@threepointone Cloudflare is one of the few platforms, especially at scale, that feels truly "cloud-native" as old as that term is.

I get the idea behind this. But my takeaway from this is that SDKs at large still have a quality issue and we haven't put enough resources as a community in raising the state of the art (value on top of OpenAPI, etc...) Knocking Bloated SDKs is super valid tho

These made me look at better auth again since it's been a while since I've worked on an Auth project and _gosh dang_ they have plugins for everything now. No excuse not to have good auth with all this. Only other plugin I'd maybe like to see now is an OpenFGA sync plugin.

Better Auth is joining Vercel. Vercel shares our commitment to keeping auth open source, framework and platform agnostic. Joining forces gives us more resources and room to focus on building the framework that much of the community relies on. Together, we’ll also be able to

Pardon my french, but this feels like...utter horse shit? _Maybe_ there's a legit worry that being code open will let bad actors find holes quicker, but this just feels like a deceptive way to close source "business features". Taking pot shots at open source on the way out too.

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security

@bertyJobbo @_nullnes @rick01 I guess that's my confusion. I use the Polling env flag with the configuration provider and config maps in production today? It works just fine. Would be nice if could use mod times, but I've yet to have it be an issue.

@bertyJobbo @_nullnes @rick01 Doesn't it work? You just have to use the polling file watcher?

Today we ship Aspire 13! Why 13? It’s a number that’s bigger than 10 but less than 14. Seriously though, Aspire 13 marks the start of a new chapter for the project: the beginning of its polyglot era. We’re expanding beyond .NET, bringing the same model-driven, code-centric experience to Python, JavaScript, and beyond. Check out the what's new on the new site: aspire.dev/whats-new/aspi… #aspire @aspiredotdev

@bacek @elephantum @brankopetric00 Unless you're planning crazy scale day 1, half those you can install as addons with the defaults and let it burn. Custom coredns? S3 mount point? Almost every observability provider packs a standard package for K8s and eks? Of course it's gonna be complicated if you make it that

@ButterflyC32490 @SenTinaSmith Two judges and the federal USDA website before the Trump Admin edited it said it was legal, but sure, let's just lie.

@jrubenkincaid @ColinAllredTX Probably strike deals with countries to export beef that actually want it (and not net exporters like Aus), not tariff industrial inputs that raise prices on american ranchers, and securitizing meat monopolies instead of letting corpos get free reign to merge and strangle prices.

@geocacher62 @RepCasar Very convincing argument, if you ignore Covid supply chain impacts, Ukraine, and other everything else that boosted inflation.

That it took the White House 9 months to figure this out is economic malpractice.

@CLDennhardt @PattyMurray Now we're just getting into semantics. Yes, the CR is continuing all expenses at current levels, which includes BBB adjustments. The BBB did indeed pass both chambers. On razor thin margins, with not even all republicans signing on.

@CLDennhardt @PattyMurray The Democrat demands are urgent because in a month, rates and number of other cuts lock in for the next year. If they aren't addressed now, millions will see bill hikes or loose care.

@aquanut189 @CLDennhardt @PattyMurray The House did the bare minimum and has basically said they will refuse to do anymore. Saying it's done is literally what I'm calling out in admitting they don't want to compromise.

@CLDennhardt @PattyMurray Senate Democrats have _also_ been calling out Thune and Republicans Senate leadership, and offering amendments. This is not blame shifting, it's calling out the whole of Republicans leadership that needs to engage to prevent these cuts and compromise.
