Thanks :) I started reading the original DDD several years ago, but bailed out due to quite how dense it is, hopefully this summary will be a little more approachable.

I'm going to shamelessly take advantage of your being here with a question if that's ok. Do you have any recommendations for reading material that covers Phoenix as it's used today? Back in the early 0.x days I read the Phoen

I don't have a good source on this, but I saw $300,000/month bandied about social media the other week.

I think someone else has pointed out that they're not ActiveRecord queries, but even if they were, this is a script designed to be run manually a few times a week, which takes maybe a minute. You'd need significantly more than 100

There are very few good things I have to say about the Conservative government, but the early days of GDS make it onto that short list. They intentionally structured GDS as much like a startup as possible, attracting a huge number of highly

The lack of ID card based auth isn't really the fault of the team behind gov.uk, who provide the best service they can for government SSO in the form of Verify: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/intro

Just look at the impact a 40 minute outage of Google Auth had last month, I wouldn't be surprised if the global productivity hit during that outage was in the billions of dollars, and that was for a relatively short outage without any

Because the UI for managing client certificates is terrible , with no real support for distributing a cert to multiple endpoints unless you're in an enterprise environment with device management, or issuing smart cards and readers. I

While playing with NixOS the other day I learned about /dev/disk/by-label which is the equivalent, but works with partition labels. So much more elegant than /dev/sda2.

These days I’d use Stripe for everything, but the other payment SaaS products exist because for a long time there were some big holes in Stripe’s subscription offering - most notably not having any simple way to handle expired/cancelle

XBox One controllers are built like bricks, and have the advantage of being natively supported down to the controller button prompts in many more games on Windows because they’re either forward or backported to the actual Xbox.

The cynic in me thinks that the abundance of old bands on festival line ups is probably more focused on targeting people with disposable income, rather than a young audience who may be very enthusiastic, but are also broke.

I've worked for an ad agency before, I ended up leaving at least partially because I couldn't support the creation of things like this without feeling incredibly dirty. At one point I was explicitly told not to include tracking on

I feel like whether particular data can be used for targeting should come down to whether there's a reasonable expectation of privacy. In the context of a Facebook news feed it seems reasonable to me that Facebook should have data on w

I think this is the optimal model, set the level of enemies to wherever you’re at on arriving and then leave them at that level going forward. That way as you progress through the game you’re always being challenged by new areas, but you ca

Poker machines are to some extent non-random. They can be tuned by the operator to set the rate at which they’ll pay out, some places will tune for better rates in order to entice customers in, while others set them to essentially be black

Don’t beat yourself up, there’s this weird belief in the programming world that to be good you have to have a deep passion for it, and want to spend every waking moment writing software and loving it. I can’t think of many careers that have

Consideration doesn't have to be monetary, in the case of the Windows EULA Microsoft are receiving someone who may or may not go on to buy other Microsoft products, while the end-user is receiving a copy of Windows they can use for the

I suspect there's something in that comment on above-average network connections - the people working on Google Cloud's UI are going to be doing so from Google networks, or over a Google VPN, which means they'll be seeing muc

Because no one has asked for it. The people who care are redirecting port 53, which the devices cope fine with, because if you’re doing that you probably have same resolvers upstream. The people who don’t care are never going to decide they

Exactly this, we’re a small team and have to pick our battles. In practice very few people have IPv6 only connections, and even fewer of the people who buy our products.

Currently, we don’t. The devices don’t support IPv6, so it’s not a problem we’ve had to deal with so far.

Currently we’re using both Google and Cloudflare’s DNS, providing resiliency against one or the other being unavailable, but I’m looking at potentially using our own resolvers just to reduce the amount of data being exposed to third parties

I’m responsible for a bunch of IoT hardware, and every firmware spec I write includes a note on not using the DNS servers provided via DHCP. While sure there are companies explicitly doing this to avoid filtering, at least in my case it’s b
