I find it just inevitably leads to massive classes that pollute markup. Makes it a lot harder to parse HTML and figure out the structure. There are ways to make it a bit better but it's still not great (for me). It's even worse wi

I moved away from using Tailwind CSS, but still use their "preflight.css" [1]. It doesn't really care about backwards compatibility (IE stuff), but does a great job at unstyling everything so you have a clean cross-browser ba

Indeed, I misunderstood "Docker and virtualization isn't the same" as "Docker and virtualization on Mac is not as good as on Linux". Now I understand you meant "Docker and virtualizating Linux isn't the sa

I'm not. You mentioned Docker and virtualisation and this tool has addressed most of my pain points with those, that's it.

On macOS you can use OrbStack [1] for a much better experience working with Docker on Mac, as well as quickly spinning up headless Linux VMs (WSL on Mac kind of thing). The free tier will probably be rug-pulled someday, but I've been u

Glad it works for you! My dot files are in a private repo, I don't want to bother with adding new SSH keys to my GitHub account and then remembering to cleanup everything for what could be a one-time use. `apk add helix` is way easier

It's a terrible bicycle. If it was extremely affordable because it's mostly recycled plastic acquired for cheap, then it would make sense as a product but the 1200 EUR price tag is absolutely demented.

They can, and they wouldn't be necessarily be wrong. However if the library is trying to be as idiomatic / general purpose / good citizen as possible, then they should strongly consider not doing that and only use the user pr

Nothing, but it would be bad design (unless there is a legitimate documented reason for it). Then it's up to you as the developer to exercise your judgment and choose what third-party libraries you choose to depend on.

You can if you want. You can write your own allocator that never actually touches the heap and just distributes memory from a big chunk on the stack if you want to. The point is you have fine grained (per function) control over the allocati

by simjnd 1y ago
Zig make allocations extremely explicit (even more than C) by having you pass around the allocator to every function that allocates to the heap. Even third-party libraries will only use the allocator you provide them. It's not a fallac

AFAIK the problem of N+1 isn't necessarily one more DB query, but one more network roundtrip. So if for each page of your app you have an API endpoint that provides exactly all of the data required for that page, it doesn't matter

Could this be done in software? I'm very uneducated on the topic but doesn't your computer need to know the capabilities of a cable when it's plugged in? (USB speed, PD support, etc.)

I you're willing to go back a few generations, Asahi Linux supports the Mac Mini (M1, M2 and M2 Pro). Support is missing for USB-C displays (it has HDMI) and Thunderbolt, but other than that you can have an awesome experience on these
