Does anyone have experience making tests against real databases fast? I resonate with the sentiment of this article, but have struggled to find an alternative that’s fast enough as the test suite grows, isn’t flakey in CI, and is able to sh

You could “yield” the record instead of constructing the list. This makes “read_portfolio” into an iterator instead of returning a list. Use a list comprehension or list constructor to convert the iterator to a list if needed.

would old be something like: implementation is no longer relevant (the software itself is obsoleted), but the idea is seminal -- a basic conceptual building block upon which current systems are implemented? Example: Lambda Papers ( https:&#

This is really interesting. What kind of metrics is the culture focused on? How were they established. Can you think of examples when critical/deliberate decisions were made to pursue the integrity of the culture (rather than shifting

I work for a global / English-speaking company in Japan. We don't have futsal and basketball instead of vball, but it's pretty easy to get started. PM me if you're interested.

A related market for some of this tech: remote interviews. I've seen lots of solutions for this: collaborative code editors, hangouts, Skype etc. There are frequently problems with bandwidth and friction with coordination (handoff to o

I really like: daemontools + static binary + setuidgid and maybe chroot. Or mesos where everything needs to be in a tarball, which is extracted and sole program run. If stuff is statically linked and related files (config, assets, ...) are

Yep, you're absolutely right. I guess that maybe if you care about inventing new kinds of loops (e.g. a DSL that wants to loop as a specialized kind of `fold` construct), there's more flexibility with TCO. But Clojure shows that t

Another thing to mention: having guarantee of TCO supports higher-level control-flow abstractions (capturing continuations), which is also an interesting outcome...

Yep, and the same can be implemented in any language that supports functions-as-objects (for example, javascript). It's a practical solution/workaround, but isn't quite composable/generalizable as first-class support for

When TCO is "lexically scoped" like loop/recur, the compiler can handle it. When HoF are involved, you may have a case where a procedure calls a procedure-parameter, which calls another, and another... Something about the run

An interesting thing about general tail recursion is that it's composable. Closure's loop/recur is a special case implementation of a common pattern. That's Ok, but it can't extend. Any higher order function in sche

I've been tracking the beta for a while. I'm confused about this announcement. These issues still seem unresolved? (1) docker can peg the CPU until it's restarted https://forums.docker.com/t/com-docker-xh

I use Duo Mobile for some accounts; it supports push. Definitely nicer than rushing to type a number in before the timer expires :)

Besides karma, I wonder if users will be motivated by career opportunities? Contributing to documentation could be a good signal to recruiters that are looking for experts in a particular technology.

There are frameworks that run on Mesos capable of running Docker containers. Check out Singularity, for example.

Does anybody know how they'll be funded over the next few years?

Congrats on this release, Sam. Pow just keeps getting better!

I bought a burger from a mobile restaurant (large truck) the other day. They swiped my card through a Square reader. I appreciated not having to find an ATM. I'll eat there again next time it shows up near my office since the experience was

Thanks, we'll take a look!

Thanks for the feedback! We'll tweak the payment form to make it more usable.

Hey johnrob, that's a good question. Showoff is currently implemented in three parts: a Ruby client that's essentially a lightweight wrapper around SSH, a custom unix shell implemented in Node.js, and a server written in Node.js. When a cli

Hey maheswaran, Showoff doesn't touch the body of the requests, so you'd need to use relative URLs, change the "domain" config variable each time you make a new showoff tunnel, or set up an unlimited account where you can choose a permanent

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the feedback!

Yup, try using something like `show --host=mysite.local 80`.

by senex 15y ago
Yup, this is basically what showoff is doing. Showoff is nice because it gives you: * HTTPS * Works without access to public-facing server. * Pretty URL * Eventually will support more stuff besides just port-forwarding :)

We're planning to make more "normal" installation scenarios if we see good interest. Using gem was a quick way for us to get the idea out.

We're going to add CNAME support soon. Thanks for the feedback about the color scheme. If you sign up for an unlimited account and you're _really_ unhappy, send an email to support@showoff.io and we can talk about a refund :)

Hey crikli, could you send an email to support@showoff.io with any extra details that seem relevant? We'd love to track this down!
