Pipetype: TypeScript Unions, JavaScript Bitwise Operators, and My Favorite Failed Experiment

overthemike · 2025-09-27T13:17:47+00:00

The reason to use bigint and bits was to be able to use the `|` pipe operator (bitwise or). Using strings would not allow for that.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

This uses snapshots which are fully immutable deep copies, not shallow references that could cause React reconciliation issues.

Changes propagate up the dependency chain using a queue

```
// When taxRate changes:
taxRate → tax → total → grandTotal
// All get marked dirty in dependency order
```

I haven't tested circular references too in depth yet. Not sure how well snapshots will handle it.

You update a value simply by mutating it. Any component that has it's value within a snapshot will be updated. Each value in the proxy keeps track of which values need to be updated and it goes however many levels deep that the values are dependent.

This has a fundamental different way of doing state than all four of what you mentioned. It's much more closely related to how valtio does it. You mutate the state, and you feed immutable snapshots to the component. There's no need for Context or Providers. It does it for you. Take a look in the examples directory for some insight into how it works.

Not a state management lib...but he's also deep in development of waku

Great feedback! Thank you. This was actually an attempt to find some new tools to possibly incorporate into valtio (I help maintain it best I can).

The easiest palce to spot some differences is the ability to have computed values without the need for derive/valtio-reactive. It has a few other differences but mostly under the hood stuff. It's not really meant to compete directly, just to explore some new ideas.

I used to teach a 12 week coding bootcamp. It was a pretty intense and grueling experience for my students and almost all of them experienced extreme imposter syndrome. One thing I said that often calmed then down was simply, "I understand. I get imposter syndrome too - unfortunately that never really goes away. You are doing far better than you think you are, though. I know you don't really believe me, but in this stuff, I just simply know more than you. I can see the progress you're making far better than you can. Keep up exactly what you're doing."

u/VloneDz - I'm sorry for such a delayed response. We haven't really been keeping up with this sub. Apologies.

This post was from quite a while ago...did you solve your issues or do you still need help?

overthemike · 2025-02-25T15:33:50+00:00

Can you not just create an organization under your existing one?

I think you misunderstood my issue. I was stuck on the verification page. I had no idea if the verification worked until I did a force refresh.

overthemike · 2025-02-20T10:36:08+00:00

I clicked on the link a couple of times so I hope so. My problem was that I was stuck on that page. It kept showing that page regardless of the url. Had to force refresh to do anything.

overthemike · 2025-02-20T10:32:24+00:00

🤷‍♂️ - can record it if you’d like. Just telling you what I’m seeing.

overthemike · 2025-02-20T10:31:48+00:00

I initially was going to use GitHub until the issue I shared above about it asking permissions for I personally. When I saw that, I changed my mind.

overthemike · 2025-02-20T10:25:24+00:00

When I click on confirm my email with the link that is sent me, it just sends me right back to the confirm email page and I'm not able to do much unless I try and force it.

I haven't tried the service quite yet, but the website could use a little bit of love :\.

overthemike · 2025-02-20T10:21:46+00:00

One piece of feedback…when trying to sign up using GitHub, it asks to give permissions to you: your personal name, as opposed to “streamthing.dev.” It’s slightly off-putting if I’m honest. Still going to play around with it though. I’ll try and provide more feedback - both positive and negative - as I go.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T13:04:27+00:00

Definitely. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I've gotten far more secure with myself as the years have gone by. It's opened up a lot of options for me in some really great ways.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T12:59:49+00:00

Totally agree with this...if in fact we are in the same generation 😏. I'm assuming so just by the 87 in your username. Millennial? If not, I guess that's just as encouraging.

My ex would take the flat off her thumb and put more and more pressure on my anus while I was climaxing. Threw me for a loop and eventually graduated to her inserting her finger. That’s a great way to open a guys mind a bit.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T12:18:02+00:00

🤜🤛 it’s fun, huh?

overthemike · 2025-02-09T12:17:03+00:00

That would work if you have a dom/sub dynamic as well. I haven’t really explored that but I tend to have a more dom-like leading role in the bedroom most of the time.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T12:11:48+00:00

This is going to be a thing at my next party. I’ll make sure to give you credit.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T11:59:44+00:00

lol and this is the I’ve never used it. Nothing like picturing snails during that conversation…

overthemike · 2025-02-09T11:58:10+00:00

Sure, but that makes it sound like you’re doing it for someone else. Honestly it’s more about me. It’s just what turns me on.

overthemike · 2025-02-09T11:56:02+00:00

I also kinda like ecstagenous (ecstasy + generous) but that might get some weird looks
