Al la dc rent registry, which I always thought was ironic because doesn’t this create a database where landlords can consider prices based on others… but I guess it would be public in this case.

I’m currently using it for small projects (under 100 users each), it’s definitely a niche choice, but it’s super easy to hand-roll from scratch. I’ve been running an app stack that’s pure dart, top to bottom, and it’s great being able to share code between my flutter app, web app, and backend.

I love this framework! It offers all the benefits of Dart and the Flutter widget paradigm on the web, while still providing access to the DOM. I'm using Jaspr for all of my marketing sites. It's beautiful, and I can ship in minutes.

It's Okta's key feature... Once a user logs in and reaches their 'Apps Dashboard,' they can click on any SaaS app to open it in an already authenticated session without needing to know the passwords. This makes it possible for multiple users to access a single license.

How will Meta leverage LLMs at scale to drive revenue? It's not clear.

I see the goal as a setup to pit LLM providers against each other to pay 10B a year to be the 2nd tap default.

It's somewhat understandable considering the rising minimum wages for restaurant staff and the additional fees restaurants impose for employee benefits, which have been implemented in several major cities.

New comment by kdot in "Tucker Carlson bringing show to Twitter"

kdot — Tue, 09 May 2023 23:41:08 +0000

Twitter seems ill-suited for long-form video content. It's optimized more for bite-sized interactions, not prolonged viewing.

The lagging, buffering, and poor video resolution reflect this. Platforms like YouTube or Vimeo have honed their infrastructure for stable, high-quality video streaming and created an interface that promotes sustained engagement.

For Twitter to compete in this space, it needs to fundamentally rethink its approach to video content, from infrastructure and compression algorithms to user interface design and balancing social interaction with content consumption.

You still have to "sign up" for Apple Cash though, which is a process that involves uploading your government identification.
