For those interested in jQuery alternatives- I've been waiting for jQuery 4.0 soooo long I ended up making my own jQuery with some key differences: * Animations, tweens, timelines use pure CSS, instead of jQuery's custom syste

As a developer who routinely experiments with large OLED panels for programming, a new big monitor has to be: * Curved (flat is eye strain above ~40 inches) * 8k. * Flicker free / PWM free. * Not glossy. Otherwise, I'm in! Ready t

I'm not convinced Google has stopped using backlinks and other classic pagerank attributes for search ranking.

Surprised to see this. Still one of my favorite kanban implementations. Mostly just gets out of your way.

IMHO Jinja was never worth salvaging. It's a bandaid for not being able to mix Python and HTML easily. Super slow parsing. Unintuitive DSL (opinionated enough to be a PITA). Huge LoC vs the value it contributes to your project. Adopt a

As an extension writer... Writing extensions in Lua is huge. (Same as OBS) Looks very simple and productive. It's one of the main reasons I've stuck to Sublime... extending with Python is very easy and works everywhere. Even if bo

It's a lot more moving parts unfortunately and the TiDB team has historically little interest in fixing that.

Re: CockroachDB vs Planetscale. It's all about the price per core of the CockroachDB license. In my understanding, last time I talked to sales it's approximately 3x worse (because Planetscale offers 1 primary + 2 replicas) with Co

Kind of... Certain extensions such as basic backups are closed source and have never been in the OSS version. Many things would have to be re-added from scratch in a fork.

The enterprise per core is still an insane figure, based on last time I interacted with sales- would be amazing if this was revised, too, to be more competitive with Planetscale, etc. Would be far easier to recommend CockroachDB if it were

Overall I feel like this is a step in the right direction. I do love Cockroach, but the old licensing model was pretty brutal if you required any enterprise features (ex: incremental backup). For reference, some other data stores doing &quo

Seems like awesome news for startups desiring a database which horizontally scales writes. The old licensing model was pretty brutal if you required any enterprise features. New license looks promising! For reference, some other data stores

IMHO, ignoring the parsing difficulty, the main issue with Markdown is it's difficult to write for non-technical users- 1 misplaced character can mess you up if you stick to the "spec". Markdown has already won over the techn

What's the deal with all the anons complaining about the non-commercial use clause? It's one guy. There'd almost certainly be paid clones popping up otherwise. Pirijan is being very cool opening up the main product in the fir

You generally get sent through a predatory sales pipeline and extorted. Think very hard before using something not upfront about pricing.
