   I've shared similar frustrations with VSCode's vim plugin. These days, I often run Neovim from within VSCode's terminal for complex editing tasks where I might need to use macros or use fugitive or whatever.

   I'd argue it's the same thing. When doing literate programming, I started by first writing a description of what I was going to do and why. Then I wrote the implementation. When I finished, I went back and updated the description

   I actually did some small hobby projects using Literate Coffeescript a long time ago. Looking at the source code today, and I can't help but feel like the proponents of literate programming were really onto something. I'm coming b

   I've found "agents" to be an utter disappointment in their current state. You can never trust what they've done and need to spend so much time verifying their solution that you may as well have just done it yourself in t

   You get barred from a whole suite of services. Anything Google/Alphabet owns or may acquire in the future. People often don't have a choice here.

   Chomsky described these countries as "mercenary states". One of his books, Understanding Power, dives into the topic quite a bit.

   For anyone else stumbling on this: looks like MongoDB is used for the storage layer of the UI.

   This is really interesting. Is Clickhouse the only stateful part of this stack? Would love to see compatbility with Rotel[0], a Rust implementation of the OTEL collector, so that this becomes usable for serverless runtime environments. One

   While publishing both versions together helps with compatibility issues, the library now becomes even heavier in environments where tree-shaking is not enabled. In React Native, for example, you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get tr

    This isn't an npm exclusive issue. A dependency having some other transitive deps also depend on an older version is a problem that happens in literally every other ecosystem. If anything, npm gives you more escape hatches by actually

    Does this only work if I'm writing raw SQL? Can I use this today if my project uses Postgres but has queries written in TypeScript using a query builder like Kysely?

    On the other hand, Apple does not let you as the developer do refunds on your own. You can't do full or partial refunds.

    This is actually really cool. I just tried it out using an AI studio API key and was pretty impressed. One issue I noticed was that the output was a little too much "for dummies". Spending paragraphs to explain what an API is thro

    This looks really cool. We've been using Graphite for a long time now, and been pretty happy with it. It was a huge step up from base Github review workflows, and the AI reviewer does point out real issues from time to time. I watched

    Serverless databases with branching support like Neon make this kind of thing trivial to do. You can just have a test that branches off your prod DB, runs the migrations, and then deletes the branch. This is lightweight enough to easily run

    Sure, but switching from node to bun is a much more invasive change than switching from npm to pnpm. And not always possible.

    pnpm skips all `postInstall` runs by default now. You can explicitly allow-list specific ones. If you use that, I'd highly recommend configuring it to throw an error instead of just silently skipping the postInstall though: https:&#x2

    The way this cutover is being handled is reminiscent of Python 2->3. To this day, I still run into compatibility issues between things that only work with ESM and things that only work with CJS. It's frustrating, to say the least.

    I feel like these concerns are often overstated. Gemini was a well-known crypto exchange. Outside of their niche, I don't think Avid is something the average person is familiar with. Even the average software engineer.

    Isn't Mozilla's VPN just a thin UI over Mullvad's servers? I don't think it costs them much and probably brings in some decent revenue.

    This same issue prevents AirPlay from showing DRM video content on TVs. It's incredibly frustrating since Samsung TVs don't support Chromecasting.

    I'd like to think I minimize the bleedover of corporate/profession-related speech into my daily life, but "orthogonal" and "non-trivial" were just not a standard part of my vocabulary before college. Over a dec

    I don't understand why AWS doesn't put more effort into Cognito without messing with pricing. It is such an effective loss-leader. If you're someone who will go past the free tiers for Cognito, the rest of your AWS spend wi

    So glad I clicked on this link. I was already doing the `includeIf: "gitdir"` thing to separate work and personal stuff, but `hasconfig:remote` is a total game-changer.

    This in interesting, but while OpenNext is agnostic about the hosting layer, it seems opinionated about the IaC layer. SST is great, but I still use CDK for everything and have no appetite to maintain a snowflake project with a different Ia

    Is there a way to import data in from a table, or would I have to manually break it up into 1kb chunk insert queries? Let's say I have a ~150GB postgres DB right now and I want to move it to Prisma Postgres. At 1kb/request and $8&

    I don't see what that has to do with what I said. Chasing an MVP doesn't have to involve disrespecting people's privacy and recording without consent. There are many worse violators than this, but it is what it is.
