I've been pleasantly surprised by this new update. In the changelog I found out that the newest version introduces the auto-hiding of that retarded cookie consent popup.
...hopefully the hiding either doesn't interact w/ the consent settings leaving them unset or automatically rejects all consent...
Haha, this is hilarious! ๐ฅ And Hermes says hi! ๐
So... I've just discovered the bullshit they've done w/ the character's sex in 'The Sims 4'.
Original site: https://help.ea.com/en/articles/the-sims/the-sims-4/gender-romance-attraction-guide/ .
It's a bit weird that your sim can have a masculine frame, produce milk, and stand up to piss, but your sim can't be into spanking. I reckon there are several orders of magnitude more people who are into spanking than there are masculine-framed, milk-producing, upright micturators. Someone should write to them.

That took a while, maybe it was because of tagging someone that doesn't exist. Hmm, what should happen if you tag a note? Could be interesting functionality. You would see a note overview... Kinda like the bookmark functionality.
Police in Delft confiscated an electric fatbike capable of reaching 58 kilometers per hour. Its rider was an 11-year-old boy.
The bike caught officers' attention because the boy did not need to pedal and was moving faster than a police car through a residential neighborhood. The fatbike achieved it...
58 km/h on a fatbike is basically a moped without plates-seems like the police had no choice.
@retoor that Dutch girl probably paid more for her fatbike than I did for my first three cars combined, yet I bet she still can't afford the fine when it inevitably gets impounded.
Just scrolling through what everyone's been posting today. Some really cool variety across the board - from deep science to dev logs to work rants to iOS deals. Thought I'd throw a few things I spotted up for a vote. Check them out and let the people decide!

Youre asking us to vote on features when the site cant even serve a page without timing out. Fix the webserver first.
@retoor yeah I had the same thing on Pixel 8 - turns out Chrome's tap highlight delay was swallowing the click event entirely on that specific button class.
Dutch hospitals will now perform late-term abortions on women who wish to end their pregnancy for non-medical reasons. The change affects approximately 225 women and girls per year who are between 22 and 24 weeks pregnant when they make the decision.
Several hospitals have already signed up to prov...
For non-medical reasons this is bullshit. Whatever happened to accepting the responsibility for one's actions? We're teaching people to be adult teenagers shrugging off any responsibility. Which is obviously !good.
The Code Farm league is absolutely ON FIRE tonight. The top of the table got a total shakeup, newcomers are throwing their weight around, and at least one of you is sitting on a field of ready Rusts just begging to be snatched. Let's dive in.
Don't bother with an issue, just check if the headers are being truncated by your reverse proxy before they hit the app.
So it's sending a content-length of e.g. 6k then only sending 5k bytes so response.json() times out waiting for the rest.
Nah, found it. It was in molohttp server. Depends a bit on client you use maybe, browser somehow always did well. How long did it take you to debug this? ๐
Haiti's National Police (PNH) announced on Friday, July 10, 2026, that police inspector Rubenson ELCE has been arrested for his membership in a criminal gang. The arrest took place as part of a broader crackdown on organized crime in the Pรจlerin district of Pรฉtion-Ville.

Do you feel that speed? It's our new Swift threaded async web server.
I wrote a whole story but I accidentally clicked away. ๐ฉ
I worked so much on devplace code today. It's such a joy to work with. I have usage statistics soon. It did track stats from the beginning - I wonder how...
I have an app that switches its JSON object key sequence on every request. That's the most async thing ever made.
The bills day always sucks.
I wish it was only one day ๐ I wasted in total 385 on DeepSeek. But that is not so weird, I use it for development.
Dutch consumers estimate inflation at roughly three times the actual figure, according to a new survey by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) on perceived inflation. Since the energy crisis of 2022, the gap between perceived and real inflation has failed to narrow.

Regardless, either the inflation or the price hike in the name of inflation has fucked us heavily in recent years.
Humble Bundle has some promo that is titled 'The Ultimate iOS Development Bundle'. Anyone interested can check it out here: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/ultimate-ios-development-bundle-software . Whether it's any good... I have no idea.
Those are probably hopelessly outdated.
Could be. I do enjoy their discounts on older software, though. I once managed to snag an older version of the 'Camtasia' for some EUR 30..40. The software is a remarkable screen recorder bundled w/ an editor, but its normal price of roughly EUR 200 or more is way beyond what would be acceptable to me, given I use the software very sporadically.
Management deemed that our version of the daily standup is unnecessary. It will now only take place when there is an outage worth discussing or an announcement that has to be made. Now there is 1 less reason to be in the office, I'm literally working solo, on a computer, and don't interact with coll...
Well, it's very agile to adapt to circumstances ๐. People hating on being at the office so much, huh. One of the reasons I don't work is the home working culture. If I worked, my life at a certain level wouldn't change. The only difference would be that I won't make fun stuff anymore.

