Bit weirded out by the idea that it installs via a batch file that the Readme dedicates a chapter on how Windows will flag it as a Trojan. As well as the fact that it mentions it is a 30 minute demo, but only does so buried in the Readme. J

I chose to make this as an extension so I could quickly inject data for unit tests and UI previews. I've thought to pulling out the code and making it a library as well, but Faker and chance already exist in the JS ecosystem.

I wonder if something like Nunjucks but with CommonMark could work great for the document web.

As an American living in Turkey to produce software systems for the Education industry. It is in my honest opinion this is mostly all false. Evolution was not removed (if I'm correct it was shifted in which years it was taught, pushing

Reliability of the language and tool sets is a big one. Availability of coders in the language is another, there's an over abundance of C++/Java coders looking for work, but finding a team of Rust developers is a bit trickier. Als

Gorilla Mux isn't bad either and is pretty tried and tested. Also Go is one of the few (if not only?) languages with HTTP/2 built in to the standard library. Not to mention the gRPC over TLS that comes stock as well.

I don't use an ORM currently, just plain 'ol SQL queries. And in actuality I prefer it SOO much more. Like originally I was using Hibernate with the Java JPA, but I found it just got in the way a lot and the dependencies where fin

Backend: Java (phasing out), Go (phasing in), Postgres, Redis, all on Ubuntu EC2's. Frontend: JS (TypeScript/ES6), React, ReactNative, SASS, all Webpack'ed (except RN). I think it's a fairly light stack but am happy with

What about the "I've lost that email account, can I switch it to another to recover my account?" case. Or the "I'm the legal guardian of this person and need the account control switched to my personal email",

I was actually making an open source sim city clone in JS myself a while ago. Didn't get this far at all, but I was mostly in it to test if I could get async updating from the simulation portion. Essentially doing threading in JS. Whic

I just upgraded myself to a 4K 28" monitor. Mine has 1ms response time. I noticed a slight loss of productivity in the initial stage, but really just because I was getting used to it. Now I'd say it's increasing productivit

This may actually solve an issue I was about to tackle, which is high-speed notification delivery. Currently I was going to do a nasty wrestle of PUB/SUB with Lists and blocking keys to try and get a cluster of message processing serve

Right, which I figured if there was any viable way to get sender-identification working then that would be solved at the initial point. Like HTTPS requiring a Certificate Authority to vouch for you. With out the certificate, the receiving s

Email is one actually. Notoriously hard to work with from a systems point of view, and based on a protocol that's been minimally updated since it's conception in the early 90's. It's essentially been 25 years of the same

Right, but I'm thinking the server still needs to be able to say "This person who ever they are is definitely the number you have". Like, I wouldn't check my password hashes with only the first 10 bytes, I guess that&#x2

But that sounds like un-necessary round trips. I feel like the point in an API or backend service doing this, is because it knows better and has more computing power. I'd rather have my service take an incoming list and return with whe

If it's only one year I would keep working. But spend much more time on my own projects to start a business with. If it's indefinite, like basic universal income, I would release more open source projects since money would be less

Yes, but if (it seems more like when) a collision happens in a situation like this, aren't we essentially saying someone is connected with someone they don't even know? I feel like detecting the collision takes more computation th

As someone who is going to implement "find-my-friends" in this way, and wants to do it conscientiously, may I ask why only the first 10 bytes of the SHA1? Isn't that just an incomplete hash that could collide with other valid

Could you add/did you add killing the annoying "call to action" pop-up dialog? You know, you visit an article and BAM! A fullscreen modal asking to sign-up for their book newsletter? That would be awesome.

Moving away from Java w/Spring to Golang. Java and especially Spring with it's dependencies just didn't operate fast enough on simple requests as part of a Restful JSON API. Spring was too bloated with dependencies for tech w

Have you ever tried Gulp? Honestly I had the same feeling with webpack, I like it for my "professional" day job project that's grown to huge size and webpack can chop through it quickly; but for side projects, probably not. T

I've honestly had a strange experience with Win10. On my home PC I built I installed Win10 from an OEM disk (not the off the shelf edition) and I'm not sure if that made it different, but I loved it then. Worked flawlessly, just

Coming from a Java background (as far as back-end API development goes), I've pretty much fallen in love with Go. I will definitely be using it on all future projects of my own. That being said, my pros are numerous and my cons are lim
