Saw this last year and liked it so much I added something very similar to it to Infumap ( https://github.com/infumap/infumap ). You can drag items of arbitrary type onto dates. When more than one item is associated with

I was not expecting to loose karma for this comment! I have a couple of years familiarity with SolidJS and thought the two key insights that came to mind from building a large project in it would have positive value. Apparently not!

I'm using SolidJS for Infumap ( https://github.com/infumap/infumap ), which is getting pretty big. Two main comments that come to mind: Because the state -> DOM mapping is non-trivial for my application, I ended

No, they pass it through successively intensive process conditions, each of which selects for a different plastic type. No need to wash, their process is water based and some contamination from organic material actually helps in saturating

Results will vary a lot with all the parameters (of which there are many). They don’t disclose all the detail but I know they have done thousands of tests across the parameters space. I know they believe they can process sludge produced fr

Aduro’s tech works with hard to recycle, dirty, mixed plastic. Search for Eric Appelman interview on YouTube for more info. Some of the retail investor coverage is cringeworthy, but my take is the tech is likely as good as described (disclo

Disturbing observation: 5 years ago, the trends that seemed most important to me were all technical - I really paid no attention to politics. Today, they are mostly geo-political.

In the context of a company, the higher up you get (on a technical track), the more you need to operate across different projects, technologies etc. - being able to jump into new things is mandatory/expected. But having deep knowledge

You can tune Kafka down fairly well if you know what you're doing, but it's not optimised for that OOTB. Or just use Confluent Cloud, which is fully managed and scales down as low as you want (costs cents per Gb). Disclosure: work

FWIW, I didn't mean to suggest this was coordinated. I take the point that my comment here is of low value. I do believe related issues will perhaps turn out to be the most important of my lifetime though, and it's unusually trick

At the moment you more or less need to write a DBMS in your app code, but I don't think that's the end state. I think what we're seeing the beginnings of something big - it just might not seem like it yet because it's th

nice! related, we just added similar capability to librdkafka (the C client) to facilitate better integration testing. hopefully we will expose it in the bindings as well at some point.

there are pros and cons to having a C dependency. the main benefit is reliability (get it right once, leverage that across languages). Another benefit is usually performance. The main practical gotcha is that security dependencies are incom

In Blazor, what is sent to the browser is a .NET runtime, then the .net assemblies (which are .NET CIL, not wasm) which the runtime executes. They seem to have this working well, but it's less efficient than, for example, Rust which ha

quite the contrary, people are quickly moving away from the .net framework towards .net core, which is now objectively better and moving at a fast pace. I help maintain a popular open source library for .net. We develop on MacOS using VS Co
