The argument here is that the system can get itself into a state that is irreparable (and perhaps very difficult to track / debug). By crashing and having it start into a good state, the system will at least be operational again.

Yes, that's a fair point. I should have written BEAM/OTP because they're separate things. BEAM enables the process model, but the implementation of things like networking is in OTP. I'm not sure how far deep the actual p

For those coming into this that aren't of an Elixir background, here's some of the things that make BEAM (Erlang VM that Elixir is built on) interesting for soft real-time features: * BEAM provides out-of-the-box capability to

It's not explicitly labeled as CC on the license page, but maybe it's still considered CC due to the wording: https://openby.design/license.html An asset is typically the final rendering of something, not the sour

For sure, I get that. It seems like that implementation (HTML/CSS) is separate from the design here, which is totally cool. The designs are open-source and openly licensed, but the implementation is not. That seems fair given their bus

I'm a little confused by this comment. The assets are downloadable, open source in that you have access to the raw design asset, and are usable without attribution or payment. What about this is not open?

IMO, the operators of the AI are part of the production execution of that AI. There were not proper constraints in place to prevent this from happening, and it wasn't fixed after the first time(s) that it occurred. Sure you can argue t

Yea, you're right. I am reading the advocacy as "if you need real-time, then support long-polling." I see the value in this, but I actually disagree with the article in terms of that being the best solution. Long-polling is s

What about supporting fast lookup of the event endpoint, so it can be queried more frequently? I think that a combo of webhooks / events is nice, but "what scope do we cut?" is an important question. Unfortunately, it feels l

oof, I remember trying some runs in the sand before and had to stop much sooner than I would've liked. It really worked my calves in a way that I was not used to.

It's certainly easier on the joints, although you're right about injuries. Knee pain regularly takes out professionals. Really important to know when to stop pushing. Lachlan did a full 10-12 hour day in sandals because he was hav

The thread is literally "Are you satisfied with Elixir?" A big piece of that is me having brought it to a SaaS company and from 0 usage to 50% service coverage. So yea, I am curious what they'll do in 2 years—that was my poin

Sorry, have you worked with the former employer I'm mentioning? I'm talking about a specific use case that has specific needs and challenges. Blanket comments like yours aren't really helpful or necessary.

I'm very bullish on Elixir as a language, but I temper that with the reality that I don't think it will become a mainstream language (in the next few years, at least). I picked up Elixir probably 4-5 years ago when a co-worker kep

Ya I don't know how that will work out exactly. Changes so far haven't been bad for me but no experience with maintenance over time. I will say that maintenance of hand rolled Sass has not been great overtime. It's really har

Not really any advice here. I am using it for my product and it has been basically changing up the design as needed. It's pretty common for me to make use of grid-cols-1 and then something like md:grid-cols-2 or 3 to keep it single col

Bootstrap 3, Sass, styled-components. I am sure there's more but that's the last few years of stuff Before Tailwind with PostCSS, I'd probably hand roll some Sass-powered UI, or find a template to base it off of.

by sb8244 6y ago
The big advantage of tailwind for me is that it solves responsive design better than any system I've used before. I'm not amazing at frontend styling (I get by), but I feel like a superhero with tailwind css and UI (worth the mone

Thanks for this. It seems obvious reading it but I haven't thought about it this way before. I'm definitely going to explore these concepts!

I agree. I am going to reflect on this and see if there's a way to support dump files long term in our app. We sorta support it today but it's ad hoc implementation since an export can range from a few hundred of a thing to tens o

Yes there is a lot of stuff different here. I don't want to take that away. Just pointing out that websocket only is not accurate.

It uses long polling over http. To be clear it's not restful http, but it's not websockets. I believe that Chris doesn't believe it's important for most people so there are no directions right now. Could be wrong there,
