Side note but the contrast between background and text here makes this really hard to read

For me it's the blinking cursor at the top... It's hard to focus on the text.

I launched my web-based notepad calculator, https://numpad.io/, a few years ago.

Right now I'm working on a version 2 that has user accounts, multiple documents, markdown support, and document exports. Everything is local-first and it uses CRDTs to sync documents.

It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Plk1DQ4.png the calculator is mostly the same for now, with a few improvements. It's unstable right now, so I don't want to publicise the dev url, but if you'd like to become a beta tester email me at contact@numpad.io

I've been singin' this song for years. We should return to Small Data. Hand picked, locally sourced, data. Data I can buy at a mom and pop shop. Data I can smell, data I can feel, data I can yearn for.

Gone are those days.

> Of those who never drank, 40% had vascular brain lesions. Of the moderate drinkers, 45% had vascular brain lesions. Of the heavy drinkers, 44% had vascular brain lesions. Of the former heavy drinkers, 50% had vascular brain lesions.

I mean when you put it that way it doesn't seem so bad.

Nice idea, but watching the spinning coins made me a bit nauseous. I had to go away from the page.

thunkle commented on Lua is so underrated   nflatrea.bearblog.dev/lua... · Posted by u/nflatrea

It's hard to use lua for any sizeable chunk of code due to weak typing, absence of type hints and error handling. No it's not underrated in any way.

It's funny how through the years I've started to appreciate statically typed languages and type hints (Python, TypeScript) as well. Up to my current stance: it's a disservice for a community to write hintless python or js code.

P.S. Recently I've rewritten 1.5k cloc of JS into TypeScript. As usual there were dozens of cases of missed nulls, null attribute accesses or semantically questionable nulls.

I just started using lua and have types in vscode using lua annotations. https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotation...
