I currently pay around that for Commento. I wouldn't pay more at the levels of traffic I get, which is pretty/very low.

Sure. It just took a bit of getting used to, but could be the reason why a lot of casual developers looking at the language have the impression that the documentation is poor.

Some of the libraries need you to click into the docs for specific modules to get the full documentation for them. This confused me when I first set out. eg. Postgres Simple. This is the page you get to at first when you search for it: htt

That would prevent you from using the stdlib. https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/string.rs.html#1215-1230 Using unsafe doesnt necessarily mean you will have undefined behaviour, it just means you have to think re

It is possible to take this too far.. https://imgur.com/a/5NP6FWx But it did keep me entertained for a bit.

I suppose technically I have abandoned it too, but I will never admit to it. I fully intend to pick it up again and finish it so it sits on the shelf and stares at me instead.

As someone who works with a ton of Common Lisp and a bit of Haskell, sure Common Lisp may seem easier to read at a surface level but my god am I a lot more hesitant to make any changes to our code base. Unintended side effects are everywher

I might not be that interested in using it, but now I might be interested in reading a bit of the source.

Yeah, sadly skillsmatter have gone bust so all their content has disappeared. Its a huge shame as there was so much good stuff there. I really hope it will resurface soon..

There is this great talk 'stick to simple Haskell' along those lines, but unfortunately it is hosted here https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/14133-stick-to-simple-h... Unfortunately I can't find it any

My daughter just tried to sit down the other day. Missed the chair and ended up cracking her head on the bookshelf behind. Had to go to hospital to get glued back together.

If this is the Chris Kresser you are referring to - https://chriskresser.com/ - he is a lot more than just an acupuncturist.

V5 of Halogen is the nicest frontend framework I have ever used. It is a bit frustrating that the docs are taking so long to come out so it can be released properly, but in terms of using it the framework is good to go and in my opinion wel

Is there a recommended approach to dealing with the occassional cpu intensive task? Supposing you were running an http server and most responses were very quick - but occassionally a request came along that required calculating pi to the n

I think both are great books, but the book you choose is secondary in importance to the amount of time you spend just bashing your head against it until it starts to make sense.

I started writing this the other day - https://codersteve.dev/post/refactoring-to-monads/ It's just a start, but maybe it could help.

Not just younger devs, I've been a professional coder for 24 years now and I still have imposter syndrome.

Microoptimizations performed by someone else is only really a problem if they sacrifice something else to acheive them. So if it meant that writing Elm code was a horrendous buggy experience in order to achieve that extra 50kb, then sure th

Yeah if there are no other futures spawned, then the await is going to cause the app to just sit there until the future completes. It's got nothing better to do. If there was another future spawned then the await would cause the runtim

I think I've been spoiled by algebraic data types and pattern matching. I really miss them. Non-nullable by default will be a huge win. It does feel like a huge step backwards having to deal with nulls again.
