Love that someone at @apple approved, and thought it was a good idea to have a phone activation process that takes 6 hours and makes both of your phone unusable. They already had the backup transfer process but apparently needed something slower.

It’s been at least a couple of days since I was forced to reboot Chrome for an update. Is everything alright in the Chrome team?

.@Zoom you really need to add some OCR to your videos. When people share presentations or documents in their screen it should be possible to interact with the text directly, not as if it was a screen. To enable stuff like copy-pasting and clicking links and so on.

I swear to the world of browser makers: I will use your browser if you promise to make it impossible for websites to disable copy/paste in forms. I do not care if you track my behavior online, just make it not suck.

It’s been broken like this for days at this point. Is there a fix incoming? Is there an alternative way to schedule appointments?

. @CA_DMV it is literally impossible to schedule an appointment from your website using new versions of chrome, Firefox, safari, or any other browser at the moment. Your CORS policies appear to be totally broken and any browser filters out the requests in the geo location page.

@jrm2k6 Many things are getting worse. Google analytics, google maps and other external services can’t be blocked to have it work. The list of dmv offices can only be fetched dynamically via a form that uses said services. There’s no fallback if any of that fails.

If you work on the DMV website for California: open your work email client, write in the subject: “Resignation Letter”, in the body: “Effective immediately I am resigning my position because I don’t know what I’m doing.”. Now press “Send”. Done, you’ll thank me Monday morning.

@zeeg I prefer dotsql with extensions like pgx to manage the db. You don’t lose too much and it’s more nimble. On the server struct you store the db struct with dotsql config and db conn, your API is part of the server then, out of the handlers. Built some very nice apps this way.

Alright Go folks, where would you put the auth code/db models/api endpoints? I was going to aim for encapsulation, but particular the db structs need shared around User (api resource, api auth, session auth). github.com/dcramer/peated…

@_msw_ Yeah, that’s absolutely valid and what I think will happen in this case, as it was already the case that Redis was mostly community developed.

Has relicensing ever worked in recent times? Seems like for big open source projects there’s going to be a service provider that steps in and takes over the old code with same old license. Why do companies keep trying this?

@riffraff I suppose they want younger kids to brake with pedals if they can’t reach brakes. But they’ll first brake with their feet instead as they don’t typically go that fast anyway.

@dialtone_ That sounds so weird! What is the rationale? Is the concern that kids will go downhill too fast?

You may not know this but coaster brakes are required for bikes with less than 25” max saddle height by regulation. Coaster brakes are the single WORST idea ever in the bike industry, and they make learning to ride a bike significantly harder with zero benefits. Buy a freewheel.

@JohnRodkey @zeeg We also used rocket and it was a mistake, at least a couple of years ago it was. The team developing it back then wasn’t big enough and not active enough.

@JohnRodkey @zeeg I like Axum quite a bit and have used it for some projects where my own laptop was able to handle a stupid amount of QPS, like 130k QPS and Axum is very easy to use with the tower-http stuff providing a lot out of the box like CORS, compression, tracing, auth, limits and more.
