Re:The Birth and Death of JavaScript (2014) on Sunday June 14, 2026 @10:12PM (#48535773)
JavaScript is the greatest programming language of all time.
It is pretty obvious who wrote the white paper.
There is something really cool going on with payment over the wire. But why written in Rust? absolute pain to setup.
What is wrong with the japanese automotive industry shifting to 100% EV!? Seems like some kind of seppuku...

Re:Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS on Thursday January 08, 2026 @07:20PM (#46548471)
100% agree. If an open source project needs money to run, then isn't that defeating the purpose of being open source? Open source is a gift economy. If the owner can monetise it on the side then that is just a bonus.

I recently launched this satellite imagery tool.

https://satellitemine.com/

I work as a civil engineer in the mining industry and it can be troublesome to download satellite imagery for a particular date and cloud index. Yes, Google Earth Engine and QGIS plugins exist, but they are slow and confusing to jump back into after a period of time. SatelliteMine is simple to use and any images of your area of interest is saved to your account and can be downloaded as a geotiff.

Currently free to use with a cloud storage capped at 512MB per account. Paid plans for greater storage requirements will be provided if the demand is there. Any feedback is welcomed :)

There has to be a better open source mobile OS out there.

An unpopular opinion but I think an important one, highlighting why quantum computers cannot work.
Just use Kamal and deploy to a Hetzner instance

I still don't understand what Redis does or why we need it as web devs...
I really don't understand why typescript exists...
