I've been playing this for 10+ years :) it's one awesome game and the details for sprites and art direction is sweet.

This pretty much, and it's also more expensive.

What pity headers?

Even if it is, or isn't ai, the content is in fact correct.

There is no 'one' state of your application, unless you literally do maintenance window deploys and 0 queues and keep everything sync.

I feel that people forget that even amateur (Imho) level apps like dance ejay etc exist for 20+ years.

Imho electronic music creation is for a long time not a hard solution, the problem is making something to sound good :) (and good is ofc based on everyone's taste)

I mean, it's a pain at times to keep elastic in sync with the main db, but saying elastic is just an algorithm for text search feels odd.

What? Tables are responsive, they auto adjust widths or columns, you can control which are fixed width and which are fluid.

But he was a footballer, some managers in it are like Alex Ferguson was baking goods, not knowing football

New comment by coolgoose in "Start your meetings at 5 minutes past"

coolgoose — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 11:33:47 +0000

My 2 cents, just make the damn meetings 20 minutes or 50 minutes, and start at sharp. I absolutely hate the 5 minutes past, as I am ALWAYS late on them, or 5 minutes early.

Fixed time makes it so much easier to reason than random stuff.

You are comparing apples to oranges, and go is pretty strong typed

I don't get why people don't just use vue... with no build step, just including it.

I am so confused about this message

Sounds like an sqllite performance tuning issue than anything else.

I am by no means an Ai fanboy, but not using translation tools feels odd?

This and the lack of proper a hrefs is the biggest pet peeve of mine with a lot of spa's

I personally still don't understand how actual online services (like storage) can work with one-off licenses.

I am still happy with northflank. A bit more infra provider independence is nice to have. (we are actually moving from gcp to aws )

I am really trying to understand how the web would work with 0 ads.

I hate all the invasive pop-up crap ads with a passion, but this 0 ads just gets to a lot of gatekeeping, putting things under subscriptions etc.
