Thanks for calling this out—I couldn't find anything when I tried emulating an SE. What's broken?

That's all there is to it.

Of course, builders gonna build.

Thank you! I actually can’t remember what made me start building it. I think I was learning differential equations and wanted to try visualizing some parts of that, and it spiraled into a full blown thing. I kept getting impressed by the fl

That's a common theme here. We try to avoid making tools into projects.

This is not the kind of framework you can casually build and maintain yourself to support another project.

That's amazing. My high school started at 7:05. By senior year, I began systematically missing first period because I just couldn't get up and ready on time without feeling terrible.

In case you didn't know, they make bikes with carbon+rubber belt drives now, rather than chains. It's kind of nice for commuter bikes because there's no grease to get on your pants.

I don't really see it as a matter of efficiency. It's more that I never have to really think about where my feet are on the pedals. They're just always in the right spot and no extra work has to go into keeping them there.

Make sure you have macOS Monterrey 12.3 beta (the Metal backend requires 12.3 or above).

Kinda related but I've always imagined selling a house and leaving behind a "readme" with the latest state of things. I know inspections cover many things, but it'd be nice to have something from the previous owner talki

From the article: > Some scientists believe rogue planets can form from the collapse of a gas cloud that is too small to lead to the formation of a star, or that they could have been kicked out from their parent system. But which mechani

And also worth pointing out that traditional engines catch fire far more often. Battery fires are just harder to extinguish.

Vercel's increasing control over the frontend ecosystem worries me a lot.

Foam doesn't run on my phone. Because VS Code doesn't run on my phone. So I use Obsidian to edit a synced folder on my phone, just because it is functionally similar to Foam but runs on iOS.

I like to use Obsidian on iOS and then Foam on my computer. They happen to have a lot of the same custom Markdown syntax, and I prefer using VS Code on my computer :) https://foambubble.github.io/foam/

Consider this: the intention is quite obvious, and the gravity of the situation makes pedantry like this come across as completely tone-deaf.

How would you feel about unlimited with an enforced minimum?

by stevenpetryk 5y ago
Seems pretty clear to me that this isn't designed to build scalable apps. And that's okay—it's still a very thought-provoking exploration into a different paradigm of persistence.

A lot of negative sentiment for unlimited PTO here. I had unlimited PTO at one of my previous jobs (Intercom), and my boss was very clear about how much felt like too much, but still encouraged me to take plenty. I took 30 days off one year

I've never used it in prod, but have heard great things from former Intercom coworkers about how easy it was to rewrite the whole auth layer in Oso. Never heard someone describe being "blown away" building an auth layer but h

Not to mention that every time you start Storybook, it seems to compile itself. At Aha! we use it for hosting our component library (which are web components written in Stencil, and which don't require webpack to be built), and even th

Just FYI, a cynic is someone who assumes people are selfish. A lot of people confuse it for pessimist.

Dang! I did test on iPad at one point. Thanks for the heads up.

Funnily enough, I built it largely to impress them when I applied last year. But they black holed me. Still happy I made it!

Shameless plug for my React library for creating interactive visualizations on the web, in case anyone wants to make similar things. Probably needs a little work to make things this sophisticated though :) https://mafs.dev/

SVG works much more naturally with React, since it’s able to be managed via the DOM. Doesn’t have to be an <img />.

SVG. It's remarkably powerful given that it supports arbitrary linear transformations and all sorts of computer graphics things.
