Re:13 Months Sober (2025) on Monday September 28, 2026 @12:41PM (#49880784)
Loved this read and perspective.

Been sober myself for about three years now and it wasn’t hardly as difficult as I used to tell myself.

Here’s to another year!

It seems like a contradiction.

This is awesome, thanks for creating this list!
Hey there, thanks for sharing this! I wanted to check out the code but it seems like the repo is private.

They aim at AI companies who currently are well funded and can easily carve out $500/m for an SDK.
Re:tldraw SDK 4.0 on Thursday September 18, 2025 @05:18PM (#45295118)
The $500/m plan seems pretty excessive. I expect an alternative to pop up soon and hope such greed won't capture those devs.

Glad I only just started using tldraw weeks ago, time to move away.

This looks pretty nice, thanks for sharing. Is it available on GitHub?
Looks awesome! It would be good to add a license to your repo!
Re:When the digital nomad dream turns sour on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @10:55AM (#44434511)
I left my home country about 10 years ago when I got hired by a US-based startup that allowed me to work remotely.

Since then I've been living abroad and have often referred to myself and by others as a digital nomad, though some people might disagree.

I think the main thing that I did differently from a typical digital nomad described in the article is to not pursue continuous travel to new locations (that's what I take vacations for) but instead spend significant time each year in a few places around the world that you like, and come back to those places.

This allowed me to get to know a couple of cities pretty well. I got to know people and places, and it made it easier to get back in the flow when you come back, as you already know your way around, and you understand how things like money, groceries, transport and other services work.

Besides that I optimized for productivity. So I try to minimize the amount of time I need to depend on a coffeeshop by getting Airbnb's that have a desk or rent a desk in a co-working. I always bring a laptop stand, keyboard and mouse and sometimes use my tablet as a second screen to get max ergonomics.

I met my wife during one of these trips and we have been living and traveling together since 2018.

For the last 5 years we've rented several places for longer time that we call home. I typically spend around 6 months per year there, the rest I'm still traveling, my wife tends to spend a bit more time at home.

End of this year we'll move to SE Asia, we'll travel around for like 2 months before we decide where we want to rent a place to call home.

From there, we'll continue to explore the region and hopefully get to know some more amazing spots.

We feel we're not exhausted yet and are looking forward to what the next years will bring us

Re:Apple Just Sherlocked Docker on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @03:40AM (#44233810)
I've recently switched to Orbstack as a drop-in replacement for Docker on my MacBook and it’s faster and more efficient.

The main reason it works well for me is that I don't have to change anything about my workflow, commands like 'docker run' and 'docker compose up' still work, just faster and more efficient.

If Apple's container works the same they might 'sherlock' Docker and Orbstack.

But what makes it obsolete if this is what you use it for?
One of my mentees worked with Xata in their app using Prisma and it wasn't great. The need for a second db for the 'shadow' db that prisma needs, and they would throw Out of Memory errors frequently without any significant usage.

The app now moved to Prisma's postgres hosting and it works like a charm, only thing that changed is the db.

Looks very interesting and complete. The repo had an MIT License and can be found here:

Re:Supabase raises $200M Series D at $2B valuation on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @07:31PM (#43767274)
A 'serverless' platform that's "similiar". But not open source, and uses a token to 'own a piece of it'?

Care to explain what the idea behind this is and where you see the similarities?

Same, a tool like this would be invaluable if OSS.

I don't know of any sadly.

I very much enjoyed this conversation and had some good laughs!
This looks amazing! Going to run it on my develop cluster!
A similar tool that's actively developed was posted a few days ago.

This looks like an interesting piece of tech for this price.

From the FAQ:

> > how much is the cost of making this?

> it's yet to be determined but we aim for less than $200.

Got it, that makes sense.

Maybe good to describe that use case in the README.

Is there any benefit over using this versus an industry standard like OpenAPI/Swagger?

Does it add any new features?
