similarly, gemini via google ai studio will happily run workloads over youtube that would be very annoying to run at scale. Especially if you needed to download the video.

I think for my own side projects i would require the user to login if they were making requests from those ip addresses or block.

I absolutely hated talking to claude's opus and I suspect that's part of the problem here. Co-workers would tell me to try 4.6 or 4.8 instead of opus 5. They're all miserable. Sol and astra are the first models i've liked managing. Anthropic models feel as if they have some amount of distain for me and doing my work.

Bun simplified the pain with the ecosystem switch to esm. deno, at the time, made it worse by doing stuff with url based packages that didn’t fully catch on
Re:I am worried about Bun on Monday May 04, 2026 @06:37PM (#48015880)
I don't think bun worked well before the acquisition. Don't get me wrong, i used it all the time for little scripts, but i would never ship a service at work on bun. Between memory issues and incompatibilities that never get fixed, it is a nice toy to me that did a great job of exposing room for improvement in nodejs.

For example, i'd been following this issue https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/14102 and eventually all the libraries shipped "if bun do x" into them, which is the opposite of compatibility.

Re:Cloudflare Email Service on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:25AM (#47794615)
I guess if they're big enough they should be working on moving off of amazon SES for emails and warming up ip addresses? Otherwise they need to keep a markup on top of amazon.

Edit: didn't realize people were paying resend $20. AWS already exists at a low price and people pick them anyway, i'm sure they're fine.

Dumb question but why are chemical weapons always addressed as a risk with llms? Is the idea that they contain how to make chemical weapons or that they would guide someone on how?

Would there not already be websites that contain that information? How is an llm different, i guess, from some sort of anarchist cookbook thing.

Re:You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers on Monday January 26, 2026 @01:02PM (#46769152)
I've found the memory limits to block more of my projects than cpu time. They seem to send multiple requests to a single node/process and if you're making some sort of remix app it easily breaks with any kind of load.
The other thing i've noticed about burritos is that more places take card or apple pay now. When I moved to sf in 2015 many of them were cash only, same with bars. I always assumed some amount of cash was being shuffled under the table.

run your backend tests against this in memory and tests can be run in parallel instead of using a single real postgres instance

Re:Node 20 will be deprecated on GitHub Actions runners on Saturday September 20, 2025 @12:41PM (#45314905)
What are you doing that requires checking in the compiled version. Esbuild takes like one second
Re:Tinycolor supply chain attack post-mortem on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @03:19PM (#45280215)
That's a good point, I would lose package provenance that way. I guess that is fine since it didn't prevent anything here.

I can look into that.

Re:Tinycolor supply chain attack post-mortem on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @02:23PM (#45279484)
Yes, exactly.
Re:Tinycolor supply chain attack post-mortem on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @02:09PM (#45279276)
That's fair, I'm referring to the number of mistakes that happen with local publishing. Publishing the wrong branch, not building from latest etc
Re:Tinycolor supply chain attack post-mortem on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @01:49PM (#45279048)
Sorry if that wasn't clear. This was a token with global publish rights to my npm packages.
Re:Byojs (Bring Your Own JavaScript) by Kyle Simpson on Tuesday December 17, 2024 @06:09PM (#42446445)
there's existing libraries in this space that are quite good. not sure why you would use this instead.

storage for example:

https://github.com/unjs/unstorage vs byojs storage https://github.com/byojs/storage

most users are going to prefer autocomplete and types regardless of if they also use typescript.

Re:Byojs (Bring Your Own JavaScript) by Kyle Simpson on Tuesday December 17, 2024 @05:31PM (#42446138)
esbuild can bundle typescript files directly, you don't need tsc to strip types

edit: nevermind i get what you're saying. check types with tsc and dev work with esbuild

Re:React 19 on Thursday December 05, 2024 @06:46PM (#42334190)
I used vue 2 for work during the switch to vue 3. It was horrific to watch as the vue community had to relearn the worst parts of the class components and the massive shortcomings of both the template library type checking and the other parts that basically can't ever support typescript like class mixins. If you want to use vue with a .tsx file you might as well use react.

Today, 33% of vue downloads in the last 7 days are for vue 2.

There was a lot of things that were nice in the vue world like vite and vuex, but I'd never recommend vue to anyone, especially anyone that wants a good typescript experience.

here's an example library button using .tsx in vue https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify/blob/master/packages/vu...

If you use webpack and haven't looked into rspack you should! Can drop it in and speed up large webpack apps, currently investigating it at Sentry.

Re:A Rant about Front-end Development on Friday June 21, 2024 @12:59AM (#40746293)
I have to do "real" ssr every once in a while via the django jinja html files we have to send emails. It makes me want to die coming from our nice typescript react SPA frontend. Every object is a mystery and jinja syntax is functional but terrible to maintain and of course you're suddenly using tables because it's an email.

I'd rather every element be a div than do one minute of editing those stupid jinja files.
