I use Chrome for Google's sites (Gmail, Youtube, etc) and Firefox for everything else. On Chrome you can install Youtube as an "app". That makes it easy for me to keep YT up and running while using Firefox for general browsing. Definitely recommend trying this approach out!
Wow, this is exactly what I've been searching for! I knew this was possible but am too busy trying to build web apps to spend time learning how to do stuff like this.
I notice this is still a 0.X version. How comfortable are you with people using this in production? Are there any success stories so far? And if it's not production ready, is there a roadmap I can check out?
The company I work for is in the process of planning a complete rework of our app and right now is the time for us to choose technologies. I so very much want to use this or something like this.
We don't recommend production use right now. There's a roadmap page here https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/roadmap -- we particularly need to flesh out shapes, permissions and validation.
Happy to chat (e.g. on our Discord) if you'd like a bit more detail / looking at whether Electric could fit into your tech pans.
Thanks for the roadmap, I should have just looked around the site a bit more, I would have found it.
And, I may take you up on a chat after I've had a conversation with my team! At the very least, I've joined the Discord and I'll definitely be following you guys closely.

Since you mentioned this — you could also take a look at PowerSync which is similar (disclosure: co-founder) https://docs.powersync.co/ - Currently beta suitable for production use.
Well, half their mother. And it’s not really all that unusual either. Bees are the same way. The males (called drones) are hatched from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen. They have no stinger and can do no work for the hive. Literally their only purpose is to find another queen and mate with her, and then they die. They are basically nothing more than sperm with wings. So much so that, when it’s not mating season, the worker bees will often kick the males out of the hive to starve to death to conserve resources.
I believe the issue the commenter above was taking was that just because someone commits, for lack of a better term, comment fraud, we shouldn't jump to suggesting he's also a paedophile.
Oh, i took that comment to suggest that the downtime could (mostly jokingly, i assume) have something to do with Spez dealing with a post he didn't like.
Seems like no one has ever been prosecuted for perjury on a DMCA take down notice. This feels like more of an empty threat by Github to prevent false DMCA complaints, but of course submitting claims on their repos would be one heck of a way to test that.
a lot of the "infrastructure" within the legal community, including laws themselves, assume that the attorneys practicing the law are operating in good faith and with ethics in mind. It's clear these days that there are quite a few attorneys who are simply not operating in good faith.
The law also recognizes that attorneys work for their clients and with in many ways are obligated to do what the client wishes. that includes "fucking around" with the law, it seems. Legal ethics rules are supposed to prevent the worst of it, but because it happened so rarely prior to the current day, the legal system has developed no "antibodies" against this kind of behavior.
it is also becoming clear to attorneys that there is little or no punishment for malevolent behavior except in extremely egregious situations, so expect this trend to continue for a while until some remedy is developed.
My mother is an employment attorney. When a company gets sued over an employee matter those kinds of messages are surfaced in pretty much every case because people tend to send those kind of things over company owned tools. Kind of hilarious the things people say thinking their boss will never see it.
Some time ago someone commented here on HN about monitoring systems for employee communications that would scan all messages and notify the bosses whenever messages containing certain keywords were sent. Words like "champagne" or "congratulations" were immediately brought to their attention. This was coupled with company policy that attempting to evade this total surveillance system was grounds for being fired.
I’m no expert here, so someone by all means correct me, but my understanding is that the fed rate correlates to the rate of interest the government has to pay on its debts. The higher the rate, the larger the chance that the government defaults which for the US would be catastrophic.
> According to the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) latest baseline, the federal government will spend $400 billion on interest payments on the national debt this fiscal year (FY). That's equivalent to just over 8 percent of all federal revenue collections and roughly $3,055 per household ... Interest costs and the national debt could be even higher if interest rates continue their upward trajectory and outperform CBO's latest economic forecast. Each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase FY 2022 interest spending by $38 billion at today's debt levels.
As the interest rate increases, those payments increase also - this is money that is spent and doesn't "get us anything more" - it's just maintaining the current debt load. The site linked is obviously arguing for "spend less money" but the math checks out, and if the debt never goes down interest rates can have a major effect. (Now sure, some/most of this debt is paid to the government itself.)
To be fair, there's an argument that it's effectively the same as the government printing 400 billion a year, or something (this is MMT). I don't fully follow the argument and honestly it's not something really actionable by me. Personally it's all too complicated for me to think about and any analogies are going to fall short in horrible and painful ways.
@mrgalaxy So long as the US onshore Dollar and offshore 'petrodollar' remain as the reserve currency of the planet default is unlikely as they essentially control all our planets money and can print more and more, or reduce money supply. It is good to be king.
People love google’s pixelbook line, I think it just wasn’t a big enough commercial success to continue. I’ve used my pixelbook every day for like 5 years and it’s still incredible - boots in <1 second.
This class of comment is pretty tired. Google Pixelbook did not "flop" it proved the viability of the $1000+ Chromebook market for serious users. There are Chromebooks on the market at all price points. You can build-to-order a HP Elite Dragonfly with a state-of-the-art CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 512GB of flash for $3200 and these are back-ordered to March 2023 so clearly the customers exist.
> these are back-ordered to March 2023 so clearly the customers exist.
Worth remembering that "stock issues" / wait times etc. are as dependant on the production plans of the product as they are on demand. It can be a sign of lots or customers, or just that hardly any demand was expected and so even a tiny amount more takes a while to catch up on (especially if e.g. there are high-demand components that they'd rather put in products with a high profit margin), or... etc
This is a legitimate question, so I'm not entirely sure why you're being faded.
Chromebooks do have a reputation for being under-powered budget mobile devices because they do serve that sector. They also do a lot more that can't be done as easily on Linux, if you have hardware that can support it.
As others have said, Pixelbooks are still coveted devices, and I've been tempted for years to buy one. I thought the original Framework would serve that niche, but it ultimately didn't.
It’s intriguing to me. First, it’s a cheaper way to get started with Framework. Second, it’s a polished, secure thin client for web stuff. I already have a powerful home server, this could be my portable window to that device.
When I was looking into it I only found a few high level things like https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so.... Nothing on how the sausage is made unfortunately. Same for Kagi which takes a similar layered approach (though anecdotally it seemed a bit more spread across backend sources).
Is there any plan to add AMD CPUs to the Framework laptop?
The 12th gen Intel chips are a huge improvement over previous generations, but my understanding is that AMD chips are of similar performance with better power usage and thermals.
Edit: This may not be true anymore, anyone is free to correct me on this.
