Sorry, can't help myself!
The Ralphie running demo on the site is hilarious.
Some say, you could just use Ralphie's actual runs from this past year, true randomness!

The short answer is: Yes
Long answer is: looking at the skeleton code in the repo, it's setup for development to run 2 servers (a server just serving static files for the svelt app PORT=3000, and a server running the API PORT=3001) https://github.com/beeeeep54/rust-typescript/blob/main/backe...
But I have seen people do that but:
- Package it into 1 docker container (or 1 service for lack of a better term) that runs both with a proxy that's only there in "prod" deployment not local development. so inside the container it's 2 processes, but outside it's like 1 selfcontained application
- enable a static server on the API endpoint once deployed. It's usually 1 line in most web framework. Something like `app.serveStatic("/", "./static")`. In this case it's 1 server doing both
- Deploy them as 2 different services that scale and are managed completely independently. Could as well be 2 different teams or even companies doing frontend vs backend development (with that same setup of style. Though probably you won't be working in the same repo then)
then take all that and multiply it by 2 or 4 for all the proxy/path/domain permutations
We do something similar, in Dev you have a "dev" server and an API.
In Prod, we use a CDN to server the static files using AWS ALB and Cloudfront.

Tree style is better, it gives you a visual hierarchy of where each tab has come from. Makes Wikipedia rabbit holes more interesting.
Yes, I wish the native vertical tabs gave that same hierarchy. I will keep using Tree Style Tabs until it does.
How does MongoDB still have that much available to spend? Everyone I know moved off it years ago.
We use it a lot for a specific use-case and it works great. Mongo has come a long long way since the release over a decade ago, and if you keep it in Majority Read and Write, it's very reliable.
Also, on some things, it allows us to pivot much faster. And now with the help of LLMs, writing "Aggregation Pipelines" are very fast.

We were piloting the new Snapdragon X Elite Surface Laptops to roll them out to our org about 3 months ago. Loved everything about it, but when it came to software... things became messy. The MSFT Office suite was great, as well as any browser of course. Then we had to make sure some older Excel plugins worked for financial users, they didn't. Had to use some workarounds. We tried our front end app Node build pipeline.. we gave up and had to put it in a container to get it to build properly. Tried a few things through the cpu emulator, it was no where near Apple's at their launch of M1. Ultimately, we had to go back to the Intel Surface Laptops. It felt like the ARM laptops were rushed about a year too early...
Oh wow, congrats! I remember when you first launched this and followed you along on X (Twitter).
Cshelton commented on 64-bit bank balances ‘ought to be enough for anybody’? tigerbeetle.com/blog/2023... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti
I have a personal anecdote on this subject. A long time ago I worked at a bank and I had to calculate a large number of accounts regarding agricultural loans. These were state sponsored loans. When I finished my task (this was a Java job), I found that sometimes the results were off by $0.01. So I asked my boss how I should do the rounding, to which he replied that an error of up to $1 was acceptable. If I recall correctly, the amounts where in the hundreds and thousands.
Exactly. I think many people start overthinking things in banking.
Most accounting/finance departments are ok with rounding pennies every month.
I run a Commercial Real Estate Servicing platform, where we are accruing interest on large balances daily. Our method is to not do the rounding daily, but add up all the numbers for a given period, say a month, and then round to the penny and create a single adjustment rounding transaction along with it. Accounting departments love us for it.
If we rounded daily before storing the amount, the adjustment for accounting is usually a few pennies at least every month they have to make. Our method, it's roughly $0.01 per year with monthly periods, adjusted usually at the very end. Which on a $20MM loan, is very well within the bounds of acceptable.

So I love the IPad Pro form factor.
In all seriousness, now that the Ipad runs the same chips (I believe) as the MacBooks, what is preventing the option to just run MacOS on the Ipad?
Is there a technical limitation still or is it just Apple segregating the OS to different product lines?

Amazing! Our team at Airbnb built something similar for internal users: https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/journey-platform-a-low...
Very cool how we both use Temporal for workflow orchestration. Love the git idea, Wish you the best!
Just checked out Temporal...
I don't know how I didn't know about it before..
I literally implemented a whole system to do what it does.
Thanks for bringing that up!
Cshelton commented on Launch HN: Propify (YC W23) – Property Management System API Aggregator · Posted by u/kole78
Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately your story is a common one - not much has changed with these APIs since 2012... or since 1999 for that matter.
Our current integrations include Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, Propertyware, Buildium, Rent Manager and Rentvine. On the roadmap are Appfolio, MRI and ResMan.
Necessary disclaimer: we only support integrations for customers who have officially sanctioned relationships with each PMS. We do not do anything that violates ToS (e.g. scraping, chrome extensions, etc.).
Ah, I went to your "How it Works".. didn't see Yardi, RealPage, or MRI and almost dismissed this product entirely!
Recommend updating that screenshot!
Now I'm interested.. will submit work email. I'm head of product at RealINSIGHT
