The article addresses both of these pretty clearly. Semantic versioning gets borked with reverts and the automatic changelog is targeting the wrong audience
I think you're missing the part where interacting with strangers is also working the general socialization muscle. If you find yourself being more social in general, and give yourself the time to recharge, then you'll be better equipped to engage with those closest to you. You may even get lucky and add someone else to that circle
That's exactly the sorts of issues I was having. That and it somehow kept losing my encryption information so I'd lose access to all of my messages or something similarly ridiculous
Very cool article. To really drill it home, I would have loved to see how the query plan changes. It _looks_ like it should Just Work(tm) but my brain refuses to believe that it's able to use those new indexes so flawlessly
I've tried off and on to actually use Matrix. I was a bit of a loud supporter in the early days. Unfortunately, it looks like it still hasn't grown past the fundamental issues I was having then. It might be time to try something else
This is exactly the kind of negativity that only appears on the internet and that this study sort of shined a light on. Would you really tell this person to their face that their art sucks just because it isn't good for you?
Part of the goals of making it so tiny, as far as I understand it, is that a normal person could reasonably implement the entire thing from server to client. Going full HTTPS and HTML is a bit of a lift for a single person in a short period of time
I actually kind of like the subset of Jira that I use. Put tickets in a project, create related tickets when I'm breaking down larger projects, expose the project as a Kanban board so we can see at a glance if the right things are being worked on.
That's it. I've essentially built this for myself a few times over so I doubt this is what people are actually paying for so I must be missing all of the features that people hate
I would say an actively harmful TypeScript. Just a couple of days ago, I had bug in production because apparently the union of two types is not the intersection but the sum. It exploded because one type had a method that the other didn't. That's an absolutely horrible footgun
There's no reason this couldn't have been built in Unity or Unreal. You can build literally anything (within the limits of computation) in those engines.
Agreed. I went through the effort of setting it up back when Synapse was the only option. It was cool and my technical friends had some fun tinkering with it but after a couple of weeks we found we weren't using it as our primary communication system and stepped away from it. I know that the new server system is better and Element has improved a lot but, speaking from experience, a weekend is not enough time to say that it was worth the effort.
The problem with just textbooks is you don't get to hear or speak the language at all. There's also very little structure so you're expecting a novice to know how to effectively test themselves.
