Isn't this the natural continuation of:

server = server → server = vm → server = function → server = block

Re:Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source on Wednesday January 24, 2024 @12:30PM (#39120018)
Zed developers, if you read this, please get inspired by Cursors "Fix it" button that you can click on any error. It simply starts a new chat with the code context and error message, suggesting possible fixes.

I'm currently learning Rust and this is such a powerup that I honestly wouldn't know how to learn anything without.

Re:Keeping Figma Fast: perf-testing the WASM editor on Wednesday August 30, 2023 @04:44PM (#37328827)
At Framer (framer.com) we actually had a bit lower variance (I think it was closer to 15%) after spending three months of solid engineering, ending up with a dedicated Mac Mini running Chrome.

Apart from the admin overhead (things got stuck on OS updates) we ended up abandoning the setup because the variance was too big to get anything useful out of running tests for every pr.

The most reliable way for us to monitor performance today is to count slow frames (>16ms) across all actual users and divide them by total time spent in app. It’s a rough proxy, but pretty accurate at showing us when we mess up.

Re:Nova by Panic on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @02:48AM (#30069287)
Although the page does rely a bit on things that mostly Mac fans will appreciate, I didn’t have the same impression. It’s fun to see how true Panic stays to their craft and it’s great to have the best native benchmark out there to compare to cross platform (web) approaches.
When I was at fb they had an internal email address called oops where you could forward issues like these. So maybe you can ask a friendly employee if that's still the case, and if they can help.
Re:Ask HN: Earning 100k EUR in Berlin? on Sunday December 20, 2020 @12:21PM (#25487832)
It's good to have a place like that. It's hard that it can take much more then you wish for, from not feeling productive all the way to taking all of the fun out of building. Watch out for that if you can. Also, Berlin is a pretty awesome place pushing some very cool things, both in and outside of venture tech.

We have blended code and a canvas for rapid prototyping with React. You can code your own components, use our excellent library to add animations and gestures (based on Popmotion) and visually compose them on the canvas.

Thanks! You're welcome!

Maker of Framer (http://framer.com) here. Cool to see this popping up on HN. We are a code based interactive design tool, and see many designers use/learn code to experiment with math, real data and physics.

Code is the best tool designers are not using. Help us solve it with new creative tools. We're looking for a subset of skills in swift/obj-c/c/javascript/gl. Bonus points if you like working on editors, compilers/ast, animation frameworks, graphics.

We're building the future of design tools. We think code is the best tool that designers are not using yet, and we'd like to change that. We deal with some really interesting areas like languages/ast/editors/graphics.

Creating the future of interaction design tools.

You should have a subset of skills in JavaScript, Objective-C, C, WebGL, OpenGL, Python, Ruby. Experience with WebKit internals, Graphics Programming, Skia, Physics Engines and Code Parsing are a plus. A strong Computer Science background is also a plus, but we also hire great self-taught people with work to show for it.
