I've been sitting on publishing these notes for a while, because I don't want to diminish the work of the talented people that engineered SwiftUI and plowed through years of AppKit and UIKit code to get to this state.

For as long as I can remember, maps.google.com was the defacto domain for Google Maps. Also for as long as I can remember, I allowed this domain to use the location services of my browser.
Falling out of love with warp Back when I wrote this codebase, warp was the best / only alternative for something relatively high-level on top of hyper. I was never super fond of warp’s model — it’...

Tiddlywiki is a great tool, but because it runs in the browser, it has only limited access to the filesystem to save changes. This has led to dozens of tools called "savers" that work with Tiddlywiki to save it. These span the gamut, including full fledged desktop apps (most notably TiddlyDesktop ), browser…

TL;DR: Mastodon’s Sidekiq deferred execution jobs are the limiting factor for scaling federated traffic in a single-server or small cluster deployment. Sidekiq performance scales poorly under a single process model, and can be limited by database performance in a deployment of the default Dockerized configuration.
