I was diagnosed with "Thymus Carcinoma", pretty similar story as yours. Had chemo, surgery and radiation. Doctors also did "hot chemo" during the surgery. With the grace of Jesus I am alive today. It was a tough few mont

Sorry, communication gap. I was only referring to the part - "> can spin up a http service in a day Surely this is a typo?" I thought we were contesting that point only. I agree that a lot of frameworks can do that. On top Node

Thanks for sharing this. I plan / hope to look into C#/.Net Core if life permits.

You are right, pretty much any modern web framework. So my original point still stands :)

Why? Use NestJS, AdonisJS, or use an existing boilerplate. You may not have everything but a simple endpoint can be up and running pretty soon. Use Heroku and / or Lambdas and your prototype is deployed and running.

Yes, pretty good alternative. But you will still need to hire "frontend" devs who can code in JS/TS. Go will perhaps have a more performant backend. So plus one and minus one. Also, not sure how easy / hard it is to hire

From the title, I was expecting the article on something along the lines of how, where and why developers can move from Node.js. However the arguments are not so solid and there is no migration path. We all know Elixir is great but the adop

Without any sarcasm, thank you, I did not know all this :) I also hope and pray that these programs are working well as intended.

I'll leave it for you to judge - https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/tax/latest-incom... 1 Lakh = 100,000 1 USD = 73 Rs. A mid-level manager / programmer would pay around 20-25% in taxes. Plus, C

As someone has mentioned in the comments in this thread, it is easy to pass laws & schemes sitting in a comfortable office. The implementation which takes resources, efficient distribution, competence and leg work is another story. Anyw

A lot of people in here are saying - oh I had to do this is Germany or Denmark or USA as well. Which is fair, but what irks me is that in India which has pretty high taxation in all departments (see Petrol/Gasoline) the tax you pay giv

Yeah, the idea was to just display a nice SVG + CSS + HTML clock with Chromium running in full-screen mode (screensaver off etc.). I know it is not the most efficient option but I was surprised that RPi struggled with opening a HTML page on

Inspired by things like these, I bought a 5" LED display for my RPI. The idea was to display the time / weather on Chromium in a "kiosk mode". I was however surprised that with the latest install of Raspbian OS it was ev

Not sure, I contacted this person, since I got their phone number from one of their emails (e.g. they registered for a hotel). I specifically asked them if they made a typo, according to them they have been using this email for years (maybe

by rockyj 6y ago
Then why did they allow someone else to create an email like mine without the dot and I even get the occasional mail addressed to them. This is really shady, specially for an important service like email.

Really good to see these changes. Kotlin is a great language to work with, it has the stability and performance of the JVM and it writes like Ruby / TypeScript. I wish more companies were adopting it as their core language and it is no

Think about it this way, every line of code you write will become obsolete one day (e.g. business will change or new version of the language comes out). Every external dependency, where you deploy, how you deploy, the OS where you host the

If the protection layer is all that is "protecting" the screen, why make it removable. Or why not put a big warning label on it (or in the manual) when you unbox the phone. Just saying :)

I really liked Kotlin too. Which web framework do you recommend using with Kotlin (assuming you do webdev with Kotlin)?

by rockyj 8y ago
I do not think so. Yes, it is ok if you are single but in India and earn 2k/mo, but remember everything is paid for and conditions are not very friendly. e.g. In Delhi you will most likely need a car (unless you WFH or live next to the
