@theo What about DRM. I tried it but realized like ungoogled it doesnt have the content decryption module which was a dealbreaker for me to use as my main browser

This has been my daily driver for a bit now. The Chrome replacement I’ve been waiting for.

@23Aaron_ @thdxr you cant be 100% sure, but after driving past these buildings a million times, its easy to pick out whats Equinix and what isnt

@23Aaron_ @thdxr search up Waxpool Rd, in Loudoun County, Virginia, it wont disappoint. Also look around IAD (Dulles International Airport). Pretty sure AWS is at Loudoun Downs Ln in Sterling, VA. @thdxr

so the literal location of us-east-1 datacenters are not easily discoverable, i tried the other day they are kept secret can we get georainbolt on this? we need a sat photo of where the internet is located asap

pulled it. literally shaking rn 🫨🫨

@AdamRackis But what if TS is an incredibly weird productivity hack 🙂

TS is an incredible productivity hack. TS is weird. You can tell everything you need to know about an engineer by whether they focus on 1, or 2

@alistaiir It's crazy I know exactly which building this is and I drive past it all the time.

they should sell tickets to us-east-1 like a tourist attraction like disneyworld

@HamelHusain @stripe I’ve spent plenty of time negotiating with bank accounts and payment gateways (the manual version of stripe). It’s hard because stripe covers a lot of the legalese aspects of accepting payments. I’d bite the bullet on something like Paddle or even your own acquirer + merchant 🙂

New businesses cannot trust @stripe They literally holding all my money hostage and you cant get through to meaningful support. Just and endless wall of red tape. Ive never had a refund request. So mad about this.

@AdamRackis My OS class talked about the fundamentals of git as a means of pushing your code for the teaching assistants and professors to grade. They covered a decent amount too: committing, tagging, branching, etc.

Why does “make college useful” discourse always turn into a pile of straw man arguments. Nobody is saying college comp sci should have courses on Git. But if you’re coding assignments anyway there’s no good reason to not use industry relevant tooling in the process.

WHAT THE FUCK

@RnaudBertrand I understand this kind of thing is nuanced, but isn’t it bad faith to immediately assume the extreme that the US doesn’t care about international law because of generic wordplay from the speaker?

I'm actually genuinely shocked by the amount of Americans who commented on this 👇 saying it was perfectly normal for the US not to be bound by international law, and arguing for "America first" as if there was some sort of opposition between international law and American interests. The current framework of international law, centered around the UN Charter, was drafted by the victors of World War II, very much including the US, to establish common rules and prevent a recurrence of the devastating conflicts and horrors that characterized the first half of the twentieth century. The US is not on a different planet, it benefits like all others from living in a world with rules. And in fact it probably benefits more from that than most given how connected it is to the rest of the world and given how biased the rules are in its favor, given they're the ones who wrote them in the first place... As a reminder, only five countries have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council so by definition these countries are at a huge advantage compared with others. Bhutan for instance, the isolated Himalayan kingdom, doesn't care much one way or another if some rules are drawn on, say, international maritime trade regulations. They are not a major player in that domain, and their economy is not heavily dependent on global trade routes. The impact of such regulations on their daily lives would be negligible. The US however, as global player, would be not only hugely impacted by such rules, but it is unequivocally in its interests that these rules exist. The reason is because, in this instance, without such rules, trade would collapse: the risk premium of sending a container ship on the ocean would skyrocket due to the resulting instability and unpredictability of not having the rules... As a reminder, trade accounts for 26% of US GDP, it enables millions of American jobs and it's also a significant factor in the status of the US dollar as a reserve currency. Looking at things "America first", you actually want international law to exist. The US also cannot continue having its cake and eating it too, i.e. expect the world to comply with rules while it (and the West in general) doesn't. It might have been possible during a very short period of time when we were in a unipolar world with the US as the sole great power. But in the multipolar world we find ourselves in today, it's completely unsustainable because the US has lost the power to compel other countries to follow its will. If the US doesn't respect rules, all it does is destroy the rules for everyone, and ultimately ends up undermining its own interests. This current transition from unipolarity to multipolarity is actually the very reason why there is that anti-international law movement in the US today. It is the US realizing that they're now in a world where they not only cannot unilaterally dictate terms anymore but will also need to accommodate others' interests. And having limitations when you previously didn't is always hard to take... Hence the kneejerk reaction. It will undoubtedly take a while for the US to realize that restoring unipolarity is a pipe dream and that abiding by common rules is inevitable and for the greater good. In a way it needs to relearn the same lessons it did learn after both world wars: hopefully this time around a world war won't be necessary for these lessons to sink in...

@luciascarlet @markrendle I’ll be real it’s only Unix and the hardware at this point. It’s cool to see Windows catching up for sure tho 🙂

@markrendle - the Finder (columns view, expandable lists, spring loaded folders, Quick Look) - (somewhat) consistent UI across apps - Mission Control & full-screen - excellent trackpad & Magic Mouse software - iCloud and iOS integrations - Safari - Core Audio - Spotlight - UNIX

Bunch of Mac Lifers insisting that macOS is “just better” than Windows and I’d love to see their working. What, exactly, makes macOS better? Because I find it clunky and awkward. C’mon, @ me.

@marclou 1 product, $25/mo 🫠

I never change my tech stack. My 21 products get 550,000 page views per month using this simple — not fancy — tech stack:

@manishtyagi__ Golang

Which language is this?

@kylegawley People who make the argument that tailwind can look unique have not spent the time configuring it to achieve that. It’s easier to just style yourself than use tailwind especially if you want to build something unique. But, it’s nice when I’m just trying to build something quick.

I've never understood the appeal of Tailwind The power of CSS is reusable classes Style once → apply anywhere Modifying a Tailwind style means doing a find and replace on 100s of instances of an HTML object What am I missing?

@luciascarlet Also not to mention, these are all just safari but reskinned atm

Jesus Christ what in the fuck is this ordering did they print out icons of all of the browsers, put them in a cup, shake it around, throw them on the floor, and list them in the order they fell out in because that is the only explanation I can think of

@luciascarlet Nothing!

what are some notable applications of Swift for Windows and Linux aside from Arc and Vapor?

@willywurr @hbkirb Zebra.

@hbkirb tweet about zebra 📈

I think this Twitter account is straight up broken. My analytics have been blank since August, and tweets that should get a decent amount of attention seem to get not much. I’ve seen others make fresh accounts to flush out whatever bad state… wondering if I need to do that 😬
