Seems to be timing out pretty often on my end for the last 2h.

Yeah - one should consider it's usability and features/purpose instead (and probably a lot more like current stage/marketing, etc).

I've followed the progress and I must say I am happy to see this out there! Looks really cool!

Absolutely haha!

I remember being excited when I could remotely control the lights on my table from school (fun little arduino/rpie + led project).

Now we remotely control cars with REST... Indeed cool and terrifying!

Are you not able to host your service on a server?

You could use some cheap cloud servers from DigitalOcean or Hetzner and it would cost you something like $5 to $10 (depending on the resources you need).

You might spend a bit of time initially just to set up everything but technically it woulf be easy to set up.

For password protection, you can probably do some basic http auth.

I've just read about Yep this morning, a search engine by Ahrefs - one of the most used SEO tools.

I honestly am not sure how well their content and index is going to be, but it seems like they reinvested a lot into it... It could be biased for sure...

That feels old!

I still have my core2duo system, since approximately 2008 - it still runs great and works perfectly. I am mainly running Linux on it as a "build" server for a project.

I also have a J1900 for the past 10 years or so, running a couple VMs on it - not too performant to run major stuff, but works great. I've used this system as my main machine until 2020 (early covid) and upgraded to something way stronger.

I agree with the ownership part. As part of my team (devops), we try our best to help with alerts and incidents, however, without ownership we are limited.

We do not know a product or a component better than those who own it or code it.

I cannot seem to reach the link in the OP, however, I would say that infinite scrolling needs to have a solid UI/UX around.

One of the main reason for inifinite scrolling is to have more and more content shown and try to attract the users and let them stay around (social networks for example).

However, there are cases where it's not implemented correctly and clicking next becomes very awful...

This sounds very cool - I have three iPads with one not being used, would be very interested in doing something like this!

Not exactly related to Apple or iPads but this reminds me of running a webserver on an old Android phone of mine. Created a port forward on my modem and used Cloudflare to set a DNS, it wasn't the fastest thing but pretty cool weekend project.

Yeah, seems like they changed a lot recently (since they're on NYSE). I feel like they are transitioning away from the "for developers" cloud, to more like a "to be" Heorku or AWS/Azure/GCP cloud.

Now that's crazy! They don't seem to be afraid to do major changes in one shot (yes, probably type checked because of typescript - but still, that's huge!)

Interesting article (first one).

It seems like more and more companies (looking at AWS and Netflix directly) seem to deploy ~1k micro services.

I work in a team where we manage ~14 micro services (per environment - dev, staging and production - max ~42) and find it complicated to manage and monitor...

I am not really familiar with assembly, I only tried it once, but a game in assembly seems a little too complicated!

I've seen a few big repositories upload their .vscode (pretty sure at least one of the Microsoft repos on Github had this).

I have a few team who does commit their .vscode folder, they use it to set up their environment the same way (usually when a project differs from another).

I like the interface, it looks clean!

What kind of information do you have with the analytics?

Companies are really trying to take money from everything now...

Once you get in, you cannot get out easily. The algorithm works, you keep getting "better" and "better" content that you just keep want to watch it.

Totally agree with this! I've used all kind of social media in the past, but I have been living freely since I stopped using these (well, I still go on to twitter once or twice a week, but I can still see a big difference!)

I agree! Looks like you've put a lot of work into this! Really cool!

It all depends on what exactly you need with the authorization. Building a simple one isn't too complicated (even boilerplates exists). If you do not have multiple dependencies, you can easily implement one using firebase (google) or cognito (aws).

I personally like to develop my own one, since I do not want to have too many external dependencies.

This is a really good idea! I've worked with both Azure and AWS - we've mainly used Powershell scripts and both their SDKs to deploy resources.

For AWS we were still using the sdks / cli to deploy but for Azure we went to bicep (Azure's api really sucked as it kept being updated very often and caused the Az module to stop working).

I can see value in this as it grows!

You never can be too sure haha!

That was a solution that worked almost all the time. I remember doing the same with inputs for email too

As someone who uses (and loves) Laravel, this looks very promising! I've been looking for an alternative to Laravel in NodeJS but found nothing at the same level of it. Looking forward to using Bud in an upcoming project (will be a REST API backend in Go).

Wow, this looks absolutely nice! It looks clean and neat as well!

Absolutely, anyway they're earning money from these users, so definitely count it.

Same here, +1 for this.

As someone who is freelancing (and using Hetzner-cloud + dedicated) and also working as a cloud-ops (using AWS and mainly Azure as cloud providers), I can say that going with a cloud provider like Azure is simpler.

Saving cost is definitely important, however, seeing that there are multiple dev/salaried, I doubt it's really a big concern (you also don't seem to have that many resources).

Most of the time, with resources from Azure, you would get features already completed and existing (I am looking directly at Application Insights for example) - with resources like App services, Web apps and Function apps you get ease of debugging (yes, there is a cost associated, however, in the long term when you scale, you definitely see the advantage).

I've personally suggested my colleagues to try out a dedicated server from either Hetzner or OVH (that specific one needed at least 128GB RAM) so going with Azure would of been quite expensive (and probably less than $200 per month from either OVH or Hetzner) - but they've decided to stay with Azure and I can confirm that they are not paying less than $900 per month.

It seems like cost isn't always the main factor, but rather ease the time it would take to prepare/set up everything.
