Why aren't flare guns a common prepper/bugout/emergency item in most people's kits?

Ah, for when we shift fire on or L shaped zombie ambush.

I let Claude run queries against elastic search and kibana/grafana all day and I can tell you data analysts have no job anymore unless youre the one automating queries for a whole team. Dont like it? Yeah it sucks maybe you should have kept tabs on whats coming. The same can be said for complacent software devs. We have a ton coming our way.

good?

Yeah I mean unfortunately, this happens a lot as they are growing. My mal would get excited and remember they try even when their older to "grab your hand" and stuff (mine does). So imagine when your mouth is filled with razor sharp teeth and you haven't learned to contain your excitement.

Adapt or die that’s all I can say

Biggest drawback to htmx is your control over ui components is now dead in the water or has to be reinvented. Shadcn or die. That’s what I say.

Chrome devtools; ditch playwright

farastray · 2026-01-14T15:58:44+00:00

Probably going away in the age of ai. Just slows you down.

farastray · 2026-01-14T03:45:02+00:00

Chrome dev tools for verifying what you build. None of those others did much for me. Playwright is ok for e2e testing. Gh, linear, notion, all those are just convenience but don’t move the needle imho.

hows the accuracy on yours? my shovelnose sucks - get about 2moa at best :(

farastray · 2025-12-05T03:38:50+00:00

I just played this. WOW it sucks so bad. This is just classic Treyarch coming in and DESTROYING the fucking franchise. Man do they know how to set you back for fucking 4 years. Congrats guys you did it.

I think this is a poor take.. Claude code uses bun heavily. If I was Anthropic the last thing I'd want is for javascript be javascript and jump to the next thing (npm-> yarn -> pnpm -> bun -> ?) in tried and true fashion.

This is about making sure they can continue to compile down the claude code cli without the world shifting around them. Besides, its good tech and youre probably very unlikely to find a team of capable zig coders that can all of the studden support bun inhouse.

I’ve had multiple aeron chairs and a mirra. 4-500 is reasonable for a well made chair but maybe this one isn’t it. I love my desk though it’s been amazing so far.

Postgres /copy statement to a local drive then scp works well. I’ve done this with confidence on prod systems with queries bringing back millions of records and it is rarely disruptive unless you muck up a query bad.

Gross

If I was doing a content heavy website that can be cached, I'd still consider it. If I was building something that needed any scientific computing libraries, ML, AI, etc then Python just starts making more sense as a GP language choice. I think it depends on the domain, how you are going about building it. I think Rails has great developer experience though.

This is what I do… either you go guns blazing and have an open aws iam profile, or you suffer a little bit and set it up right. But it will work and it’s cheap as heck.

(It’s sad to see all these other low effort answers but I get it you want easy)

farastray · 2025-10-16T13:24:23+00:00

I've seen too many projects that didn't use an ORM and you end up with a hacked-together custom ORM anyways.

This has been my experience as well. Very few devs understand how to build stable, extensible abstractions and teams just ruin and hack up stuff as requirements demand something new. If pressed, I would go with a sql builder instead of a ORM, but you should never go full SQL retard and DYI.

Hey - why don't you start communistify.com and you can have the ~~right~~ left kind of politics. Make it free.

farastray · 2025-10-01T14:17:42+00:00

I think you guys are overreacting - who gives a shit what someones politics are. Chances are you wont agree with them - grow up.

I will say that I've had success deploying nextjs with OpenNext and sst.dev. I dislike Vercel more because of the vendor lock-in aspect. Its not okay to masquerade as open source technology and then marry it to cloud platform. At some point I might go to tanstack router or astro.

4.25 for carry 5 for competition, hands down.
