Hallstatt means salt stead - a place where you find salt.

Stadt (town) was derived from Statt - here's a good explanation of that: https://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/sprachratgeber/Stadt-Statt...

There are some 900% raises in pricing for GitHub Copilot premium requests for the annual plans that won't get converted to token-based usage.

This shows a new open source VSCode extension called Stagewise that allows changing UIs directly in the app by selecting an element and adding a prompt: https://stagewise.io/

I've tried it with one of my apps and it works quite well.

I guess there are currently three decent alternatives: - Astro - React Router 7 (former Remix) - Tanstack Start

Astro has more focus on content based sites whereas the other two may also be used for web apps.

I guess Tanstack Start is also a very good alternative to check out https://tanstack.com/start/latest

Most heat pumps fall back to electric heating when it's too cold. So, on these few days you will need the same amount of electricity a typical electric heating will need.

derkoe — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:27:02 +0000

Just tried it and it's really fast. Have to run some benchmarking...

Helidon seems to have really little adoption. Anybody using it in production? What's your experience?

The issue seems to be resolved now

New comment by derkoe in "Node.js Downloads Return Mostly 404"

It seems to work around 25% of the time - seems like some mirrors have not all the files. It's quite strange that the same IP returns the file and then doesn't.
