I'm a big DO fan as their pricing models are easier to understand, and use them myself for personal projects, but I would hesitate to use some of their products at an enterprise. The reason is that they do not seem committed to SLAs a

So npm supports yarn.lock now, does that mean that it’s intended to replace yarn long term? Are there any pros to still using yarn these days?

There really isn’t a competitor. Supabase is trying to combine OSS tooling into a somewhat similar offering but it’s not nearly as feature rich as Firebase. That having been said, most people use Firebase for real time DB and auth, and Supa

Surely the point the Spotify CEO was making is that music has become unbundled and shouldn’t be released as a collection in an album because consumption is at the track level now, and not that you should make more music as a rule.

Good luck! As others said, few typos and I’d suggest having someone else review the copy on the site. For example, this is the first thing I read, and it does not feel like natural English. > Update the blogs and content on the website r

How long is the book? Is 118 hours short? What percentage of the content is from GPT-3? How extensively was it edited? Did you use a single prompt for the whole book, one per chapter, per section? How did it keep characters straight for an

Hmm, I think it makes a lot of sense that a language would govern your thought patterns. This happens in software, you are limited in what you can create and do by what concepts you can easily express, why wouldn’t this be true for language

I agree it doesn’t make sense in the context of today, but in 1887 when it was invented, there was no internet, and you couldn’t translate between languages with a computer. The globalization hadn’t happened yet where everyone had to learn

Tuning relevance is extremely difficult, and it’s not just an information retrieval problem - at Amazon’s size (and even smaller companies) a lot of what you see for “relevance” is hand-tuned by humans, through machine learning on longer-ta

I think if you substitute all your questions with env vars, all the same issues present themselves. You have to roll secrets whenever someone with access no longer has access, and the env vars can be stale just the same as the encrypted fil

How was CloudFlare set up on the workers and CDN side? If it’s not set to cache everything, the origin server will still need to be contacted, and each edge will need to contact the origin when the cache expires (which is defaulted to 4 hou

Not sure about the content locking, but OneNote is super easy to use, can be embedded into teams tabs or files, and has full text search. What’s better about this than embedding OneNote?

This was a long read, but very enlightening. Thanks for posting. It really resonated with me, since I’m going through a similar period of self-reflection, and searching for the true meaning of life and what makes me happy. For the longest t

I grew up in an underground house, and it was not a good experience at all. It’s effectively like your entire house is a basement.

Yes, ui components have state in the case of a retained mode GUI like the DOM, but in the case of React, relevant data is derived from the application state (eg IsDarkMode is a state property used to derive colors for a component, or the ch

The variables are persisted within a closure since they are in the scope of the internal function definitions. Whether each function points to the same closure value as they are changed would be based on the language semantics around the c

Functional programming is getting popular in JavaScript not because of serializability of state changes across threads, but because immutable state and immediate-mode GUIs go hand in hand. React, as an example, works as an immediate-mode G

Unless your product requires AIX to function, I recommend against AIX and POWER in general. You aren’t going to be able to get cheap POWER machines for distributed computing in the future. You can’t use Rust, Go, .NET at all. You can run Ku

I've also gone through this process and evaluated Firebase, Realm, Pouch/Couch... They all ultimately fall down at some point and you end up in a situation where you have to build some strange hybrid with a separate API to do the

RxDB is using RxJS and is meant for building an observable DB on the client side (i.e. it has local data and works offline). If you were using it server-side with Node, it wouldn't be as compelling.

That’s great to hear! Are you pubkey? If so you should put that in your profile! I hope you know that I think RxDB is a great lib and going in a good direction! I recommended it to the Supabase team a couple weeks ago. I am less long PouchD

by lukevp 6y ago
I agree, I think the move to a more mature state management on the client in general sort of obviated the needs for these databases. Eg if you’re using redux, or mobx, or Apollo, you can cache offline data directly in your state tree, and c

The concept or RxDB, being able to iterate observables of your change stream, is great. Centering on schemas and typescript is as well. The broadcast channel based leader election also solved the common issue with Pouch where you can’t res

It’s really best to design everything for a shared app shared db model, and to have a user/tenant heirarchy in every app. You can start with each user belonging to their own tenant. You can in the future shard the db and/or app by

Don’t know you so take this with a grain of salt, but personally if I could not discuss how we spend that much of our time with my spouse, I would feel that we had a fundamental problem with the way we communicate. You should also be talkin

This already exists on the JVM or the .NET CLR. The concept of an intermediate language is also old. It’s easy to call between languages as well. The “innovation” is really the true OO nature of everything being message passing, and no real

Don’t learn this or web assembly, learn TypeScript and then Rust. TS will teach you a lot about type systems, classes, modules, interfaces, async/await, etc. Rust will teach you about memory management, filter expressions, futures, (im

This is great stuff, will need time to read it and digest. I feel that CRDTs are something that should have been invented much earlier than 2011. Formalizing the conversation around what the base level assumptions are that are necessary to
