I'm waiting for OLED. Will purchase as soon as they do it.

To replace inside single quotes, you can do `mi'c`. There's nothing to restrict it to the current line, but you will see the selection before you hit c. That's the big benefit of the noun-verb model that Helix uses.

Helix is my daily driver. I love it! Kakoune's editing model, built in tree sitter and LSP, works great with zero config. My only gripes are I wish it had Kakoune's client-server model and collaborative editing.

What action could be taken to fix it?

Is the “data processing fee” any different from an egress fee in practice? Seems a little deceptive.

Are you sure you can't have your cake and eat it too? You can have many configuration options, but give each one a sane default.

> I optimize directly for the hardware I'm running on, which typically gives me 10-100x performance improvements. Controlling how memory is managed is critical.
What makes you think you can't control how memory is managed in Rust? Rust doesn't have "automatic" memory management, it has a compiler that can help ensure you are managing memory correctly, and force you to type "unsafe" when you are doing things it doesn't understand.

Anyone who writes C/C++/Rust, like I do, can benefit tremendously from Mold. I use it daily. Each time I hit save and need to run my program, Mold saves me about 10 seconds in linking time. That time adds up quickly, and prevents me from getting distracted.
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Fermyon Spin JavaScript and TypeScript SDK
I wonder how using a typical isomorphic React app performs on Fermyon using JS running with QuickJS vs on Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, or Netlify. Has the Fermyon team tested this?
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Ofcom letter on restrictions on internet services for “designated persons” [pdf]
No, in law the term “person” refers to both “natural persons” and “corporate persons”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person.
Remember the political fight over the phrase “corporations are people”? Well, they certainly are “persons”.

Check out the component model proposal, which adds a stable ABI for rich types like strings, arrays, structs, etc.
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Postgres WASM
Using IndexedDB, the forthcoming SQLite support in Chrome, or the browser filesystem components all might be good paths. Either way, what do you think about using WASI instead of Linux? I think it would reduce the overhead significantly.
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Postgres WASM
This is a really exciting milestone for WASM! Has anyone tried compiling postgres for wasm32-wasi and implementing a wasi-compatible interface for the file system and other OS bits postgres needs? I think that would be a big improvement.

What in particular did you find strange and unconventional?
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Ruff – a fast Python Linter written in Rust
The goal of this project is to demonstrate that python can tooling can be made faster by writing it in Rust instead of Python. C++ and Haskell could be reasonable choices, but Rust has a strong combination of speed and type safety that make it a good choice for this application.

I think this attempt at clarification is just proving xvector’s point.
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Big changes ahead for Deno
Thanks. Any plans for supporting monorepos of first party NPM packages that teams already have?
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Big changes ahead for Deno
Hi Luca, can you provide a bit of detail on how this will be accomplished? Will Deno be analyzing an entire project’s npm imports simultaneously, rather than individually?
nitsky | 3 years ago | on: Big changes ahead for Deno
Will Deno’s approach to NPM compatibility support peer dependencies? https://nodejs.org/en/blog/npm/peer-dependencies/
Furthermore, will it support unifying transitive dependency versions to minimize bundle sizes?
