my two favorite langs are idris and crystal. i haven't ever yet used either. i do everything mainly in python, javascript, or c but i like the idea of idris as this mathy pure world and the crystal language has this nice logo. i plan to get around to using both eventually as soon as i hit a dead end with doing everything in python, javascript, or c.


i was playing around with it, neat how there was a counter strike 2 generator as well. the site feels polished, so polished that i felt like it was going to sell me something, maybe the "pro crosshairs" but crosshair codes for those were also available lol.

the only curiosity i have is how did you go about building the database? do the pro players share their crosshair codes normally or was it more like a reverse engineering process to recreate those


i dont know much about AWS but while I was waiting for team fortress 2 to install i read thru and this stood out to me:

> 2015 October 7

> Product (data migration)

> AWS launches Snowball, a physical appliance with 50 TB of storage and a Kindle on the side. Customers can get a Snowball for 10 days for $200, during which they can fill it with data and then ship it back to Amazon. The Snowball costs $15 for every additional day kept. This is the second generation of their data import/export hardware after a previous release in 2009

i wonder what kind of things people shipped around that required 50TB in physical storage. ten years later, 50TB still sounds like a lot today


i feel like i seen this before, i've always felt that it's interesting but i personally don't have much need for it. i get the idea of the desktop anywhere and the browser as an operating system concept but i just can't see myself needing this. i was really impressed with the window snapping, its something that i like to have everywhere without having to configure but i feel like i'm missing something else to this idea.
