For this you avoid AWS, Azure and GCP. Their pricing is simply not competitive. We operate root servers at Hetzner serving dynamic content to six-figure audiences.
PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch clusters can be operated at a fraction of the cost of comparable managed services offered by the major cloud providers.
The idea that this necessarily involves excessive maintenance effort is nonsense.
The skills needed to use hyperscalers properly are better invested in fundamental sysadmin know-how.
I really enjoyed The Technological Republic by Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska. It’s sharp, opinionated, and unusually concrete about how state capacity, technology, and institutional competence intersect in practice. Even if you don’t agree with all of it, it’s a book that forces clearer thinking about power, technology, and governance.
Unfortunately it seems like you have to write a custom Axum middleware to retrieve the current user and then do the redirect manually. Not many lines of code but still…
And then again manually fetch the next query parameter after login.
This is such a common pattern, I’m astonished that it’s not provided out of the box.
Prisma is a nice DB client library but does't do any of the things I'm interested in - reactive queries on the client, recursive graph traversal, raising level of abstraction for the organization. Schematizing the DB & a type-safe DB client is nice, but I'm more interested in stuff one or two levels of abstraction up. Like, after the data comes into memory Prisma is done and out of the picture. But getting the data into memory is the easy part IMO. Traversing it, adding permissions and business logic, managing & composing mutations, dealing with caching and reactivity.. that's the good stuff, and I'm not sure what if any Prisma offers there.
Nuuk is a digital agency specialized in developing solutions for new and emerging technologies. For our customers we have created solutions e.g. for voice assistants since the start of Alexa and Google Assistant, IoT devices (from the PCB for the hardware, the AWS IoT based cloud to Flutter Apps for iOS and Android) and Smart TVs.
Our frontends are created using web technology (Typescript, React), Flutter and native tooling (Kotlin, Swift).
The job ads on our website are not yet up-to-date, but we are looking for folks who know Typescript or Flutter.
Please ping me an email at nk@nuuk.de if you want to chat about the opportunity. Please note that we do not offer relocation assistance and strongly prefer candidates who have done all of the paperwork to work in the EU. I am the CEO not a recruiter.
Unfortunately OCR is in my experience not as smooth as within Evernote or Google Keep. When I take a picture using the OneNote app on Android, OCR never works. You have to use the separate Office Lens App to upload an image and move it to the correct place in your note later. Also: I've got quite a few old PDF docs containing scans of contracts as images. Google or Evernote enablefull text search everywhere, OneNote cannot search for text in these PDFs files
.
If you do not get a value of $15/month from using Roam then it simply is not the right tool for you. Roam makes it easy for me to explore connections between ideas. It has a user interface that fits my way of thinking. I'm also a Office 365 subscriber but OneNote cannot replace Roam for me.
Honestly, it's not that hard to implement something like Roam compared to the aforementioned competitors. The value is in the idea, and even that isn't novel. It really is a mystery to me why an open source alternative doesn't exist / isn't more popular.
Come on, that's the opposite of my “vibe”. The commenter you refer to didn't believe there was any value in the existence of such a product, while I see so much value in this that it's puzzling to me how we still don't have an open source alternative. I didn't say it's trivial, but I bet it's simpler than that for the likes of Notion (and we do have alternatives to those).
The main reason for Emacs existence is the ability to customize it as you want. That's made possible by Lisp. It is on a whole different level than a VSCode plugin. How does Rust enhance this experience?
I do not get the requirement to be "very fast to boot". My Emacs instance is always running and I use emacsclient as an entrance point for external tools. This is the typical workflow for Emacs users.
Unfortunately search in images never works for me in OneNote. I have quite a few PDF documents with scanned contracts as images and none of them are found by OneNote or OneDrive search.The content in the images of the PDF files are immediately available in search results on my Google Drive.