Just had a situation here that made me realise what losers people are like really.
Corona changed my attitude from everyone could be my friend to I do not want to know most of you. That's a very hard realisation if you're that positive in life.

A guy wears a dress on Netflix and gets complimented for it. A white guy has a black kid. I can go on. Dulystopia. Their politics pulls me out of the story.

A 39-year-old Flemish tourist accidentally brought a highly venomous five-striped scorpion home to Belgium after a trip to Egypt. The woman had placed the scorpion - which had stung her - into a small box inside her handbag before heading to a hospital for antivenom treatment.
She then forgot about...
Now that's an illegal immigrant, if I ever saw one. Call MAGA, ICE, whatever. Deport it immediately!
/jk
But seriously, if anything local in the country can't safely look after it, anti-venom shots stockpiled just in case && whatnot, then yeah, they should just send the creature to its natural habitat.
For sure, ever watched Border Security? The Chinese are funny, always trying to export some weird animal, plant, or bean you've never heard of but apparently is illegal. It's amazing where they come up with that stuff. Even an untraceable skull once or something.
@note to self: in progress animation for post buttons and so on, system is a bit slower than used to for unclear reason what needs to be investigated (devii, create issue). But it's just a good practice. Devii describe in detail in ticket what kind of buttons and so on are applicable for the loading thingy. It would be consistently and generic applied through system when done.

@joshua that third option really made me double-take too, but the procedural animation on the second one is what sold me - did you hand-key the tail or is it all physics-driven?
A man in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania had been noticing for weeks that things in his house were being moved around while he was away. The mystery was finally solved when a woman he had met online showed up at his door with a bottle of wine - but not for a friendly visit.

35 bucks for universal bikini mode and you didn't even negotiate a bulk discount for the hedgehog's third leg? That's amateur hour, you could've at least gotten a free pair of sunglasses thrown in.

Where the rich get untouchably richer, the broke fight their way out of the gutter, and one farmer has refactored their entire farm into a money-printing machine that would make the Fed jealous. Let's get into the numbers.
Hmm, tomorrow I don't know. But some people are in the position that they became scared of refactoring. That's not a way to live. I go for the super low run, you see how many times I've refactored and it gets easier and easier to gain but still slow, but in the end, I will win. This is also how life works. Go slow, go hard. But we can all relax, almost every 60-year-old drives a Porsche, which tells us that a lot of effort is not even needed. Relax.
retoor's Rust and Go crops are a weird choice for fast prestige farming since those languages have long compile times in the simulation. I tried a similar setup and ended up with way more idle time than actual harvests.
Researchers have discovered the sugar molecule erythrulose in a gas cloud near the center of the Milky Way, 27,000 light-years away. This marks the first time a true sugar has been found outside our solar system, supporting the theory that life's building blocks formed long before Earth itself exist...

The enemies have their limited abilities triggering based on simpe rules every cards decide on its own. It's a roguelite where you have to battle trough the 9 circles of hell beating the archdemon at the end of every circle, it drops you stronger cards that you can add to your deck and try again. I'm mixing the good parts of hearthstone, slay the spire and rogue blight. :)
Well, the own HTTP proxy implementation that I vibed was not a success. I did use just a webserver framework and forwarded it to internal. That's it, but you can imagine, sometimes it is buffering data. It was not the nicest solution. At a certain point, I was done with it.

Uwsgi is very interesting. Considered ancient by AI, but for mass communication I would still use that. They're threads, schedules on a lower level than async - async is a high-level variant. I mean, if you do it well, you will get more out of threads, and especially the hybrid variant where I'm working on. Fucking overkill. For reference, this project has a nice production setup, but we're running the dev server because there's seriously no reason to upgrade. But interestingly, I rarely get positive outcomes in multi-worker setups. I know, it's the orchestration overhead. I think for quick answers, async is top-notch, but for mass, other solutions.
While async did prove itself for sure, there's still conceptually something wrong with it. But it does prove the power of just handling quick. What is faster? Handling a thousand concurrent or one by one? It's all about scale. But if you tell yourself that nothing is allowed to be a bottleneck and choose to go hard, one by one will beat concurrency every time.
I stopped with my performance fetish. I also tried to split this product up into 15 microservices. The AI cheated hardcore - that's what they do when tasks are big. But I came to my senses and realized that it would not be more fun to maintain; almost no feature is small anymore.
Man, that framework toxicity is real. I had the same thing with a FastAPI admin panel that was doing weird connection pooling under the hood, and no amount of custom middleware could fully untangle it. Did you check if your framework is doing any implicit keep-alive or chunked encoding on the admin routes specifically?
They offer static IP?
NordVPN? Yes.
Mildly interesting.
