For the specific use case in question, what I've been doing for years is not just hashing the data, but hashing an internal secret AND the data. The secret isn't stored in the database anywhere (usually an env var but could be a

There isn't one, it's just not built in. I added it as a feature to my package kubert[0] but that needs a little love/work I haven't had time or motivation to do recently, and there's upstream work in Kubeclient nee

I have tests that do this :-) Well, not for an order, but with a sort-of-monolith sort-of-microservice system with email, dashboards, reporting, a JS SPA and a lambda/flask/zappa based API thats decoupled from the admin app, we w

Depending on what you mean by "in a decentralized fashion" the two aren't mutually exclusive. Many bitcoin clients, like Electrum, are distributed, non-centralized, but rely on the existence of SOME copies of the entire bloc

I thought so too until I read this http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/#is-a-work-indep... and, maybe there's counter arguments? But it seemed like a pretty good argument to me.

I submitted this mostly hoping to see if there were already any comments on it, but I guess maybe now there will be if anyone has thoughts! I'd never heard of Dalmatiner before, and they admit bias because authors maintain, but they s

I find it somewhat hilarious to list Neuromancer as "Hard SF", though I liked it a lot... but Gibson has never even used a computer when he wrote it! Which explained so much about it's weirdness to me...

It's half novel, half related series of 9 short stories, but Accelerando is great. The Martian by Andy Weir (movie based on it) was quite good. Daemon I think also qualifies, though it's SF dressed up as a thriller. Oh, Blood M

From thescribe's parallel comment it sounds like you're describing doctests which is a built in feature in Elixir, and I believe in Python also. Many languages have doctest libraries available, though not many support it being pa

Erlang/OTP 20 came out June 21[0], so about 5 weeks ago. Makes sense though, Eliir 1.5 was waiting for final release of OTP, and Phoenix was waiting on final release of Elixir, but they'd all had very stable preview releases for a

This looks awesome! It's also a kind of perfect companion piece to an Elixir/Phoenix project a friend of mine, Travis, did over at Stride[1]. I also have my own social-good oriented learning-phoenix/ecto project[2], OpenPant

I used to somewhat dismiss IQ for this reason, but the thing is, though the concept of "General intelligence" as a concept is, perhaps loaded, it's really an average of a number of independent measurements, each more well def

Profits don't generally have a simple/strict meaning in business terms, AFAIK. Maybe you mean EBITDA? (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) I think even that is maybe not what you mean/wouldn'

This looks neat! I'd mirror what codebreaker said and probably in the long term you want to use something like helm.sh to manage your kubernetes yaml, but this may help get started. Also possibly useful for getting started (especiall

Would you care to expand on what "the whole point" of CQRS is, or how they missed it? You seem to imply that the existence or creation of a library to support the pattern is, in some sense, against the spirit of the pattern, whic

I think the Erlang question is misleading perhaps, because using erlang functions in elixir doesn't actually involve/require learning erlang... any erlang function is available to call directly from Elixir, generally just namespa
