Anyone here using the Matrix ecosystem instead of Teams for a more "enterprisey" company?

Not exactly on topic, but does anyone have experience with the Akka ecosystem as an option to Elixir/Erlang? I'm considering it for a new project.

Forth has almost no syntax, which leads to every project becoming some kind of domain specific DSL. This is not necessarily a problem, but it leaves Forth without a strong sense of identity as a programming language. This is my opinion, of

One or the other. It's basically a financial calculator for a niche market, so functional programming fits like a glove.

I'm in need of a functional language for a small part of my system and I'm considering Scala and Purescript[0] (mostly because of their ecosystems). Maybe Scala 3 is a good time to be boarding Scala's ship. I'd appreciat

That's the same as when you have a "normal" user ID in the token. You have to bind the request to your user's data _somewhere_.

by haolez 5y ago
An insanity has just occured to me: you could update (i.e. regenerate) the user's ID to invalidate tokens, fixing the logout issue and keeping the architecture stateless :)

I hope it's open source!

Why do you want access to other people's riches?

Starting a project like this from scratch must have been a bold move for the team involved. I imagine that, in a pitch, the outcome of this tool seemed too good to be true and they actually delivered it. Well done!

It's a language that protects your investment. There is a lot of effort in backwards compatibility and the language puts a lot of constraints in the devs so that the development moves slowly, but in a sustainable manner. This is the be

A little off topic, but if you are going with mostly managed services and you don't use k8s, what would you do to have decent tracing and observability? I'm currently using a combination of FaaS and cloud queues, for example.

Why? I'm genuinely curious, since I've never worked with kdb but I've often heard great things about it (regardless of the weird query language).

There is a very cool startup in Brazil creating a startup accelerator meant only for moms. Check it out if this interests you: https://www.b2mamy.com.br/

There is also licensing. Some licenses won't allow static linking on proprietary software.

I've worked with Windows, Linux and MacOS. Software-wise, Linux was the most pleasant experience. What I think most people enjoy about MacBooks are the incredible hardware (touchpad, display, etc) and more support for commercial applic

Even nano can become a powerful programming editor if combined with fzf[0]. You can quickly navigate to files, tags and language server stuff and then open your files directly into the line of interest. It's a nice exercise for someone

The incentives are different. Time to market and exponential growth are not the main concerns. You have financial incentives, enforced by your contract, to deliver documentation and to test every delivery under rigorous QA. I think this fri

In mission critical software, software engineering feels like engineering. A friend of mine that has a company focused in this niche jokes around that his IDE is Microsoft Word :)

Complementing my answer to the parent, in my case, most of these pushes for consulting and hype stuff comes from other executives or stakeholders. I simply decide not to veto some initiatives, since they are not strategic.

I'm currently the CTO of a "normal" company (i.e. not a startup) and I confess that, sometimes, I have the incentives for delegating responsibility for the outcome of non-strategic projects to third-parties, since my attentio

I'm not an expert, but from my beginner's view, unikernels feel like a hack to make hypervisors work as an app orchestration platform. Maybe this is useful regardless :)

While you wrote this, your country's Central Bank printed a few billions (or trillions, if you are american) in your currency, so that your money now is worth a lot less than before.

I don't usually resort to a debugger to hunt for bugs, but I use them a lot to explore APIs in "real time". I find them much more convenient than the likes of Postman.

I wonder what would happen with bigger blocks besides making the blockchain use more disk space. We have BCH and BSV to compare, but not in BTC's scale, I believe.

I'm much more interested in ReScript[0] than TypeScript, but I guess that TypeScript is much more appealing to C# programmers and much more supported as a whole. Anyone here has some experience with ReScript (or ReasonML, for what it m

I've been really interested in the code inlining feature[0], even though it's just available for JavaScript/TypeScript. What's holding me back right now is that supported for Azure Functions is still in its infancy for c
