Seriously. My advice to all, if you see "Kleppmann", click the link.

Definitely, and it's probably not very noticeable, but there's no escaping the physical problem of not a perfect 1:1 or 2:1 pixel ratio. Say you have a UI element that's supposed to be 9px wide. If you have perfect 2:1 pixel

I think this always applies. For instance the border on this textarea is 1px. There's nothing the OS can do, it's a physical issue. If UI scaling is 1.5, the correct answer for the size of the border is now 1.5 physical pixels. Th

I don't think that's possible? Say if you had a perfect 1px wide black line @1x and then you change UI scaling set to 1.5, you now have a 1.5px (physical) wide line. Which means you'll get blurring.

I suppose if you put it quite far away, a 27" 4k @2x scaling would work well. It'd feel like a 24" 1080p monitor with retina sharpness. For all the folks confused why I'm saying you don't want a 27" 4k monitor

What scaling do you run it in? If you do @2x things are massive for my taste and you don't have enough screen real estate (same space as 1920x1080).

If you go to true 2x scaling, things will be the same size as 1920x1080@1x on a 27". For me, that's HUGE and you don't get enough screen real estate for a 27". If you use 1.5x scaling you will lose sharpness because thin

For text rendering, 4k doesn't really work for 27" or bigger. It'd work for 24" because you could do true @2x, but there aren't many out there. For 27", besides the UltraFine 5k, I'd prefer just using @1x

"Usually, I hear that from people who build an app/product/software without a market validation" It's an argument against using the quote to suggest that you don't need to validate ideas against real users.

Just that if two people make changes at the same time on different clients, I don't have much control over merging those changes together with Firebase (that I know of). I think it's just a "last change wins" type system

Just a counter datapoint, the Firebase comparison is what got me to click on the link and check it out. I'm a huge Firestore fan... here's what would get me to try something new: - Better user permissions, ability to actually see

Good tips... setting timers really helps me. It's mini-accountability. Start a timer and say "I'll finish this task in 30 minutes". It helps my brain skip the random "new tab twitter.com" behavior.

Nice! Love the idea, the visuals and the music. It feels weird to press right to go left when you're on the underside of a box (though I understand why, and not sure what the alternative is). Most of my deaths were due to pressing the

Hopefully helpful feedback from someone interested in this kind of thing: 1) I was assuming "Get Started for Free" means there's a free trial followed by a subscription fee type service. 2) It would go a long way to have a li
