Also, be gentle. It's a rather quick side-project to solve a particular need I had. I combined that "opportunity" to familiarize myself with the Bun toolchain. Bun is absolutely great, but it's not better than Node. It's more complicated and interesting than that.

for JS nerds interested in the dichotomy of Node vs. Bun, I touch on this in the blog post. To summarize; we *build* things with TypeScript, but *run* things in plain JavaScript.

Shallow clone vs. deep clone, in Node, with benchmark - Peterbe.com

`Object.assign({}, original)` is much faster than `structuredClone(original)` but they're both fast

I dip my toes into running TypeScript files directly. peterbe.com/plog/ts-node-vs-… tl;dr bun is super fast, esno and esrun are about the same performance as ts-node.

ts-node vs. esrun vs. esno vs. bun - Peterbe.com

ts-node is fine compared to esno and esrun, but bun blows them away

They recently switched from credits to subscriptions. But I only send about 30 emails per month. And I was glad to find out there's a free tier at 100 emails per month. So now I'm a happy/cheap subscriber.

Hey @codesandbox The ability to add dependencies is gone in the new design :( There's no "Add Dependency" button and when you get an error it doesn't suggest to add the missing dependency from the Vite error message.

I've had brief periods where I've daily driven linux (ubuntu/arch) but always given it up I like the idea of being a gigachad linux user, but I'm too lazy I don't care enough about customizing things, I just want a prison cell that works - signed a mbp user 😅

Do please watch Clarkson’s Farm 2 this weekend on Amazon. People seem to be loving it. And the soundtrack is amazing.

First impressions of Meilisearch and how it compares to Elasticsearch peterbe.com/plog/first-impre… #meilisearch #elasticsearch

First impressions of Meilisearch and how it compares to Elasticsearch - Peterbe.com

tl;dr Meilisearch is like Elasticsearch but simpler. Decent parity in functionality and performance, but definitely intriguing if you don't already know Elasticsearch or want to run with fewer...
