I read this comment, which convinced me to click the link, and had the exact same reaction. Such a compelling idea - feels completely obvious after seeing the demo that this is what I want in a timer.

I would live for this to be the answer - it’s definitely helpful, but I know a number of people who have made eye contact with a driver who has then proceeded to drive directly into them. I’ve had near misses like this too. It’s hard to ima

Congrats on the launch, really great stuff. As a software developer who has been studying (very slowly) a law degree, I can really see how products like that improve existing processes can really fill a need. I've also seen some former

Love this, and I'm in the same boat. Is your configuration of kanata public at all? I know it's mostly muscle memory, but macOS shortcuts just seem sane and consistent and that has been one of the biggest frustrations when trying

I've been doing this with NextAuth and fastapi-nextauth-js [ https://github.com/TCatshoek/fastapi-nextauth-jwt ]. With JWTs it's pretty straightforward to do something similar for any other auth provider. This

This x100. I have regularly tried to set up a Linux environment, thinking that there really isn't that much of a barrier to being productive on Linux, but with the lack of polished commercial apps and the hardware quirks I always seem

I'm trying to manage working on both Linux and MacOS, and this has been the number one frustration. Fortunately, toshy.app (as well as into) exists and does a pretty great job at mapping shortcuts to match MacOS.

Fantastic work, and really appreciate the write up. It's quite timely for me - I'm from a tech background and have just started studying Australian law, and was thinking about doing exactly this - so you are years ahead of me :).

Do you have happen to have any documentation about your benchmarking? I'm also considering these options at the moment (currently using pg+timescaledb) and interested in what you found.

Another option is https://kinto.sh . It worked perfectly for me out of the box on Pop OS, and with a few tweaks to shortcuts I’m pretty happy with the experience to the point where I can fairly seamlessly switch between computer

I don't think Jacascript/HTML is the hurdle - for me it's all of the tooling around the ecosystem that makes me want to avoid it. That said, these types of tools have been a good entry point into front-end work, and I'm

Thanks for this. I'm interested in how you compare yourselves to dash in particular - having a quick look at the network calls, the way you interact with the back-end looks fairly similar. I've written some relatively complex apps

Strongly agree, there is a compelling collection of technologies there, and I'd be very keen to keep in touch. I'm hoping to spend December working on how these could fit together for a very different use case (I'm in a resea

Fascinating. Have you written any more on this? I’ve started using timescale and am keen to push as much as possible into the database, and currently the approach to ML requires us to extract huge amounts from the DB and is a significant bo

I ran into the same problem trying to pair it with Django. From what I remember, some manipulation of primary key constraints in the schema could get them to coexist (although you lose any enforcement of unique PKs, so there's the pote

This is a really great perspective. As someone who dealt with the external pressures of being 'extraordinary' at a young age, it seems to me that curiosity is one of the easiest things to lose, and hardest to bring back, when your

Just wanted to say I find this a really great framing, particularly: > Do the thing for the exuberant joy of the thing itself It's something that I've started to act on recently, and I'm finding that thinking about activit

Great list. It seems odd that we always equate a reduction in our footprint with a reduction in lifestyle, where options like these would arguably be a lifestyle improvement (or at least neutral). I would also add - stop or reduce discreti

As well as full-sized HDMI. I'm wedded to MacOS, but am in the process of hackintoshing a refurbished X1 Carbon. There are still a few issues but it feels so much more user friendly than the current model MacBooks.
