We are finalizing an electron app as we speak. That will allow recording anything that runs on your own system

Will try to push a fix in the next few hours. We are instantiating the monaco editor with a custom font (Source Code Pro) before we're sure the font has loaded, which throws of the…

Right now, only js is supported out of the box, but I guess any language that can run via web assembly or other techniques could work. WebContainers has experimental python support…

Hey HN, I'm Sindre, CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). We originally launched Scrimba to make video learning more interactive for aspiring frontend developers. So instead of passively watchi…

In my experience the accuracy is at least a bit better than whisper-small on their enhanced models. But we've just started using it so haven't had time to do many direct comparison…

Did you try their enhanced models? We're using it for relatively high-quality audio files and their accuracy is better than the whisper small.en model. More importantly, their word…

We've been researching different speech models at Scrimba, and went for Whisper on our own infrastructure. A few days ago I stumbled onto Deepgram, which blows whisper out of the w…

Yes, I've also had this experience with React. I've created several imba apps with more complex UI than an average webstore and still rerender from root without even being close to…

Everything rerenders from the root of the editor (that is - not the syntax highlighting of the code itself - as that is handled by monaco).

The ltree extension is fantastic if you have data like comments or any other hierarchical structure.

The ltree extension ( https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ltree.html ) is perfect for this usecase.

Brilliant! We're well on our way to migrating. The experience has been buttery smooth so far. And the codebase itself is really well organized. Huge thumbs up!

What a coincidence seeing this on HN. Great lib! I actually experimented with replacing our use of node-postgres with this today. Your lib was the reason I finally got around to sh…

I played through it myself and tbh I think the video doesn't do it justice. I haven't been this blown away in years. Until I got to take over the controls I was utterly convinced t…

Yeah, it's not really optimized for that. The floating labels over the code examples are offset in 3d space (for a subtle parallax effect while scrolling), so when HW acceleration …

I will try to add v2 to that benchmark relatively soon - it is a lot faster than v1 and has a much lower memory footprint and faster initial load time :) Should probably combine it…

Tbh, I think the js-framework-benchmark is flawed. It mostly tests the performance of the browser. I should write a whole blog post about this. Just as an example, all the table be…

You can typeset variables, parameters etc (ie. see the code in https://dev.to/somebee/global-type-augmentations-with-automa... ). But declaring standalone types is still done in `.…

Yeah, the typescript-imba-plugin does quite a lot of magic and might be a little rough to get into. We essentially do the type-checking by compiling the files to js with jsdoc anno…

Yes, there are plans for an imba course on scrimba! It is almost comical, but scrimba was originally created with the sole purpose of teaching people Imba. Here we are, 4 years lat…

There is built-in type-checking, but currently only via the tooling. It integrates with TS as a language service plugin ( https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Writing-a-Lan…
