How fast is it after opening the file? I’d imagine there are trade-offs being made where some aspect of performance are sacrificed to improve others but I haven’t used Figma (sadly, it looks really nice)
It does pretty well after the initial loading. But the loading is excruciating for me because I need to open different files again and again throughout the day, and it takes the same amount of time to load every file every time.
I want to acknowledge that the load-times for Figma go up linearly with the complexity of your design file + its dependencies. It is always painful when users rightfully complain about giant design files taking a while to load and fully render.
The team is working on changing that so hopefully your experience gets better over time.
This is not my area of expertise, so I am not in the position to promise anything on this forum but I just want to say that the testing framework described in the article is also used to continuously test and measure the file load/parsing time as folks are working towards algorithmic improvements.
https://linkerd.io/ is a much lighter-weight alternative but you do still get some of the fancy things like mtls without needing any manual configuration. Install it, label your namespaces, and let it do it's thing!
DHH interacted with a reseller and not directly with SUSE… We have our issues (as does any company selling enterprise support) but this is not an accurate representation.
OpenSUSE has several flavors: Leap if you want a more traditional release, Tumbleweed for a rolling release, and MicroOS for an immutable system.
If you want enterprise support, Leap is binary compatible with SUSE Linux Enterprise.
I work at SUSE so I’m obviously biased here but I really do think the OpenSUSE ecosystem hits the right balance for a very large majority of users and use-cases.
I used SLES at a previous employer and it was absolutely rock solid.
Personally, after more than a decade on Ubuntu, I finally moved to Fedora last year. While I don't have any major complaints, Tumbleweed does look tempting.
My weirdest was a server that would randomly stop responding to traffic. Debugging for multiple days (including full factory resets) only to figure out that the clip had broken and would disconnect occasionally depending on air flow through the rack. The link light would stay on so there was no way to tell by looking at it :(
After college, I dropped from 300 to 185 (currently at 200 and trying to get to around 170 as a goal). I made a similar lifestyle change and found many of the same benefits!
To me, the mental and emotional benefits alone make losing weight worth the effort. The physical side is nice and the ability to lift heavy things comes in handy, but the mental side is what keeps me working.
More recently, I got a formal diagnosis of ADHD and learned that a lot of my struggle comes from a similar root. Meds allow me to be much more intentional with my snacking.
I’d assume they just don’t. Frontier has run the numbers and decided that their shareholders will get a higher return if they are shitty to their customers.
I think it's a really cool service to offer and I could see it really helping a lot of people. Here's my thoughts on it.
The main webpage is possibly too minimal. While minimalism is nice, as it sits currently, it gives the appearance of "not done yet". I would recommend adding more explanation about what a user would expect, maybe some screenshots, user reviews, etc.
It likely feels trivial as the creator but keep in mind that you know a lot more about your service (and your vision) than your users do. The goal of your landing page should be to bridge that gap. This all needs to be done without adding any extra work for your users (including filling out forms).
That helps a lot. This is something that I haven't been keeping in mind. Great suggestions for what to do with the landing page and also some of the best advice for framing how I should think about how a user will see that first page. Much appreciated!
