For me the main one is in-app browser with feedback you can do that's native to its elements lika a network inspector. All "real" browsers felt too broken when I tried them. The bad part of the setup is: you still have to tel

We went this path: pg -> peerdb -> clickhouse replica, then pg -> another pg with pg_clickhouse extension -> clickhouse This way we keep querying without changing the query language (use same postgres syntax), but switch connect

It's great, but it's not incremental like git, e.g. you do need to make a full backup periodically, unfortunately. I didn't understand that, and after 5 months of usage caught my backblaze to be using 40TB, and nightly restor

We're now migrating to React, but have some very large Elm projects still in prod. The biggest thing for me from practical perspective was to "freeze" some pieces of DOM to be guaranteed to not change/re-created, so that

I was using TimescaleDB some very long time ago, things have changed quite a lot since (it's now even named differently). In my current setup I was thinking on doing both: upgrading postgresql to timescaledb (to archive old data etc.),

Pure by default, type classes (traits), no inheritance, type level lifetime computation. It's not only more functional it's much more type-safe and closer to Haskell in spirit

Most of my team's development happens on beefy desktop machine in incus containers per dev+project (so you run yourname-projname-dev). It has its own tailscale inside so you can open it like regular https website or give to another dev

That's exactly what I do with Chrome, use it for Google Meet and some websites that work best in Chrome (heavy apps like Figma or whatever). 99% it's Firefox.

I use Chrome because at Google Meet it renders a nice separate window with mute/unmute controls as you switch to another tab and screen share. Curious if Google plans to allow other browsers doing that too.

I've spent long time writing Haskell and now write Rust professionally, so let me tell you something. The stuff where you really want to "program in types" lives beyond Haskell, in languages like Agda, Idris, some HoTT stuff

What you cannot do is compile-time safety guarantees, and in languages like Rust type system isn't strong enough to do some advanced compile-time guarantees (via types). So no, you cannot do this in basically any language (unless you t

Never thought of Zed as Sublime replacement, but now that you've mentioned – why not? I use Sublime only as blazingly fast temp note taking that doesn't lose them on exit, but I see Zed fits the job perfectly. One less close produ

Did you try Incus? Gives you VM-like experience in a container

by k_bx 6mo ago
I just realized that `apt install emacs-nox` is a great editor in containers and VMs. I just have to disable it every damn time (for regular and root user). Defaults would be better.

by k_bx 6mo ago
By default I mean whatever you get by doing `sudo apt-get install emacs-nox` I disagree about "tough". Emacs has changed for the better in new releases quite drastically in the last years in my experience.

They are hostile to me proposing a better (IMO) default

by k_bx 6mo ago
I was proposing to make default where those files are not created, since Emacs is actually surprisingly great out of the box with no configuration, except for this "little" thing. Apparrently, some people believe it's perfect

It's a very different experience: - I already have tmux launched, if ssh drops – I can continue - I don't have to match windows to ssh sessions -- just have them in my tmux

I do too, it’s just that I’ve realised that emacs-nox is awesome container / vm editor out of the box, this backup thing is the only most annoying part (and Ubuntu 22.04 emacs packages expired cert)

by k_bx 6mo ago
Yes I’ve added this to hundreds of containers and vms at this point (setq make-backup-files nil)

What I would love to see is "tig" replacement that is: - even faster, especially if you have couple thousand files and just want to press "u" for some time and see them very quickly all get staged - has this split-view d

No I'm using Bitwarden and hate it :)

by k_bx 7mo ago
Bitwarden is a shit product lacking basic niceties: search is terrible (substring match is beyond first page of results), UI is sometimes non-async (typing freezes search), no way to sort by newest/date added, no way to make two note (
