The way they’ve handled splits in text using a “text slice” and block mapping is truly novel (although the way they’ve introduced search labels feels a little hacky).

> in a ProseMirror editor using Yjs, splits are modeled as a deletion in the first block and an insertion in the second. A concurrent edit may therefore remain in the original node, whereas our approach preserves its intended position across the split.

I wonder if something inspired by this design could make its way into the new Yjs version and y-prosemirror rewrite.

It’s always been a big limitation of y-prosemirror that splits are handled as a deletion and insertion.

GTA used to be colorful, fun, funny, and cinematic.

GTA VI seems to be missing that entirely. The whole world seems far too bleak and close to life (in a bad way).

This isn’t the GTA I used to know and love.

Sad to say this will be the first GTA game I’ll miss out on (I’ve played all of them, even GTA London 1969, GTA Advance, and Chinatown Wars).

I don’t know who’s running the show at these big game companies, but they sure know how to ruin games that used to be fun. Assassins Creed, Halo, and now GTA.

Seems like every time a tech company rebrands, it’s a cry for help.

Yep. Job numbers are the “actual economy” – the actual economy is driven by wages and consumption.

Stronger wages → stronger consumption → higher demand-pull inflation.

But higher inflation implying that “rates should go up” is central bank doctrine. It’s not a general law of how economies function.

Central banks intervening with interest rate adjustments is what distorts the prices of equities downward, when inflation rises.

Without central bank intervention, inflation should theoretically push equities higher (a highly-inflated economy driven by rising demand is by definition a well-performing economy!).

Central banks intervene because runaway inflation can be harmful to wage-earners (they save in dollars, not assets).

But I’m not sure if a 2–3% inflation target is ideal. It seems to me that this arbitrarily low inflation target restricts the growth of the economy in ways that might affect wage-earners, defeating the stated purpose of monetary policy, since higher rates also have the effect of curbing job growth as well as raising the cost of servicing mortgages.

They do have intrinsic value!

Growth stocks trade on a multiple of earnings: earnings have intrinsic value.

Your pricing currently seems prohibitive for that kind of use case. Shouldn't it be usage-based so one can build a product where users can connect their apps without having to worry about arbitrary limits on plans? There should be a PAYG option that simply charges per connection, and automatic volume discounts.

Oh this is what I have been looking for all this while! I was previously manually copying from uithub and Gitingest but that wastes so many tokens

I’ll try it out.

Thanks for making this! Any chance this could be open sourced so we can run it locally?

Does that mean that using Prisma Accelerate and Pulse with an external database will cost the same as using it with the bundled database? (Since I don’t see database-specific costs for storage, read replicas, PITR, backups)

Congrats on the launch!

I’m a bit confused about the pricing.

The docs and pricing pages on your website don’t seem to outline how the pay-as-you-go pricing will work.

Is this still being figured out?

A fellow HN reader I know in a Covid Cautious online community shared your comment with me, and I just wanted to come here to say that you’re not alone.

There are some of us who stay largely indoors and only leave the house for essential visits, with a respirator. I’m one of those people.

I don’t know if you’re able to find a local community that’s cautious too.

But if you want to talk, I have contact details in my bio.
