I've long admired Clayton Christensen. My wife had the guts to ask his secretary to put me on his calendar. She did, and I got 15 minutes of his time. It was a surprise call, so when he was on the other end of the line, the best I coul

Event sourcing and CQRS in Elixir with [Commanded]( https://github.com/commanded/commanded ) is a treat. If you’re interested in these patterns or Elixir, take a look. The maintainer is remarkably friendly and helpful on

There are two approaches to detecting exfiltration that I consider state of the art: * Network traffic capture for deferred analysis * Egress analysis (including decrypting SSL/HTTPS) The first approach is, IMO, more realistic. Althoug

Prague and Brno would be the two options I'd consider seriously. Prague definitely has a larger English-speaking population, but Brno is not far behind and is generally cheaper. Prague is exceptionally beautiful, however, and so if you

Going to throw Elixir Lang into the mix. - The tooling is excellent. - The code is well-documented and readable. - The core team committed to never needing to introduce breaking changes. The Elixir community tends to produce work that is ac

This implies debit as the underlying mechanism for completing the transaction, however one could presumably build a credit-based business using these cards. If XYZ company issues a Stripe card under a credit model, then XYZ company would be

by brentjanderson 8y ago
I suspect the key fraud deterrent is that funds must be available in Stripe in order for the card to accept the transaction. In other words, if I issue a card via Stripe and you attempt to use it fraudulently, I'm on the hook for the t

Congrats to the teams at Stripe for getting this out. This opens up a lot of potential for innovation with these kinds of cards. Well done! Stripe and Twillio lower barriers to entry with products like this. This eliminates a powerful moat

I've been to sexual harassment training, sensitivity training, and some management training retreats. I agree that some organizations may use them for HR compliance or to defray lawsuits, but they can help. I found these trainings help

I believe much of this is due to the Erlang/BEAM foundations Elixir is built on. Ericsson has invested considerably in Erlang for decades, giving Elixir a boost in the tooling department.

The sample code is fine for JavaScript, but it begs to be written using pattern matching, like that in Elixir/Erlang. If you have the current state and an event to apply to that state (similar to Redux), you can pattern match on pieces

They seem similar in intent and application, however Flutter skips the Javascript-to-native bridge and instead appears to compile to native code for the targeted platform directly, making it faster. In practice, React Native still _feels_ n
