@dillon_mulroy @raphiwifsol @elithrar @mattzcarey @thomas_ankcorn did you try NFS with a loopback server instead of FUSE for this? in my testing it was quite a bit faster on linux, especially for hot reads, plus it also works on MacOS without making users install the Scary Kernel Extension, if you care about such things

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

@dillon_mulroy @elithrar @mattzcarey @thomas_ankcorn Extremely cool and extremely relevant to my interests. I'm also working on a versioned filesystem that speaks git, in way that would be synergistic with artifacts. Coming at it from a totally different but complementary angle.

JS i love you.

JecmaScript ❤️

@AGoldmund Also I'm disorganized as shit and am pretty great at coding

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

@AGoldmund coding is different than math because you're solving real problems and getting feedback frequently, so it doesn't require the kind of mindset that is happy doing abstract number puzzles all day. But it doesn't hurt.

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

Gotta hand it to @steveruizok that stuff like this arrow behaviour just worked with no effort while I was building the cloud shape. We have some cool tech in this little app.

[tldraw @tldraw]

We need to talk about clouds!

@mattpocockuk Also worth noting that we use lazyrepo, not turborepo. I remember people having issues with turbo and . tsbuildinfo files related to turbo's linking behaviour.

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

@mattpocockuk We do this at tldraw. It works fine for the most part. We see some apparently unnecessary cache busting where .tsbuildinfo files seem to change unexpectedly but it hasn't been bad enough to investigate.

Cold water is kiki, warm water is bouba.

But also,

Ice is bouba and steam is kiki.

Isn't life grand.

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

@mattpocockuk I heard Flow is great.

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

Do I know anyone who has built a product using vanilla-extract? Would you recommend it?

[david sheldrick @djsheldrick]

We finally let me out of the infra mines here at @tldraw to work on a user-facing feature, and it's one I've been dying to build since I joined...

@mountain_ghosts e.g. checking that a PR has an assignee, or that the submitter has signed a CLA.

To be fair it's way faster to do that kind of thing with a lambda or a dedicated server + webhook, but not everybody wants to pay for and maintain extra infra.

@WhackNicholson Any favorite movies/tv shows/books about teaching?
