I mostly focus on a short topic. For example, regular expressions, grep/sed/awk, etc. I prefer having plenty of examples and exercises while learning, so that's what I do while writing the books as well.

For producing the ebook, I use pandoc (https://learnbyexample.github.io/customizing-pandoc/) to convert from markdown to pdf/epub versions. I also use mdbook to create web versions.

Agreed, but at least with the override mechanism being as visible as the test suite, you have assured that more people will know about it (bringing it "to the surface") and you might even have the override in source control (documented). These aspects are increasing the chances someone will say "Let's just follow the process."
this has a nasty side-effect with NFS, at least <= version 3. ext4 immediately makes the file being unlinked invisible in the filesystem namespace, and then blocks while it does the work of deallocating the space.

the NFS client will issue the unlink() call, not hear anything back from the NFS server as it's blocking doing the unlink(), and then eventually time out and retry the operation. at which point the server immediately will return ENOENT as the is no visible file at that path.

the annoying thing is that this interaction leaks through into userland programs, and then to users, who see "no such file or directory" errors which cause great confusion. I've seen this multiple times in HPC environments.

For white collar it's probably a different story. These are people the book mentions, bachelors or married couples choosing not to have kids for 'selfish' reasons. They have the money to thrive and experience as much personal pleasure as they want, be it in consumerism or plain free time, and don't want children to take away from that. But for retail workers, If one day doesn't break the bank (due to their low income already disqualifying them from taking on too much of a debt obligation), and a day working retail is another day of pure agony, they're more likely to take the hit by calling out sick or not showing up to instead do the things they want to do.

i like this idea. I would use something like this but it would need to present me with a way to sort into two buckets: personal spend and LLC spend. I would instantly stop paying quickbooks the $15/mo for that app.

I feel there are many use cases for an app that can just regularly pull financial transactions, perform a function on them and spit out an email on a regular basis or on some kind of a trigger.

I wrote a SaaS tool for letting me know when a stock sale would trigger a wash sale event for tax purposes. I host it at https://washsaleadvisor.com. It uses plaid to pull the trade transactions from most bank APIs and sends me a daily email with useful info. The last feature I added was refactoring the wash sale functionality into WASM functions and then put a code editor in the dashboard. Anyone who signs up could theoretically turn "wash sale advisor" into basically any operation that iterates through transactions and renders an email and sends via sendgrid.

The personalfinance subreddit is quite good in terms of learning and getting questions answered.

I use beancount, it is a great fit for a specific type of user who can put up with double entry and who wants to run sql-ish queries on their transactions and who doesn't need a GUI. It probably won't work if you are not all those things but if you are it is great.

Conceptually, I would suggest looking into books that do a basic job of explaining accounting- balance sheet, income statement, cash flow. While it is a much bigger space than the world of personal finance, personal finance itself has gotten very complex, with lots of seemingly indistinguishable places/apps to put money. The indistinguishable becomes just crisply defined if one has the basics of accounting.
This one is a little interesting. It seems like the word used seems to affect the output. "type" or "def" often yields arbitrary code except in this case.

> Waypipe requires software rendering from any server that doesn't happen to have its own headless GPU.

X has to do that with DRI and client side rendering too, doesn't it?

> As long as Wayland doesn't deliver a remote rendering protocol, the best path forward seems to be shipping Javascript apps to a browser on the end user's machine (where his GPU will be available).

Why does that seem like the best path forward? Seems crazy. For incidental things, admin, etc., software rendering would be fine. The right path forward for a high performance application that needs to ship data to a client that can render it would be to transfer that data, not the drawing of it.
I just wish Firefox would stop trying to open external programs when I type "site:" in the address bar. It's so annoying to type "site:example.com hello" and just get a "No apps available" dialog and have to retype my search, manually specifying a search engine that time. I'm not sure if it's a bug with Snap, Firefox, or both, but it is beyond infuriating.

Does it? It’s 3%. If it was 15% or 20% maybe you could say that.

It’s less than “unknown” and less than ChromeOS which is just over 4%. If it wasn’t a round number, I don’t think anyone would ever write this article because the number is just too small.

It’s nice that it seems to be growing. I just don’t think this is a big achievement.

This is mostly wrong?

