@wintonARK Virgin plastic is cheaper because extraction is subsidized (gas/oil) and externalities aren’t priced, not because recycling uses more energy. LCAs consistently show recycled PET/HDPE cut emissions versus virgin. The real issue is structural: we designed plastics and policies that

Add logging to my kitchen-sink WordPress plugin with handlers for error_log() and Query Monitor. Nice to have info/debug level data while developing and warnings+ on PROD. How are you handling this in your plugins?

After sunsetting a VPS that was used for backup of other VPSes, I decided to have restic send everything to a restic-rest instance (as docker container) on my homelab NAS over wireguard. Amazing how restic can backup to so many destinations (s3, sftp, http) over so many

"Go serverless" they said. "No infrastructure to manage" they said. Now you have: - 94 Lambda functions - Cold start issues you can't fix - Timeouts you can't control - Debugging that's a nightmare - CloudWatch logs that cost $800/month - Vendor lock-in so deep you can't leave

Did you know that HTTP3 is already supported by 92% of browsers and can offer 10-20% performance improvements (mostly to LCP) especially for mobile users? Nginx added support for HTTP/3 two years ago in version 1.25.0 so it is available in most recent Linux distributions. Just

Spotify seriously needs a redesign. The UX is a mess and I never know where to find what. It is random cards everywhere. Has anyone done exploration around that?

Bun getting acquired by Anthropic is bigger than it looks. Bun had huge adoption but zero revenue and limited runway. Meanwhile, Claude Code depends on Bun for its single-file executable and future sandboxed code execution (and the latter part is probably one of the biggest

Turns out HTTP Host header can have a trailing dot (totally valid too) and nginx will happily forward it to php-fpm making $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] have a trailing dot which then fails all WP multisite domain lookups... First time seeing this on a fresh nginx + php 8.4 setup.

How do you profile @PHPStan runs for performance issues? It appears to be spawning a child process even if maximumNumberOfProcesses is set 1 which makes the core logic invisible to XDebug profiler.

Trying out the new VS Code fork from Google. Requires Google login to actually use it... not sure I like this direction.
