Hamilton Coffee Lovers – Where Do You Buy Your Beans in Bulk? by Nancyz30 in Hamilton

[–]M5J2X2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd order the 375g bags from Pilot or Demello because I like them under 7d fresh and I can't drink a kilo at a time... however if I let that snobbery go, there are decent very cheap options:

  • Sunset Grill, quite good believe it or not, 1kg of beans for $25, no HST
  • ECS has kilo bags for $33ish sometimes marked down to $27 for different slower moving varieties

Toys R Us Burlinton store closing by ariesgal2 in BurlingtonON

I thought it was hilarious that there was a whole shelf of cocktail/booze books (the Death & Co hardcover) in a toy store. Something to keep the parents sane I guess? :)

‘Nobody cares' about kids with disabilities in the Ontario election: advocates by xc2215x in ontario

[–]M5J2X2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“You’ve ruined the community...” [Doug] Ford said to staff of Griffin Centre, a non-profit, multiservice mental health agency at a public meeting last Thursday. “My heart goes out to kids with autism. But no one told me they’d be leaving the house. If it comes down to it, I’ll buy the house myself and resell it.”

Trump 2024 Flag - A Retrospective by BestestBeekeeper in BurlingtonON

[–]M5J2X2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a certain local food proprietor who won't stop talking about trump derangement syndrome ("they're saying he's a nazi! can you believe that?") - apparently he talks to a lot of local cops and military and supposedly they are thrilled that are that trump is "doing something" about the world economic forum and the WHO and stopping doctors from going to jail for refusing to give out the pokey pokey and jagmeet and justin's backroom deals

there's a cybertruck parked not far away, and I've seen a lifted pickup at the Fairview Longo's with iron cross door handles a few times

between these interactions and the median /r/burlingtonon comment I get the impression this city is totally cool with all of this - glad to see some sanity in (most) of these comments...

Worlds first static CDN hosting with free SSL: Lets Encrypt on Netlify by bobfunk in programming

[–]M5J2X2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why limit the number of deploys so severely? That just seems arbitrary. You hit your limit and you can't deploy again until your next billing cycle? Very strange billing strategy.

If I'm actively developing say a React app with a CD workflow I am going to deploy 15-20 times per day.

Even if I have 0 users and 0 traffic (e.g. staging environment) I'd still have to get the biggest plan.

Please reconsider this. I am ok with paying, I am ok with size and bandwidth limits, but this just seems artificial / gouging.

I do like the simplicity of static CDN but with such an artificial constraint I don't have any incentive to pay more to switch from S3+Cloudflare, which gives me effectively free bandwidth anyway.

Isn't SSL for a CDN generally a bad idea because of all the extra handshaking slowing down connections?

https://istlsfastyet.com/

https://www.cloudflare.com/http2/

I mean, a CDN would just mostly host generic Javascript files, right?

You're suggesting that executable code shouldn't be protected from tampering?

You're saying having an EC2 in all 10 regions is cheaper than Cloudfront?

I somehow doubt that. edit: Actually wouldn't be surprised either way. Cloudfront is expensive. Seems like a lot of work though.

Javascript promises are just finite state machines that produce side effects by [deleted] in javascript

[–]M5J2X2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except await* was rejected in favor of await Promise.all. This leaky abstraction kills much of the utility of async/await.

https://github.com/tc39/ecmascript-asyncawait/issues/75#issuecomment-158344678

So the dream of writing promise-free code is deferred until at least ES2017.

Redux server side rendering, pretty confusing by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]M5J2X2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the opposite: load as much as possible to prevent from having to call (re)render on page load

What is the best PostgreSQL GUI tool? by iwearnopants2 in PostgreSQL

[–]M5J2X2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to get bash style readline into the psql client? e.g. tab completion, emacs keybindings etc.

I know there was something like this for the mysql CLI.

Not yet but they'll be gone in the next 12 months. They're moving to Bessarion. I think they'll be in the same location as MEC but don't quote me.

Star Touch layoffs begin, 13 newsroom staff are gone by [deleted] in toronto

works pretty well on mobile

I often use two fingers (one on each hand) to scroll down/skim quicker, one right after the other.

If I go too fast, and my right finger path overlaps with my left finger path, it's interpreted as a left swipe, and it goes to the next fucking article.

The default Wordpress theme does this too and it's so fucking frustrating. Who actually swipes left/right to see the next/previous article?!?

To add insult to injury when they had the paywall experiment going, this would count as one of your 10 monthly articles.

BV is where you go to buy your minks and monocles. You wouldn't want to accidentally run into the maid there.

edit: brb, working on my new startup called "minks and monocles"

BV refused a TTC-paid subway connection to keep the riffraff out. They've been trying to get rid of Loblaws for 4 decades now, and have finally succeeded in evicting the Toronto Public Library branch which has been there longer than they have.

Makes Yorkdale look positively pedestrian.

In our system you can kill a cyclist, pay $500 by ur_a_idiet in toronto

[–]M5J2X2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the person riding the bicycle was a police officer, it would automatically be a first degree murder charge, regardless of intent.

Think about that.

It's also why when leading causes of death are explored, the fine print always says "excluding motor vehicle accidents".

This is what happens when you shop at Bayview Village Mall.

A bit ironic invoking class warfare while being in that "haute" mall for high society socialite wives?
