   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.

• Fixing Delicate Cache Mismatches in a Brownfield SPA: A Pragmatic Solution

  On DEV (powered by the open-source Forem codebase), we have a hybrid architecture that blends Rails server rendering, Fastly edge caching, and lightweight client-side navigation (via InstantClick). This setup delivers sub-100ms page transitions, but partial page swaps combined with aggressive edge caching create delicate deployment challenges. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• Building the flagship (3): a packaged UI library, i18n, and one-command Docker

  Parts 4 and 5 showed the flagship's auth and its live grid. This one is about reuse: the app is built almost entirely from packaged components, and this is how you'd build yours. - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• Claude Code Attempted 752 /proc/*/environ Reads. 256 Succeeded. Codex: 0.

  Per-syscall interception is the layer that closes this gap. Grith sits between the agent process and the kernel, scoring every operation before it executes - not what the agent claims to be doing, but what it actually does. The process census, the credential file opens, the MCP initialisation, the network connections: all of it is visible, all of it is scored, and any of it can be blocked by policy without... - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

• Three model calls, and none of them reads a price

  Plinkie is built by Business Data Solutions, a Dutch consulting and training firm that helps organisations put their data to work. This system was built by one person in ten days, runs in two fully separate Google Cloud projects, and costs under $2 per night to operate. The infrastructure is OpenTofu, the services are Python 3.13, and the site is Next.js. - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

• Israel stated that this is their 9/11. So do they mean this is a false flag operation done by Israeli intelligence and military agencies to go to war with Iran.

  "9/11:Israel did it"wikispooks.com The Mossad and Israelis are masters of false flag attacks and apparently have been doing them for the past 70 years or more. In the case of the Hamas attacks they probably had some intelligence of their coming but decided on LIHOP to use the aftermath of the attacks to devastate Gaza and kill Palestinian children.

• has anyone else ever gotten an order from a “restaurant” that was in a house?

  LMAO. The truth hurts. Alex Jones was right about most things, except Israel. That's why nobody in the truth community respects him anymore. wikispooks.com. Source: over 5 years ago

• I can only participate in /r/psychonaut when I'm stoned. I'm not stoned right now, so the content will probably be shite.

  I think woo woo has more to offer than /r/rationalpsychonaut gives it the credit for. Not like crystal healing and spirits, but more like lucid dreaming and synaesthesia. After all the CIA reckons that remote viewing holds potential for truth. Anyone heard of https://wikispooks.com/ ? I found it recently and all I know is that spooks are CIA agents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Tropes is helpful for that too.... Source: over 5 years ago
