   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• Client-side semantic search for your static site

  The search box on the homepage now runs keyword, semantic, and hybrid search, with a toggle so you can compare and watch them disagree. Type pydub and flip to semantic mode to see it get the answer wrong; flip to hybrid to see it get it right again. The whole thing is a 4 MB lookup table, a tiny document index, and about 300 lines of dependency-free JavaScript, lazy-loaded only when you focus the search box so the... - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• How to Pass AI Costs to Customers Without Losing Them

  Start tracking costs from day one with a tool like Tokonomics. Start charging when AI costs exceed 15% of revenue or when you see a clear 10x+ variance between your lightest and heaviest users. Early-stage startups can absorb costs temporarily for growth, but set the expectation early that AI features have usage-based pricing. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• JavaScript still can't ship a full-stack module

  While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago

• inexplicable and unexplained things in quake 3

  Then I found the administrator of the aforementioned server on gametracker.com, a certain "hangglider"( https://www.gametracker.com/hangglider/ ), who unblocked me without answering my questions (I asked him in the most appropriate way possible,I can attach all the messages to you,what "rage quit" meant in my case,what I could do to prevent it from happening again and that if I had sometimes left some matches it...

• How do I fix the community server browser?

  I'm East Coast NA, and can only find 200+ ping EU servers. I've tried filtering by ping and my location but no luck. Looking up server IPs through gametracker.com is my only workaround ATM. Anyone else have this problem and no how to fix it? Source: over 3 years ago

• Server listings not working?

  After launching cs today about 3/4 of my favourited servers were gone. And even though it's friday the remaining ones were mostly empty. I then tried to find a few new ones via gametracker.com. Usually there are a lot of servers listed, even after applying filters. Source: over 3 years ago
