    Don’t you have to manually “refresh” Postgres materialized views, essentially making it an easier to implement cache (the Redis example in the blog post) rather than the type alway…

    In the ancient times there was a startup called The Grid. Very hyped. They implemented the Cassowary layout algorithm for the web and called it GSS. I loved the idea of GSS but it …

    sourcehut isn’t weird at all. It’s made by Drew Devault who is mostly well-respected in the hacker community, and it’s made exactly to be an alternative to BigCo-owned source hosts…

    Feels similar to `sd` ( https://github.com/chmln/sd ) which in my mind was the first “replace” version of ripgrep grep -> ripgrep sed -> sd

    The argument made here is like “RIP C” now come over to my new project: “C++”. Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Neither C nor Jekyll are dead.

    I’d imagine it’s more like an adjacency list structure with various indexes (similar to a regular relational dbs) to allows lookups based on node properties

    My impression is that most editors already use this or similar optimized data structures for representing the text internally.

    Headline is a bit rich, since duckduckgo exists (and Bing/Microsoft if you really stretch it). I get the point though -- duckduckgo doesn't provide a browser. But I'm guessing Brav…

    Totally agree – KaTeX is good enough. Browser implementors should spend their time on other things.

    The first part rings dangerously close to solipsism in my ears, and once you’re there nothing much matters. Just trash the planet, use people and move on. Cause once you’re dead it…

    Colonialism still exists in the form of lopsided trade economics. Most of Africa is not able to trade freely with EU, creating a favorable economic situation for the EU. I'm not su…

    As an early user -- the speedups are very real! Feels great to just skip build step after build step, due to Docker-like layers.

    We got hit by this as well. Very similar story to this and others shared in this thread: Use an S3 bucket for user uploads - and Google then marks the bucket as unsafe. In our case…

    Given the opinion expressed in this blog post I wonder how the author intends to process data that they don’t know the type of :P Yes, Haskell is born out of academia. That’s where…

    How do you manage the bare metal cluster? (E.g. apt/yum updates but also networking and such)

    Thank you so much for this reply! Cloudflare Workers as a way of bypassing whitelisted Cloudflare IPs makes a lot of sense, and of course is an attack vector that needs to be mitig…

    We're building Eduflow ( https://www.eduflow.com ) – a light-weight LMS born out of some of the same frustration aired in this thread: LMSs are to enterprisey and seem to be design…

    This. IMO he's still a "rockstar". It's just the Node and JS community that hypes everything disproportionally (they used to at least). The fact that he single-handedly built Apex …

    Hi Jakob – thank you – we're thrilled to hear that! We, at Peergrade, strongly believe that there's a lot to be gained if students share more of their experience (knowledge gained,…
