Like I said, if one likes Clojure but has to write for a Lua-enabled platform, Fennel is the best choice today, since there's no Clojure dialect for Lua, like ClojureScript or ClojureDart. Fennel although inspired by Clojure, still a very different language. Phil Hagelberg, AKA @technomancy, is the maintainer, a well-known and highly respected Clojurista.

I did faced this scenario a couple time when working on application that would work offline, a few of those I was involved in:

- try to reduce the amount of paper based catalog we were sending out to customers, those were a couple thousands of pages and not cheap to produce, not cheap to send and would get deprecated very quickly. The web app would be pulling the entire catalog at first load so customers could go in remote location and still be able to use the catalog

- a web app for sales that was intended to be use on customer site containing all the marketing materials and much more during presentations on site without ever having to connect anywhere
I don't think it's true, Blender happened to work and is now used by professionals, but some tools like PhotoShop or Adobe Premiere, Ableton, or even Word/Excel for that matter, don't have an equivalent that could replace them anytime soon.
Me too, actually. Maybe that would have been a more notable thing for me to mention. I use and contribute to Spacehammer.

Ha, amusing read—thanks for the chuckle.

I paid for Sublime Text 3 while I was still using it. Even though I switched away (to Vim/Neovim, then Kakoune, then Helix), I don’t regret it at all. It was a fantastic tool I used for about two to three years, and it brought me far more value than the $70 it asked for in return.

In fact, I’ve since bought a ton of other software when it’s proven useful more than the free alternatives. I’m particularly happy when it’s sold by a small team, just like Sublime. Some favorites I currently have installed: Acorn, Fantastical, Ivory, Monodraw, Things, Transmit, and Tweetbot (RIP).

I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexible and super fun to use.

Fantastical is awesome. I wish Flexbits make a macOS email client, but they don’t seem interested.

Not Sublime Text, but I prefer BBEdit these days. It's way more responsive that VSCode, trivially easily to extend with shell scripts, Python, or whatever other language you want to write, and has fine LSP support so it can do most of the magic stuff that VSCode can.

I used VSCode for quite a while. I like it. I just strongly prefer truly native apps with native user interfaces. Not having to build a JavaScript package to add any little bit of extra functionality is also pretty sweet.

Because it’s easy to shift VFX work to another location. Even a decade ago, VFX studios were popping up almost overnight in Vancouver. All you needed was to rent some space and thin clients. Today we barely need to rent any space.
Nope. The way we build things from the ground up has to change. Literally build things. Flat topped buildings made out of steel and concrete surrounded by pavement generate tons of heat that doesn't get dissipated, which cascades into creating high pressure air bubbles around towns and cities that prevent rain from approaching. That cascades even further into affecting weather and creating droughts, because all the pavement prevents water from being absorbed by the ground and entering the water table. That water creates flash floods since the ground underneath the pavement is too dry to absorb it, creating a vicious cycle where the water table drops even further and the soil compacts and becomes even more hydrophobic.

We have to stop building parking lots everywhere, stop building flat top highrises, stop using concrete and steel, build everything with roofs designed to absorb heat and transfer it into the ground instead of radiate it, tear up a good chunk of the highways, parking lots, and surface streets, plant tons of trees and broad leaf greenery to shield from heat with shade and absorb it, and refill the water tables by pumping water back into the ground. All of which costs a ton of money. And what we should do, damn the financial cost and those who decry it.

Two things that I think are quietly brewing and will erupt:

1. Gaming scene. Apple could make new profits if they figured out a way to make most existing games playable on most of their efficient hardware. Seems like they are taking steps in this direction.

2. Private AI. Apple has been building their neural engine into every device, but is yet to fully unleash its potential. Rumors say they are working on this as well.
You give couple of examples, but we have counter examples. Office, Windows, Photoshop are monopoly for more than 2 decades.

OnePlus 7T with /e/ OS. It's comes with SD 855+ which is pretty tough processor. Have been using it for almost 4 years now and not a single hiccup.

Battery life is also good till now. I get around 4-5 hours if Screen-on-time with heavy usage which is satisfactory for me. 855+ is quite optimised processor.

I had OnePlus 2 earlier, which also a good device. But it got damaged due to falling in waterfall.

I'm planning to run a mobile linux on my OnePlus 7T like Ubuntu touch or Postmarket OS (with GNOME shell) but they still do not support my phone model.

Does anyone know if there is any mobile linux that supports OnePlus 7T?

How so? After several years at Amazon and several years of knowing people at other companies it’s apparent the ones at Amazon have a totally different standard of living - one without having Olympic medals (apparently Google publishes a list of Googler-olympians) or famous friends or ski trips. And they don’t even know people that do these things, even though it’s common at Google.

I didn’t even ever meet a Harvard grad when I was at Amazon - it’s hard to not meet one at Google or Jane Street (more so the later of course).

To remind you, I don’t know any and nobody I know knows anybody that knows a presidential candidate, but I go on Twitter for 5 minutes and see a Yale grad with 15 mutual with Vivek. It’s obvious there’s a big club of elites with accomplishments I can’t even dream of and I’m not in it or anywhere close to it.

