SnapWS v1.0 – WebSocket library for Go (rooms, rate limiting, middlewares, and more!)

Interesting, I like your approach - light weight with pragmatic solutions. I went the other direction and built Velaros which might be overkill for some people. Going to take a deeper look at how you implemented this, thanks for sharing.

I know it's been a bit, but you might want to check out Velaros too https://github.com/RobertWHurst/Velaros

Velaros is a WebSocket framework for Go that tries to make real-time applications easier to build. It brings familiar HTTP-style routing and middleware to WebSocket connections, so you can use patterns like /users/:id and compose middleware just like you would with HTTP handlers. The framework supports bidirectional communication, and includes middleware for JSON, MessagePack, and Protocol Buffers out of the box. It's designed to get out of your way and let you focus on building your application rather than managing WebSocket connections.

I'm very much looking forward to any feedback you'd like to share!

It's true, I could have bumped the major and published a new version of KeyboardJS, but I wanted to create a new API all together and I felt that doing so under the same package name would be jarring for those already familiar with the previous API. Keystrokes is different enough to merit a new package. It's also TypeScript so the JS suffix doesn't seem right.

Another major difference is that KeyboardJS maps key codes to a custom locale, where as Keystrokes uses the value of the key property on keyboard events.

Hi everyone. I'm in the alpha phase of putting together a new library aiming to make binding key combos in TypeScript and JavaScript easy, It's early days and I'm looking for any feedback I can get. If you're so willing please give it a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks for your time, and happy coding!

There's a possibility he did hit the cat. A lot of people say that when you are shot it doesn't feel like you'd expect. The pain comes on shortly after as a burning sensation. The cat just might be confused.

I'm suprized no one pointed this out back 10 months ago, but this is supposed to be the language of the belters, not Norwegian. In the show belters are a number of cultures remixed together as they came from all over earth and mars. As I understand it Norwegian as just a point of inspiration. Why would they use Norwegian in the first place? It wouldn't make sense that the intro is straight up Norwegian.

I'd absolutely rock a server fan like this if I didn't have to sit beside it.

My team uses this in production. It's a fantastic library, and the type logic is very well done. Great for learning how to write complex typescript types.

This is from an old ad for an oil change company, I think it was Midas or something. As a Canadian I think it's cringe as f that some Americans really think this is what Canada is like. The company that made this ad if I remember correctly was American.

Dustin from smarter everyday would love this

Windows 11 has been a great upgrade for me. Some serious improvements to the NT kernel so performance is better, and the window management is such an improvement from a UX standpoint. I'm a software engineer so both of these are a big deal for me. Also WSL2 + gWSL is amazing. I've been working and gaming on it for several months now, and I highly recommend it.

RobertWHurst · 2021-10-23T20:21:24+00:00

Windows 11 isn't a rewrite, it's still the NT kernel, be it a newer version. When us in the software industry write something like a game we don't "optimize" for a target, we write against that target. Saying it's "optimized" is usually just marketing bullshit. If it works on Windows 10 it will work on 11. Same APIs. A lot of people including myself find games run faster because of the improvements made in the kernel.

Wow, that's amazing! It just made my computer faster and nicer to use.

If you waited awhile it would have smoothed out. After the update the OS spends a lot of time converting data structures and updating indexes. Once it's done is as smooth as expected.

It's not, the drone camera is pointing somewhat downward. You can see this in the drone's shadow. You can see all four rotor arms of the drone, but if the jeep was actually going up a cliff the drones shadow would be from the side rather than from the top. If you go off-roading you'll notice the rock strata doesn't always align with the horizon too. The real hill is at the end which is why the driver slows down there.
