> There are languages / runtimes where there could not be two different versions of the same thing in one binary But I'm not talking about one binary here. I'm talking about multiple, separate services.

I don't think that's quite true. In my experience multi-repos have the edge here. If you have one key dependency update with a feature you need, but you need substantial code updates and 80 services depend on it, that may be impos

In a multi-repo setup you can upgrade gradually though, tackling the services that need the upgrade the most first. Can you do that in a monorepo setup?

by spion 4y ago
But with a multi-repo, its possible to e.g. upgrade the dependency just for a single service that has an immediate need for the upgrade, isn't it?

> any breaking changes should be dealt with in the same change as the version bump Does this mean that some things will never get updated, as the effort required is impossibly high?

Using bazel is nontrivial amount of effort (most of the open-source rules don't really work in a standard way due to the fact that google doesn't work in a standard way). I guess with a 1K engineering company you can afford a subs

A while ago I picked up PureScript again, and it has a new life. The tooling (both cli and editor) has matured, the number of code examples has grown a lot. Its quite pleasant to use! All the tools and other goodies are listed here https:

Agreed, deploying the lighter model seems like the quickest way to leave a bad impression. Wonder if doing a slow "exclusive" rollout with invites (like with gmail) would be better from a marketing perspective

The main problem is that the worst consequence of not following this rule is still perfectly usable, while the worst consequence of overdoing it is the font-weight: 300, color: #555 nightmare that we see everywhere on the modern web

ChatGPT is capable of reasoning but it has only one tool: "thinking out loud". If you'd like it to solve more complex problems, ask it to do it step by step, writing down the results of each step and only at the end stating t

This is a speculation based on a few longer chats I've had but I think ChatGPT does some text summarization (similar to the method used to name your chats) to fit more into the token window.

I understand your point. But discussing these issues in a public forum has an additional benefit in that it also raises general awareness that they're a problem. Also, it is an interesting question. Why do we keep seeing blog designs

Accessibility and usability issues can and should be reported. I'm not sure if the guideline applies in this case, as the issue has significant impact and the article author might want to be aware of it.

Observables didn't properly integrate with promises at the right time - if they did they'd be accepted way more easily (e.g. `.first()` returning a Promise rather than an observable or `using` accepting promise return values and&#

Async iterables are bare-bones, and WHATWG Streams are not much better. I removed Dart from the comparison.

This is why we need proper, rich stream abstractions in JS that integrate well with promises. Promises by themselves are not enough. Note that a real world implementation of this would also limit the number of concurrent requests - another

This is not always in your control - especially if you're using libraries and frameworks. But also there are sometimes complex functions that (need to) combine lots complex data (say from multiple APIs) together to produce results, and

It can also be unit tests. You can take any function that has contracts defined and run a fuzzer (or a property testing generator) on its inputs, and its an isolated unit test. Or you could generate input actions for the entire system to ex

Most of the non-joyful experience of writing tests lies in the context preparation, not so much in the expected outputs. I think we need a modern version of design by contract instead. Its one of the most powerful techniques of testing soft

I can't second this strongly enough. You will be asked for SSO, SCIM and so on very quickly by any sizable business. Using a mature auth solution will save you a lot of work. (If on AWS, you might also want to look at AWS Cognito.

Compiling to JS doesn't solve the problem because the language (JS) isn't the problem. The problem is the browser and its inadequacy for building applications in many areas - lots of APIs that are not fit for purpose as well as si

I've found the greatest success with ChatGPT when I use it as a learning / exploration tool. If there is a topic I don't know much about, I can state the question in a fairly stupid way and ChatGPT will give me vocabulary opt