> The reason gamers want higher framerates is mostly for lower latency,

"Gamers" are absolutely not a monolithic group, but in general, they mostly want higher frame rates because higher frame rates does a better job of feeling and looking fluid.

> faster reaction times,

60 fps is 16 ms per frame. The end to end latency for a decent video game setup will be ~50 ms, and it's pretty well decoupled from frame time. The actual frame time will only constitute a small fraction of the overall latency. Most setups will have an end-to-end latency of 100ms. So the difference between 60fps and 120fps is even less cogent.

> and a bigger advantage in online play.

Most gamers play in 30fps or 60fps on console. There is definitely a lot of folks playing framerate sensitive games (like CS:GO) on PC which do benefit from increased framerate, up to ~300fps (above that gets complicated). But the vast majority of gamers are limited by skill and will see marginal benefit above 60.

> DLSS 3 'fakes' it's higher frame rates. As a result you might have 120 fps, but it's going to feel like 60hz.

Visually it looks a lot like 120. Digital Foundry has a video on this. Outside of definitely noticeable visual artifacting 120 fps with DLSS3 looks and plays like... 120 fps. Saying it feels like 60 is a wild thing to say.

It's possible that all games today running DLSS3 poll the input at the true frame rate, rather than that with the frame gen, but if we're talking about the difference between a 60 poll per second versus a 120 poll per second that difference in latency is only going to affect the top tier of players in the kinds of games where millisecond latency matters (an inherently niche set)

You could say that all gamers want the absolute best possible 300+fps setup to their online play, but where they're not primarily limited by skill, they're going to be predominantly limited by budget. Doubling your framerate from raw compute alone will more than double your cost.

There are valid criticisms to DLSS3. I've never heard or seen anything you're mentioning here.

+1 to no labor shortage in the construction industry. Good luck getting trained as a tradesman outside the unions. Joining a union is a practical impossibility if you're a white male. You'll be subsidizing your non-union employers with your own savings as an apprentice well into your journeyman career. You'll be sitting idle unpaid in between jobs, when it's raining or snowing, when your car doesn't start... Even when employed, you'll have no benefits, no health insurance, no paid vacation. You'll be competing for the scarce work with people who're in this country without a work permit. Guess what the going wage is for your services.

If you imagine a scenario where this works well enough that it's a viable alternative to actually buying a Vision Pro for development ... I can forsee it being a problem for them in terms of (a) direct sales - I could easily see shops fitting out their dev team for 1/4 the cost with Quest Pros instead of Vision Pros but more importantly (b) concern that it will lead to crappy apps being developed. That is, devs using non-Apple hardware will naturally curtail what they build to things that actually work in the dev hardware they are using. That means advanced features of the real Vision Pro won't get properly supported (or omitted altogether).

Of course, that is still miles away from where this is now. But it seems tantalising that it could possibly go there.

When you start talking sizes rather than for a purpose, most of them are "what fraction of an em are they": https://unicode-explorer.com/articles/space-characters

An "en space" (half-em) is pretty close though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character#/media/...

And web browsers muddied the water a lot, since rendering two spaces is generally done by rendering two spaces, unless you're on the web and then have to do something special (some people do! &nbsp; is pretty common). Personally I think this alone is the biggest influence that trained generations that one space is the majority and therefore the most correct.

I wish they called the zero-width spaces "non-space", so we could have both &nbsp; (non-breaking space) and &zwsp; (breaking non-space).

Good question. Yes it's the biggest question of course, what to do about cross platform. I started this codebase during iOS 7 so Flutter didn't exist yet, but I did decide to lean into serving a niche better than going wide from the start, which is why I stuck with native.

I'm pursuing a "Transmission app"-like model - native frontend, cross platform core (+ also some cross platform frontend, in my case). I believe this can translate to high value for users, and I get positive feedback on the design and native feel of my apps.

I have a lot of this app implemented within the webview/user scripts and am expanding the web part more with my next (adjacent/overlapping) project. I'll also be using Flutter for the upcoming mpv player as a component. This is still unsolved for me though, so far I am creating optionality and a direction toward a solution, but yes I need to go faster than just myself (and I refuse to seek investors for anything).

I'm also trying to get some worker cooperative structures going with one or two others on adjacent projects, around some shared codebase foundations, strategically to expand faster into web or other platforms. I bought IndieDevStack.com and will later blog about and also productize this approach with another app + open source.
