I do have a good use case for magic links.

I creates a bar management/sales platform for our group of friends. It's self service so people purchase their products on their phone and pay later.

People get... intoxicated... after which passwords appear to become quite the problem. Magic links solved that.

To solve the multi device and in-app browser problem people can also open the links on another device. That'll show a short code they can enter on the original device to actually log in. It's not perfect, but it works.

I do fully agree that passwords should always be an option as well.


I always feel rendering such blurred panes takes quite a performance hit. Do we have any numbers on this?

I might just be old - when this was done on the CPU.


While I agree FOSS doesn't give you the right to users money.

It is especially painful if (big) companies make big money with your free product.


`git rebase --onto FIRST_ID^ NEW_PARENT`

is also super powerful to put a series of commits on top of a new parent when history has changed.

That happens with PRs and squash merges quite often.

Does it still do this when piping into things?


It does for me. Firefox on Android.


I don't like this kind of smoothing at all. It feels slow to me. Please just toggle without animations instead. And yes, I know these examples have been slowed down.


Qdrant does this as well, with 100% accuracy. But it's not on small categories, but rather on small segments.

You could put different categories in different shards though, resulting in the same effect.

You can also specify exact=true to do the same on any size, but this can get rather slow when your collection grows.

And auto vectorization isn't all that common. In many cases you need to structure your code in a certain way, in which case you're better off doing it yourself if you want the vectorization benefit.


With regards to competitors picking similar things up, we've this article explaining why a dedicated vector search service is a good idea: https://qdrant.tech/articles/dedicated-service/
