I think this was open sourced earlier but I just discovered it. As a personal anecdote, I've written many ad hoc code mods while working on Luna2 (Asana's next framework) and had no idea one of our founders wrote this. He apparent

I've thought about Cloud Functions but Lambda may be better.

What was your decision for REST over GraphQL?

What are you moving to as an alternative?

Hmm, I'll have to look for benchmarks then. My general experience is that it is hard to outsmart the VM performance wise in the long run

I really appreciate the argument in this post. That being said, I wish the author provided a suggestion of what the cancellation mechanic would be
247.
by pspeter3 9y ago
Interesting, I would have assumed that relying on VM scheduling would be more efficient. As a corollary, are custom promises faster than native promises?
248.
by pspeter3 9y ago
What is the overhead cost of maintaining the scheduler?

Ask HN: Is there an engineering specific version of Klout?

That is actually a concerning fact that the alpha hasn't been stabilized. I do know the stable release does work in production though.

Is there a way to achieve this without the method chaining DSL?

I definitely think personal preference is the most important factor. Out of curiosity, how do you qualify a small company?
253.
by pspeter3 9y ago
I think it is reasonable to ask for that. I think there is also a question of whether or not you would want to work at a company that doesn't respect your time.

Are there any stats for the compiler speed difference?

Agreed, but I find it helpful to understand the transpiled code. The "clean" ES5 output was a large reason for using TypeScript https://blog.asana.com/2014/11/asana-switching-typescript/

Not all browsers support ES2015 so knowing ES5 first is helpful.

That's awesome! Do you use any of the premium features as well?

I haven't used Telegram in a professional setting but seems like a good solution. I'm hoping Matrix/Riot takes off and the open protocol enables a native experience.

by pspeter3 9y ago
Fair. I was considering my own usage where I have very few desktop applications and tend to prefer web products. Apologies for the overstatement.
260.
by pspeter3 9y ago
Yeah, I think that's a key question as well.

NativeScript actually looks really cool. It seems mobile only right now though.

What correctness guarantees are there for caching?
263.
by pspeter3 9y ago
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Do you feel the same way about rich web apps?
264.
by pspeter3 9y ago
That's fair. I wonder if users actually care in practice.

by pspeter3 9y ago
Do you have an example app in production that cross compiles to all platforms? Also, what constitutes a real programmer?

Shouldn't this trade off be born by the market? If Electron is such a problem for Slack, users should be switching away to better engineered alternatives.
267.
by pspeter3 9y ago
What alternative would you propose?
268.
by pspeter3 9y ago
This seems like an ad hominem attack based on developers making trade offs. Electron essentially seems to be born out of the trade off of engineering a web product and satisfying customer demands for a desktop app. Edit: Removed commentary

I keep wishing Ghost would produce static content

Thanks! We wrap handlers for Asana since we're unsure if our data store is in a sane state after an error. The logic is much the same as the error boundary
