Considering that elixir is a functional language, it makes sense that it doesn't make use of objects. I'll also push back on the idea that OO is cleaner than functional. OO tends to heavily use inheritance and mutates state in obs

Yeah, there were a lot of arguments in the comment that were either disingenuous or revealed they are someone who has only minimally used the framework (or maybe not at all). I've been in both Laravel and the Phoenix world, and they&#x

Very true, maybe it's not a strong predictor either way.

That does seem like the same arguments that are made prior to just about anything becoming mainstream though. I'm not saying it means nothing that python has so much mindshare, but the same could have been said to pythons predecessors

I've worked from home most of my 13 year career, first as a contractor for various clients, later as a full time employee. I definitely noticed an effect about 2 weeks after I started working from home. I was a bit more socially awkwar

Also because one of the best ways to become part of the zeitgeist is to force people to have time to talk about it, anticipate it, and generally stretch things out. You don't get the Lost/GOT/etc cultural phenomena nearly as

like others have said, you'd probably write a JSON API separately. One thing I'll mention though, is that the conventional design of Phoenix to use context modules often makes that very easy, in that your liveviews and API can jus

So first, 300 consistent listens per episode in this area is pretty respectable in my opinion. Niche things like this are more about _who_ is listening rather than how many people. I'm 100% someone interested in shows like yours, I jus

I think you may have missed that they do indeed let you sort of self host, in that you can run it on your own AWS resources. They just need access to manage it for you. Which I'd think would cover most orgs requirements out there that

This seems like an eminently reasonable thing to do, with the difficulties of supporting self hosted for a product like this on the infinite variety of customer setups. I can't imagine the time sink it must have been trying to support

This pretty much sums it up. Narrowing the scope of maintenance is a big deal. Once I'm confident in the quality of a framework, the next question is how likely and how often am I going to need to use escape hatches for this project no

I don't think it is more difficult than it use to be. There's more layers in some cases, but most of the time those are abstraction layers that making things easier (or at least attempt to). I think the difference is maybe one o

You already know me, just not under this username! I try not to put my name directly out on forums like this, but I run https://approximated.app and those 100k+ domains aren't all in one cluster, though some clusters are gr

by Alacart 4y ago
As a counter point, I've been running 100k+ domains through caddy clusters with about 1tb of traffic per month (so not a ton, but not nothing). I built and manage that solo with very little maintenance or support, which I think is a te

Despite many knocking it here, I think there's at least one significant aspect of the clubhouse/twitter spaces/etc. model of audio chat: the much stronger feeling of connection that people get from being able to literally s

Yes, thanks I should have been more clear that I knew that going in. It was the contrast that surprised me. I wasn't sure if the original hunger was just my excuse for over eating, or something I was imagining. But after talking with o

This kind of hunger is what I've felt my whole life too, though my weight is still only in the overweight category. I can eat twice, three times what a normal portion is and still feel like I need to eat. I could easily eat multiple

You can do this a variety of ways, most of which boil down to automating a reverse proxy server and generating acme certs. My favorite is Caddy server if you want to build and manage it yourself. Things get trickier if you want to handle th

Sort of, yeah, but with a heavy focus on businesses who want to offer custom domains to customers of their own apps. For example, how Shopify lets you connect your own domain to their platform (not a customer, just an example). Also a diffe

I built an API/IAAS (sort of), https://approximated.app , to make it really easy to connect end user's custom domains to any web app. It offers automatic SSL for unlimited custom domains and subdomains through dedicated

Is it more likely that Nature suddenly lost it's integrity or that people on HN might be jumping to conclusions about what the study actually says and how it was run? I don't see anything in the study that claims anything other th

Yeah, self-reported data should be taken with a grain of salt. On a large enough scale though, that data says something though. It might not be the original insight you're looking for, but it's still data. There are also plenty

I replied something similar elsewhere, but I think the real story here is about using tech to administer large scale studies and what that could mean for future research. A lot of people here are discounting the fact that this study would t

I also recommend sponsoring Matt Holt for his work on Caddy and several other very useful and high quality open source repos. He's very under sponsored for having built a server that a lot of companies use. https://github.co

Absolutely. my reply was aimed more at the unseen other readers looking to use your comment to confirm their bias that regular people can't do this without a huge audience and dismiss it altogether.
