typical dev: i'm gonna wire it up. dynamo db to ec2 to lambdas to nextjs to react to redux to graphql, and it'll only cost me $30+/mo to host this website
me: *living in the walls of michaelsoft, publishing web apps that cost nothing to run and nothing to use, because github forgot that github pages exists*
Attention Citizens:
The concept of "time off" is misleading.
What you think of as leisure is, in fact, mandatory recreation for overall increased productivity.
Failure to achieve maximum relaxation during relaxation hours is considered treasonous laziness.
Thank you for your compulsory leisure.

Be suspicious of anything that requires a cloud service to operate where the server software is not self-hostable. Especially one that costs over $1000 dollarydoos.
I run into trouble every time I try to use generative AI for something other than generating a vague outline or summarizing some content or translating from some text to another format of text. I just don't think it'll save us from doing the thinking and processing stuff that humans are best suited for. Else you'd spend more time trying to direct it than you would doing it yourself (assuming you could do it yourself I guess?) outside a few small tasks.
Maybe that's a good thing though?
Ok, a question for #database #dbms nerds. Many years ago I worked on a join order optimizer that used a heuristic formula to estimate the number of rows produced by an equijoin, based on the number of rows in the two tables being joined and the number of distinct values in the join keys. This formula came from an academic paper, but I can't remember what the formula was or find the paper. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Boosts appreciated...

I'm finally ready to release my desktop image dithering app, Dithertime! 🌟
It's more accurate, correct, and extensive than any other image dithering software out there. And it's fast too!
I've been working on it nights and weekends for a year, and I'm excited to have created a paid app for the first time.
