There are optional type annotations and a tool to statically check them (dialyzer) The learning curve is a bit steep as dialyzer works on erlang terms internally but we've been using it for a rather large codebase for 4+ years now and

Small technical nitpick, Proton (Wine) is not an emulator. I don't own a Deck but I've been gaming on Linux using Proton for quite a while now and I have yet to encounter an actual issue with WINEs platform implementation. So far,

Yes, there's only chips with a huge community sourced eco system like Espressif out there. Nothing else.

If you want to experience this in a slightly more controlled way, I'd recommend you give the game "Turing complete" a spin. It lets you build your own turing complete processor, and define a simple assembly language, starting

I don't think their point was that "[all] people who love programming are great at it". So far, from the people I have met, I would agree that having a love for the craft distinguishes very good programmers from exceptionally

Thank you for this comment. While I see opdahl's point and agree that these summaries do not provide the same level of understanding as working through an in-depth book, I see them as the perfect fit for me. I am essentially paid to kn

I haven't used the Fireship site or any of their courses but I do really enjoy their YouTube channel. Especially the XYZ in 100s is a nice bite-sized introduction to some things you might have never heard of. https://www.you

After all, who would want to allow a customer to enjoy a product that they paid good money for in the way they see fit. Yeah, I know why I don't buy anything from some of the major publishers anymore.

No offense but thank you for demonstrating this issue perfectly. You instantly assume that I am talking about social issues that I do not agree with or that do not affect me and feel personally attacked. It's quite the opposite, though

This is an incredibly underrated "summary".

No, I agree. Web standards are not a place for personal tributes and documentations are not a place for political statements. These days, we have both.

I actually loved the SP, perfect form factor for your pocket. But I agree that the normal Advance would benefit greatly from a backlight. For what it was, I'm surprised how well the external light you could buy held up (connector &

I don't think so, no, but I don't think they will be able to sync it to a new device when they buy one. In our case, the apps are linked to hardware that the user owns and shares with multiple others. Due to very restrictive chang

In our case, Apple actively destroys user experience with this kind of stuff. We have an old iOS app for our products that runs fine even on the latest version and while there is a next gen app available that most users have switched to, so

Yes. Something. Some tech demos that showcase simple gameplay loops similar to other games might satisfy the common backer to keep waiting or throw more money at them but everyone who's got any experience in the industry knows, that th

Sounds to me like you played through the whole game under the assumption that you have to use a lot of guides, calculators and perfect ratios to get anything done. While some people do enjoy this, it is absolutely not necessary and can take

Unfortunately, I can't share it "as is", as it has grown a lot over the years and contains a lot of information about my home and work network topology and setups. (I host it on a private git server) I copied some of it into

I just use Ansible for this purpose. All my work machines are set up using a single, parameterized Ansible playbook.

From my experience working on the projects mentioned above as well as lots of Elixir code: Things you can do: * Use static typing. If not possible, use type annotations or proper pattern matching with a consistent structure (e.g. {:ok, val}

Could you elaborate? I don't see why, aside from the "refactoring dataflows" part but without static typing we would have just missed some of them and introduced runtime errors, which would have been even worse.

I absolutely agree. We took over the codebase from another team and they really took clean code abstraction to the next next level while using every last detail the FRP libraries provided. It's better when you use a reasonable level of

Out of curiosity, a lot of people are praising the "self-documenting aspect of [Reactive Code]", and I definitely see why. A single block of statements that transform and handle data in a specific way is indeed almost self documen

I agree that the surrounding framework (and I'd like to add also additional libraries) have a huge impact on this experience. The codebase I have worked on might be a bit of an edge-case too, as it was used in realtime audio/video

You can build perfectly fine SPAs using an MVC architecture, even with lots of concurrent requests and data fetching. This is why JS has an event loop and why we invented data-binding.

As someone who had to maintain two applications written entirely using the FRP Paradigm (Rx in Kotlin/Swift with a heavy focus on FRP principles), I am fascinated the idea but I absolutely hated the experience. Writing behaviour flows
