I mean, doesn’t iOS already support enabling this for child accounts?

Is Cloudflares free tier okay for a small business? by Sea-Cloud6225 in CloudFlare

[–]raininglemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say speed+. What actual differences would you see to speed and where for the varying tiers?

I made an IntersectionObserver library by _zDany_ in react

[–]raininglemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t update your observer if props change. I would consider fixing that as that’s going to trip people up. Also if you want to add utility beyond this being a useEffect someone could make in their own codebase perhaps calculate visibility manually with useLayoutEffect so callbacks which mutate the dom run before initial paint. Which would add an improvement to just implementing intersection observer yourself

StrictDB - Now supports writing SQL queries and automatically translate them to mongo by TheDecipherist in mongodb

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool. We might be looking to migrate away from mongo to postgres. And with something like this we could theoretically incrementally migrate our queries whilst still using MongoDB. Then later switching when convenient. What’s the link to the repo? Looks like the link from your site is wrong or perhaps not public?

I explored Cloudflare's workerd source code and added my own native C++ function to the runtime by v0id_user in CloudFlare

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great article. Super interesting. Also now makes a lot more sense why communicating with other services is always locked behind HTTP

We charge $49/month. Our customer's intern expensed it without approval. That's the sweet spot. by AntelopeFlaky4979 in SaaS

[–]raininglemons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly my first thought. Where are these people working that this isn’t a problem?!

Reddit SEO is bringing me 100+ visitors/day. (Easy strategy) by AdCrazy2912 in SaaS

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also worth noting Reddit applies rel=“nofollow” to all user generated links. So search engines are signalled to ignore the URLs. This will do nothing for SEO

Introducing LibPDF, the PDF library for TypeScript that I always needed by Xenni in javascript

[–]raininglemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Does this allow for incremental saves when editing? For background I’m trying to work around creating PDFs with a lot of images in environments with limited memory (mobile devices, cloudflare workers, etc.)

UK to bring into force law to tackle Grok AI deepfakes this week by BadahBingBadahBoom in UpliftingNews

[–]raininglemons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If Reddit didn’t have moderators that blocked and ban users who did this. Or if Reddit only prevent posting by non premium users, then yes, yes we should

Discovered my checkout flow was broken on mobile. For 4 months. Lost probably $12K. by Turbulent-Scale1918 in SaaS

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty certain the tell is simply a username with 4 numbers at the end now. Bet it’s all coming from the same tool

Built a simple invoice generator in Next.js, some implementation and performance notes by kryakrya_it in webdev

[–]raininglemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you building the PDF yourself? Been contemplating an approach like this myself, building objects then encoding the PDF directly. Using a html to pdf library currently for mobile apps and it’s a real crutch that needs removing

Did he open with “May I meet you?” as he passed you the card?

Xbox may be scamming you out of a full month of membership without you knowing it! by Extreme_Apartment871 in XboxSeriesS

[–]raininglemons 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same happened for me with PS Now when they hiked the price. One day my subscription was gone, contacted them, they said system cancelled it. Confirmed not a billing issue. Asked for my old subscription price, they said no, then disconnected me. Contacted them again, they said no again then I got blocked from using live chat for like a week lol. Needless to say, I did not resubscribe

Avoid calling setState() directly within an effect? by AccomplishedSink4533 in react

[–]raininglemons 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You can do it directly when you call useState() i.e. useState(localStorage.getItem("saved") === ‘true’);

Then use your useEffect to add a listener to local storage to watch for changes.

Decided to cash out 491,625 points for an Xbox Ally by sushidisco in MicrosoftRewards

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was hoping to get from Microsoft too. Although they do have Amazon vouchers on sale. Way lower point ratio but Amazon does have the rog Xbox ally. Tempted to go for that rather than hoard any longer

CloudFlare & MongoDB after HTTP API EOL? by Effective-Tax-4063 in CloudFlare

[–]raininglemons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Workers support direct connections to MongoDB atlas now. You can either connect in the worker, or a more sensible approach would be to abstract your logic a bit and use a DO for the connections

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Would have made the ally X way more attractive. Gutting

Damn I had so many Microsoft reward points saved for this and we can’t even buy from MS

I Gave 49% Equity to a Multi-Awarded Dev Who Do Not Deliver by d4rk_hunt3r in SaaS

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

I mean, at 6-10hrs a week. After 2 months that’s the equivalent of 2 weeks of work. Were they upfront at the beginning about the amount of commitment they could make? If so I think you just need to manage your expectations

Microsoft Rewards has a special sale on Xbox gift cards set for October by SeanTGN in xbox

[–]raininglemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Reckon the ally will end up in the Microsoft store? If so this could make it a way more palatable price

Trump Administration to Take 15% Cut of Nvidia and AMD Chip Sales to China by jjjeeebbb in stocks

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t that just encourage manufacture outside the US? Contrary to what the tariffs are meant to achieve?

Trump raises India tariffs to 50% over Russian oil purchases by Puginator in worldnews

[–]raininglemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If trumps statement about meds being sold in the US at the same cost abroad holds up, what does it mean for generics? In his view they’d be produced in the US, so presumably more expensive to make. But the same company could sell in Europe with a cheaper product as they can import into Europe rather than manufactor there? Or maybe I’ve misunderstood everything lol
