The idea is that there’s practices that are good for society that fall outside of market value, and these practices should be protected or they die. Some things cannot survive in the market.
Insane brutality has happened on both sides. However the statistical numbers are different, before oct 7 and after, one side has been much more successful in its brutalization of the other.
You should look into the accounts of doctors who are not allowed to take in baby food. Israeli mobs destroying aid trucks. Israeli soldiers gloating about killing children.
While Hamas has done atrocities, this does not allow atrocities to be committed in response. Especially by an occupying power that controls every variable in the environment.
My experience as a musician and huge linux nerd is: sure, it was all free, and very powerful, on linux, but I never actually made music because of the setup times, learning, hacking, and refining the systems.
Since getting a mac and paying for tools like this, the immediacy of being productive has caused me to actually make music.
it's the same with OBS - wow, what a piece of software. I spent a week going through and configuring it. They really thought of everything. Audio Hijack solved my problem in 30 seconds and made sense for my use case while doing it.
Among other things, but even with a “latest change wins” method you still have to make sure all transactions arrive, data doesn’t stay out of synch forever, and other challenges.
ElectricSql, instantdb, rxdb, jazz.tools, are some of the things I’ve been looking into to make these tasks easier.
There’s a whole world of syncing databases when they’re offline and then reconnect. Local first. If your websocket connection is offline you have to store the incremental changes to your data and send them later on reconnect. This gets complex fast.
A lot of these tools (and what the author wrote) offer toolkits to do this well, not having to implement and track all these changes in state manually.
In this case the author is running SQLite in the browser, and that syncs to SQLite on the server.
I love the Dokploy promise but I’ve come across some glaring bugs and inconsistencies that have made living with it difficult. I’ve had to consult its source code because if it’s lack of documentation in a few instances.
Support, even for paying customers, is lacking, too.
Definitely cheering its development on, though, because the promise is wonderful.
Possibly there isn’t a critique of his behavior because there isn’t a critique to be made: from a website like hacker news where every reasonable position is usually represented, it should tell you something that this is unanimous.
Hello! Author here: what I was trying to say with this line is “we didn’t charge them for building tools they didn’t need or changing the way they work” — but I very much appreciate the feedback!
I use all of them pretty consistently! I try not to have them do magic, but using native date pickers and dropdowns and selects saves so much time and headache - and they work consistently.
I agree it’s more about networking. Practice is important but plateaus are only passed if you get advice in the right way or exposed to the right thing. Being loose is important too.
In my musical world, when someone comes along who studied at Berkelee you almost know they will be bad and not get the vibe: playing over people, rigid timing, no feeling.
Frankly the article is terrible advice for everyone.
I certainly don’t agree with this as a musician who has tried most of these attempts by electronic music manufacturers.
