Working on a job board as a service. [1] I'm hoping that communities, bloggers, or newsletters pick it up to monetize their audience.

Damn, Unpoly looks great! Never tried HTMX but have been a fan of it, it solves a UX problem that frameworks like Django and Rails suffer from, without needing to bring in something heavy like React.

I'm currently working on a side project in Rails using Stimulus but sometimes I wonder if Stimulus is overkill with all of the controllers and stuff as well. Do you have an opinion on when you should reach for something like Inertia or Stimulus over htmx?

Template Partials and HTMX seems like the Django equivalent of View Components and Stimulus for Rails, which is nice.

Also, good to see first class support for Tasks, among a lot of other niceties!

I was traveling during this entire ordeal. My flight got delayed by 7 hours. Insane day, just now boarding my flight. American Airlines was in shambles today.

Over the years, I saw him inching closer to white supremacy. I didn't realize that he's gone this far off the deep end, yikes.

It's pretty cool that QR codes were created by a Japanese automotive company in order to address the limitations of scanning bar codes, mainly that the scans only worked with a certain orientation. [1]

That being said, I believe bar codes have the UPC number below it in case the code itself is damaged. Could QR codes have a similar textual encoding to identify them? And would that even fit legibly in the square?

Not gonna lie, this is really dope! Can I be your friend and drive from Houston for a LAN Party?

This is a really dope setup! Honestly, it sucks that your Wi-Fi is only 50 mb/s, but hopefully that gets an upgrade soon!

I'd suggest reading up on what some of these new database providers are doing to help prevent or fix mistakes like this. Since you mentioned PlanetScale, I'll use them as an example.

1) PlanetScale has IP ACLs, which locks down passwords to specific IP addresses. [1] Additionally, with TailScale or another VPN solution, locking down based on IP isn't necessary foolproof.

2) They also have Safe Migrations. When enabled, it prevents DDL from being run directly on a database. [2] Additionally, using deploy requests for zero-downtime schema migrations also allows you to use reverts, which will revert the migration. [3]

New comment by viiralvx in "Beautifying our UI: Giving Gitlab build features a fresh look"

viiralvx — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:35:08 +0000

From what I see, it highlights a difference in design cultures between the organizations. GitHub has an amazing Product Design organization who have really evolved the product from the early days to what it is today. When I look at GitLab's UI, I get a feeling that it's a UI that feels designed by an engineer without much thought about these design principles you mentioned. It would take a huge overhaul of their design team, culture, and code for GitLab to bring their UI up to par.

A lot of ex-Hubbers went to Shopify. Additionally, a lot of upstream commits to Rails occurred from things pulled out of GitHub. GitHub has (had?) an entire team dedicated to Ruby and Rails and performance and optimizations/improvements

Also, does them having US Cellular towers also have something to do with it?
