I don´t understand how you could use this new tasks system in production if there is no real workers when it's released? Are there any 3rd party yet?

I have been an Evernote, then Notion and now a Jopplin user. A feature I used a lot in these apps is the browser extension that allows me to quickly bookmark a web page into a note. Would you consider such a feature?

New comment by ponytech in "Why Choose ULIDs over Traditional UUIDs or IDs for Database Identification?"

ponytech — Mon, 06 May 2024 07:43:21 +0000

My preference: using traditional incremental numeric IDs and obfuscate them with Hashids (https://hashids.org) when exposed publicly

I feel the same. €1,877/year for removing the Unity logo on splash screen is way too much for a small studio like us.

Catan is the game that got me into modern board games 20 years ago. Following board game nights made me meet people who are still close friends today and introduced me to the mother of my children.

My life would have been so different without Mr Teuber creations. Thank you and reset in peace.

For those still hosting websites themself, is there any modern web stats analyzer you could recommend? AWStats or Webalizer look so dated.
