I haven't used Greenshot in a couple months, but I think I remember it being better than ksnip, will have to look again.

I found keeping an old machine or two around is enough. Old laptops are pretty much free. Generally frontend performance problems are easy to diagnose, easy enough that that's not a consideration when architecting an app in most cases.

SidewaysData needs to be able to work offline. It also needs access to serial/USB ports. Also, I prefer Java to TS etc anyway.

Greenshot is great! I use it on Windows, and ksnip on everything else atm as it has similar draw arrows/annotation features.

This was my concern with building a PWA, which is why SidewaysData is a native desktop app. The downside of course is updates, but that's manageable.

I don't use React - I like just using the DOM - so personally I rarely have client side performance issues (unless I do something really dumb).

I can't even get an LLM to accurately demonstrate how to use the Stripe API except for very basic scenarios.

Hmm. But if you can impersonate users and see what they see, doesn't that let you see the problem? Also you're describing database queries and architecture as being a potential issue. Won't APIs be just as slow for the same r

I used Windows to develop daily from 2015 or so to 2022 because it just worked. I switched to Linux because I just got tired of all the management I had to do to get the OS out of my way, and also the "just worked" part was starti

you mean like how we used to live? like when we used mostly glass and paper?

No object is kinda mind blowing since it has java interop. I guess everything just becomes maps?

> I implemented the small website you were talking about Thanks, that's neat. I'm not even talking about the framework part. Just db access. Let's say I have a Posts with a managed_by property that points to a list of User

Those all look great, including HugSQL, thanks!

In Django I would just do Posts.objects.filter(title=x) I don't need to define driver boilerplate for every query (or ever have to write it... at all).

You would abstract away the jdbc/execute part though, right? otherwise that's terribly unproductive compared to django etc.

Biff looks neat, thanks! I mainly just don't want to write raw sql/mappers to structures for simple queries. Looks like most sql libraries with clojure can just return maps so that's neat.

by winrid 2y ago
Clojure looks productive. What frameworks libraries do people use to build web apps? Like, replacement for Django view layer and ORM (not looking to debate orms thanks)?

I think pinning dependencies helps, but I have literally never seen an organization do this with Node. At one job, the "architecture review board" decided that all services would always use "latest" for all dependencies.

by winrid 2y ago
I don't disagree, but there are other issues too. Namely the Node runtime is much harder to diagnose performance issues than with even async Java, and every time this comes up it's a huge resource sink for most teams I've see

> once the project was sorted out The problem is this never happens. It's constant churn in that ecosystem to keep the build system working in any medium/large project, way more so than in any other backend runtime/package

It's not dead. I just launched an app this year with it. Users love it.

by winrid 2y ago
Ah, never thought of it that way.

Just surprising since I've never seen the social side or anyone using it. Guess I'm just not in that social bubble.

That has nothing to do with whether the DB is relational or not.
686.
by winrid 2y ago
Well, yes, and no. :)

by winrid 2y ago
No. Most NoSQL dbs support indexes and secondary indexes too. In SQL world we call this "denormalization". It's called the same thing in NoSQL, too.

Wow, never realized Pinterest had 6 petabytes of data. I wonder if they're including images in that. Even billions of rows is usually around 1-2tb, so makes you wonder what they're storing many billions of.

this is probably why they are grumpy now :)

I've been using UptimeRobot since 2019 for FastComments, relatively happy. They have a PagerDuty integration, although I just use the built in text/email alerts ATM.
