I'm fairly new to using multiplexers and not a hardcore user as I'm mostly getting my feet wet with herdr at the moment. For the hardcore users, is performance really a bottleneck? How big are your sessions that you have rendering issues?

Regardless, whenever Mitchell talks, I'm interested so I'm signed up for the release notification and will definitely check it out!

I'm assuming that we can drive our environment to that kind of state, maybe there's an upper limit on how bad the environment can get. I'm not a climate scientist and don't have the curiosity to look into if there's a limit to climate change.

Imagine bushwhacking your way through a bunch of conflicts while rebasing on main... Now you realized that you needed to do some other work before your pr is ready for review... Now you need to rebase on main again and get to relive conflict hell again.

Maybe I'm one of the stupid incompetent people referred to in this post but I haven't figured out a way to deal with the having to solve the same merge conflicts when I rebase again :(

That snowballed into, I want the garage door buttons on my car's rear view mirror to trigger automations in home assistant.

I went down a bit of a hardware rabbit hole and wrote a little writeup of my journey and a how-to.

It's my first piece of public technical writing so I'm open to any feedback!

I'll give the article another read... Maybe I missed something. Thank you for the response! Really nice to be able to get info straight from people who work on the product

Based on my understanding, olap queries will go to the parquet files which are stored in a columnar fashion and oltp style queries will go to a caching layer that sits on top of those parquet files?

What's the special sauce here? Seems like they're just caching the data which, for all intents and purposes, seems like the same solution of storing another copy of the data which is what they say they're avoiding.

ublock origin for blocking them on desktop. If you're on an iphone... uninstall youtube?

my quality of life has increased substantially... although sometimes the app bugs out and shorts still make it on my home page. I spend like 10 minutes scrolling through shorts and get a weird shock "how the fuck did I end up here?", restart the app and boom shorts gone again.

I'm also interested in experiences/questions that interviewees had that were enjoyable.

My initial thoughts are that I'm avoiding leetcode type questions and I'm going to try to craft a question based on a hard technical problem I experienced recently.

For example, loading up a bunch of data into memory and optimizing a slow function, then as a second part I would create some space constraints which would require some changes to the way the data is fetched.

The lossy timeline solution basically means you skip updating the feed for some people who are above the number of reasonable followers. I get that

Seeing them get 96% improvements is insane, does that mean they have a ton of users following an unreasonable number of people or do they just have a very low number for reasonable followers. I doubt it's the latter since that would mean a lot of people would be missing updates.

How is it possible to get such massive improvements when you're only skipping a presumably small % of people per new post?

EDIT: nvm, I rethought about it, the issue is that a single user with millions of follows will constantly be written to which will slow down the fanout service when a celebrity makes a post since you're going through many db pages.
