I guess Supabase is the obvious contender. It doesn't provide the actual frontend hosting though, which is a bit of a pain because now you have two problems.

Many years ago I was obsessed with Berkeley DB and its performance.

But when I discovered Tokyo Cabinet and Tokyo Tyrant I almost literally fell in love. We used it for things that would have been impossible without it at the time.

Back in 2011 (!) I went to a wedding in Denia, a medium-sized town on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

The day after the wedding we went to a restaurant by the sea to have some hangover paella, part of the wedding celebrations. Weddings in Spain are usually 2 or 3 day affairs. Anyway, since we were travelling back to Madrid later that day we left our luggage in the trunk of the car, not visible from the outside. We locked the doors and off for paella.

Or so we thought: some bad guys were jamming the car key frequencies so the car didn’t actually lock. They hit jackpot with my bag: my Canon IXUS camera (I loved that camera), my Kindle 3G, my MacBook Pro and my iPad… with 3G.

When we found out later that day we went to the local Guardia Civil and told them the story. I opened “Find My” on my phone and told them exactly where the bad guys were, all the way in Valencia already.

You should have seen the face of the two-days-shy-from-retiring officer when I told him that my iPad was connected to the internet and broadcasting its location continuously. Remember this was 2011.

So they sent a police car to check out the area and found a suspiciously hot car. They noted it down and did some old-fashioned policing the rest of the summer. Two months later I got a call: they had found them and waited on them to continue stealing using the same MO, until they had a large enough stash that they could be charged with a worse crime.

They had found my bag, my MacBook and my iPad. The smaller items had already been sold on the black market.

It still is one of my favourite hacker stories. I went to court as a witness and retold the whole thing. The look on the judge’s face was also priceless.

Not yet! Really looking forward to it. Their development pace is hard to keep up with.

I found that the PydanticAI [0] framework strikes a perfect balance between control and abstraction.

I’m building a non trivial AI app and the validation and dependency injection is such a great addition compared to using the LLM libraries directly.

Honest question: why are houses in the US primarily built with wood? Is it just because it’s cheaper?

Even if it’s cheaper, is it worth to have a cheaper but obviously less durable building when compared to brick and mortar?

It’s always been baffling for my southern European mind.

> * ECS: Two containers can not use same port on same node. Anti pattern to containers.

That's solved if you use Application Load Balancer instead of ELB classic for your ECS service.

Is there any indication the vulnerability is present on Intel-based Macs?

Exactly the same right now from Spain. It seems the attackers are now targeting Dyn's European servers.

Try with `brew upgrade git`

How long will it take for the CA to be distributed to a large enough browser base?

I mean, it could be years. Is there any other, speedier process? (cross-signing, for instance).

I joined a startup wholly-owned by GOWEX 5 months ago. A startup that is now defunct.

I know it sounds crazy but we all believed those numbers, we were happy, money everywhere.

But from time to time one of my mental alarms would go off, and I would just ignore it. "What could possibly be wrong with this company? It's a publicly-traded company, after all."

The moral of the story is: pay attention to your instincts.
