TuneCore has really gone to hell after it was sold. I know horror stories from musicians that used them years ago but since had to move away because of technical and support issues.

Yep. And it doesn't even have to be a call center, manual verification would be enough.

This is one of my major Hacker News pet peeves. People talk about any law whatsoever and people immediately jump to "yeah but what about this crazy edge case" as if the legal system itself doesn't take those into account. T

Publishing to Maven definitely works. Updating SQL drivers, etc, is not trivial because you don't have control over the code, but if you have enough integration tests (or at least proper failure handling) for your separate library then

For a grid-style gallery you can have a container for each image with a fixed size (the maximum size you want an image to be) and the image itself can use max-width and max-height with the same size of the container. If your aspect ratios a

Sure, but complaining and proving it is possible to have smaller/faster websites is important because it can inspire and lead to better tools, libraries, services, standards, techniques and even new fads (!) in the future. I understand

I agree with you. But I think GP has a point, he just picked wrong qualities... I believe in software engineering especially it is important to have empathy (to code in a way that others understand) and humbleness (to accept your limitation

If you are already doing code reviews, it is trivial to setup. If you’re using microservices + monorepo, you need exactly the same thing, otherwise people will just commit in your service. If you’re relying on multiple repositories, you can

It works pretty well with frontend frameworks, as long as you keep the interfaces simple and don't try to cheat and put business logic into the frontend. IMO the the source of truth for Views and Stored Procedures should be a git repos
859.
by ratww 5y ago
Wether it makes sense to put business logic in procedures really depends on what's involved in "business logic". For data-heavy apps with very complex schemas, your code can actually get more readable inside stored procedures

My point was that the point of Rails vs React isn't about features but rather about architecture. I agree with you, I'm just trying to strengthen your argument.

They do have Edge Functions, which is similar to Lambda. Same with Netlify and Cloudflare. For DBs you have to seek somewhere else. It's not really something that will run your Rails backend, but it has the potential of doing a lot for

Netlify is also at 2bn [1] I think it makes complete sense. There's a lot of room to grow in this space. There's a lot of money going into tech salaries, and even then it's hard to find people. Anything that saves developer t

The Creator app he runs on the Atari ST is a MIDI sequencer, not a DAW or sampler. The machine is probably not fast enough for realtime sampling. For sampling he is very well known for having used a pair of Akai S950s, each with 2.25MB of R

There is a lot of overlap between Rails and React, and you probably could use both to make 90% of the apps out there or more, but what really matters is the 5% that you can only make on Rails and the 5% you can only make on React. Plus the

I don't disagree, but saying that people adopted React because of things like "client-side updates without full page refreshes" kinda walks right into the GP's trap: doing it it was already possible with Rails several
