I'm waiting for a lib like Phoenix Channels with a js client that starts with WebSockets and falls back to long polling if things like firewalls get in the way. I actually found Phoenix when trying to solve that usecase in go. I feel l

As a developer who uses go microservice architecture and is in the process of containerizing our services at work, this is very valuable. Thank you! As an elixir/erlang enthusiast, haven't we just reinvented BEAM and observer?

I mean you're right in a unabomber type sense (i.e. living in a log cabin trapping small animals), but if I wanted to build my own smartphone from scratch, my whole lifetime is spent extracting materials to build the equipment required

My work has handled this with autogeneration of things like DB models. I don't know if that would be applicable to what you're doing.

Would it be possible to pass a flag to go build to change runtime.pclntab to the pre Go 1.02 implementation? I don't actually have the author's usecase though, I tend to build microservices in Go!

This is how I feel about college athletics. Make a minor league and pay the players, don't spend millions of govt/tuition dollars on coach salaries that could be spent on education and research.

> Better documented is better. I was talking to some kid who wanted to be a developer, and I echoed this sentiment. A complex tool with good documentation is easier to use than a simple tool with bad documentation.

It only gets interesting to me when browsers (or for that matter node) get tail-call optimization. Until then iteration makes way more sense than recursion in JS.

I'm really careful to not change standard settings, so when I'm remote only cosmetic things change (linting underline, autocomplete). If I do change something standard, then it should be obvious what the original command was (<

I'm using NeoVim which might explain the difference, but VSCode is slow to boot and laggy when running on my Ubuntu 18 box. Nvim has never been either. At work, on OSX, VSCode has been fine though. Still, I've never run into a sit

I maintain a legacy Grails app, it's memory hungry and brittle. A bug one place brings down all parts of it. I hate it but I'm no Java expert.

> React’s component model is much nicer than any templating system This is my feeling too. Composition and JSX beat logic in templates. Though I've seen some pretty hairy React, I still prefer it to badly implemented template files.

For my work it's all React + React-Native shared codebase for web and mobile. I've also heard that graph dbs are better for social data than relational dbs, though I don't know the details. So I guess another use case is you

Elixir/Erlang's emphasis on uptime/fault-tolerance/scalability/concurrency (admittedly at the cost of performance and the abstraction of a VM) is perfectly suited to web/mobile use-cases. On paper, Pheonix shou

You know, I recently posted about how I learned to program with no home internet connection. Learning to only rely on the docs for major libraries has really helped me use obscure stuff. That said, SO is still a wealth of information.

I used to be in this boat for financial reasons. I downloaded tons of documentation and learned to love specifications. Of course, nothing beats Google, but if the docs are good (big if) you tend get a deeper understanding of your tools.

Honest question, isn't this same big data technical effort supporting the round up of Uighurs[1]? I get that the main story is about a debtor and credit, but the concept of stratification based on surveilence-data is word-for-word 1984
