If you can store the AdWords click ID on the server with the IP, you might be able to use your matcher to record the install as a conversion. AdWords should start optimising for installs vs downloads. But if you can carry over to some kind

Don’t worry about the karma. If you notice interesting stuff, submit it. If you notice a thread you can contribute something valuable, comment. My submission and comment history is sporadic because of that. Most of the time, I’m happy to so

It’s not really his solution though is it? WHO has been urging governments to “test test test” for months with the same argument. In fact, the UK government is currently being criticised for not testing enough. Other countries that test mor

Oh wow, now I see what you mean. Thank you! That’s work great. I wasn’t aware of ‘entr’ either, that’s exactly what I had in mind! I’ll have a look at pgTAP too. Naturally we want to test in CI, I can see this working really well. I did loo

Yeah, I’m aware of that, thank you. I was wondering if there was a way with a faster feedback loop and allowed for bug fixes without creating a new migration.

On the flip side, it’s far easier to sell to someone that comes to you. In fact, many businesses do just that and don’t even bother with cold sales. This is trivially true in the case of stores but also marketing companies, SaaS offerings.

Is there anything you recommend for handling SQL definitions in version control, development and production envs? For production, I created a command on the app that loads the stored procedures into the DB idempotently on each deployment&#x

This is a very interesting comment! Two questions: Do you have any example code that shows how this works? I get what you’re saying intuitively but example code will help me bring it to table. What about cross cutting concerns? I’ve found s

This is exactly what I was trying to say in a fraction of the words :) I prefer TypeScript. And I enjoy using it with React. But I cannot justify the overhead of the build process and, if react is included in the artefacts, the asset overhe

Again, another React enthusiast assuming I’m a purist. I’m sorry my comment made you froth at the mouth. I’m not a HTML/CSS purist. I made a point of saying that. What ever works for you but until you can prove that it “works just fine

I’ve not used those to give an opinion on their outputs. But if you can use React in way you produce a minimal, static build of an LP, that’s okay. My main argument is that a sales LP doesn’t need the interactivity React was built to provid

Why would I need TypeScript, code splitting and new functionality on a single page with one purpose: to sell? I’m all for extensible solutions when required but React does not buy me much for the overhead on a landing page that I drive paid

There are a number of assumptions here: 1. I’m using that much JS 2. Said JS is spaghetti 3. My split testing tool needs integrating with my ‘spaghetti JS’ 4. I’m creating enough landing pages the overhead of duplicate HTML/CSS is hig

by jwdunne 7y ago
This is not a good use case for react. At all. A landing page should do one thing and one thing well: drive an action. The less distracting interactivity the better. The only thing you want interactive are your CTAs. The overhead of using R

Was going to reply with this, you need to brown a steak. That’s where the flavour comes from. Much easier to brown a steak that is already warm too. Would need to be careful of overcooking if you’re used to 90 secs each side on a seating ho

Is your generator hand rolled or do you use something in particular? We’re working towards a similar solution where we want to layer/compose different tech choices based on what’s mandated by project requirements!

I can recommend that extension. Hooking it up to our SonarQube instance makes it easy to propagate rule changes/additions. That then catches violations earlier, rather than SonarQube failing a CI build. We closed our feedback loop by s

Funnily enough, I watched it the other day. Morpheus mentions that the machines use a combination of “human batteries” and fusion. First time it stuck out - humans purely for energy purposes seems daft with access to efficient fusion. Growi

That used to annoy me too but Foxit PDF reader app makes it far more pleasurable an experience. It's not like flipping a page but it's as good as reading a PDF on desktop.

Those variable speed limit signs are meant to be enforced by average speed checks with cameras. I'm not sure what's going on with that, I know there are delays, but there's signage that says there are regular speed cameras. S

This has been my experience too. On a project I'm working on now, I went majority integration tests. I have about 200 of them and they now take 2 minutes per run. VirtualBox and Jest doesn't help. To stay sane, I've had to ru

Not so severe in my case - your experience sounds rough :( - but music helps working in an open plan office. A pair of good, ear covering headphones improves my focus in a huge way. Great for crunch times - especially with distraction prone

I made liberal use of jest's expectation framework and module mocking. Migrating is 'doable' but at this stage in the project I can't justify the delay on the deadline. I've got about 200 integration tests too with

Jest, FB's JS testing framework, is described as blazing fast but is actually twice as slow as Jasmine (or was at some point). If twice as slow is blazing fast, I don't know what twice as fast is. I do know 'blazing fast&#x27

They were incredible. In fact, so good that it was educational. Whenever we had a problem, I'd ask for full technical details and I'd come away with something. A big portion of my admittedly limited knowledge of sysadmin work came

Yes. They say the bulk of the cost is fanatical support but it's been far and away from that lately. It's like £1000 a month for a low end server and crap support. It's ridiculous now. For example, we agreed a planned mainten

Your book taught me a lot. I got stuck some of the way in (dropped out of education at 16 - kids and full time job don't offer much opportunity for the focus it deserves). It's the furthest I've progressed with this topic and
