Agreed, Adam mentioned many times in his screencasts that his intention for Tailwind UI was to create a source of income to keep working on these projects. I'm happy he went this route rather than a Patreon or starting to charge for co

Interesting, that's probably further than I was even considering. Part of me is thinking "how upset would I really be if I went to pay for something and got an 'under construction' message at the last minute", proba

Fair enough, and to clarify that is what I meant by "fake". I guess just fake in the sense that the user clicked through to your page expecting there to be a real product.

Personally? I don't know if I'd feel right with it but I also don't work in marketing. I was involved in observing a focus group once for a startup I worked for, but even that felt weird for me. I'm more interested in wh

I think you're mistaken on point one, sites that use localStorage to store tokens are not in general susceptible to CSRF attacks [1]. The reason being that seperate domains can't access eachothers sessionStorage or localStorage in

Very cool project, do you know how this compares with Hugo's javascript minifier / bundler?

TIL I suppose Python doesn't even have backwards compatibility within the same major release as we saw with the addition of the async keyword in Python3.5. Many older Python 3 packages broke because they expected that to be a legal ide

It certainly could've been done by design but I think more likely this was a doomed project from the start. They rushed this app out with too little time for testing. I don't want to speculate too much on that screenshot but it lo

Late reply but you might find it useful to check out this post which is much more detailed https://segment.com/blog/separating-our-data-and-control-pla... I'm also left with some questions however. If the issue is

I developed both Yodlee and Plaid integrations for a customer last year. I remember the Yodlee sales rep mentioning that over 75% of their supported institutions are direct API integrations. Now, this is coming from a sales rep so take it w

I guess it depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go and what you want to learn? For example, we recently built something to the same effect to deploy our single page applications to AWS. It creates a new Cloudformation Stacks

Not OP but I was just looking through their repo and I've done something similar in the past for a different application. We both used Blender for generating the rendered synthetic data. Blender has a really simple python API that was

Yeah a couple years ago we switched from using vanilla Flask to Connexion which lets you describe your API through the an OpenAPI spec. Connexion handles routing and request validation and our developers can just import the yaml into Postma

Not OP but to answer #2, based on the benchmark code here [1] the difference is that actix-pg accesses the database through message passing in the actor system [2] while actix-core accesses it directly [3]. [1]. https://github.co

No I work mostly with REST apis and I find that api consumers don't really care about having nice relative links or references to self. If anything the popularity of GraphQL indicates that they want more flexibility than is usually ava

I think the issue brought up in this blog post pales in comparison to the two biggest problems faced when working with REST APIs: querying for nested data, and the limitations of CRUD interfaces to model complex behavior.

I'm more interested in hearing about what the workflow is like for developers on larger teams. Do they each work on their own features, write separate migrations, and have a DBA approve and merge them.
51.
by abetlen 7y ago
Thank you, the Fowler article is very helpful. Does your team have someone act as a DBA to oversee each migration?
52.
by abetlen 7y ago
We use Alembic as well and it does make the process easier. I like the suggestion of not applying destructive migrations immediately. Just out of curiosity, has your team used Alembic's branching system with any success?

This and ONNX.js are two projects I'm following very closely even as someone who mostly only works in PyTorch or Tensorflow. I think they both have a lot of potential to reduce the cost of deploying machine learning solutions, especial

I've heard about the problem with the RPi's constantly corrupting SD cards before. I'm curious though, did you try out any other microcomputers in the RPi's price range before upgrading to the NUCs?
