I don't think so. In person I tend to look into people's eyes for mostly the whole conversation (easily 95% of the time) when I'm either listening or talking minus natural breaks to react to a noise or event that warrants loo

I didn't check. I have an "I think" in there because it was my personal opinion after spending a few minutes thinking about it after reading the title of this Ask HN thread. It was interesting because it made me think "t

In a virtualized world there's no consequences. It sounds counter-intuitive but I think that would be worse off because something in the virtualized environment might give you false confidence in the real world and that has serious imp

I think certain types of teams are well suited for this when your customers are technical staff members. "Operations" is kind of a loaded title because it could be 10 different things but I'm guessing in your context it'

Should this include when loading autocompletions in the title? zsh loads in 105ms for me on a 7 year old workstation but I don't have that source command for Kubernetes' autocompletion in my zshrc. I'm only loading a few plug

The blue check doesn't make sense to me. There's tens of thousands of James Smiths in the US. Is James Smith #2825 the "real" one? Anyone with that name is technically the verified one. That's who they are. If it&#x

For local variables I'd also use the -r flag to explicitly mark read-only variables when possible. It makes it easier to glance at the code and know that variable isn't expected to change.

The Rails https://github.com/rails/jsbundling-rails gem lets you pick between esbuild, rollup and Webpack. If Turbopack ends up being popular then jsbundling should be able to support it. The nice thing about Rails now

That was a nice touch to include the gradient title bar. I always thought that was a fun feature. Too bad they removed it with Windows 10 / 11 by default.

It depends on what you're doing. I wrote https://www.npmjs.com/package/esbuild-copy-static-files only using the Node standard library. It's a small library to make copying static files with esbuild more effic

What about having 1 Dockerfile but run php-fpm in 1 container with nginx in a 2nd container? This pattern is common for background workers too, such as running gunicorn + celery in separate containers (Python tools) but the same image is us

I wonder how this will handle Websockets. With Rails and Hotwire Turbo, the story to support sprinkling in Websockets for broadcasting events is there. Puma can handle long running connections which makes it suitable to use for that (revers

Using React with an API back-end is only 1 of many choices. There's tools like Hotwire[0] and htmx[1] (both are back-end agnostic) that will let you create good old boring web apps with any back-end language where you don't need t

Dynamic as in you don't need to predefine the task in a config file or decorator before you start your server. This way you can load and unload tasks at runtime based on user input which you can optionally and independently save in you

I think your statement is exactly why logging should have been turned on, at least for 1 of the benchmarks. If it's a system problem then it's a problem that both tools need to deal with. If one of them can do 100,000 requests per
