It was $4000 in today’s dollars, unlikely that it would have been installed in such a cheap car (1985 car prices[0]). Interesting that it cost about as much as the Apple Vision Pro. Probably had way more utility for its buyers. [0] https:&

If you need a database for online workloads (ie, your users interact with your product via reading and writing data to the database) and are ok with writing your backend in JavaScript or TypeScript, you should consider Convex. If you need f

This is kind of how Convex works under the hood, and so we might add more temporal/auditing functionality in the future (like a time-traveling debugger). You could also implement this on top of Convex, if it makes sense for your write

We open-sourced a single-machine version of the backend: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend It doesn’t use Kafka, the transaction logic is custom implemented in Rust. Convex does not have special support for

by xixixao 3y ago
Since it’s really application specific (what rows should be soft deleted, is recovery possible…), you probably want to model these like any other state. With Convex you can do things like schedule a deletion mutation 30 days from now, or ru

I prefer collocating docs with inplementation, but it requires a designed architecture to support. Example: https://github.com/xixixao/recomputer

I agree. It’s a tall order to replace all the pieces. You need: - programming language not oriented around files - PL compiler designed first and foremost for incremental complication / interpretation - New source control that’s syntax

Because it was a while ago and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone ripped it out. It’s a bit of an overkill for what it’s used for / the fact that it is not used widely in the app.

Fun fact: I used GA in Excalidraw, and it's still powering some of the interactions! https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/blob/master/package...

Super cool! Especially for low cardinality, low interactivity dashboards this approach makes a ton of sense. How is Observable going to make money off of the framework?

These are great. Most frustrating to me is that the basic commands: rm, mv, cp, touch, mkdir do not follow some of the basic guidelines, such as “ask before destructive action”. I have been reimplemting them in Rust for myself to fix this (

For some reason my brain went the opposite way and I was wondering what would an MBA in DIY skills look like.

This so well polished!! The README is great. Not much to say besides it really shows how scoping a project down can lead to success.

Agreed! It’s been used internally at Meta for so long, but I don’t miss it after adopting Tailwind.

If you haven’t, do read Outlive by Peter Attia. It discusses what we know about nutrition for certain (very little). This yet another correlation not causality result.

Specifically on the “use libraries that leverage html attributes” point: I find this “dishonest” to the overarching ideals of this manifest: If you want to follow standards, and allow view source, you can absolutely write vanilla JS, and en

I actually agree, this is the most questionable piece. I prefer (and have argued for in JS) Hack-style pipes, where the value "placement" always has to be specified. That allows arbitrary expressions on the RHS of the pipe, so for

I'm really impressed by the syntax. I have yet to find a piece of syntax I wouldn't like. Labelled arguments for example are delightful: pub fn replace( in string: String, each pattern: String, with replace

My GPT4 reports September 2023 cut off, knows SBF, but doesn’t know he’s been charged. Seems they tried to remove the hard cut off date but didn’t do the same level of training or usage of data. (For comparison it knows Cosby’s full history

All true, but you have to trust the organization(s) that manufactured your bike. And unless you’re paying $Ks of dollars the manufacturing quality is sadly going down. My main point is: You gotta trust someone. If you trust no one you shoul
