but still, vote for the right party and not the popular or nationalistic party.

Another brick in the walled garden of the Facebook internet of the future.

Now even kids below the age of 13 will have a Facebook account, setup by their parents who are already on Facebook anyway and enticed by exactly what they want to hear ("More Fun For Kids, More Control For Parents") thanks to the marketing team.

Your first 3 points are big deals but not unique anymore. The Vue webpack template comes with all that. Code splitting couldn't be easier, async/await out of the box and it stays backwards compatible up to IE9.

I'm sure React webpack templates have the same features but I don't have experience there.

Yea the "incorrect login" is a generic message now. The title isn't correct, I'll change it.

The blueprints section will get a graphical editor soon, very high on the priority list.

So if you invite users with the Editor role, they will edit content in the same interface but things like Blueprints are hidden for them. Target audience right now is developers but the future plan is to make it so that you start using Headless without any technical knowledge.

New comment by christilut in "Introducing Exclusive Features to GitLab.com Bronze, Silver and Gold Plans"

christilut — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 21:23:03 +0000

I've been using Gitlab free for all my personal projects and mostly I'm totally okay with this change. I was afraid of being forced to pay for some basic functionality in a year but honestly most bronze/silver features are for slightly bigger projects than personal.

Just one small thing: pretty much the only 2 features I use from the Bronze plan are Issue Weight (I can live without them) and Milestones. I would like to see Milestones in the Free plan because for me it is just a convenience to create more structure in my issues. I wouldn't pay for just that feature and the alternative is more labels which would have the same result but more messy.
