It's mentioned in the article indirectly: when you enable consumers to demand more, you increase competitive pressures amongst producers as well. Your landlord raises your rent by $1000? That's fine: you move to another town that&

There’s also RxDB which builds on top of PouchDb: it has a graphql plugin so you can have real-time data as well. I’m using it experimentally with Hasura+Postgres. The only drawback is that I can’t figure out a UI that indicates which do

While Roam isn't competitive when it comes to pricing, my main gripe would be 1. people are paying $15 a month for a _beta_ with not that great UI/UX 2. there have been past incidents of people losing all their work because persis

I would only think that's the case when the language of the file you're editing is unknown, so you would have to do some server-side analysis of the entire file and make an educated guess. For example, https://github.co

I wasn't there when xi-editor started, but writing a text editor in Rust and splitting the backend from the front-end still seems like a good idea. Why? You could compile Rust to Web-assembly -- getting a more performant text editor th

With Amazon having a moratorium of their rekognition API, I wonder if a Cambridge Analytica type event could happen to OpenAI where someone abuses and escapes the terms of service.

Discord's input is built on-top of Slate.js [1], which is sort of a more React-based alternative to ProseMirror. I've thought about building the same functionality on ProseMirror but I've always thought, inline decorations on

Huh, how did AMD manage to catch up to Intel? I would've thought that Intel as the market leader should've been able to out innovate their competitors based on price. Has Intel just been complacent for the last 3 years?
