I realised I wasn't Tailscale's target customer when I reported a 100% reproducible iOS bug/regression over a year ago. It was confirmed, logged, and forgotten.
Jurassic Park III (2001) has a 3D printer that’s central to a plot line. I know they have a long history but I remember thinking that was more sci-fi than the dinosaurs.
A big misconception I've seen is the assumption that Nostr relays are federated and share messages between one another. This is not how it works. So if you're building a "Twitter clone" the client app must search multiple relays and post to multiple relays. If clients are not using a relay in common they cannot see one another.
The end result is a bad experience for both user and developer. Using a single relay is centralised and defeats the point. Using multiple relays is slow and cumbersome and requires the user to know/care which relays they are connecting to.
When I played with Nostr a couple years ago the "NIPs" were already a complete mess. Later NIPs supersede earlier NIPs changing how clients are supposed to interpret messages. At least some are flagged as "unrecommended: deprecated" now.

Also the UK government:

Do developers not see the irony of publishing AI generated code with a LICENSE?
at least this one does:
> Postscriptum: Yes, I did slap an Apache 2 license on it. Is that even valid when there's barely a human in the loop? A fascinating question but not one I'm not eager to figure out myself. It is however certainly something we'll all have to confront sooner or later.
It makes it easier for users to enable permissions, accidentally too, and thus lower security and privacy. Google products are designed to exploit that. Google probably has data showing a large number of users have disabled such permissions globally, with no easy path to trick them into opting back in. That would be the cynical view!
edit: also one can never be too paranoid around Google.
I guess we’ll see soon enough what Deploy will become since that's "imminent".
KV is dead if they've no desire to develop it out of beta and are working on something new. No reason to ever use it for a new project now.
Fresh is being refactored with an alpha in "late Q3 2025 (likely September)". It was a fairly basic framework to being with. The no compilation/build step was the only interesting idea and that's going away.
The runtime is actively developed but I find this statement amusing:
> We’re not chasing feature parity with other runtimes.
The release notes on Node/NPM compatibility would suggest otherwise.
Seems like the CMA are concerned for other advertisers who profit from 3rd-party cookies, no concern for user's privacy. That poor billion dollar industry, how will it cope?
