Same way you scale replication for any server, by sharding and only replicating the shards you care about. The "shard" could just be that users own feed in this case. Then you get …

Having client state just be a replica of server state solves so many problems I don't understand why the concept never caught on. Pouchdb/couchdb are still the only ones doing it a…

Now that I think about it, languages that aren't subject-verb-object probably find OOP insane. I tried to find an example of this and found a somewhat related article about how Jap…

Possibly dumb question: How do you ensure there's no data leakage when benchmarking transfer learning techniques? Is that even a problem anymore when the whole point is to learn "c…

Yea you're right, I guess there is a distinction between reinventing and reimplementing. The authors even mentioned that concurrent mode is inspired by "double buffering" from grap…

> If your app is architected to have any rendering operation take long enough that it's perceptible to the user, STOP DOING THAT THING DURING RENDERING. As is tradition, frontend d…

It's easy to gain physical intuition because you can often explain one physical phenomenon in terms of another physical phenomenon that you have much more real life experience with…

The clearest demo that communicates what this solves was given when it was announced last year. That clock animation is pure genius: https://youtu.be/nLF0n9SACd4?t=473

I was really hoping this would be about "Philosophy of Science"[0] For example in "The Problem of Induction" you can see a bajillion sunrises but can't infer that there will be ano…

Unfortunately anything screen readers can recognize as invisible, a more sophisticated bot can too.

Pretty impressive. Every anime I torrented off nyaa.si / horriblesubs was listed.

Augmented reality is a great example. Everyone knows that it will become a "Big Thing" in the future. Like why would smartphones be the final form factor of personal computing? Of …

Yea I probably shouldn't have used a quote there. The number ranges from 20% to 50% depending on which part of vancouver you look at. Point is that they aren't a minority there.

I would probably assume he's just really into Romance of the Three Kingdoms or other historical dramas where the 司馬 surname is common. Or that his real name is Zimmerman.

> every other byte of data striped across I assume you didn't mean that literally because I can't see how that will ever work out in terms of cpu cost. I think breaking it up into …

Vancouver is special since it's popular destination for rich people from hong kong/china to hide their wealth. They buy up a lot of property: > Chinese investors bought about 70% o…
