I've been using it in production for 8 years in Boomla. It's closed source though. I haven't found any prior art myself, so just went from first principles. Take a look at the data structure of Git for inspiration. (Merkle tr

Care to elaborate? How is reading from an append-only file backed by a memory indexed DB slower compared to either 1) a mutated file, or 2) either append-only or mutated raw NVMe disk storage? I mean, what's the trick NVMe can do to be

Is there any performance gain over writing append-only data to a file? I mean, using a merkle tree or something like that to make sense of the underlying data.

What do you mean by modules?

For me it’s less readable/pleasant due to too strong contrasts, line-height, font-size. Also, as a result, need more scrolling.

I was waiting for this! Thank you! Consider some parametrization, like swapping dehyped title (better than orig!), and showing/collapsing summary and comments by default. Ideally via url params for bookmark persistence.

Exactly. I’d much more prefer to explore the opposite direction: figuring out how much you can hack the rules of the game. That fosters creativity while the other fosters bluntly following rules.

But there are ecosystems of people doing that research into significantly new efforts. I'm thinking of Idris and Agda, for example. > We need more imagination and more bold deviations from the norm This is what I reacted on, a bit t

The title is incorrect, npm malware spreads through social engineering, not social engineering through npm malware. I expected npm packages to somehow carry the social engineering, like carry a message somehow, but that’s not the case.

You are phrasing it like a universal truth. If this is important to you, do something about it. Otherwise you are just complaining.

To avoid shared mutable state, you either need copy-on-write (hence shared but not mutable) or mutable but not shared. I understand this is the second approach.

Just because it is an immutable value doesn’t mean it needs to live on the stack. That said, I was wondering about a similar thing: what if I modify a 1GB string? Is it copy-on-write? I feel like it can be optimized away 99% of the time onl

This is not tipping. Tipping is giving money without being asked. When you are asked, it is called begging.

That’s not as shocking as you’d think. While FB may not know you well, we don’t either. :)

A no-code-first web application platform. Initially I started with a website builder because it was a subset of the entire thing, which was just too big to take on from the get go. I'm currently in a position where the core tech is way

Advice that's generic to some may be novel to others. I'm currently in the phase where I have been struggling as explained in the article and I'm looking to do sales now. It was great reassurance to read.

The only real difference is that Verisign makes more money than omg.lol, hence they have more resources and incentives to not screw you over. That, of course, has incredible weight, and indeed I'd not trust omg.lol while I do trust Ver

Which in the end is true for domains as well. Someone decides to sell subdomains of X, weather X is com or omg.lol. Com could be free as well. The only real difference is choice. Or to put it differently, you say it doesnt need registration

I’m a skinny / athletic person. The reason is a doctor told my parents not to feed me any sugar until age 2-3, as fat cells are created up to that age. After that, they only change in size. I don’t know if that’s a scientifically prove

> __My issue is in identifying what other people want.__ Probably accurate. So that’s what you need to figure out then. It’s great you are aware of it, now make it the nr.1 most important thing in your life.

You can overload their servers as they pass on any URL to you. Just make sure their resource usage is significantly more than yours. Eg. serving a gzipped response that contains millions copies of the same URL to your site. Ideally, make it

I had a classmate in secondary school with whom we seem to have shared a very similar brain wiring to the point where we wrote identical tests in physics. I believe for maybe two years. As soon as he got his result, I knew mine & vica v

I think Tailwind is great but I agree with many of the issues raised. I desperately needed a _language_ instead of a framework back when Tailwind was still a framework. As I could not get any response from them, I ended up rolling my own ca

Are you sure you are solving a real problem? Seems to me you must be really smart and found a cool idea to work on. If that’s your hobby, cool. If you want others to use it, make sure you nail the problem you are solving and that it resonat
