Good points! Seems like for "6. Optional properties" One should rather use tagged unions (see: Abstract Data Types, variants) that are usually written like this in TS: type Product = | { type: 'digital', id:

An alternative take to this article would be that this person wasted two days because he was reluctant to ask more questions from the person who filed the bug report. How often do you actually receive quality bug reports at work? My experie

Thanks for making this, I've been using it to help me send emails, push notifications etc. to 20-30k users in a Django project :)

I wonder which is more closer: 3years or "a week or two" to learn enough haskell to start writing things with it. At least for OCaml/ReasonML it was "less than a week" for me and Haskell is probably not that much ha

Maybe you should try the dev experience of Elm or ReasonML before shooting down the author’s comments. I get what you are saying and I also get what the author is saying it might be that you are missing something truly great in our engineer

The credits are probably because it’s a way to get to you to pay in front rather than after the billing period. Some other cloud companies do this too so it’s not too far out. However, it’s a better UX and less hassle to just bill customers

Why do you want SQLite for development? Running Postgres on your dev machines is a docker one-liner that you can put in the README.md for your devs to copy paste. Most sane CI services also offer Postgres.

GDPR allows sharing & processing your data if it can be reasonably assumed that it’s necessary for providing the service and in the user’s benefit. If WHOIS is how domain business works then there shouldn’t be a problem? It’s necessary

Kafka doesn't persist things forever. AFAIK it's totally OK if you have say 14d retention and then the data is deleted from Kafka too (it was deleted from everywhere else already because there was an event/request to do so)

GDPR and Kappa/event sourcing/message queue based/you name it architecture goes together nicely as you get audit logs of everything and it should be quite doable to propagate "delete this person's data" events

This doesn’t change what I said though does it? I never implied that anyone could do those things. The point was that you’re not automatically participating in the “get lucky to become successful” lottery.

Being a white male is certainly not mandatory for becoming successful. And a better personal ability would be to have supermodel genes :>

by elnygren 9y ago
I agree. I merely stated that it’s not automatic that you are even participating in the lottery of “becoming successful” :)

You can only get lucky if you position yourself to be able to get lucky. In addition, you need that carpe diem attitude to exploit any lucky breaks. A business opportunity is not gonna magically appear if you are not constantly looking for

Why are 4K TVs cheaper than 4K monitors (same size) ? Something to do with marketing and how the two businesses differ (TVs B2C, monitors B2B)? Or are there actual major differencies in the tech? Like what panel is used or something like th

Because mobile apps just have to be written in Go? There’s just nothing else out there that can handle the highly special and rare use case of UI programming? ;) Probably a cool hobby project (and there’s nothing wrong with having hobbies!)

If you're proposing that web servers should not exist and we should just expose the SQL DB via HTTP: what about when you don't have all of your data in a single database? What if I want/need Cassandra, ElasticSearch or MongoD

You are correct; caching is always hard. Load and bloat? Well that depends. If you're doing a realtime collaborative texteditor with a realtime chat, I just don't see how you'd get anything even remotely nice without what you

I think what you say makes no sense at all. The idea of AJAX/SPA was to provide interactivity and a less technical UI that caters to the average Joe. AJAX/SPA moves some of the computation from the backend to the frontend so the s

Fat binaries don’t solve the same problems as Docker does (there is some overlap though!). The author is right about k8s. And what do you need to run stuff in k8s? Containers. And what is a pretty good container format? Oh yeah, Docker. Alt
