darintay··on Litestream VFS
Does this work with sqlite extensions? If I were using e.g. sqlite-vec or -vss or some other vector search extension would I be able to use litestream to back it up to S3 live, and then litestream-vfs to query it remotely without downloading the whole thing?

darintay··on Why Should You Learn Vim in 2020
If you're interested in vim, but hesitant about the lack of IDE bells and whistles, VSCode's vim bindings are so good - with full support for e.g. splits, macros, buffers, ... - that I've finally converted to using that over raw vim.

Most anything that VSCode can do, you can make vim do with plugins, but it is often incredibly time consuming and finnicky to get up and running, whereas with VSCode everything "just works".

All the productivity of being able to edit text in vim, alongside the conveniences of a real, modern IDE.

darintay··on Show HN: Indoor Location you can try yourself
Thanks for the report and sorry about the crash!

Any chance your sdcard/external storage is mounted or otherwise unavailable? We're supposed to have a popup to prompt you for that, but it looks like some code slipped in before the prompt :(.

darintay··on Show HN: Indoor Location you can try yourself
The floorplans are definitely transferable! Once you’ve mapped a location once, it works automatically on all devices.

In fact, if you walk into a location that someone else has already mapped, the “Where Am I” will automatically load that map up on your device and start showing your position.

If you’d like to do more advanced stuff with your floorplans, make a WiFiSLAM SDK account here (access.wifislam.com) and we can get you started.
