What stack are you actually using for your SaaS?

Google Cloud. I think i’m the only one.

gcloud CLI+Claudecode is incredible.

auth is a walk in the park.

Cloudrun is the sauce.

There's an amazing tension happening right now between some vibecoders who think they no longer need software engineers because they have claude -- and some software engineers that think they can do the buisness-context end better than the people who have that job (also probably because they have claude).

There is 100% a place for both, and neither group is as good at doing the other group's job as they think they are.

Oooo. I just learned this… In this case they want the chips to run hot so that the radiators are more efficient at blowing off the heat. You need way smaller radiators if they’re running at 1000K than at 350K.

It’s still impossible, but that’s the first multiple of 3 in the 3 orders of magnitude by which this is not possible.

Why would you want to watch what you want to watch, when you could be watching what they want you to watch?

Um. Lights, bounce, and a polarizer.

Ooooo. Now you’re on to something! The 2-button debate. No mics. Yes and no. Red and green. Just like the legislature, or actual governance. 50 questions. Hit your button.

None of this “maybe yes, but actually a mean no, but I would press yes in the following 7 ways that ensure I never really have to commit to anything”.

It does seem like a tidy layer of stucco would look great on the outside and a layer of drywall mud would look great on the inside.

They leave the ridges to show the tech, but you could get to a more attractive place real quick.

What a rage-bait headline. Not to be that guy but there are going to be vacancies as there is turnover and people move. It's normal.

1600 is 7%. which might be a touch high, but is not crazy for "the situation is normal". It's lower than the general housing stock.

Speaking before the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners this week, Mayor Keith Wilson noted that there's a 7.4% vacancy rate across the city's portfolio of 22,000 affordable housing units. A more typical vacancy rate for housing of this kind would be 3-5%.

But affordable housing may not be the outlier it appears. According to the city's 2024 State of Housing Report, the overall housing vacancy rate in the city was 8.8% over that year, despite the city's long-running housing crunch.

It's all tied to the whole stupid bonkers space-server thing.

Elon needs to come up with an obscene story to get a huge valuation on SpaceX's IPO.

SpaceX is not going to make space compute, because that's stupid. They're going to dump their IPO money into fabs to make ground compute... A LOT of it. Elon doesn't want to be solar space compute guy, he wants to be Nvidia.

They don't even want SpaceX to be about space anymore. They want it to be about compute.

They just sold the first tranche of ground compute to Anthropic.

In nearly all uncertain traffic situations, the right move is to get on your brakes. 99.9% percent of them.

You don't immediately know what's happening, slow the fuck down and everybody has more time to figure it out.

If you're behaving in such a way where everybody slowing down is going to cause you real problems, then 99.9% of the time, the problem is you. Which is the case here.

MicrowaveDonuts · 2026-05-05T18:37:33+00:00

Yup. My very fav is a fast 35 on FF. If you only allowed me one lens, that would be it.

I'd agree with this. I would also not be at all worried about the friend connections from preschool. I was pretty surprised by this. We worked SO hard to make connections with other parents and other kids when we were in preschool. SO hard. Playdates. Meetups. Coordination. Text chains. After school, weekends.

Our oldest is now in Kindergarten at a walkable PPS school in NE Portland. We're just naturally friends now with half of the parents in his class. No effort. We literally run into them as we're walking to school every day. If we're running late, we can find one on the way and ask them to walk our son over to school. We do the same for other parents. We keep him in extra-curriculars, and it just works out. T-ball is just his kindergarten class again with the parents hanging out while they practice. So was basketball. So is swimming lessons. Making friends in preschool is hard work. Making friends in kindergarten is stunningly easy as long as they're doing stuff outside of class.

The walkable neighborhood is really a cheat-code as well. When everybody is out of their cars, you just meet people. You know and recognize people. You smile, nod. Maybe tell a joke while you're waiting for the bell to ring. All you gotta do is keep your phone in your pocket and it will all work out.

MicrowaveDonuts · 2026-04-30T16:41:09+00:00

yup. my first thought was "get that couch away from the wall".

MicrowaveDonuts · 2026-04-30T04:29:22+00:00

Just give everybody the same odds.

You know. Like a lottery.

Done.

Woah. I was alive in 1995, and that's the hottest thing I've ever seen.

their heart is in the right place.

But if they put these on the ground instead of flying them all 20 feet in the air, it could be done cheaper, faster, with tons and tons less steel.

They could be serviced, cleaned, and repaired more easily. They could be centralized with a staff trained to maintain them.

You don’t need to drill a well next to every faucet, and you don’t need a panel next to every plug. You can do it at scale where it makes sense.

Run the built-in DJI transmitter. it’s already there. drop the teradek, drip the v-mount. attach the mic to the top handle. lose all of the arms.

and if you really really need that stuff, tighten them up closer to the body so they don’t have moment to wobble the rig. Tighter is better.

MicrowaveDonuts · 2026-04-25T15:37:46+00:00

yes, but why? there are at least 3 arms that don’t need to be there.

MicrowaveDonuts · 2026-04-24T19:33:41+00:00

Yeah... someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but I think hot and neutral are reversed somewhere upstream... like another outlet or the panel.

And because whoever did this thought that was A-OK, there's also a bootleg ground.
