That's interesting. Virtually none of my friends in the Boston area (all 30+) have kids lol.

Yea totally agreed with your points, a bunch of new problems arise that most orgs aren't equipped to solve and should probably stick with monolith. I was merely pointing out the probability part and how nobody would use microservices i

by trevor-e 3y ago
The flaw in your logic/math is assuming that the resulting 5 microservices each have the same 99% uptime as the original monolith. In practice some microservices are much simpler and therefore more reliable than others, especially when

Correct, but the key part I mentioned was "Given Ruby's lack of static typing". It's nearly impossible to hunt down source code in large Ruby projects due to mix-ins, dynamically adding methods to types, etc. At least in

Everything being a DSL is the worst part for me. Given Ruby's lack of static typing, every task becomes "how does this specific DSL work again...?". And when there's a problem it can be non-obvious how to figure out what

This is amazing, wish I found it several months ago before I bought replacements. Two of my Levolor blinds broke in the same exact way, the cord wore down the small piece of plastic that handles the locking mechanism. Clearly not designed t

It sounds like you're more describing a stacked PR workflow. I achieve the same thing using stacked PRs and can still have a bunch of the "fix stuff" intermediate commits that get squashed away, because who can really predict

I've been having the same dilemma, right now my focus is: - Typescript for anything related to webdev, not a huge fan of the language but can't deny the ecosystem for productivity - Rust for systems-level projects - Crystal for qu

Got it, thanks. This actually fits one of my side projects really well, will have to try it out with NextJS.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I thought they were targeting mobile developers since they claim to replace Firebase, but sounds like a mobile app API wouldn't fit their platform very well. That explains why I was very confused tryin

I looked into Supabase a while back but left confused on how to do a basic REST API. They auto-generate an API to interact with the tables you create which sounds neat, but like, where does the business logic live? I then checked out their

From Google themselves: https://www.android.com/get-the-message/ Apple is arbitrarily and intentionally making it a worse experience than it needs to be.

Nice, looks like the Ruby equivalent of sst.dev for folks that prefer Typescript.

For my brain it's an incredible amount of noise to parse through compared to {}. Especially in addition to the amount of things you have to keep in your head since there is no typing to rely on.

It says so right in the OP > The original work by Bjorn Staal used localStorage, but I found sockets more fun, because if tweaked a bit, this can be shared with friends.

Reddit does this too. You can add a ".json" suffix to any post and get the JSON response.

I worked at a FAANG-adjacent company for a ~year and was also woefully unprepared for the politics. Definitely not as bad an experience as OP, but it still took me by surprise at how cutthroat/scheming the average employee is at these

Yep, intermediate commits on a branch tend to be completely worthless. I'd much rather have "git blame" point to the commit that contains the entire change together.

It's the precision and nimbleness that's scary to me compared to weapons capable of vast destruction.

Feels like every language should have an introduction like this. It's frustrating that lang intros are either your very basic and trivial example, or a full-blown set of tutorials, nothing in-between. I also chuckled at the "20 mi

Does this not work with Stable Diffusion models? Not super familiar with all of this yet but I can't find any from HuggingFace that are compatible.

This sounds like https://stripe.com/atlas The shutting down part is interesting and I'm not sure how/if Atlas handles that.

Building the backend component for a social media site like Reddit is much much much harder than slapping a frontend onto an existing API. And it's en entirely different engineering skillset (distributed systems) that many app develope

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?). https://sia.tech/

Is Supabase targeted towards webdev "apps" or mobile "apps"? As a mobile dev I got excited to check out a Firebase + serverless alternative, but the docs seem very targeted towards webdevs and non-native apps. I see ther

Does anyone know if Github uses Sorbet for their Ruby and Rails code?

by trevor-e 4y ago
Ha I definitely agree with you there. While impressive from the company's standpoint, I'm not sure it's something I'd highlight either. If anything, learning this would steer me away as a prospective client.

Is that something you can reasonably prepare for as a company? Like just keep a bunch of extra support people on payroll in case there's a catastrophic event?

Sorry for detracting from the release news but SQLAlchemy has to have the least helpful website of any major library I can think of. I'm trying to find basic 101 code examples and it's just one wall of text after another. I found

Early on in my career I was overly enthusiastic about writing unit tests for maximum coverage. I wouldn't say they were totally useless, but anecdotally I don't think they caught many bugs/regressions and over time it was a l
