I don't think it is an experiment, AFAIK it is used in a widely used application by the author.

Yes, GRDB even w/ manual help is obviously not as fast raw SQLite. As much respect I have for the author "performance nearly identical as raw SQLite" is incorrect. Lighter also ach…

If you think that this library is "basically Swift/Core Data", you have to learn more about "Swift/Core Data" and what it does, and why and how.

No, both Rust and Swift can be seen as better C++'s. And both do not provide the Smalltalk like OO Objective-C has. Swift (only) on Apple platforms integrate w/ ObjC, but the core …

I once built one in Swift 4, in part to see how multithreading via SwiftNIO and using copy-on-write datastructures would compare. It held up well against the C implementation, woul…

The demo version now actually supports multiple rooms (I think the 4 or 5 last you clicked). The bigger issue usually is the lack of XOXC support (as the general API gateway lacks …

If you have them archived as iChat files on a Mac (Library/Messages/Archive), you could try Past: https://zeezide.de/en/products/past/

Thanks a lot! It is still lacking quite some functionality (check the FAQ for details), but we'll get there.

Thanks! Yes, it is very 1.0 and lacks quite some features. Message editing falls in the same batch of work like the RAM improvements and will very likely be part of 1.1.

Oh, the original comment was about the WebKit wrapper. Well, that this is using as much memory isn't very surprising. Why would Slack use less memory in a WKWebView than in an Elec…

My primary goal for Shrugs wasn't better memory efficiency but a better user experience (i.e. using native controls, having multiple windows, quicklook, etc). It uses quite some me…

In the current state it draws into a pixel buffer array which you can then display on for example an epaper display connected to a Raspi or other embedded device. 1. No. Neither. I…

I think the "only" real change is that he will need a work visa, the other aspects should remain the same. A EU citizen can freely choose his workplace in the EU (which is a reason…

If you are above the border income, the private version is less expensive (I might also be wrong, checkout https://www.finanztip.de/pkv/pkv-basistarif/ ). It only really affects pe…

@throwaway9283i - I think you are indeed wrong. AFAIK if you are self-employed the gov insurance doesn't have to take you either! Yet both have to take you using that "base tariff"…

I _think_ those things are disconnected. If you stay more than 6 month + 1 days in Germany, I think it becomes your primary tax country and you fall into the German social system (…

I can feel your pain, but that is really not what this is about. It is all about the rules/laws :-) Your's is an pretty edgy case. All people I know which have been employed depend…

That is the way more ethical thing, but it is almost never the best thing from either a financial and certainly not from a health perspective _if_ you exceed a certain income (and …

"Statusfeststellungsverfahren" is an (gov) insurance thing (the process is run by the "Rentenversicherung" (the pension fund)), it has (I think, not a lawyer) nothing to do with th…

Puh, I'm not a tax consultant, ask yours how and why that is. But you don't put VAT on off-EU invoices (not even within different EU countries I think). It's just net. I think the …
