it's worth pointing out Evan (co-founder of Figma) also created esbuild.

ok, I obviously don't know all the issues this team is dealing with, but it seems to be the goal of what they were doing was this...take the base data in one ES instance and split it out into several ES instances. The way do do that is

From the link it doesn't sound like Flutter was singled out specifically, but more of a cut & slash across several teams. Doesn't make it any better though.

yes, yes, yes. Losing window positions is my MAIN gripe! Thanks for the link you might have saved my sanity!

I actually really love this! Using Karatsuba fixes a problem I've been complaining about for awhile when I'd run into certain fake-believe leetcode style problem or just doing weird non-sensical math benchmarks across different la

I think it's also a by-product of the CEO starting the company in Rails, and now having top engineers being part of Ruby core team or Rails core team. To a certain degree they'r steering the Ruby/Rails ship technically. Why w

Can confirm, my parents grew up starving in the ashes of WW2. My mother hid canned food under her bed, in her closets, everywhere for all of her life. It always annoyed me and when I'd ask her about it she always answered the same, &qu

The problem is that the idea was "we'll build this nice thing and other people who use it en masse will also be nice and give us some money for support or just because" The reality is large places will take as much as they ca

Where's the fun in that? I'm not being snarky either. Maybe it's not the best decision business-wise, but I guarantee it was more challenging and more fun. There's something to be said for that.

Don't know if you care this much or not, but figured I'd link this Elixir talk that goes into details regarding hot upgrades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeUF48vSxwI

I can't wait to see what happens in 5 years when all of this unmaintainable mess still needs maintaining. I suspect it'll be just as fun as maintaining old bootstrap or any other short-lived frameworks of yester years. Inline styl

I still can't understand how anyone designing a language can defend self-rolled stack traces as a good thing.

completely agree Elixir is a much better language all around for this type of work

Using keywords in git commits as a sign of a vulnerability seems like an extremely flawed way of doing this. This seems just as bad as early "sentiment analysis" of tweets back in the day.

I also like to do this, and I think it's absolutely wonderful for having a conversation. I've never seen a downside to this and I've never had anyone who didn't have something they wanted to share.

I think it's a fair question. I would never not hire someone over not knowing that particular flow though. Also, I've never had any developers I've hired not be able to learn it quickly. The fact that they don't know it

I completely disagree with you that Go is a C for todays world. Rust/Zig/Carbon is a C for today's world, Go is much closer to the new Java/C# It's also good to remember Go itself wasn't always risk free though

I actually agree about large RoR codebases, the last few major ones I've seen were absolute dumpster fires and the solutions implemented to fix them, was more or less standard enterprise java patterns. So you ended up doing java anyway

I'm curious what the default memory usage will be with the raising of the default process limit to 1_048_576? I think it's a good move, if nothing else people who do benchmarks with 1 million processes but don't know those se

When Shopify adopted Rails is was quite new technology though...So they literally didn't follow this advice. In fact the CEO was part of the Rails core team. Here's a talk in 2008 by the CEO about their caching issues https:&#x2F
