I had an idea for frontend/desktop app. Ok. Let's create it using the world's most popular choice: React. Running create-react-app: empty app is already pulling several hundreds of dependencies, 70 of which are no longer supported or were deprecated 🤦‍♂️

One of the cool things about JavaScript is that all numbers are floats, so all loop iterators and incremented counters will eventually get stuck

Simple and easy explanation of HyperLogLog: djhworld.github.io/hyperloglog/

Civ 2 is probably the first game I've ever played. Up to this day Civ 6 is by far the most played game on my Steam account.

PaulColomiets 🇺🇦 Armin Ronacher ⇌ The most popular http library “hyper” has three main dependencies called "http”, “http-body” and“http-body-utils” that defines only types. Out of this, the package “http-body” only has a single trait inside. One package for a single trait. Madness These should by part of hyper

I still would like to move permanently to Kyoto. I also love Tokyo vibes. But after 2 weeks in Singapore it hast be be said: this city is more convenient. It's one of the best designed in the world and probably the closest to a vision of solarpunk megalopolis as we get so far.

Incredible Zig project: Lightpanda Browser for headless usage. It is built from scratch, no Chromium / Webkit dependency Superfast! 11x faster than Chrome while keeping super low memory footprint (9x less)

Most hashing algorithms are designed to avoid collisions. What if they weren’t? Locality-sensitive-hashing (LSH) is a way to group similar inputs into the same “buckets” with high probability. Collisions are maximized, not minimized.

TIL that Swift has state machines at the language level. You can use types to define each state, and use `where` to define what actions are available when you're in that state. Clean 👏 David K 🎹 could on dream of this in JS...

Fun fact: rust needs to generate random numbers in the standard library for hash maps and sets. But that's not exposed. This is how many dependencies adding the latest version of the popular rand crate pulls in that everybody uses:

Implementing a web socket connector with Rust. Crucial points: queues messages to be send without blocking and auto-reconnects on connection failure under the hood. While this is trivial in other PL, I'm surprised with the amount of mental gymnastics that it requires in Rust.

I started to believe that social media became net negative brain rot. But Mastodon taught me that the issue is The Algorithm. Now: I don't observe politicians and constantly mark such tweets as not interesting and blocking them, yet >50% of my feed is political propaganda.

Tbh. I like this approach that bun offers: provide rich stdlib, batteries-included and fast platform to an ecosystem which always gravely missed it.

I am importing the MVCC implementation based on Hekaton me, Piotr Sarna, and v did to the Limbo source tree. Nothing to get excited about, it's full of bugs and not even integrated to the core. But you gotta start somewhere to fix SQLite writes! github.com/tursodatabase/…

Building a query optimizer sounds fun—until you actually start building one and feel the pain 😅 skyzh.dev/blog/2025-02-0…

Early Civ 7 opinion: plays nice, but it's unbalanced as fuck (esp. if you abuse mechanics) and it's clear that it has a lot of cut/unfinished content, which will be probably added as paid DLC (on top of $70-130 that you already have to pay).

What is the status of JVM Panama project? Any ETA?

Another day wasted because Rust actix actors are incapable of using &self in async methods. In general, it's incredible that given how well actor model fits rust ownership philosophy, the ecosystem has 15 halfcooked crates to do it and they all sucks in their own unique ways.
