Curious about your stack that you are using if you don’t mind sharing.

Just had a great conversation with multiple people, really like the concept displayed in the showcase.

I think that it means the reason for doing where 1 = 1 is sometimes to allow for easy insertion of dynamic queries which can be a security and performance issue. The actual usage of where 1 = 1 doesn't cause the security or performance issue.

Are you doing screenshot comparison with Playwright? If so, how? Based on my research this looks to be a missing feature but I could be incorrect.

Any recommendations for a more aggressive reset? What if you are already using a library such as bootstrap or tailwind?

100%. ORMs are good for basic queries but the messes I have seen written joining 20 plus tables with conditions and left joins, etc, oof. Just use SQL, it’s much cleaner and easier to maintain.

To add to this Commander Keen was released on a very limited platform. More people were gaming on Nintendo systems than personal computers. If Commander Keen was released on Nintendo things may have gone differently.

You don’t need electrical lines. Check out companies such as Tushy.

There are plenty of bidets that don’t require electricity. You can buy them as attachments to almost any toilet.

Oh, wow. You just changed my life. Thank you, this makes so much sense. Any other recommendations for different approaches to commonly used software?

Until the small players all close down and then the big players raise prices.

20+ years ago I wrote a completely custom open order dashboard on top of Oracle database that was modeled after a 30+ page daily report that the warehouse guy was printing every morning (M-F) and making 15 - 20 copies, then delivering to management. Aside from saving some trees the warehouse guy was able to come into work an hour later! (He was salary, so no issues there.)

These are fantastic, thank you for sharing!

I’ve been exploring generating small charts with SVGs lately. Does anyone have good resources or suggestions for SVG chart generation? Ideally without requiring a JavaScript framework.

Would be interested to hear more about your opinion on why using a database is a mistake.

Agreed on the 3rd party code having a WAF.

What WAF solution are you using for WordPress?

Even better, use stored procedures / routines on top of views and only query the stored procedures from the frontend.

Also, https://archive.ph/uiJTx since I couldn't get past the image captcha on archive.is. :|

I’m currently using Ansible for something similar. Mind if I ask why you switched to Terraform?

I’ve heard it said that if it’s important enough to you then you will give it the time it needs. Either spending time with certain people or when working. For long lists, pick the task that’s most important to complete and do it. Then pick the next most important task and repeat.

I’m in the same position as you. They keep removing features and raising the prices. Been with them for 6 years. Biggest concern is moving all of my monthly recurring revenue elsewhere since I’m auto billing stored CC information (stored with CC processor only).

I’m interested in learning more about this. Mind if I message you?

Is anyone else experiencing where they have a paid Google business subscription for Gmail, Drive, etc and receive emails about posts to their Google group but even as an admin you are unable to access the content in the links? I never setup Google groups for my company but I receive an alert every time a spammer posts something. There has been no response from Google support on this.

Create a second account with your bank that is only for PayPal withdrawals.

I read a quote once that basically says, if it’s important you will make time for it. A 4 mile walk can be completed in a little over an hour. The question isn’t how do you make time, it’s more, what am I going to give up to walk?

Simple is always better, especially if you are a small team. For example, there is no reason to scroll jack the site. It makes it extremely difficult to navigate and at least for myself, I immediately close the tab if scroll jacking is in place.

Let your product speak for itself, don't over complicate things or you will lose user confidence.

Wildbit is fantastic but unfortunately the new owners are known for very poor products and service. Fingers crossed though because Postmark has been the beacon of hope for a couple of years now.

Check out Fred Miranda for photography reviews and discussions on equipment.

They have been saving it for years. How do you think they give so much away for free? By selling the information they collect.

In my opinion you should be careful claiming 100% uptime since it feels that you are just throwing numbers out there. Especially with other comments in this thread stating that this doesn’t appear to be 90% of data.
