I really love the Durable Object design, particularly because it's easy to understand how it works on the inside. Unlike lots of other solutions designed for realtime data stuff, Durable Objects have a simplicity to them, much like Red

Personally I consider that a benefit at least as often as not. In Nystromian terms, PHP functions are colorless, and that removes a whole kind of complexity (at the cost of, like you correctly point out, potential performance problems).

Can someone explain to me why this is more impressive than landing the rocket? To a layman like me, it looks very similar - the thing looks just like a rocket but without a pointy tip, and on the way down I don't understand why differe

(2015) Btw while this code doesn't win a prize, I agree with the author that functional style is worth it in many cases, even for a language as wordy and cumbersome as PHP. I still love PHP - its deployment story is still unparalleled

It's perfectly imaginable for a library to exist that is designed for a specific use case (eg securely send a message to a recipient that already knows the key), is implemented across many languages and platforms, and defaults to the s

Yes, this is exactly what I'm arguing for. Abstractions like PHP's `password_hash()`. (Note that I disagree that "HMAC-SHA256" qualifies as an abstraction. It's just more character soup)
881.
by skrebbel 2y ago
The character soup is fine. The problem is that people stop after that. Want security? Here, a bucket of character soup! Good luck! There's nothing stopping library authors from choosing good defaults for well defined use cases. My bee

I did not make my point well enough. I don't mind that crypto is inscrutable, that's fine (and unavoidable). Plenty other tech that I use every day is inscrutable (eg TCP, or HyperLogLog, or database query planners, or unicode tex

Wow, this is very nice. One of my pet peeves is how 90% of security resources seem designed to be absolutely inscrutable by non-security experts - especially anything from cryptography. Every single page in here however is clear, concise, t

Nice! mad nitpick, I feel like the Euro display filter is weird, as it renders "12.25€" whereas I'd expect a Euro value to be displayed "€12.25". I've never seen it with the euro sign at the end in my life! M

Like Java, you can write Haskell in any language but that doesn't mean it's always a good idea.

This oneliner was obviously done for the giggles, and nobody pretends it's reasonably readable code. Getting anal about definitions here is entirely missing the point. (which is "look, K lets you write extremely dense code!")

True, but i wish there was a way to say "don't inherit anything here except fonts and colors". Being able to make a new root for rems would be nice too.

We ran into this too, and ended up not using the Shadow DOM at all. We want our stuff to automatically use the page's fonts, sizes, colors etc. Also we want customers to be able to customize stuff with CSS without having to use JS hack

I've yet to see this go wrong in practice. The kinds of components that are worth publishing as web components are often large, non-trivial components. Eg media libraries, emoji pickers (like the one made by this article's author)

Not entirely, I said "Most runtimes are pretty small". I think people got trained by React into thinking that frameworks are big. SolidJS is 7kb, Lit is 5kb, Svelte is tiny and used to have no runtime at all, etc. Only React is bi

Web Components let you use a UI component made in a different framework than yours. That's it. For most other purposes they're pretty awful. Also they let you publish a UI component that works in every framework, without having
