@bradgessler sitepress 5.0.0.beta2 requires a non-existent sitepress-server 5.0.0.beta2

@BunnyCDN Looks good on the surface but how can I get inside the container for manual commands? E.g. when deploying a rails application I'd like to access the rails console from my machine.
English

@bradgessler only saw account_id and disliked the need for all those WHERE clauses everywhere. Maybe also because my knowledge of sql interna was to limited. But I was always afraid to run into performance issues with those queries. I‘d be highly interested in the Tenent-DB approach now.

@Giovapanasiti The article resonates with me so much. Glad someone finally tries to tackle this. Will definitively give this a try.

Every Rails app I've shipped eventually needed a marketing site. I always hated the options. So I built one that lives inside the monolith: ActiveCanvas

@bradgessler Don‘t care at all. I‘m exporting as static site in the end and the biggest downside compared to tools from the JS world right now.

@wolax Do you care what server is running? Thinking about using Falcon and building reload into that since it could both monitor file changes and trigger a reload.
Falcon could also run other processes, like a Tailwind compiler.
English

@bradgessler It’s one of those things I wonder why it didn’t exist before once I see it. Also a pretty strong plus signal: seeing domain + tag line and it’s pretty clear what it does right away. 👍🏻

Didn't take long to end up on a collision course with WordPress! 🤣
If you have questions or ideas please throw them in the hopper at producthunt.com/products/openg…
Pretty sure this thing is going to have another layer built on top of the CSS, HTML, meta tags foundation I've laid.

Respectable numbers for a launch! TBH I don't care that much about the rankings. The real gold is talking to humans in the comments section to see what they think about it. If you have questions, hit me up at producthunt.com/products/openg… 📈🚀💪

@bradgessler I’ve heard Kimi mentioned a lot. Seems to be pretty good and much cheaper

@MengTo Serviced Apt is reserved now starting end of January. Any further recommendations? Coworking Space maybe? Would love to connect with some people there.

I just renewed my Singapore visa for 3 years. It’s a paradise here.
- 5-15% income tax for high income (100k to 500k). No capital gain tax, 9% sales tax, no-tipping culture.
- English speaking and top schools for our kids. Best medical system I've experienced.
- 26-32º all-year with warm rains. Can swim every day.
- Best food on earth (except Japan). So many Japanese restaurants/groceries!
- Extremely safe & affordable services like helpers, tutors, transport (grab, lalamove), etc. Everything has agents. World-class MRT and Airport.
2 years ago, I sold everything and moved to Singapore from Canada. I was paying over 150k in taxes every year (50%+). I had a huge house, a swimming pool, a small boat but could only enjoy most of them in the summer.
So Singapore has extremely expensive rent, comparable to SF. BUT the money we’re saving in taxes more than makes up for it. The more you make, the more you save. If you invest, you pay no tax on gains. Revolut, Wise and Moomoo are my go-to apps for transfers and investing. Starting a company and managing visa/accounting/paperwork is a breeze thanks to Sleek. The first year, I was shocked that I only had to pay 5k in taxes. LOL. No paperwork, bc taxes are pretty much auto-reporting. Log in, report, pay, done! ID using Singpass is crazy efficient. PayNow QR code scan & pay is frictionless.
Schools for foreigners are relaxed compared to local schools, and we found one that is extremely affordable (less than 15k a year). They have door-to-door bus services, which saves a lot of time for busy parents. Kids activities, ECA, daycares are widely available without the need to fight for availability (a huge issue we had in Quebec).
Medical is so so good. For stuff like dental, general sickness like fever, pains, chiro, it’s basically same-day or drop-in 15-min. They typically cost 50-100 SGD a visit without insur coverage. In Quebec, we were def fighting for an appointment, calling at multiple places, getting appointments in 1-3 days and costing 150 CAD. Yes, healthcare was free, but only if you’re okay waiting 20 hours in a hospital or days before getting an appointment EVEN for private ones. You won't find any at the public ones, just go to a hospital.
Food is cheaper (hawker centers) and higher quality (a LOT from Japan & Australia) than what we had in Canada. Don Don Donki is insane, but it’s not the only thing Japanese that we fell in love with, hard. Like Sushiro is so so good. Gyukaku, Ippudo, Sushitei, Ichiban Boshi, Daiso… Feels like Japanese things have grown 10x in the past 5 years. And they’re affordable! You can find Wagyu almost as easily as organic food. Japanese strawberries, Muscat from Korea, China, incredible salmons, teas. My kids are obsessed with salmon and mentai since moving to SG.
Furnitures are incredibly unique, tasteful and with high-quality materials like ceramic and wood. I was shocked at the quality for cheaper prices than Ikea! Amazon is still useful for international stuff, but for more unique items, Shopee and Lazada are amazing.
I can go on forever about Singapore. Lately, we started feeling like we already retired (living next to water, with palm trees, hot weather and amazing amenities), but we’re so full of energy and I’ve never worked so hard (as you’ve seen with Aura and DreamCut).

@excid3 Aeron didn’t work for me but very happy with Steelcase Gesture.
English

@SnazzyLabs Well with the purchase of that 3D printer it’s not that cheap anymore. Appreciate that you cut through all the noise around that topic. That made me drop the idea in the past.

It's finally up! I converted an old 5K iMac to a Studio Display for less than 1/3 the cost! It's bright, its colors are accurate, it still has speakers, I can still control the brightness with the keyboard, and more.
And you can build one too!! youtube.com/watch?v=5q3Sdt…

@bradgessler Migrated to the new glob style. Like the rubyness of it. Trying to use the first example with `resources.` did not work with 4.1 for me.
English

@bradgessler Any I18n part of the course? And any cross-course discount for phlexers? 😁
English

It’s getting there. The first sentence needs some work, but the main idea is having content live natively inside the Rails monolith.
Thoughts?
It’s amazing how much time it takes to distill a message.

@nateberkopec Is insert performance ok then, when rows are added in the middle? I was under the assumption that btree inserts perform best at the end of the index.
English

The real answer to this btw is switch to UUIDv7 or ULID for future records, and eventually (hopefully?) since you mostly access recent data, you’ll stop accessing rows with uuidv4 pkeys over time.

@nateberkopec What would you do if you were at 10 req/sec but have 100 table with uuids that you inherited :(
English

@soamjena @dudufolio Great stuff on yours as well but the page itself is not as clean as the other one.
English

@dudufolio check mine varud.co :)
I actually own all of them and list them :)

@mitchellh Didn’t even realize they were missing. Unlike the missing feature of the other 50%.

@BunnyCDN Nice, glad to take part. Probably the CDN with the best support team.
