Thanks the icons work! I was originally looking at the docs to see if there was any information on multi-instance (horizontally scaled) apps. Is this supported? If so, how does that work?

FYI the “Build Crashproof Apps” button in your docs doesn’t do anything.

I’m in charge of the laundry at home and I tell you it for sure helps me tell apart my wife’s dark blue tights from her black ones when I’m sorting things into piles. :)

I think you only start caring about quality once you have sufficient depth of experience in the subject that you actually care about. Example would be audiophiles - most people can't hear the differences that they trained themselves to

One of my (many) favourite parts of the sutra: "If you are caught up in the idea of a dharma, you are also caught up in the idea of a self, a person, a living being and a life span. If you are caught up in the idea that there is no dha

Indeed - the sutra is quite explicit: “There is no independent object of mind called bodhisattva.”

One advantage of having a fixed routine, especially for thinks like your daily yoga practice, is that without a fixed ring-fenced slot other things will inevitably push it out of the way. “Today is a special situation, I just really need to

This is good information - thank you. I would need to do some benchmarks to measure the impact - might make for a nice blog post in future! :)

When I see “stage 1” and “if they stick within a certain reasonably large subset of the language” the cynical old dev in me starts waving a YAGNI sign. :)

Can someone explain to me what the advantages of ESM actually are to me as a backend dev who uses import / export syntax in TS already? Parent article mentions static analysis and synchronous loading on startup but that has never been

In the past I spent a lot of time cutting up logs with grep, less, jq and Perl. It was amazing UX that Kibana can't beat in terms of performance, assuming you already know the time-window you are interested in (although I never learned
