Wow, Minecraft X Outer Wilds… I should really finish Outer Wilds. It’s incredible and super fun to explore the solar system but I find many of the challenges quite difficult to navigate with the zero g thrusters.

Yeah my architecture problem is that Postgres RDS EBS storage is slow as dog. Sure our data won’t go poof if we lose an instance but it’s so slow. (It’s not really my architecture problem. My architecture problem is that we store pages as g

Depending on your data model, LiveStore is a completely open-source, SQLite based approach for local first sync-y apps: https://livestore.dev/ It's oriented around event sourcing and syncs the events, which get materia

We do see about 10x the database row corruption rate w/ WASM OPFS SQLite compared to the same logic running against native SQLite. For read-side cache use-case this is recoverable and relatively benign but we're not moving write-s

On midrange and below Android devices, literally any local persisted data access can be slower than a network call. Even a point read from a small SQLite b-tree can be coming off a $3 microsd card and a CPU equivalent to a 10 year old iPhon

I've been a bit put off by rxdb's lack of transactions (see https://rxdb.info/transactions-conflicts-revisions.html ) and the sometimes self-congratulatory tone in their docs. Notion is a very async collaborative

Ah, I understood "native application in some targets" to mean you're writing application code in languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript; not that sometimes you're React Native and sometimes you're Web/

IndexedDB is a standard and can be implemented however the user-agent sees fit. Chromium source tree has an implementation on LevelDB and an implementation on SQLite; I'm not sure how they pick the appropriate backend. Firefox and WebK

But, does Replicache work for your native targets? Or you are okay with a different data layer for native (sqlite) vs web (boutique data model on top of IndexedDB). At the start of the article it sounds like the goal is to use the same abst

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a command line tool that makes this mistake, hooray for me. On the other hand lots more today support XDG_CONFIG_* and don’t litter ~ with random .dir stuff. I really like the new era of CLI tools that’s

I mean I love to see a 0.5% performance boost in my code at work. I would be all over a 5% boost, I think anything above 1% is significant!

There may be an opportunity to switch from TRANSIENT to STATIC in sqinn but I didn't read deeply enough to follow what the current memory approach is. https://github.com/cvilsmeier/sqinn/blob/a88b3df6c89

For a project a while back, I needed to turn many-gigabyte Postgres CSV table dumps into SQLite databases. I turned to Go as its a great language for easy parallelism combined with enough memory layout control to get relatively good perform

The article you posted doesn't mention "offline" at all. We use SQLite as a cache in the browser when available and in iOS/Android/desktop apps, but we didn't have any guarantee that a page you want offline is

Notion should enter "keyboard mode" as you start to type and fade out the header bar. You'll still need to close the sidebar since it's quite busy and we don't fade it automatically since it has an explicit toggle.

I want to build a fully round-tripable semantic HTML “microformat” for Notion data so both backup and take-out workflows can depend just on exports, but right now I’m too focused on scaling offline mode to work on it. Sigh. The first versio

It’s great in TypeScript. In TypeScript your source can have inferred types returned, and then use a build step to produce resolved typings files (.d.ts) for distribution that have the fully specified type.

i mean that's life with client computers, you make stuff backwards compatible and you avoid making it too brittle.

You can use the same business logic code on both the client and server. With the Linear approach, the server remains the source of truth.
