It might be the opposite. Python apps still get written despite the performance hit, because understandability matters more than raw performance in many cases. Now that we’re all c…

I've used XFCE for a 2011 laptop, it was about as fast as LXDE but better polished. Windows was unusable there, and XFCE made the computer feel brand new. Only the modern websites …

I have noticed that static type checking often enables people to build systems more over-engineered than they could without it. It's not a coincidence that factory-factory-impl hap…

The train of thought is “what is everyone using? I’ll use that too”

It's not just small typos, it's the ability to explore apis, the standard library, go to definition, quickly catch any error at the location it happens, not having to memorize larg…

I agree with all your points but last I tried, the VS Code LSP was terrible. It’s hard to justify a new language when even the basics of autocomplete, inline errors and go to defin…

And if keeping in local storage a list of all pages, you can create an index html automatically in a predefined format which makes it more of a database rather than loose documents…

Not sure why this was downvoted, but I’d be very interested in learning how well does pglite compares to SQLite (pros and cons of each, maturity, etc)

It is ironic how “rewrite it in Rust” is the solution to make any program fast, except the Rust compiler.

This. Making something super customizable is a lot harder to implement (code being too generic, hard to reason about and debug) and often presents a worse UX ("why are there so man…

Yes, but in practice, is the difference significant enough to matter? I’m genuinely looking to see if I’m missing anything when favoring Python type system over Go’s.

I’m assuming that Python code base didn’t have thorough type hints. What if it had? Would Go still feel safer? I know these aren’t checked in runtime, but Python type system seems …

I’ve been having a different experience. Asking Claude to fix the bug again and again is annoying, so I’m still working on “pull pieces at a time, understanding each” so I do fix t…

The language and stdlib feel like a more polished Ruby, though I haven't explored it in deep. The tooling, last I checked, is what's behind - the interpreter didn't work for simple…

Yes, I believe so because it uses global type inference. I would gladly add explicit types everywhere instead of this to use Crystal if it had decent tooling, because everything el…

Hey, just a shoutout that I love this platform, had a lot of fun playing several games with my nephews, high quality games with almost zero ads, kudos!

Our team considered Render but dropped for the same reason. We’re looking into Aptible right now, not as well known but seems focused on HIPAA compliance.

I like it. It’s an elegant solution and you can easily make higher order components from this.

That's not pedantry, that's clarifying, haven't thought like that before. Thank you.

I was curious about that as well. Since most services implement an email based Forgot Password feature, and 2FA tokens are also often email based, why isn't magic links the default…

Yes, with Solargraph. It uses type inference most of the time, and when it can’t guess the type, you can add YARD comments. Intellisense also works well (autocomplete).

There is often opposition - if the company I work for asks "what should we build the next app on?", React is the default answer that doesn't need convincing anyone, while SSR is mu…
