This is configurable. In Settings search for "Default mode new sessions". You can select "Terminal", "Agent", or "Cloud Oz".

DIDs are rooted in ECDSA keys (secp256k1). Each user identity is a non-PQ cryptographic commitment. These ecosystems must start migrating very soon because if CRQCs arrive before they're done, they face a choice between user compromise and bricking accounts.

I'm hesitant to build anything load-bearing on AT Protocol given its PQ exposure: https://words.filippo.io/crqc-timeline/
Re:Removal of Heroku free product plans on Thursday August 25, 2022 @12:09PM (#32595774)
I've been writing notes on Heroku alternatives (mostly Fly, Railway, Render) at https://croaky-webstack.deno.dev/ Maybe something useful in there for others.

+1 Netlify.

I've really liked it for https://blog.statusok.com and https://statusok.com

GitHub webhook deploy flow, one-click SSL, 301 redirects and other rewrite support, CDN seems pretty good.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2017) on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @04:51PM (#13768798)
thoughtbot | Web Developer | Austin, Boston, New York City, Raleigh, San Francisco | https://thoughtbot.com/jobs

thoughtbot | Designer | Boston, New York City, Raleigh | https://thoughtbot.com/jobs

thoughtbot | Design Director | London | https://thoughtbot.com/jobs

thoughtbot designers and developers rapidly build high-quality web applications. Well-qualified designers and developers have excellent knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Designers should also be able to create great visual designs and run usability tests and product design sprints.

Developers should have excellent knowledge of Ruby on Rails, , SQL, Unix, and Test-Driven Development. We also have active projects in Go, Elixir Phoenix, React, and React Native. Experience or interest in these technologies is a plus.

Very well-qualified candidates will also have experience with consulting. We work a sustainable pace of 40 hours/week, consulting for clients four days/week. On Fridays, we have investment time when we learn new tools and techniques, work on open source, write blog posts, and make ourselves, each other, and the community better.

Re:Ask HN: What is your go-to example for a good REST API? on Saturday June 25, 2016 @02:33AM (#11975480)
I love Trello and have built a few things on their API but have to agree the API docs are painful, hard to navigate.

Also, what's up, homie? Hope you're well.

Sorry about that! Working on the ILIKE fix at https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/pull/166
Re:James Golick has died on Saturday December 27, 2014 @09:30PM (#8804923)
If you're a Rails developer, you probably have a config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb file in your app. Think of James the next time you see that file. He wrote the initial implementation:

DHH later ported the work to Rails:

https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f42c77f927eb49b00e84d3...

I knew James mostly online and a little in person from various programming conferences. He was smart, funny, and kind. He made a difference. He will be missed.
