Do you guys remember the smalltalk toolkit posted here a while ago which their creators made specifically for help understanding new codebases?


Woah, that Glamorous Toolkit environment looks amazing. Thanks for the pointer.

yeah but it doesn't :)


My dumb ass read it as "all it takes is that you workout", just with the more fancy pronoun 'one'


yep lol one of the rants was how strong typing sucks and slows everything down another one about Haskell


same on Firefox macos


It's possible it worked in the past and doesn't work any more.


Me and you are but that guy over there isn't


This means even more influence to Chinese phone makers which don't bother themselves with compliance to Google's platform ideas


while i'm currently using sqlite, since it has only one write transaction at a time, if I understand correctly, opening a tx and doing outside requests while in the transaction could potentially block your whole application if the outside requests keep timing out... so you kinda need to watch out for that


Treat transactions like mutexes has always been the prevailing wisdom has not not? Keep them as short as possible and do not make blocking calls within one.

This would be true for any database, something read / written during a transaction would block at least that table universally until the transaction is finalised.

other people use the stupidest possible javascript to launch product and really focus on product and marketing

yet other people stay as far away from computers as possible and focus on more human activities

you just do what you're drawn to naturally
