Insufficient mock data in the staging environment? Like no BYOIP prefixes at all? Since even one prefix should have shown that it would be deleted by that subtask...

From all the recent outages, it sounds like Cloudflare is barely tested at all. Maybe they have lots of unit tests etc, but they do not seem to test their whole system... I get that their whole setup is vast, but even testing that subtask manually would have surfaced the bug

I recently tried out https://daisyui.com/ (CSS only components, depends on tailwind) and so far I really like it.

It also highlights how far browser have come with new features such as dialogs, which I always implemented with (a lot of) JavaScript in the past

StackOverflow always wanted less low-quality questions, which is now the case. Whether they still receive some high-quality ones...

But I'm sure the website still receives a lot of views, as it still is highly ranked in Google.

Yes the start menu is now very slow with the web stuff enabled.

If you disable it, it becomes snappy again. Pretty crazy to me that Microsoft allows the default option to be that slow

Or do not use caching at all until you need it

Creator of Kreya here, thanks for mentioning us! If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them

Switzerland has this and for basically every other job as well. Apprenticeships are very common here, I did mine as a "programmer"

I'm one of the creators of Kreya [1]. We were one (or the) first to support a fully-offline, git-centric local data storage in this space.

Kreya is privacy-first since its first commit five years ago, since we were fed up with Postman and Insomnia. Happy to answer any questions

This shouldn't be a problem with Windows 11 anymore? AFAIK, the "evergreen" version of WebView2 is installed by default.

Developing GUI applications for Linux is also a huge pain. Developers not familiar with Linux need to learn so many things...

What is X11, Wayland, GNOME, KDE, d-bus, application ids, portals, etc.

Then once you have a working application, users request having it distributed as .tar.gz, snap, flatpak, you name it. Then dependencies are missing on some Linux distribution or there are random bugs with Nvidia graphics cards.

Compare that to developing for Windows, where most things "just work"

The train station in St. Gallen (Switzerland) has one too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Binary_clock_Swiss_rail...

We are working on snapshot testing for Kreya, expected to come in August. You might want to check it out :)

this will make scripting with C# so much easier

The UI inside the webview is written in Angular, everything else in C#.

More on the stack and our initial issues can be read here: https://kreya.app/blog/how-we-built-kreya/#cross-platform-gu... (from 2021)

We are using system webviews for https://kreya.app (not Tauri, but a custom implementation) and the platform differences are seldom a problem...

Polyfills fix most of the things and we are running automated end to end test on Linux, which catches most of the issues.

IMO the most difficult thing is figuring out how far the users are behind with their webview version, mostly on Linux and macOS. Windows has done thinga right with their WebView2 implementation

I bought an Epson EcoTank five years ago and am very happy with it. The ink is dirt cheap.

The only downside is that you have to print something every 2-3 months, otherwise the quality degrades noticeably for the next few printouts. But after that it has always returned to normal quality for me.

One can use Kreya for a GUI version

Thanks for the info, that's probably the way to go for now

Putting a closed-source application on Flathub is such a pain. Users of our app even request Flatpak support aggressively [0]. Yet uploading pre-built binaries, which is common for most package managers, isn't supported out of the box by Flathub. A direct upload option would simplify so many things...

I have an EcoTank and print infrequently, clogging has never been an issue. I once didn't print in half a year and it didn't clog.

Printing quality goes down after not printing for a long time, but the automated "cleaning" (or whatever it's called) program solves that in a minute
