If you're going to replace human support with chat bots, then at least give them the power to issue refunds or fix actual issues.
A chat bot that just regurgitates the FAQ is not useful to anyone.

Stumbled across an interesting "feature" in PostgreSQL. When paginating ordered sets, where the ordering is non-deterministic, records can be repeated across pages or missing completely. This is due to the internal optimisations. I wonder how many apps are unknowingly affected by this.

They also have a new scam - they'll charge you for speeding, based on their GPS device in the car. No police ticket needed. Even better. - repeatedly during one ride. Endless possibilities for errors (both GPS and map data) which you can't dispute anyhow. It's all a trap to keep your deposit.

@operagx.gg seems like an interesting browser, but no option to set @kagi.com as a search engine (or any custom search engine BTW). Back to FF I guess.

I've been trying to get back a deposit I gave to 123 Transporter almost 3 months ago.
For my Austrian friends, this company are running a scam and should be avoided.
Thinking take some wheels from their vans and hold them hostage until they return the money LOL.

46 lines of config (ts) for @tailwindcss.com v3 == 560 lines of config (css) for v4 🤔

Trying to migrate some projects to @tailwindcss.com v4, but I don't see how even lightly complex custom configs can work?
I guess we now have to write some custom pre-processor to turn typescript config to css config before every build, or am I missing something here?

Surprised to find that nested routes are not reliable in react-router.
Which of the following routes should /item/1/edit match?
item.$id.edit.tsx
item.$id.tsx

My wife (not a technical person), just gave me a great UX demo of adding a new appointment in Apple Calendar vs MS Outlook. "Why does such a simple thing take 3 times longer in Outlook and why is it so much more difficult than it needs to be?"
