i use this. it’s not maintained so you need to manually enable its access to assistive control in Settings but besides that still works great: https://github.com/jmgao/metamove it does exactly what you want coming from

if you have eslint you might as well just write custom rules and get actual syntax aware linting rather than relying on more brittle regex rules. claude et al are very good at getting a lint rule started, with a bit of setup you can make te

yeah that’s the way we do it at Notion. it’s important to store the allowed violation count in a file type that makes merges easy; we use TSV rather than JSON because dealing with commas and delimiters during merge conflict is super annoyin

I built a ratchet system for ESLint originally that we’ve extended it to work with TypeScript, Terraform, and Biome linters. integrating with each linger is complex but it pays dividends - it’s so handy to be able to write a new lint rule o

Why make good things? I guess we should make bad things. Or no things.

ai is actually useful tho. idk about this level of abstraction but the more basic delegation to one little guy in the terminal gives me a lot of extra time

I feel this could be achieved better with Golang or Kotlin and a custom linter that enforces parentheses around each expression term to make precedence explicit, and enforce each function has at least one test. Although I guess neither of t

Is there some kinda "here's what gliding is all about" article I can read to so I can understand this website / this accomplishment?

It wasn’t my intention to say “this stuff is 100x faster because rust”. DuckDB is C++. My intention was to draw distinction between the Java/Hadoop era of cluster and data systems, and the 2020s era of cluster and data systems, much of

The author wrote WebKit’s allocator and worked on JavaScriptCore for over a decade. I really enjoyed his posts on the WebKit blog over the years like this one on the concurrent garbage collector (2017) https://webkit.org/blo

README says it’s optimized for Metal, if it really is using metal compute shader, apparently the programming model is fairly similar to WebGPU. You could try asking Claude to translate it :)

I’ve sent Claude back to look at the transcript file from before compaction. It was pretty bad at it but did eventually recover the prompt and solution from the jsonl file.

e2ee makes it hard to do things like “search” which is important for working with teams. For personal messengers usually search is all on device w an encrypted index, once an org grows beyond 50 people that sort of thing breaks down.

Yeah im a big fan of SQLite :). But at analytical workloads like aggregating every row, DuckDB will outperform SQLite by a wide margin. SQLite is great stuff but it’s not a very good data Swiss Army knife because it’s very focused on a sing

None of the systems I mentioned existed at the time the article was published. I think the author would love duckdb which is a very speedy CLI SQL thingy that reads and writes data in all sorts of formats. It fits in great with other Unix C

unconvinced. any join needs some kind of seek on the secondary relation index, or a bunch of state if ur stream joining to build temporary index sizes O(n) until end of batch. on the other hand summing N numbers needs O(1) memory and if you

On the other hand, now we have duckdb for all the “small big data”, and a slew of 10-100x faster than Java equivalent stuff in the data x rust ecosystem, like DataFusion, Feldera, ByteWax, RisingWave, Materialize etc

I have my agent run all docker commands in the main worktree. Sometimes this is awkward but mostly docker stuff is slow changing. I never run the stuff I’m developing in docker, I always run on the host directly. For my current project (Pos

TypeScript widens the type of x to allow `number | string`, there are no type errors below: const x = [] x.push(1) type t = typeof x // ^? type t = number[] x[0] = "new" type t2 = typeof x
