I'm being pedantic but I liked your comment. Most TVs today are giant ARM computers, ~95% of TVs ship with ARM Cortex but only about 35% have some variant of Android.
Most LED backlights are wired in such a way that when one LED fails it bricks a significant portion of the panel backlight. You'll knock out entire rows or huge portions of neighbor backlight LEDs when one fails. Basically it's a cheap way to ensure a whole row of LEDs are the same brightness but the tradeoff is one LED fails and it looks like 5% of your screen went dark.
It seems like a good beginner-intermediate thing that'd be approachable to learn with a basic multimeter and beginner level soldering skills.
Chalkboards are white on black. You basically have chalkboards or whiteboards to draw from. Not sure either is landing in the Louvre. Both have their aesthetic uses. I'd imagine chalkboards for academic topics, whiteboards for business, but different ages and cultures will feel differently.
I bought the color package, enjoying it. It's a personal preference. Hopefully the founders get a variety of feedback and can make a judgement based on multiple datapoints.
X is so large that it can simultaneously be a giant dumpster fire, the most toxic social network ever to exist, and still have room for honest discussion and good communities.
Gives me some hope for Bluesky, etc. I don't think you need to be Twitter scale or have global network effects to work. Your community just has to choose a particular platform and show a preference for it. You get miniature network effects once your community adopts it.
So if your favorite community doesn't like a particular platform, I don't think they're stuck there, just because it's the one with global scale. They just have to organize an exit.
There's a lot of correct feedback about why this is not an amazing start for something starting as a marketplace for talent.
This could be a beautiful start for a Linkedin alternative focused on freelancers, entrepreneurs, etc. Maybe even people in specific industries whose Linkedin currently does more than get them their next job (sales comes to mind, but also folks who work at design agencies and need to get clients, and have a profile they attach somewhere in the about us section).
BunnyCDN has a great product offering, particularly if you've used Backblaze B2 as "ultra-cheap" object storage, the BunnyCDN product is very competitive pricing-wise, and the CDN configures seamlessly with it. And you can set up a cheap image transform proxy on any of your CDNs.
R2 is cheaper though if you storage cost is less than your bandwidth cost, and B2 has a feature to automatically expire items which depending on your design might make it more efficient.
Cloudflare sales folks are notorious for randomly emailing you and forcing you to suddenly buy 1k+ usd plans out of nothing suddenly.
Be wary of that scenario, it happens quite often if you observe cloudflare’s reddit sub. I think most folks are ok paying for stuff , aws being 10x more expensive wouldnt be so successful if people didnt like paying.
But predictability is important, and cloudflare salesmen can tend to be a bit unpredictable and unprofessional and extensively attempt to use all sorts of pressure tactics to reach their sales quota, so be careful.
I’m saying it as someone who extensively uses Cloudflare Workers and pay for their monthly subscriptions.
This isn't new or unique. The model seems to be too focused on the task at hand, "cleaning up" unrelated code.
I basically have to branch, commit every time it makes any progress at all, and squash later. There are built-in checkpoints that basically do this.
I actually run this side-by-side with my preferred IDE, and GitHub Desktop (to visualize the diffs). So, prompt -> Claude makes a change -> I view the diff -> I make some edits -> Commit -> back to Cursor.
They're ad-free for Premium subscribers, but some small amount of the premium subscription fee is supposed to be divvied up between everything you watch, so it is technically being monetized.
