You can if you like but, with a centralised server, you can do all the merging logic in one place without a CRDT. With a CRDT, you'd be storing the entire history of a document, which might be overkill for something like a todo app tha

Thanks for all your work on performance, my side project is a rich text CRDT in Swift which wraps AttributedString. I took a lot of inspiration from Peritext and used your blog post extensively for performance tuning.

I noticed that in the blog post announcing the book and that was enough to put me off.

EvironmentObject is a total foot gun for performance and causes a bunch of other issues. Core Data and SwiftUI are also awkward together. We ended up keeping Core Data at arms length and building our own internal framework to do dependency

FastAPI & Postgres for the backend. REST + websockets for the API. Over the years I've tried all kinds of BaaS and more magic "X as a service" solutions, but I often hit some edgecase or limitation that is a dead-end or r

Still quite normal in bars and clubs in Berlin and likely other parts of Europe. Technically it’s not allowed but isn’t enforced and no one really cares. I don’t mind that as a non-smoker but would find it pretty awful in a restaurant or ca

Offline is also weird on iOS, you often have to turn on airplane mode to get it into its offline state reliably.

One thing I didn't know is that certain macOS apps keep their own version history of files, which you can access by opening the file in TextEdit (Xcode for instance will do this) and then File > Revert To > Browse all versions. S

It also contains a lot of misinformation and outdated talking points, not really worth watching. A whole lot of scientists and activists have spoken out against the documentary. I'm still confused as to why Michael Moore made it.

I think it makes sense, they're not normally first movers.

I believe it sometimes doesn't work the first time. Also, if you're on some types of medication for depression or anxiety or are chemically depressed, it may not work at all. I don't have sources for this, just anecdotal, so

I always thought gas was quite quick to start which made it a good complement to renewables.

I haven't done any professional web stuff in a few years, wasn't this kind of the idea of web components? As you said, The React team can move a lot faster than w3c and each browser vendor.

The cynical part of me is wondering if they're all jumping on the opportunity to do some "reorganising" with ZIRP as a get out of jail free card.

Producing less and electrifying a grid are not mutually exclusive, ideally we will do both. Even in a "degrowth" future, we have to power critical infrastructure, which means large infrastructural changes and a bunch of raw materi

You can quit from within the command+tab overlay by hitting q while you're stilling holding command and have tabbed onto the relevant application. That's how I do it.

Interesting, any resources on using Dart in this way? I also do native iOS development as a day job. Edit: Pieced together how to do this from the official docs.
