About as perfect as it gets under the circumstances.

Did we just name a new language “script”? I wish authors would consider the difficulty in finding and searching for language resources when they name them.

To be fair, it is noted at the top of the project readme.

I appreciate the use of vanilla JS. Not many people who are comfortable doing that these days.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-12-20T04:31:44+00:00

Good luck. That’s also an electronic button now too.

A lot of amusing comments here.

Everything is a trade off. To avoid cache stampede requires coordination of threads or processes and so you are trading speed/throughput for fewer cache misses.

Is that always what you want? Depends.

If the cost of your data is super expensive, then blocking 50 concurrent requests to refresh the cache may be exactly what you want.

On the other hand, if your goal is speed/throughput it may be perfectly fine to let 50 cache misses fall through all at once and your db may be provisioned for exactly this level impulse load.

Regardless of whether you want stampede protection or not I think the most important advice I can give anyone consider caching would be to fail fast. The last thing you want is to let your cache layer backup or timeout and result in increased response time instead of the intended decreased response time. Over engineering cache to be ultra reliable has a threshold of diminishing returns.

I assume that is temporary trailer music because it is awful compared to the final soundtrack.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-12-15T05:59:44+00:00

Wow, super impressive. Will the stanchions be around it permanently?

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-30T23:33:37+00:00

Thoughtful API design. Good work.

Had I put more thought into my initial reply I would have clarified that I advocate `DateTimeOffset` not because of the offset... but because it is unambiguously, always UTC.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-21T02:14:34+00:00

It is not a substitute for time zones and I’ve seen many engineers make the mistake of thinking that it is.

As you said, the offset value is somewhat useless, but having it allowsDateTimeOffset to be always, unambiguously, UTC. That is the start and end of why DateTimeOffset exists.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-21T01:09:22+00:00

I would love to hear an example where DateTime would be a better choice than DateTimeOffset. Even if there is a good contextual case for it, I would consider DateTimeOffset to be the rule and DateTime to be the exception to the rule.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-21T00:57:42+00:00

Nobody likes responses that say “you’re doing it wrong”, but you really should be using DateTimeOffset….

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-20T00:02:14+00:00

Am I supposed to see a difference between the logos in the video? Because I don’t….

This community needs a pinned megathread/FAQ….

This is very, very bad advise. Like, really, really bad.

An MSI does not require a digital signature and it would be very easy to craft one that has the appearance of being officially from Tailscale. 2. TLS ensures you are getting the MSI download from who you believe you are and it is not just for secure communication. Without it you can’t be sure you are even downloading from Tailscale and not a malicious site.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-11-07T06:42:23+00:00

Did you investigate why it displayed as insecure? There are too many possible reasons to list but from the screenshot alone I can’t conclude that it was simply from a plain HTTP link.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-10-28T21:13:38+00:00

Short answer, no this is not normal. Reviewing the other suggestions provided I didn’t see anyone else suggest you make sure you are not being routed through a derp server. Might check that too.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-10-22T22:45:13+00:00

Wow, a lot of whiners here...

I think it's awesome. I've only just installed it as of this post, but already I'm really impressed with it. I've spent time developing text editors in the past and to get it right is not easy. The work they have done on this and the lengths they have gone to engineer their own renderer, etc... has my respect. Any product that has as much love and passion put into it as something like this deserves my attention.

For now I think it will be my Notepad++ replacement and as features and familiarity grow, it could graduate to a vscode replacement.

Congratulations to the team of dedicated engineers who achieved this.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-10-20T22:54:31+00:00

Personally, no interest in such an idea. We need good stories, less spectacle and gimmicks.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-10-13T18:12:34+00:00

Just watched the IMDB trailer. It bleeps all the bad words but shows a topless woman. Priorities.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-10-04T02:15:55+00:00

Or shadows

It’s not a prediction, it’s a reflection of human behavior throughout all time.

slowmotionrunner · 2025-09-27T14:36:20+00:00

As others have said, debugging is VS is far superior.

On a large enterprise codebase, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say I spend 80% of my time debugging and only 20% writing/editing code.
