Love it. When I was younger we had an Amstrad (CPC6128) that had a disk drive, but not a tape drive. My cousins had travelled to the UK where they picked up lots of games, but unfortunately most were on cassette. Being desperate to enjoy th

I’ve been keeping an eye on Tailwind. Over the last few years we’ve switched from old school single css file to css in js, and while that helps with the class spread issues, by lots of other measures it’s inferior. This was solidified for m

Can you explain what you mean by that? Sheet music would seem to be incredibly structured to me. Unless we’re talking about sheet music hand scribbled on paper?

We went through a process of changing email domains recently and we use Google Sign In for many of our services. Switching emails over varied greatly between services. Sometimes it all just worked and my new email would sign in to my accoun

Haha. I’m definitely sounding a bit that way. Though, it’s opensource, so nobody needs to be sold on it. We’re too deep in Notion internally to jump to something else now, but if was going to try anything else, given the Linear.app team’s t

I mentioned https://www.getoutline.com/ below that I haven’t tried but looks great. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who’s tried it.

Indeed. We switched to it a few months back and I couldn’t be happier. The interface is lovely, especially for a power user. Performance is killer. We actually had a call with them about their architecture and borrowed some ideas for our ow

I find the same. For my workflows the performance gets in the way. I saw another similar tool the other day by the same guys that did Linear (which I love ) that looked awesome. If we weren’t deeply embedded with Notion now I’d give it a t

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’ve worked in plenty of bad codebases. One job I walked into and on day one the two other senior devs said “congratulations, your share is these 1M lines of code”. It was a total mess. It was back in the day when col

Ooooh interesting. Any more info about the difference in models and how it causes this effect?

Are there any gotchas with using these machines for general workloads? Are there compatibility issues you need to be aware of? Can I just run a Postgres instance on them and expect everything to work?
824.
by aidos 6y ago
I’ve found the same in our use of it. It’s really hard to audit the code to understand what’s going on and I find myself clicking around trying to get some sense of how things fit together. The interface itself is pretty slow, which I find

I disagree. When you’re starting out, support is one of your key differentiating features. Customers will love you and stick with you because you’re there to help them when they need it. Those conversations, beyond just delighting your cust

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the explanation, makes sense. So I guess you still have transaction ids you need to honour on your way back.

Oof. That sounds super hairy. Don’t you run into all sorts of weirdness with things like bitmaps expecting to find a specific version of a tuple at a specific location in the heap?

To clarify, it was at a small hotel where we were staying and we were tagged in generally (the restaurant only had a few diners all of whom were staying there too).

Is this about the new digital menus? (Paywalled for me) Unbelievably, we went to a restaurant last weekend where there was absolutely no service so we had to use their WiFi to even see the drinks menu. Once connected, we had to go through a

Can’t speak for Ego but I love my Makita battery chainsaw. I was on the fence about it, but now I have it, I’m glad I made the leap. You’re obviously not going to spend all day using it as a professional, but for DIY it’s perfect. Does a go

The batteries absolutely fail before the tools do. As long as you stick to a range (for me, Makita Lxt) you’ll just need a few working batteries between all your tools as a diyer. At least that’s what I’ve found. They slowly fall apart, but

I’ve said it before, but of the near 100 bits of software we use to run our company, Chargebee is one of my most loved. Krish and the team have been plugging away over there quietly building a fantastic product and I look forward to seeing

That’s what I was saying above, you can detect those scenarios a lot of the time and handle them reasonably. Oftentimes they’re temporary and will resolve without losing any data (in a well designed system). Like I say, you can even head th

I didn’t know it was that controversial. I feel like that article is making a bit of strawman argument from the get go by talking about 1-3% failure rate from the backend. If I had a system that flaky, I’d be taking a good hard look at myse

The Zoho ecosystem is this weird place where you can find almost everything , virtually for free. If you’ve never looked before, check it out - it’s expansive. Frustratingly though, there are so many features heaped in that there is no coh

This is also my list. Except for the forms, that's one I don't have to deal with. My other one is the use of multiple subset fonts that are actually the same font with a different subset of glyphs that you want to merge back tog
