Just reading this post triggered my anxiety. I don’t think I’ll ever make it though a single one of these FAANG interviews if at all I want to work for one.

Thanks, just looked it up as well. But to the GP’s point, I do hope Google/Apple start banning apps (especially released by governments) even if they don’t use the contact tracing API.

Does the Indian app use the contact tracing API? I was under the assumption that it used the regular location/Bluetooth APIs in android.

A little disappointed it’s not the rumoured 14” model as I’ve been looking to replace both my 15” and 13” MacBooks. Also, regarding other comments on “just” the 4 core CPU - it’s probably all they could squeeze in without having to redesign

Dumb question from a non Erlang person - can this be used along with Elixir? I’m looking at Phoenix LiveView but would love to use Gleam for core functionality. Is this anything like Scala/Clojure and compiles down to Erlang, I’m guess

So WSL2 is supported on windows 10 Home as well, which is great. Does that mean Home also gets official Hyper V support?

I made the mistake of being a rational adult and not hoarding essentials. I haven’t been able to find toilet paper, hand sanitiser or facial tissues in the past 10 days. I live in a rented apartment and don’t really have space to store stuf

I found this extremely helpful. I’ve always been interested in Rust but never got around to it cause most of the source code I’ve read on GitHub was overwhelming. This is a nice walkthrough to get someone like me interested. Great work!

I am really excited for this project and hope it is opinionated enough and doesn’t go down the rabbit hole of endless customisable options in a Rome.js|json|rc file. I also hope this is as painless as Go and Elm’s default tooling.

Stories like these scare the hell out of me. What do you do if one of the big internet corporation deletes some resource or account that is critical to your business? What happens when support isn’t responsive and you don’t have contacts in

Might be a little late for this, but I've added why I created this framework to the readme: I was looking for a Bash testing framework with a familiar API and with coverage reporting. Although there are excellent frameworks like bats-c

by Karupan 7y ago
Since the tests have to capture the return code and output of the expression, it has to be eval'd in the _test function, and hence the string. It will be interesting to figure out how this can be done though.

by Karupan 7y ago
Exactly this! I like consistency across machines and having the workspace settings in git makes it easier.
232.
by Karupan 7y ago
Fair points. “Simple” to me means a familiar API, and the fact that I don’t have to install any dependencies. I either add it as a git sub module or just copy the file into my project. > Also, when coming across a project where other sol

Thanks for the feedback! I just released this yesterday, so I'll be improving the docs/examples in the days to come.

Thanks, will check it out. Unfortunately, it only adds to the dependency hell in the front-end stack. We already use quite a few add-ons to make Redux+Sagas tolerable. My personal take on the whole JS + Redux stack is that Redux tries to br

Redux was such a mental overhead for me when I started out with it. The amount of boilerplate code that I had to write for the project I worked on was very frustrating. What helped me truly understand the concept was Elm. These days I ask j
