I've had mine in the default target retirement funds of the provider (Fidelity / Empower / Vanguard) from different employers. After seeing how much of the fund is invested in bonds (10% for Vanguard) despite the long…

I've been buying Nuun but am curious to know what products others have settled on, especially after finding out Nestle owns Nuun now. Or if you make your own, how's that been?

I'm building a desktop app with flutter and want to allow for plugins written in python. I'm planning on using protobuf to define the API and writing a utility package in Python that a plugin would use to define its…

Frameworks like Svelte and Solidjs do their work at compile time to produce an application that requires minimal runtime framework code. Why can't the same be done for existing React code? I would imagine that a good…

I'm curious how confident others feel about the code in a private repo not being leaked somehow by using copilot. Eg. by having it used as training data

I just paid for a VPS with OVHCloud in order to host a webapp and a Postgres db. I'm capable enough to ssh in and get things running, but I don't have any sysadmin experience so I'm likely to make rookie mistakes and…

I'm working on a webapp that I'd like to get sound effects for and not sure on the best approach. There seem to be a lot of freely available sound effects to be found on freesound.org or zapsplat, but there a thousands…

I have some money in an Ally HYSA but wondering if it's worth switching to Wealthfront, SoFi, Betterment, or some other online savings account with a higher interest rate. At the time of writing, Ally's saving rate is…

Over time I've found it to be much more difficult to get meaningful work done on my project without having some sort of plan for the work to be done. I'm currently trying Monday.com and have tried Trello in the past but…

I'm considering trying to give my home office a nice aroma and looking for ideas on how to do that. I'm interested to hear both about potential approaches as well as recommendations for scents to try. So far I'm…

Assuming you've already bootRun or compiled once and are starting the app again, what's your startup time? I'm currently working on an app where it's taking ~30 seconds to get started and wondering what the lower bound…
