Replacing CRDT with 40 lines of code. Amazing.

Did some marketing person really write "cutting edge" into the headline?

Really? That does not sound like an opinion derived from real data.

New comment by presspot in "School is Not Enough: Learning is a consequence of doing (2021)"

presspot — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 14:51:45 +0000

It's not that school causes success. It's that school is a decent way to learn. It's not the best, by any means, but it beats not learning at all.

If you drop out of school, do it because you've found a better way to learn.

If you stop learning, whether in our out of school, that is the path to failure.

From my experience, the absolute magicians in fixed point math were the 8-bit and 16-bit video game designers. I was in awe of the optimizations they did. They made it possible to calculate 3D matrix maths in real time, for example, in order to make the first flight simulators and first person shooter games.

I have hard this from many developers. Are there any good solutions or best practices I should look into?

New comment by presspot in "Ask HN: Why is there no such thing as "open source marketing""

presspot — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 19:54:34 +0000

I see your point, but I have to believe there is a commercial path that can be mindfully pursued. You can build hosted tools, or add commercial value with an "app" model where there is a clear division between the platform, which is free, and the apps, which can be paid or not.

Really? I'm not so sure.

For example, an open source "community edition" could be treated as a freemium product and an OSS marketing could adapt a PLG playbook to help identify and nurture those who are good candidates for the "enterprise edition". Also, you have a community. They're in Slack or Discord, making pull requests, filing Github issues. You should be able to adapt the CLG playbook to help identify and nurture future customers from within the community.

Pretty cool tool, and I like that it's OSS.
