Hallstatt means salt stead - a place where you find salt.

Stadt (town) was derived from Statt - here's a good explanation of that: https://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/sprachratgeber/Stadt-Statt...

Is this a closed source product?
There are some 900% raises in pricing for GitHub Copilot premium requests for the annual plans that won't get converted to token-based usage.

Sonnet 4.6 from 1x to 9x, Opus 4.6 from 3x to 27x (holy moly)

They will also change the business and enterprise plans to token based: https://www.wheresyoured.at/news-microsoft-to-shift-github-c...

This shows a new open source VSCode extension called Stagewise that allows changing UIs directly in the app by selecting an element and adding a prompt: https://stagewise.io/

I've tried it with one of my apps and it works quite well.

Re:You should know this before choosing Next.js on Wednesday March 26, 2025 @01:10PM (#43484394)
I guess there are currently three decent alternatives: - Astro - React Router 7 (former Remix) - Tanstack Start

Astro has more focus on content based sites whereas the other two may also be used for web apps.

I guess Tanstack Start is also a very good alternative to check out https://tanstack.com/start/latest
Most heat pumps fall back to electric heating when it's too cold. So, on these few days you will need the same amount of electricity a typical electric heating will need.
Re:Helidon 4 released (featuring Java virtual threads) on Wednesday October 25, 2023 @01:27PM (#38015463)
Just tried it and it's really fast. Have to run some benchmarking...

Helidon seems to have really little adoption. Anybody using it in production? What's your experience?

One of the most common web frameworks used is Spring Boot - here is their quickstart: https://spring.io/quickstart

Newer alternatives are: https://micronaut.io/ and https://quarkus.io/

If you want to have something really simple look at Javalin: https://javalin.io/

Seems like someone has already done that: https://github.com/withastro/astro.build/pull/730

The issue seems to be resolved now

It seems to work around 25% of the time - seems like some mirrors have not all the files. It's quite strange that the same IP returns the file and then doesn't.

Re:Architecture diagrams should be code on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @05:09PM (#34345725)
The C4 model (https://c4model.com/) is great for architecture diagrams. You can use different tools to generate them. Here are the ones I've been using:

Oh yes it's pretty hard to type on a German keyboard as well. In most editors you will need two keystrokes.
Re:What happen to Svelte project in NPM? on Monday November 28, 2022 @03:43PM (#33779310)
Seems like someone's CI is going mad.

Just found out that Theo already saw this on Nov 22: https://twitter.com/t3dotgg/status/1594949616600256512

Would be interesting to hear from NPM about this.

Re:Has Rakuten made a Rocky-er road for Red Hat? on Monday October 31, 2022 @01:49PM (#33409679)
Red Hat makes things worse for paying customers to sell more subscriptions which will fail in the end.

One example for this is their UBI (universal base image) which should be used to build RHEL containers. The image is "free to use" and therefore they removed lots of packages from the included repos. Many packages cannot be installed - with the current version 9 they removed even more packages. This is really frustrating and time consuming.

My recommendation: use Alma or Rocky Linuxes as an alternative
