   you are right, not so useful for Result type, but still, it comes handy for Option types (since None doesn't hold anything).

   I skimmed through their docs but couldn't find whether they: * support for abstract apps, not only HTTP/web apps like heroku, let's say I want to deploy a SIP app * support for HTTP/2 and potentially HTTP/3 If they

   I wish I could use one of those, I had one actually some years ago but my eyes were burning (I have huge fonts compared to average people in my regular 17inch laptop).

   Usually you need redis to scale up horizontally, meaning with multiple servers/processes, and still keep consistency in your data. In general redis is a very useful tool that provides various features, even pub sub.

   Serialization/deserialization is such an important part of web development, I have no idea why Rails includes the ancient JBuilder (and very slow since it goes through templating) library, instead of investing in a proper library. Let

   nice! I use that quite often, so it might come handy. Quick question, how did you build that ? Does Google provide any sort of API or did you build a web scraper for that ?

   Nom is a fantastic library. I have built a SIP library [1] on top of Nom, no way I would have built that without Nom's help, and even if I did, it would be a heck of a mess and under-optimized code. [1]: https://github.com&#

    for some reason, from the video, screen doesn't feel the same quality as other e-ink readers like kindle. edit: I mean, kindle videos feel like you are reading a real paper, while here feels like you are in an actual screen.

    In my experience none really cares about your side projects during interviews. I have plenty of side projects, given plenty of talks, I list some of those in my resume along with my github link, yet from 40 interviews I had in the past 5 ye

    This works by loading a bunch of JSON on page load, and then do search on the client side in that json blob. I think it's fine, but I have looked into something similar to do as a toy project for learning postgres FTS by fetching an AP

    I haven't followed on what actually happened, but this is only bad for IRC itself. And if we had IRCv3 + federation etc, maybe it wouldn't matter that much but we are not even close.

    That's a big statement. I am afraid it's not easy to replicate Heroku, let alone build something better. Quite the opposite I would say.

    I think it's great that you can declare types optionally, but I think they are allowed for a different reason: documentation and explicitness. I would like Crystal compiler to take into account such definitions and speed up somehow. I

    Crystal is a beautiful language, however compiling times is something that put off most people who try it. How comes and they don't allow you to optionally provide types in your function/class signatures so you can help the compil

    You are bringing in Rust's amazing type system but that assumes that you understand how the 3rd party system behaves. Otherwise your types will be very loose (i.e. String ? could be anything in there) not gaining anything compared to J

    I use Rust everyday in the past 15 months. The programming language is just a very small part of the whole picture. Usually you integrate with many 3rd party systems that don't always provide all the guarantees they claim (so you get m

    squashing commits make history important actually. The history how you reached the solution in your branch is not important, I am not interested in a wip commit which could indeed have a valid commit message, but still not final. Only the c
