Do you make people feel any of these? (eqi.org/cnfs.htm)

I ported ukiyo-e.org over to @CloudflareDev Workers + R2 (1TB of image hosting) + D1 (for full-text search) recently and I'm super happy with it! Using React Router v7 + React 19, about 11 mil dynamic requests/month, served in under 35ms! Total cost ~$25/month.

@mynameis_davis @Shpigford Remember Woot?

Idea: @Shpigford's dutch auction for selling SaaS businesses, but only list 1 vetted SaaS business per day, with the auction starting at a set time each day to make it a big event that everyone wants to check out If the business sells, you take some % as your platform fee

Me on vacation: Under no circumstances will I end up in the kitchen with the boys singing sea shantys Me two hours into vacation

@flkrs @cybertruck I want to move to a world where passenger trailers are legal -> add six seats to your car only when you need them

@zackbloom @cybertruck That is a much a more reasonable suggestion than 7yo idea of 5 cybertrucks or the brothers joint consensus of their older sister being ready for boarding school.

@flkrs @cybertruck two cybertrucks!

@cybertruck Now what about larger families?

I met my wife on a forum for people who had been experiencing the same aural hallucination for years (kids choir singing the first verse of “Hey Ya”)

@CJHandmer @cremieuxrecueil If the pilot says they will maintain visual separation, it means they have seen the other plane and are able to stay clear of it. That is the end of ATCs responsibilities.

@cremieuxrecueil Sounds like ATC screwed up.

Listening to the ATC talk to the helicopter is pretty wild. They ask the helo if they have the CRJ700 in sight and you can't hear the response, then the ATC says, "PAT25, pass behind the CRJ." What happened?

@thomasgauvin Order of magnitude or it doesn’t count

We just raised the Workers KV namespace limits for all Cloudflare accounts, from 200 to 1000 Folks had been running into those limits, especially teams building multi-tenant applications who split KV data by tenant. That’s now a thing of the past! developers.cloudflare.com/changelog-next…

@flkrs I love that Santa, is it a set?

Merry Christmas!

It's very weird that nobody told me just how interesting or fun it was going to be. Though I think partly it's because the delight is so particular and difficult to express. The hard parts are the only parts relatable to non-parents.

Tempted to move to LA just to be near @imsmetals. I like shopping for metal the same way people pick out produce

You aren't supposed to get your childlike wonder back. That was created for you in part by the adults that loved and cared for you. Once you grow up, it's your turn to give it to someone else.

babies seem to start reciprocating prosocial behavior earlier than i thought they would. i went in kinda assuming that kids are naturally supposed to be selfish/narcissistic until they're like 3+ years old or something, but my 1yo tries to feed me his food, offers me playthings

We need to talk about grandparents who play with a kid for like 30 minutes and then hide for 5 hours to do phone

Sleep training babies to cry until they “give up” sets them up poorly biologically speaking, and sleep training coaches won’t disclose this because sleep training is all about the “mental health” of the mother. But what about the baby? When a newborn finally gives up after crying as hard as they can, it’s because their instincts tell them their mother is dead and they need to protect themselves/their energy from the thing they think killed her. This is highly traumatic to the nervous system and it sets the foundation for stress disorders, poor attachment, and even disease in the future. Consider that the short amount of time your constant closeness is demanded by your baby is for a good and necessary biological reason!

Thank you for participating in the Nate Silvers election simulation universe 6896. You have three hours to say goodbye to your loved ones before shutdown!

anyway you don't have to sign up your 4 year old for 50 Things By Car you can just let them play in the sink and read to them and have them practice drawing on their own and have friends over and give them siblings

@patrickc Bee propolis: cures canker sores instantly

Sleep masks are probably still my favorite cheap item that improves quality of life, but I just discovered electric insect bite treatment devices, and they're surely a contender. Maybe everyone else already knows about them, but a short (3 sec) application of heat with one of these things appears to immediately cure the irritation of mosquito bites. (~100% success rate for me.) I'm not sure how well understood the mechanism is, but I guess it denatures the proteins that cause the irritation..? One study: "Mosquito bite-induced itch was reduced by 57% within the first minute and by 81% 5–10 min after treatment, and the overall reduction in itch and pain was more pronounced than in the control group." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Example product: amazon.com/Beurer-BR60-Ch…

One of the most interesting things about “Founder Mode”, is it explains how founders who have read every (or any) business book lose so consistently to those who have read none
