It feels great ngl - wouldn’t it be awesome to just have portable / fashion-friendly IV fluids and oxygen?

Worse, no-one will tell you this when you get into product. They just want more cannon fodder to throw over the top

All good!

It’s an integrated publishing platform for the #1 game engine SDK in the industry, I wouldn’t be so dismissive. And everything else about implementation is commoditized: storage, client tech, payments.

Why not run a store?

Fortnite kids go there first, and there's a lot of them. I would assume if it didn't make money they wouldn't still run it?

4/ boring white vino for boring whites? Italian Pino grigio
5/ Bonus round: house party wine? Italian Lambrusco!

Finally, a simple mind-map of common purchases to a particular region and style, based on my system:

1/ sparkling wine? Dry Spanish Cava or mid-priced prosecco
2/ light reds / "pizza wine"? Italian, especially southern Italy
3/ Steak wine? $25-30 on older vintage Argentinean / Chilean wine

Recently I started to formally define my advice for these $15-20 wine purchases for friends, something I've started to think of as "global budget wine macroeconomics". So this image is a screenshot with alt text of this, copied out of signal.

They may be tempted to buy something local but in their prices range, and I think this is generally a bad idea. 3 large corporations make most of the low cost wine in BC, and most of it is, to put it politely, overpriced for what it is.

I live in BC, and we have great wine in BC, especially from smaller producers who love the land and care about quality. This is also almost certainly expensive wine, and when I ask my friends what their budget is, they usually say "oh, you know, $15-20". Good BC wine is expensive!

No idea, I was just using widevine as an example of a problem we ran into years ago creating firefox builds on windows with ARM processors

Nor should you have to be as a browser user. It seems insane that chrome / edge works and brave doesn’t , I guess maintaining a chromium fork isn’t all free lunches and golf trips

Yeah I assume you’ve seen this ( lengthy ) bug with lots of flags and mixed success on various gpus:

github.com/brave/brave-...
Unable to playback HEVC · Issue #40101 · brave/brave-browser

Support for these kinds of features is often provided by a third party, for example Firefox relies on codecs from google called “widevine” to decode video streams like Netflix that have DRM added to it.

Looks like HEVC on Linux has a big exposure to gpu drivers?

This was confirmed as a Gecko bug and has a workaround that wfm in nightly:

I’ve used spec-kit from GitHub a bit and like the structured process of defining user stories but also the “stack” you want it to use. An mcp connection to your database can’t hurt either

I really like the features of pglite ( live queries, sync ) but it’s wasm so I imagine trade-offs
