I do not want better UX to read and write a single file. None of the example apps I mentioned work well with R/W to a single file except maybe the image editor example. I want permission to create, read, write, move/rename files a

Apple users pay for good apps, which is nice if you’re a developer wants to make a good app and also make some money.

Literally no one wants to work like this. A save dialog every time I press cmd-s? If we shipped local file editing for Notion that worked like this our users would egg our office. For any app outside maybe like an image macro meme generator

It's not permitted on the browser main thread, but works fine on the Node main thread.

(I work at Notion) TipTap came out after Notion slash commands so I’m pretty sure they were inspired by Notion - there are a lot of open source packages implementing Notion UI patterns these days :) Notion and Affine are actually both custo

I just found out you can sync sleep in JavaScript. I’m using it to implement multi-process sync file locks that need to interoperate with a large non-async framework (eslint). Atomics.wait(this.sleepBuffer, 0, 0, ms)

You need or want async/await in any program that has UI on the main thread, because you do not have the luxury of blocking the main thread if it’s running UI. It’s fine to have blocking code on background threads, but blocking the main

Moving from Godot to what? Sign up for our Discord to find out first! That makes the video feel like clickbait. Yeesh.

I wasn't trying to be dismissive, I really am curious to hear more about those use-cases, it's interesting because its not something I've experienced or know much about

They spent like 10 years killing XUL already and going absolutely all-in on HTML, they are like the most HTML-tastic of the browser vendors in my opinion

> nobody wants to debug shit on IE6 Yes that's what i'm saying! It wasn't IE6. It was better in so many ways, and I don't think it's primarily the devtools. It had tabs!!!! Firebug (a few years in). form data did

You should write your own benchmarks! I've been using mitata for microbenchmarks which is what the bun and deno people use for their cool benchmark charts. It's fast and tries to call the system GC between runs which helps reduce

Ive never met an IDE that automatically fixes unbalanced parens/braces or that auto-indents or completes bookkeeping comments like labeling SQL param indexes or something, this is stuff I’d use some VIM movement sequences before in Int

This may matter eventually but right now the fact it’s not soldered isn’t helpful to buyers. I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy a machine from Apple gambling on being able to upgrade the internal SSD at some point in the distant future.

by jitl 2y ago
Apple upgrade price is annoying, but the thunderbolt ports mean a good external SSD can be really fast; for a desktop computer as opposed to a laptop, it’s not such a bad option.

True, but also Apple is somewhat famous for releasing “faster but worse” redesigns of their computers. Like: - making MacBook Pro thinner and faster, but now the keyboard fails after 12 months and no SD card or HDMI port - making Mac Pro a

Asking about performance, “production”, fast/slow/okay, etc is all relative and whole depends on what volume of traffic you get in production and your latency demands; without including a few ballpark numbers the conversation is p

I would expect my web application framework to handle all of these tasks, except perhaps header filtering. If it didn’t I’d rather fix that problem in the web application itself instead of adding a complicating layer of infrastructure that

Right now the programming AI that’s cheap enough for me to use is really good at fixing unbalanced parenthesis and indenting my code correctly. It more or less reduces my VIM motions by 80%. I am still doing something cool, and also still

CREATE TABLE etc in SQLite are fully transactional, as are updates to PRAGMA user_version which you can use to store a logical schema version number. I built Notion’s SQLite migration system for client devices on those primitives.

I guess the dependency order is nice, but I’ve been frustrated that Postgres doesn’t provide an efficient binary data format that user code can read or write easily. The SQL, text, and CSV formats are all reasonable and nice for small datab

I disagree here. For this, a memo application, I think the metadata (date, length, name, etc) is the true content here you’d want to scan, not the actual waveform itself. There’s some content like images that should scale to full bleed just

I recently set up a Debezium / Kafka Connect cluster and didn’t need to do either of these things. I have some topics with 7 day retention, and some with 0 second retention. No full scan at all, not necessary for my use case.

The system does this automatically on macOS and iOS in screenshots and stuff.

If you’re happy with 32gb, then be happy! For me there’s a big difference between “rarely” wanting more performance and “never” wanting more performance. I pre-ordered a 16” M4 Max MacBook Pro with 128gb of RAM. I’m going to give 16gb of h

Compared to the newer SSRIs, Prozac is better understood, safer, and generally more effective while having fewer side effects. But the whole genre of drug is so challenging to assess - maybe one in 6 SSRI will fit a patient, and it takes ab
