Not quite 40 yet but I’ve felt this way sometimes. Like the problem is too big and I can’t break it into small enough chunks to make sense of it. Sometimes it helps me to open a text doc to use as a “thought stack”. Just a bulleted list of

I’m a big fan of learning through practice vs learning all the theory up front, and for anyone else who feels the same, the Fast AI course and book are very good: https://fast.ai The authors are working on a new course that’ll d

I’m only barely up to speed on the tech so I don’t know if this is feasible or not, but I wonder if it would be possible to combine something like ChatGPT with something like Google. Then maybe suggest hints to the model in real time during

My mind jumps to things like.. - Don’t rewrite the architecture with microservices when the monolith is working fine - Avoid rebuilding the company blog on the latest CMS unless there are good business (time/money) reasons to do so. -

Yeah, and honestly I don't think it's even down to the framework all the time either, but some frameworks make it easier than others. React, for instance, is famously the opposite of bloated ("it's just the V in MVC&qu

I read further, and it sounds like they've designed it with privacy in mind. That's nice. I'm still having a hard time seeing how this doesn't eventually lead to a completely locked-down internet, where users can only us

I think a big part of what people perceive as being Electron’s fault actually comes down to how the app code is written. Beyond the regrettable (but hard to avoid) baseline memory usage, startup time, and bundle size, at the end of the day

I don’t know anything about the services they use to provide results, but I’ve seen some services (geocoding lookups, google maps tiles, …) where they explicitly forbid caching.

I think it might partly be due to the culture around how large or small libraries tend to be. Node grew up with NPM, and with it came the culture of building things from tiny parts. Most libraries have usually had a single focus, and even a

That happened to me too, super strange because it looked like the native Safari video player and a plain old embedded mp4 so I don’t know what was going on there.

I hit a few bugs on older Safari (like, macOS 10.14) that I had to work around but otherwise it’s been pretty good. Linux should be technically possible, but it’s a combination of the two that’s made it a lower priority so far. I’m a bit wo

Ah yeah, I miss the title bar access too. I had a “# days remaining” button there in the first version of the app when it was native to Mac and went with something less slick this time. The nice thing about Tauri is the native access if you

I’ve enjoyed working with Tauri a lot, and I’m excited to check out the mobile release. I’ve been using it for about a year now, paired with Svelte, to build a video editor [0] and it’s been really nice speed-wise. I haven’t felt like Tauri

Yeah, Instruments is pretty great and it can even do that thing the article mentions, showing the hot lines of code annotated with their percentage of runtime. It’s not always perfect but at least it’s a quick way to know where to start loo

Presumably it's trained on public data that can be scraped from Reddit, so it's possible this is true and that it can't imitate private users.

Late 2020 I had the same thought, I was making screencasts and hated doing all the cutting to turn my 45 minutes of mistakes into a 3 minute video. So I made a similar script in Node, where it used ffmpeg’s silencedetect and instead of outp
