@icedquinn Yep. A beautiful artifact of immutability. I have never seen them market that fact, but as someone who has gone to pains to implement soft-deletes in half a dozen PostGres systems after wishing we had it, this default with XTDB is nice.

There are probably some people out there who get annoyed that #Telegram doesn't "hoist" United States to the top of its otherwise alphabetical country account selection box. Personally, I find it a refreshing reminder that we are not privileged users here.

Fantastic , really! I especially enjoyed speci-fish-ity estelle.github.io/CSS/selector

if you are into CSS, I can't tell you how fantastic of a resource estelle.github.io/CSS/ is. I made it a few years ago. Interactive examples of almost every CSS property. Enjoy.

Me: Googling Microsoft Frontend Developer interview questions.

The question: Implement Promise based memoization with a given cache size behaving
as an LRU cache with an expiry time and auto cache burst.

Me: crying in the corner and burning my programming books

Built-in soft deletes are one of the reasons I like XTDB

@veer66 I've heard of Lua, at least. That's not much company for JavaScript in this idea, though

Zulip doesn't do anything that a good email setup can't do. But it does it beautifully for those who can't go through the work to get that email setup. It also provides archives that can be handy to newcomers; I don't know how to do that with an email system.

With a googled Android device (Gapps installed, or default AOSP) I cannot screen mirror to anything but Chromecast. Back with de-googled I could mirror to my Roku fine (same physical device). This is Defective By Design and I hate it.

Someone asked why RCF was not made sooner as it is not particularly special. I think it's because it cost about $50k in dev payroll (4 designs over 2 years- & this is not SF rates). Good software is not a fun hobby project, shipping is a grind and someone has to pay for it!

People who said that JavaScript wasn't a real programming language back in the early 2000s, you're our origin story. You created this monster.

@alcinnz Working with XML is one of those things I have to do occasionally, and deliberately try to steer clear of when possible

@trinsec They weren't especially accomplished presenters, I think, but it was good. There was a lot of comment about the nature of open-source work, and some great advancements in the menu system and the grid snap system
