Very cool demo, but If the application code is HTML/JS/CSS, then why do we need RSX?

Is the web framework necessary? How does this compare, to say Tauri w. React & Vite?

In the same way React Native still uses JSX, Dioxus uses RSX even if those widgets are rendered natively (say, on the GPU).

I get that the target group probably is fine with running everything off of an SD card. But, I still think it's a mistake to not offer an M.2 slot without soldering.

The smaller drives are very affordable and the performance difference is huge.

The performance difference is practically unnoticeable in day-to-day desktop use. People don't really care about 15 second vs. 20 second boot time, and that first boot of Firefox is going to be another pretty meh comparison. Subsequent boots are going to be loading small enough data that the difference between will be meaningless.

The main appeal to an NVMe on the Pi isn't speed, it's cost effectiveness. SSDs are cheaper at larger capacities than SD cards. A 1tb SD card is 2x the cost of a cheaper 1tb SSD.

Storage speed is a bigger consideration on something like a gaming PC or a video editing machine, where you're going to be streaming gigabytes of textures/videos off of storage, not just trying to launch Firefox.

I wonder if they have permission to use the SQLite trademark https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=77104711&caseSearchType=U...

Dr. Hipp is one of our investors, and we have the right to use the SQLite name.

My first thought as well. I don't see it addressed. A new brand at launch would be cheaper than forgiveness might be.

Domain since 2020-09-10, blogposts since Mar 2023.

Their landing page says “Backed by the creator of SQLite.”. I know nothing about them but their tagline suggests they do have permission.

I'd appreciate a top-level country filter. It helps reduce noise, and can still allow you to put VPN affiliate links when there are no matches.

Implementing soon ;)

Neat! Any plans to support OpenAPI schema? It's cool that it's easy to create the API, but consuming and documenting it is also a factor.

Thanks! I considered it, but since parameters are defined just because users call a validation function, there's no straighforward way to get them. Maybe I could use PHP8 attributes for this, but maybe it complicates the syntax too much for a microframework.

Oh, now that would be a neat feature to have in the library

I never would have guessed that so many data centers ran their DHCP off of Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft's Active Directory, DHCP server, and DNS server integrate very closely. When a domain member gets a dynamic IP address, the DHCP server will inform the DNS server to update its record for that host.

Many companies are, let's say a bit lazy - when use an Active Directory domain anyway, you might as well use the DHCP and DNS servers, too, they handle replication and failover very smoothly. (I am not a big fan of Windows, but that part has worked pretty well in my experience.)

You can get a similar mechanism to work between BIND and ISC DHCPD; it's not a lot of work, but with Zeroconf/mDNS it is less useful than it used to be.

Active Directory and DHCP go hand-in-hand. Your Domain Controllers aren't always your DHCP servers, but under a certain scale, they very likely are.

I'm a 20+ year Windows sysadmin and I don't buy it. If you'd said "Active Directory and DNS go hand-in-hand" I'd agree-- the coupling there is pretty tight (and it's a pain-in-the-ass to run Active Directory with non-Microsoft DNS servers being authoritative for the AD domain name). DHCP is a lot less tightly coupled.

If you create a brand new domain, it will automatically configure it to be the DHCP server by default.

That's true of DNS, not DHCP. One has to specifically install the DHCP role in a new AD domain.

I find this number also very surprinsing but it's not really 40% of datacenter, it's 40% of the networks monitored by Akama

Yeah, I thought that too. Akamai seems to be popular with corporations.

Not the colo themselves running it, "in" datacenters. And more accurately, in networks in datacenters.

Colocation means many clients, and in any given colo there's almost certainly someone running a Windows AD + Microsoft DHCP box, meaning it's "in" that datacenter. I'm surprised as many as 40% of networks still have that tech, but that's enterprise for you. Point being, though, it's likely in well more than 40% of datacenters.

In the 90s Microsoft tied their dominant Exchange/Outlook to Active Directory which depends on DNS/DHCP.

Active Directory was officially only released in 2000 though.

I thought Nano was the modern alternative to Pico ^_^

I'm holding out for Macro.

Yes, a Macro Editor... perhaps with some Editor MACroS.

according to SI, the opposite of micro (10^-6) is mega (10^6)

if you look at the progression pico, nano, micro, then you can see its 3 times bigger everytime, not the inverse.

So the next one should be milli.

Followed by… what?

Unity? We could also have an unpronounceable empty string, and refer to it as TEFKAM, The Editor Formerly Known As `milli`.

> We could also have an unpronounceable empty string

For what I assume are historical reasons, the empty string is usually called "lambda".

At that point for a few generations we do only 10x centi, deci, deca and hecto.

The taglines basically write themselves. 'A 10x editor for 10x engineers.'

https://10xeditor.com/ might prefer you use a different number ;)

Is macro the one after milli?

There are two scale systems at play.

pico, nano, micro, milli, unit, kilo, Mega, Giga... Which relates to the SI units.

And Micro,Meso and Macro scaling system that centers around human sized reality.

SI doesn't have a prefix for 1x does it? Doe you'd need a non-SI like macro or meso, or just to jump from milli to kilo. Or call it Editor One or just Editor.

Don't forget centi-, deci-, deka-, and hecto-.

macro is not a SI prefix.

It'd be funny to silently alias quetta=emacs in systems. I wonder what would people think when they find it.

Not true anymore. You can use their build service (EAS) to create app and dev client for custom libraries without ejecting

What if you need to do configuration in Xcode?

I believe you could do it by writing a config plugin[1] that will apply the desired config changes to the native project files. Expo will apply the config from plugins when they are building the native app for you.

(Disclaimer: I use Expo at work for cross-platform app including web but never wrote my own plugins)

Unbelievable that so many operating systems don't support encrypted DNS out of the box.

Notably absent from said list of languages: Google's Go

Hardly notable. Go is an application langage and managed runtime. Android already has that.
