I agree - suckless software typically less features and a worse experience for even "advanced and experienced computer users" From another side of things, I want my SO to be able to use my computer if they need to, and suckless so

Elixir fits in here as well, if the workload is thread-bound and not computation bound. I think Elixir's syntax and idioms are better than Go's, but that's personal preference.

Syntax is pretty much the entire reason that people stay away from languages like Erlang and Lisp

the author even says that this is more for convenience rather than impenetrable security: > I created Portable Secret to securely exchange documents via email with my mother, who can’t be expected to learn PGP, age, or similar.

There's a few ways. Already have an old pc hanging out somewhere? Good - don't buy anything new. Run the HTTP services from there and set up port forwards in your router, and DNS with your domain registrar (or set up cloudflared a

I got a similar implication from the line "My agency uses a different tactic, but just as effective." To help convey your meaning here, it may be better to change it to "My agency uses a different tactic, but just as exploita

I'm pretty sure that's where Elixir got its start, too. Jose Valim is a member of the RoR core team and he wanted better concurrency for Ruby.

Why is it always a plan straight out of sci-fi rather than "yeah we'll use a mix of renewable and nuclear energies, heavily reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and create combustible fuels from renewable resources". Obvio

I don't think it's too bad. Kiosks aren't overly prevalent, so unlike particularly egregious clickbait examples (Dentists hate this one simple trick for perfect teeth, etc), I had less stake in the result. I was still curious

The technical interview for my current job was phenomenal. It was a leetcode style interview (maybe it was through hackerrank? I dont remember), but it was just writing code to hit a JSON-based HTTP API and collect the results into a list

I'm so exhausted from constant advertisements. I'm so tired of my information being sold off to third parties in order to deliver ads. I'm so tired of good, useful tools and services requiring a forfeit of my privacy in order

Hy is great fun - the batteries of python and the expressiveness of lisp. I've written a few scripts here and there, and I've had a fantastic time with it.

I think this is something a lot of people overlook too quickly, too. It's pretty easy to get some of the benefits of FP without using Haskell/Scheme/ML/whatever in a lot of languages: - Write pure functions - Postpone si

Common lisp has a "pretty OK" story for calling C code whenever some speed is needed [0,1]. In my opinion, they suffer from some of the documentation/quick start problems that common lisp has, but they're otherwise usabl

I'd love a powerful ARM machine that supports linux, and I don't want to use Windows with WSL either. Looking forward to further development.

I agree - I think the hardest hump for developers is to learn Kubernetes first. After that, it's really not bad for most workloads.

by mikedelago 4y ago
I think better phrasing for this would be "develop 12-factor apps". At scale, Kubernetes is great. When things are still small and simple, an Ansible Playbook and a Docker container can take a company pretty far while still being

I agree; helm is too declarative. Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm. 0 - https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

The big thing too, with the `if err != nil` pattern is that it's _good_ Go practice to do that, but it doesn't feel good to constantly be spamming a 3 line error check on every single statement. I really don't like hopping in

I agree, so many of the idioms (tuple returns into pattern matching, comfortable lambdas, DI through behaviours) all just felt like a breath of fresh air. It feels like the language was designed to be as good as any other language you'

It's also really, really fun to use a language that's completely different than what you're used to. I've learned Elixir, Scala, F#, and Common Lisp on the side in the past year or so. I like Elixir and CL to the point w
