The statement ("No nazi bullsh*t") is an uninformed political slogan directed at all non-left-wing opinions. There's a lot we all must learn from the history of Nazis. Or the history of the USA (genocide of the Native America

If you're happy with Helix, do nothing, it you find yourself missing features, try this: https://lazyvim-ambitious-devs.phillips.codes/ I love Helix and used it a bit, but the lack of plugins (and thereby features) mad

Sharding (huge data and local distribution, even worldwide) and HA by retaining serializable transactions. Possibly easier to operate. The downsides are: - slower - Postgres (if it can handle the amount of data, which is very much on proper

Neon doesn't horizontal scale of writes. Just like Aurora doesn't. Also, not all alternatives listed are ACID compliant with serializable transactions like CockroachDB is.

That is a valid concern, see what happened with Redis or MySQL. But I think (while valid) it's very unlikely. Postgres can't be "bought". A company would need to start building an own version and make it better than the

It's a surprising and very welcome change. Most will benefit. If you have more than $10M revenue, why on earth would you run the limited open core version of CochroachDB just to save some $1K-$10K (which is about the enterprise license

It'll be interesting how well this works out in practice. I don't know how they modified the persistence layer of PG, but I could imagine that there are limitations compared to running PG in a docker container. SQLite doesn't

Damn, I want this hardware. No thanks to anything else coming from Google (Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix ...). Have you noticed how they improved their Youtube recommendations in the last year? Creepy, how well it works. Unfortunately, al

I had a bit FOMO not using TMUX. But WezTerm and a handful of keybindings for creating tabs, panes, new windows and moving around solved that for me.

That's why Typescript is my hammer, unless I need a jack hammer, which is Rust. With Deno and Typescript I get an even more versatile toolbox than with Go. And what's even more important to me, Typescript is safer and more ergonom

Yes, many aren't aware of that. If nodes webserver performance is not enough, you could always use uwebsocktsjs or hyperexpress with node.

I like Bun a lot, but Deno is (still) the more mature, stable, capable (e.g. stable workers, http2) and depending on the use-case more performant option (V8 > JSC). DX and tooling is top-notch. Deno can perform typchecking, btw. They bun

A central Postgres (RDS) and a local SQLite are pretty for different use cases. You can't compare it.

They could ask during install whether silent installation of LSPs should be done or whether Zed should ask explicitly for every LSP. With Zed, I have another issue. I don't understand which niche it is trying to fill. The advertising s

If you don't know Rust yet, you should be careful choosing it just because of what strangers write on the internet. The learning curve is steep and the productivity much worse compared to GC languages unless you're an experienced

If you don't need NPM modules, Deno is pretty nice. There's a Deno specific ecosystem (e.g. DB drivers) that is working fine, but of course you're limited compared to the huge NPM ecosystem.

Deno added Node compatibility later on. So while Deno itself (JS which is V8 anyway and the native Deno APIs like http) is probably stable (it is used as serverless runtime, e.g. from Supabase, of course Deno itself and Netlify IIRC), the N

I've done a mid-size CLI tool with a local server (Axum) at work last year. While I'm happy how it turned out and don't have regrets like OP, I can understand his frustration. Rust is still overhyped, not as much as some year

Yep, but fd and rg work fine on Windows. However those CLI tools are not for pure Windows people, I admit.
