This is a great point, and you are right. However, using cpack+cmake makes the packaging pretty easy, gets the dependencies right for you. The problem is in dealing with all the pa…

This was perhaps the biggest reason I moved to Linux full-time about a year ago. I just got sick of not being able to write software and have people use it. The solution might be a…

I agree with your sentiment, but I want 100% Linux about a year ago and it's been much better than OSX. Yes, there are downsides - I really miss the iPhone "continuity". But the bu…

This is what I kept thinking as well. In my experience big companies can't get things done and people fly under the radar all the time not doing anything.

100% agree and do the same. There's no way I'd let one of those things touch the network. That is insane for a techie and even scarier that normal people live that way.

Asahi Linux[1] is unbelievably great on Apple Silicon. It's honestly the best Linux install experience I've ever had. 1. https://asahilinux.org/

Just did this. I am so much happier. As a lifelong Apple user, and side-quest Linux user the choice is a no-brainer nowadays. Desktop Linux is honestly great now. I love(d) Apple b…

This sounds almost exactly like what happened to me. I was a runner and a happy overworker. I developed AFib at 38 years old after the pandemic. Studies show a 6–10x higher risk of…

Me too, but it's still much better on lichess than chess.com in my experience. Also, cheating is not as bad on lichess

I found JDBi[1] to be a really nice balance between ORM and raw SQL. It gives me the flexibility I need but takes care of a lot of the boilerplate. It's almost like a third categor…

This was happening to us > 5 years ago. The FB crawlers were taking out our image serving system as we used the og:image thing. What we did was route FB crawler traffic to a separa…

Thanks for you work on this and making it FOSS. This is the first I've heard of QuestDB. Is it production ready? Whats the scaling story? Thanks

I came to the comments with the exact same question

I was deploying code to production as it died!

Thanks! It’s in the App Store now https://apps.apple.com/us/app/force-code-morse-with-force/id...

A friend of mine is working on this privacy oriented data collection app: https://www.coepi.org

Thank you all so much for all the feedback. This community is amazing.

This is fascinating. Dasher looks incredible. I was wondering where this thing was going to go (if anywhere) after this initial "use case". I will definitely look into this. Thanks…

Thanks, and thanks for showing me ACAT. I was not aware of it but looks interesting.

Yes he is. Thanks!

I'm working on a morse code iOS app that can optionally use Force (3D) Touch. My dad had a stroke recently and is quarantined in a care facility. He can't talk but remembers morse …

I've come to the same conclusion, over the years. In the java/groovy/scala world I've written my own a couple times but have come to the conclusion JDBi [1] hits the sweet spot. 1.…

Good one, same here. About 2 years ago I started doing just this. One hour of seated meditation followed by exercise while still leaving 20-30 minutes of "nothing" time before star…
