Use a cargo workspace. Helps with both compilation speed and disk usage.

I'm working on better UI for my app AutoPTT [1]. It's probably going to look somewhat similar to Discord's settings, except I won't be using Electron. I refuse to use bloated stuff like that, so I'm going to keep us

If you're exporting more than a few commits, I suggest using local repos (/path/to/.git) for both the source and destination. Otherwise it'll be quite slow.

Oh, that actually explains a lot. I used to offer a 7-day free trial for one of my apps that you could sign up for with an email, and the vast majority of the licenses were never used. The app wasn't even downloaded that many times. I

I wonder if you could take advantage of the fact that the LLM is more likely to follow instructions that humans might miss. For example include instructions somewhere in the repo that says you must use a certain phrase in all pull requests,

Well, even if Jitsi doesn't have Push-to-Talk, you can still easily get it by using a hotkey to mute/unmute the mic system-wide. For exampple, if you're on PC, MicMute [1] can be used for free, or if you want more customizati

I've noticed similar issues with the web version of MS Teams. You can actually see what tabs are hogging CPU by pressing SHIFT-ESC to open the task manager (about:processes) inside Firefox.

Four years in, I suppose you could say I'm still "launching," so I eagerly jumped right to the marketing part to see if there was any good insight. Uh-oh. My experience has been pretty much the same. Paying for ads feels like

Of course, sometimes people realize that what they asked for wasn't actually what was needed.

I have 13 years of professional experience, and I work in a small company (15 people). Apart from one or two weekly meetings, I mostly just work on stuff independently. I'm the solo developer for a number of projects ranging from embed

It was definitely a problem with their database but I suppose it's possible that the customers were also expecting 32 bit signed ints.

Well, I'd imagine that before returning the value through their API they could just check that if the number is negative, then add 2^32 to it, which would make it look like an unsigned 32 bit integer.

That's pretty harsh. It works fine for me. But even if it didn't, I'd still use it just for uBlock Origin.

I wonder how many people realize you can use the whole 127.0.0.0/8 address space, not just 127.0.0.1. I usually use a random address in that space for all of a specific project's services that need to be exposed, like 127.1.2.3:30

I've been trying to sneak into some relevant discussions on Twitter lately. Too early to say whether that helps at all but at least my posts haven't (yet?) been deleted as self-promotion like on Reddit.

We used Riak at $dayjob at around 2014-2017 (iirc). I don't exactly remember it fondly. It was slow and unreliable. You could make it freeze/crash with the wrong SOLR query. (I was pretty good at that...)

I was running a lot of small tasks. With 3000 queued tasks my state file was around 25 MB. zstd compressed that down to 5% of the size. I have the code still if you want to look at it but it was just a quick experiment so I didn't add

AutoPTT lets you customize how push-to-talk works in apps like Discord or online games. It can even press the button for you based on voice activity, in case the program does not support voice activation natively. https://autoptt

Pueue dumps the state of the queue to the disk as JSON every time the state changes, so when you have a lot of queued jobs this results in considerable disk io. I actually changed it to compress the state file via zstd which helped quite a
