This strikes me as ironic, because Zulip started as a SaaS project. Much of the current cruftiness perceived in the install process is likely because earlier generations of the Zulip codebase were written with the presumption of developers

This is correct, of course, but partial progress here is massive progress indeed. The further you push the potentially complicated code towards functional purity, the more the I/O and other side-effecting/hard-to-roll-back things

I think part of the insidiousness of exceptions is that we're tempted to think there's a way to use them that's not as a flow control mechanism. And there isn't. That's what they do : _alter flow_. A sibling co

Do you have any links to docs or blog posts about how you'd go about doing that with Conda and ${PREFIX} managing compilers and libs? I'd love to see what a fully worked example looks like.

Maybe there are other factors than obsession with the speed and "productivity" effect of the money-transfer part of a transaction. Your meal and beer entering your mouth probably took 100x as long as the difference between countin

We have so many better systems with tons of literature. We -- us, the humans in bulk, as a species with brains -- have so, so many things figured out for this. Googling for "random walk" and "sybil attack" will dump s

Which is why it's very confusing that products with such an utterly trivial production pipeline are remaining so expensive -- to say nothing of growing in cost over the years.

You might be interested in IPLD in particular: https://ipld.io/ They use CBOR as the underlying serialization, and have a deep interest in canonicalization and applications of hashing.

Roughly that it isn't shit. I say that a bit tongue in cheek, but really: BSON has a monstrous amount of basic data types, some of which make very little sense and are very difficult to round-trip through other formats; and MessagePack

Yes, similarly, I rather admire the way mysql for example has numeric error codes from a large and no-reuse-allowed table. The human readable string hints what's going on; the numeric code is pretty much guaranteed to find you a relev

I've come to disagree with the notion of stacks being attached to every error. And I say that having previously authored a library for attaching stacks to every error in golang, and having used it for several months in several projects

This blog is worth a read even if you don't care about Upspin or Go. Some details are certainly specific to Upspin (and they're marked as such), but there are also patterns worth thinking about for programmers of any background.

KeeperRL is a game being developed and sold in that model! It's both on Steam (where I bought it), and on Itch.io (which seems to be the thing, for indie games now..?) and on Github -- same thing, full open source. If you buy it, you

Yes, when you turn it up to 11, reproducible builds can be seen as a recursive problem. However, that's not a doom and gloom issue: like the old saying goes: How do we eat an elephant? One bite at a time. The saying still works even

Another option to this is Repeatr [1]. Repeatr is for -- like it says on the tin -- repeating things; and hopefully, reproducing them. It's all the containment (runc, underneath), plus the ability to pull in various filesystems, speci

For errors with stacks in golang today, you could try the Meep [1] library. It's a library for M ore E xpressive E rror P atterns. You can declare error types like this: type ErrFrobnozMalformed struct { Frob *Frobnoz
