Yeah, I think there's a tremendous amount of use cases for Materialize for companies that already have data store infra and want real time analytics or such use cases. However, I also think differential dataflow solves a big problem fo

by mistersys 6y ago
I think the killer app for differential dataflow would be an easy to set up realtime database like Firebase, but with much richer real-time queries and materialized views. Materialize (built on differential dataflow) is cool but doesn'

Are there really that many local newspapers using SPAs though? I feel like advertisers delivering boatloads of JS with their ads sometimes gets conflated in this discussion. Another point, it's true Reddit doesn't need a SPA. Howe

by mistersys 6y ago
Some people don't seem to understand what the whole JS SPA thing is about, and it's quite strange to me. It's not popular because it's a fad, it's not about replacing good old static websites with fancy over-enginee

As someone who runs facebook ads for ecomm, repeated targeting are a core part of making facebook ads profitable. You'll almost never make money by running a simple, one-step ad with a link to your website. What we do is to target a gr

Okay, why is there this attitude about dynamic typing vs. static typing that we can't have debates about it? As if it's an inherently subjective debate, not worth discussing? How is it ludicrous to say that for big programs, rules

by mistersys 6y ago
Sure, but having used static vs. dynamic languages extensively on gnarly problems, it’s pretty clear what they’re saying. There comes a point where dynamic languages can be quite hard to debug compared to language with well deigned types, e

CoffeeScript code bases are the scariest code bases on the planet, the nightmares. To me CoffeeScript inherited all the inconsistencies of JavaScript, then made the syntax inconsistent as well. It least it had optional chaining.

If the flaw is in open source software, it would be the responsibility of the commercial company that shipped the open source software, for not auditing the code they shipped. You can always disclaim your code if you want to take no respons

It's fairly obvious that for the any public facing API, type signatures are going to be a net positive, because you have to write input validation for your API anyway to have any hope of it being secure. You can either write as a serie

Of coarse the company is not going to pay more then the market-rate for gig workers. It's actually impossible for them, and will be even more impossible once DoorDash goes public, they'll be legally obligated by their shareholders

Far more restaurants are accessible for delivery to customers due to these apps. That's not worthless, it's an under served market. Just because our regulatory frameworks allow DoorDash's workers to be taken advantage up does

Yeah, some examples: 1. Visualize a list of addresses on a google map, by grabbing the Google Maps JS SDK and mapping over the data in a table 2. Build an customer support email portal. In eCommerce, customers sometimes miss emails or they

Yeah, I agree it was lazy of me define "worse is better" the way I did, I think they're 2 separate thoughts, but I still think TypeScript uses the "worse is better" approach to design, in the sense that C used it. M

I want Notion + Custom JS components, written inline. You could build a database with a Notion table, write some code that edits it in a little inline code snippet, similar to Observable.io, then publish it on the web as an instant low-code

TypeScript was in the right place at the right time, and the team prioritized the right features in the beginning, allowing for the great adoption. But I'd still place TypeScript firmly in the "worse is better" category (prod

Congrats, however, that was after they already gave you an offer. What if you happened to be underpaid in your previous position? If you had shared your salary history before they made you an offer, they could have given you an offer that w

I switched to a Dell XPS last year, then sold it on ebay 6 months later and bought a new Mac. WSL is a cool idea, but is still a bolt on solution, I was constantly fighting with it on windows with my unix-oriented workflow, trying to get ap

Seems useful, but my feedback is it's almost unusable slow. So much lag on input. I'm using FireFox on Mac

I'd be more interested in a study specifically around coding, as coding in dark mode is even more popular then general dark mode. Perhaps it's just the historical nature of coding on older displays that couldn't render white

Clearly this is a product targeted to professionals, designed for using heavy application while mobile. Gaming is a also a use case, but gamers that run heavy games tend to be nerds anyway. Per month pricing would make it very hard to price

Totally, it's a nitpick. Just makes the summary slightly clearer.

This isn't quite accurate, it shows more than 50 percent of US small businesses have less then a month of cash reserves on hand, around 25% only having 13 days.

Uhm.. I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but frankly this seems deceptive, or at least out of date, unless I'm totally missing something. Why is there no magical --client / --script option for the Clojure ClI to make startup

This is really just an example of the impressive security policies of macOS, if I'm not mistaken as long as you have admin permissions you can trivially create a keylogger on Windows 10 without any such special permissions.

When I imagine a yellow square, for example, I definitely visualize it. I can re-shape it, combine it with other shapes, rotate it, and visualize it moving. But it's not like it's replacing my vision, it's more of a secondary

Also, on chrome if you reload when you're on a breakpoint, you have to crash the tab and create a new one or it will never load. Being able to re-load in the middle of debugging on Firefox and not re-create my whole tab is such a relie

I understand where this is coming from, however whenever I interact with a app that re-loads the whole window on every major interaction, I start getting frustrated because of the jarring, slow transitions, most modern web apps are faster a
