Thanks for the detailed answer. I think however that the real reason that there is a big industry to find and solve bugs is because of decision made when building and designing the software in the first place. For example if software was bu

I’m quite interested to learn and understand the line of reasoning for this comment. Care to elaborate?

That makes sense, yes we have trained ourselves to see things that don’t work as working , like frogs in boiling water!

Brings back memories. Yeah, byte, pcw and dr Dobbs journal were special.

I had never heard of the Tron project before this. I do remember Microsoft and msx however which was a Microsoft / Japanese partnership which was quite big in Japan. Anyway thanks hacker news for bring tron to my attention!

After a lifetime of fixing bugs I’m often surprised that computer systems work at all. I had something similar to the failed post office system affect me personally, and everyone just rejects that the computer system could be at fault, even

Great article! Yeah, I can remember going through a hugely painful time trying to get drag and drop working between the web version of an app on PC, tablets, and phone. I think I dropped the phone support in the end though due to the fact t

I would recommend content marketing myself, addressing a pain point that the problem solves in a blog post.

Reminds me of the 1990s. The amount of work for consultants to build business solutions with no code or low code tools was staggering, including Borland Delphi, Visual Basic, Excel, MS Access, SqlWindows, Powerbuilder, and many others. I do

Every time I see these self serve systems implemented I do wonder if they are too complicated for the normal user to figure out. I do think that users can get useful insights from their company data, but the tools are just too hard to figur

I often write some code, and then edit and correct it as I step through it, since I know there is a 99% chance that there will be bugs in it

This bring back happy memories of the Closure Compiler and using Clojurescript. I built a product back in the day using these technologies. There was definitely a lot of innovation in the Clojure ecosystem. Also I remmeber how confusing if

Former Red Hat employee. Some valid points in the article and comments.

This is really awesome. Kind of like a programmable calculator but super powerful that you can take anywhere!

Will try it out when it comes out for NodeJS!

Really nice read. Does anyone know any other good articles or videos about how to write a debugger?

This is exactly what I am working on. Code is stored as a hash of the source code and stored in IPFS and commits can be optionally confirmed by writing a confirmation to a blockchain

by zubairq 3y ago
This is actually a good point. On the project I am working on we do exactly that, we just give all functions a unique name, which is the hash of its source code and it works well

Is this article another way of saying that the user doesn't like to wait more than 100ms when they perform an action?

I just looked at the size of Sqlite in the browser as sql.js compared to WASM Sqlite in the broswer. sql.js seems to be over 2MB and WASM sqlite in just 900k, is that right? If so then does this make WASM Sqlite quite a good contender to re

Ok, so are you saying that currently Electric SQL only works with Firefox, but NOT with Google Chrome?

by zubairq 3y ago
Is the SQLite embedded in the browser?

I would not take any recommendations here, as the tool to use "depends". I would try a bunch of the tools and stick with the one that you like the best, but you need to invest the time yourself!

Looks nice, if it works for you to get your work done faster in the film industry then go for it!

A very interesting idea. At Yazz we don't do replication, but if someone creates a report in the tool and exports it as HTML then we actually export the entire app DB into Sqlite embedded in the HTML page, but any changes made to that
