Nice.

I’ve noticed that many light themes use relatively bright colours for text, and I’m finding them increasingly difficult to read.

The orange used in the explorer view is just bright enough to become slightly blurry to me, causing me to squint.

I may not have that issue if you use the same orange found in the syntax highlighting, which seems slightly darker to me.

The largest table was 100 million rows. They could have had hundreds more tables.

I'm still surprised What3Words isn't more popular outside of the UK.

What sort of quirks have you run into?

I find myself having to STRAIGHT_JOIN more often than I would like because it simply won’t generate sensible execution plans sometimes.

What drives this sentiment?

Wonder why. We’ve got thousands of conditionally rendered components on a pretty interactive scheduling screen. One click can affect all of them but everything feels instantaneous.

Our bottleneck was that we have so much data, making it all observable up front led to slow initial load times and high memory usage. We now make things observable on demand which has eliminated a lot of that.

This is the one thing I wish I checked more thoroughly before I moved 5 domains from Gmail to Fastmail.

Yeah, interesting. In The Netherlands it is commonly used to mean "more or less", or "approximately", unless it is used in formulas.

How would you interpret “+/- 10 years”?

I found out about a WSL feature specific to Windows 11 today, after exporting an image from my Windows 11 laptop to my Windows 10 desktop.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#boot...

There's a few more on that page. I would not be surprised if more appeared over time.

I don't find these kinds of what-ifs very useful. I haven't used Rails, but does it somehow prevent you from accepting user input and programming it to go where you say you want it to go? Isn't there an element of "holding it wrong" with any language or framework?