And yeah, you gotta get good for all of those but everyone starts with some talents (and I have none). Ive been “lifting” for years with zero improvement (probably a protein thing but I’m also fat and vegetarian, the former is probably genetics too despite my failed attempts at starvation). I’ve been leetcoding for years with zero improvement. No matter what I do I’m still mediocre, still a failure no matter how much I work while everyone else gets ahead. What’s even the point of working hard if I’ve never gotten anything for it?

Nobody has ever been able to elucidate ways that I’ve ever accomplished anything, ever.

Ironically, fraud. They have done substantial financial and "real" harm by pretending to be competent at things that they are clearly not, and have been a combination of remiss in their duties and complicit in the crimes of fraudsters.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice, and should be prosecuted as such.

Right, because it's expensive and difficult and would make the train cost more.

This looks interesting for read heavy distributed apps. I.E fly.io/aws lambdas/k8s.

Each instance gets its own eventually consistent read only copy of the db. So instead of making a network request to go get some data, you query your local cache.

Your use case is that you are read heavy for this to fit your needs.

If you have a copy of the data local to you, you don’t need to go bug another team to expose it via an API.

Reading fly’s blogposts it’d be good to see more on write durability. They’re batched on the client, batched on fly’s side before being compacted to s3 from reading so you can loose writes before your client as sent them to fly, possibly loose them before fly has written to s3 depending on how they implemented.

FlyCloud might make a great service for small typical Wordpress type sites or low user services where writes are low. It’s a shame they don’t offer pay as you go for the LiteFS product only. I get why they don’t as they want you to host with them but it’d be great if you could pay as you go on the db only.

I currently use DynamoDB for low volume stuff for cost reasons, it costs me cents. Productivity is extremely low though with Dynamo as you need to think very hard about table design and constraints and work around those constraints. It’s a lot more effort than using something like SQLLite for quick simple stuff.

I’ve gotten help, none of it has changed anything. The gist of it is just reinforcement that I’m stuck being a failure, clearly unable to progress in life due to a lack of something. Probably a mix of grit and intelligence, heavily weighted on intelligence.
Lazy loading breaks a lot of functionality.

For example, I open a webpage and then go offline. Later, I scroll down, but the content is missing.

Another time, I open a webpage and save it. But most of the content is not saved, because it has not been loaded.

The network activity is actually higher for a page with lazy-loading elements.

All-around, it does not make any sense to me, personally.
No one is saying we should only do this and nothing more. Swiss cheese plan.
It is the web developers choice to decide whether or not to deal with bad/poor internet connections. Most do not.

Lazy loading makes it impossible to do anything to manage a poor connection.
I'd assume the likes of airlines and cruise companies would all be cutting custom special deals with SpaceX, just like government, large enterprises etc? For SLAs, prioritizatoin and support if nothing else, if you're going to be dropping 6-8 figures with them the public deals are probably no longer the only thing on the menu. We know the DOD at least has custom projects going with SpaceX wrt Starlink. No idea how independent hotels, B&Bs and other small businesses might work with it though. Maybe that just comes down to selective enforcement, SpaceX has it there as one of a few possible clauses to respond with if they feel some entity is being abusive or making too much off of it. Still relatively early days too.
Mah liberties!
Let's start with what seems to me like a pretty nasty and pretty ill-informed blanket dismissal of everyone who works in the traditional energy business. There are some pretty serious downsides to the way we use fossil fuels as a society, but it's a hard problem that a lot of well-intentioned and wildly qualified people are working on around the clock. I don't know you, so you might be in some wild tail of the distribution who isn't enjoying reliable base load electricity via those people's efforts, but you're posting these comments on a computer, which means it's impossible that you're not at the end of a supply chain that only exists via their efforts. So let's start with fuck that.

From there it's (heavily) implied, but we move on to effectively asserting that anyone who has touched a byzantine fault tolerant consensus mechanism is a priori also someone who should be slammed into a 1-bit, good/evil generalization.

It takes 30 seconds of reading the rest of the the thread, or twice that searching, to know who Ms. Liskov is, and enough about her achievements to understand why she is a recipient of the most highly regarded award in computer science. Which makes it's a very dicey proposition to sweep that into the "bad" category of the 1-bit generalization. It takes 2 hours tops to read the Jepsen website enough to know that this technology is a lot more interesting than just "HODL for lambos". So I'm a "fuck that" there too.

You've also managed to wrap some double-digit percentage of all the distributed systems people on HN into this good/evil bifurcation as though doing anything on BFT ever is like selling Oxycontin to teenagers like the Sackler family or something, whether or not any of them ever made a dime speculating on cyber money. So fuck that too.

The word slur doesn't refer solely to racial epithets and stuff like that, a slur can be a backhanded dog whistle as well.
The US does that too. I'm torn on how it should be done but I don't think its a bad idea to help US companies move away from China.

Of course you can also do the same in a multi-tenant environment but naturally you wouldn’t be returning all rows in the database.
