Thanks! Yes that sounds more or less what I was thinking

I wonder if there could be something between None and Weak... Don't check if it's the leader, but rather check (ideally locally, via some sort of flag that is updated on writes - when it's going to be communicating with the c

Fair enough, rxdb was originally built on pouchdb, but now doesn't support it anymore since that project has a lot of issues. https://rxdb.info/rx-storage-pouchdb.html My point/question still stands though - rxdb

Are you running customized, or even embedded, versions of your search engine? Highly doubtful. So, GPL is irrelevant. Just run it and interface with it via api.

And when your avian ISP dies, how do you make requests? If everything you need - application logic, css, media, data etc... - is cached on your device, you can carry on. You're being far too myopic about all of this. There's many

Local first is fantastic. But something that I can't figure out is why the OG of local first, RxDB, never gets any love. As far as I can tell, it's VASTLY more capable than all of these new options. It has full-text search, all so

Agreed on both counts - absolutely awful article, and self-hosting is not hard. You seemingly need a phd to do the most basic things on AWS

Check out manticoresearch - it's older than Lucene (which elasticsearch is built on), faster and simpler.

It is. Jj uses it to watch your repos for changes and trigger commits.

by nchmy 1y ago
What if you do a bunch of work and dont touch jj? None of that work shows up in the evolog. using watchman also apparently makes jj more performant on large repos. But, again, watchman was explicitly said to be out of scope for this discuss

And yet, here you are, not ignoring people who are apparently fad-followers! jj is not new, nor a fad. And, moreover, its not "just" an abstraction - you would know this if you actually read my comment. jj is built on top of git a

It's peculiar that you singled-out that specific sentence from my entire comment. I sense a trap being laid, but I'll bite anyway. Luddites were skilled craftspeople who are afraid of technology/progress supplanting them, whi

by nchmy 1y ago
I agree with you both. Jj makes mistakes hard, but also makes it easy to just focus on your code and easily sort out anything git-related later as an after-thought.

You'd only really learn anything if you know nothing. The underlying git is largely invisible, and the workflows are vastly different - for the better. It is constantly making new git commits any time you use a jj command. (I even have

Humility and a desire to continually improve is, of course, essential in everything in life. But false humility - eg spending 52 years doing something and refusing to recognize some degree of skill - is just as bad as the lack of it. (I&#x2

by nchmy 1y ago
Yeah, my question was are you "good", not are you the "greatest" programmer. Humility is absolutely necessary in any skill development (and in general), but false humility - such as has been on display by various respons

At what point would you say that you became "good" at programming?
801.
by nchmy 1y ago
FYI, manticore is not "new". It has been around many years, and is based on Sphinx search which has been around longer than, I think, Lucene (which elasticseaech is built on)

Im a fan of manticore and promote it when I can, but this doesn't seem like an approoriate response. It appears generous on the surface, but has various unnecessary and subtle digs in it - all while it would be easy to show how mantico

Are provocative things not interesting? And how is this provocative? It seems to be a pretty simple question/observation about the core of the matter

That's unfortunate. Hopefully they'll be able to use jj on their own hardware, or with future employers

Thanks. I've been trying it recently but it never seems to do anything, so I just do squashes. Any idea why this might be?

I've been trying absorb recently and have found it rarely does anything and I just resort to squashes. Any idea what might be going on?

Yeah, I was already aware of megamerge. I use it. But I'm still not disciplined enough to use it and other proper workflows consistently, especially when new features/topics spring up while working on another one. I just start wor

Even though the parent comment was outrageously combative, you're probably right that it wasn't necessary to reply in a much milder, but similar fashion.

by nchmy 1y ago
But how is that a relevant comment for this post about jj? People are talking about one thing and you're saying "I either can't use it at all, or am just happy with something else already". There was no discussion of the
