The school was bombed by US Tomahawk missiles, twice via a double tap so the medical personnel were killed too.

It's absolutely absurd to think this would be caused by a misfire from Iran.

There was zero evidence they were close to a nuke. In fact, they've been alleged to be weeks away from a nuke for over 20 years. And the accusations come from the ones with the illegal nukes themselves!

This was true 3 years ago but not generally the case anymore. There's been significant advancements to move away from trusted setups and the speedups with current methods are quickly approaching viability.

Not having this statement results in a compile time error in solidity.

Thank you, this is where I'll likely start.

From other comments as well, seems it's still worth trying to integrate otel. Appreciate everyone's insights

noob question, i'm currently adding telemetry to my backend.

I was at first implementing otel throughout my api, but ran into some minor headaches and a lot of boilerplate. I shopped a bit around and saw that Sentry has a lot of nice integrations everywhere, and seems to have all the same features (metrics, traces, error reporting). I'm considering just using Sentry for both backend and frontend and other pieces as well.

Curious if anyone has thoughts on this. Assuming Sentry can fulfill our requirements, the only thing taht really concerns me is vendor-lockin. But I'm wondering other people's thoughts

It's fine if you know them well. The unclarity in boundaries between client and server components, and the unintentional complexity that brings, is just frustrating to work with. I will gladly take a CSA any day.

But don't let a random internet stranger detract you. If it works for you, go for it.

Next and RSCs have become some of the most frustrating things I've worked with on frontend. Dealing with FE is already annoying enough, but having to wrestle the magic of Next and then vendor lock-in to Vercel to top it off.

Team is trying out Tanstack router + vite this week. Excited to build a regular ass CSA.

URCL is sending me down a rabbithole. Haven't looked super deeply yet, but the most hilarious timeline would be that an IR built for Minecraft becomes a viable compilation target for languages.

Would be nice to pop it up on the phone via an app. PWA would also be nice.

But main reason is so he can monetize. Would gladly pay a few dollars for this.

I love this, spent more time on it than i thought i would. You should make this into a native mobile game.

Partially agree. But I can't help thinking this is the natural lifecycle of protocols. They first start as open projects, proliferate as such, and evolve into standards with governance once they catch on.

What would you call these projects? Open protocols?

I've found myself having brand loyalty to Claude. I don't really trust any of the other models with coding, the only one I even let close to my work is Claude. And this is after trying most of them. Looking forward to trying 4.

Will give this a try. I was using claude code to make a small game in love2d, and really hoped for a nice lua ecs lib to help manage the game objects (its my first time playing around with game dev).

When traveling, a funny thought I always have is watching other tourists take the same photos, from the same exact location, knowing it will be backed up to iCloud. I can't help but imagine how much disk space is taken up by duplicates of the exact same photo.

A great book that goes deeper into the sand industry is The Material World by Ed Conway. Highly recommended!

The legal landscape forced the industry to be purely financial. Hopefully this changes soon.
