It is a drop-in replacement. Deno has a Node compatibility mode [0] which — besides the execution — also applies to LSP, so the Node-specific idioms are processed correctly. It is not cosmically faster than tsserver, but some — including my

It is worth having Deno even if you are not using it: just as a Js/Ts LSP server (it's inbuit). Smaller and better than tss etc. Also makes much more sense for local scripting. Give it a try even if in doubt for production.

Typesense is an open source alternative. If you cannot self-host it, there is a paid cloud option. It differs from Algolia in that they do not charge by records or search operations. Instead, you get a dedicated cluster and you can throw as

Buying an inexpensive Roman coin was on my list. Not as a collectable — but as a meditation / fidget device. Makes you think about a lot of things and sort of… gives an interesting perspective. Atm a Nuka Cola bottle cap makes more sen

On a local platform a post like that would live for a couple of seconds. But it's not even the issue. You simply do not realize the depth of this brainfuckery. I good friend of mine, an objectively smart, logical and rational guy — bel

While there is an optimal text line width range, I do not enforce it with the 'ch'. Visually challenged users might use bigger font sizes — and a line would get too wide for convenient reading. There are some other issues with thi

MB jumpers that set it to a read-only mode should be a damn standard even at the consumer level. It's a real pain in the ass to remove this — it's literally the worst thing that could happen to a board.

Yep, I would suggest to go indie instead of using a posting platform. Platforms die, limit your control and growth options. Grab a domain ($1 sale at Namecheap atm), generate the site from simple markdown files using Zola (it's basical

The 500k plan: • You: 20 sites = $59. • Plausible: 50 sites = $49 (2 months free if yearly). • Fathom: 50 sites = $44 (2 months free if yearly). As you can see, they keep eyes on each other. Hence my advice. Startups are, in essence, lemona
