I don’t think you’re wrong on that front. Because I seldom use animations, for example, I tend to have to look up the syntax, but that’s no big deal. Knowing how to actually build things from scratch in a way that survives the beating of ti

Thanks for the interesting link on IVM - I hadn’t heard about that work. Crikey, it’s a humbling one to solve generally reading through that page. I have a case of this where I do the incremental updates myself. In my case, figuring out whi

Seems like a good effort. I couldn’t easily find an example of the text encoding looking at your readme though.

I've posted about this before but I went to see Robin Carhart-Harris [0] talk about this in London recently. He said that the research was suggesting that the under psychedelics, the brain enters a state where it becomes more malleable

We own a 100 year old place that we’ve been renovating for the last 2 months (when we took ownership). I found a (small) stash of money under the carpet (about £200 in pristine 1990s notes). That’s probably the best thing I found. Less savo

That’s definitely something I’ve seen too. Most of the cvs I get through, especially from younger devs, talk about ML. I’ve got my work cut out for me keeping my existing codebase understandably without deliberately introducing opacity!

Thanks for the tip. It’s irrelevant now because the flooring people have just walked out saying they won’t lay on to the chipboard anyway. Need to run a thin layer of ply over the whole thing. Live and learn I guess!

I’m in the throes of renovating an old house at the moment and dealing with replacing rotting sections of floor has proved a little fiddly due to this. The slightly different joist heights aren’t too bad - you just pack them out before stra

So filtering later outside of the db? If you filter on a view the optimiser should be able to sort it out - as others have mentioned, it’s no different from a regular query.

Where are you based? The majority of properties in the UK are brick.

I also came to comment on Hasura. Without having looked into the code I can’t really comment on the quality, but certainly from the outside it’s rock solid.

Thanks for The Witness. I don’t play games at all anymore, and haven’t for years but I’m really glad I took the time to work through The Witness. It’s an absolute work of art. (as was Braid - literally the only other game I’ve played in yea

I was confused by the “Standard Amazon S3 storage and request pricing applies.” That seems to be a different thing from the extra S3 transfer costs.

I was going to say it’d be an improvement but I can’t actually make sense of the AWS Snowball proving https://aws.amazon.com/snowball/pricing/

I went to a talk last week by Robin carhart-harris who does deep research in this area. The talk itself was pretty complicated but he was saying (I think!) that they believe these drugs cause the brain to go into a state where it becomes mo

Do you mean an application layer function, or a dB one? And if a dB one, you also need to create an index to go with it. And then there are dragons that you don’t need in life. If an application one, then people need to know to call it, so,

This is great news. Those weird little cases where you need to either defer the computation until read time, or precompute and store yourself always felt warty and ripe for errors. Really glad to see this addition. EDIT an example from this

Performance is really good (not that we’re using it at scale - but apparently even there it shines). They use a really clever technique for loading where not only do they. pull all the child data for multiple parent records as a single hit,

There are different types of inefficiency and being inefficient in one area might be worth the trade off to be efficient in another. Also, multiple dB queries really aren’t the end of the world.

You don’t need to know what they will request, you know what they did request. The dataloader thing is a kludge because you never know where you’ll have to go to get data for a particular part of the tree - maybe it’s another endpoint

Yes. Well, we’ve built a prototype recently that just uses Hasura for the backend (don’t need anything other than data access at this stage). It’s a really great engine and I’m glad we took a punt on it. Aside from the expected behaviour, y

There’s a different way of managing graphs queries. When you remember that you’re effectively running a query per layer of the graphql tree (much like an ORM does) then you can optimise all the stuff that sits in a single layer by creating

Your argument does not stand up. I can have a file full of ORM sql fragments the same as you file of strings. And I can compose mine together safely and more flexibly than strings.

That’s a little depressing. Another case I keep running into is people generally using the address for sales from HN. The worst culprits are recruiters / agencies using it on Who’s Hiring when I explicitly say “no recruiters”. I’ve sim

“Wasn’t great” is an understatement! I dealt with it as a developer both in New Zealand and the Uk and it was outright terrible. Oh, you didn’t apply for a merchant account 6 weeks ago...yeah, you’re not gonna go live this month. You just g

Can you explain this scenario further? I’ve not used immutablejs but I’m familiar with both functional data structure concepts and immerjs. Immerjs just improves the ergonomics updating a native nested structure in a way that the original c

by aidos 7y ago
I assumed it was some sort of port, but they’re totally different things! OT but it’s worth reading the code for immerjs. It’s super small, super clever and shows the power of proxies in js.
