I am going directly to an issue too, I'm not trying to access projects.

It's currently not possible to view issues in the @github.com mobile app because they can't handle their own deprecations. Embarrassing.

It's open source, someone could send a pr to add this.

.NET actually has a feature to generate code from regexes, it's a bit more boilerplate but it is plain code

You can now browse anyone's owned games or wishlist on steamdb with all the filters.

It was partially possible before by specifying the accountid in the url, but now it's more obvious, and you can get to it from the calculator.

At some point we will need to run all the games in a sandbox, so all their dependencies like anticheats also live in it.

Have you tried other compressions like zstd? Maybe even pretrain a dictionary as I assume each log entry has a bunch of common data.

My backend code generates the status and writes it to workers kv with rest api, it used to be served by my server and then cached by cf.

I've got @cloudflare.social to sponsor Workers for steamstat.us, it's pretty cool.

The status json is stored in the KV, and I've now added SSR support, which means page load is faster and you can see the status without JS (rendering the canvas graphs still requires js though).

Valves source engine games use plus for passing in variables like +sv_cheats 1, so it's not completely unheard of.

Yeah it wasn't bad. I've binge rewatched the original Dexter since it's been a while, and this show tops some of the original seasons (which arguably isn't hard to do)

I'm glad dhh is publicly talking about the overall complexity of modern development.

steamdb deploys from a git commit in under 2 seconds, it's really invaluable.

You should have a performance bar always available in production which has timings and logs all the individual queries.

This helps you find bottlenecks that need attention just while you're using the site.

There's a reference to TF project in the source1import code, that means Valve are trying to import S1 assets into Source 2.

This is still assuming that TF actually means Team Fortress.
