Yes, but a big binary means 1MB. Nowadays a Helloworld webapp needs more.

Although I loved sports in my youth, I didn't exercise for more than 20 years. I felt miserable, fat, had low energy and started having various health issues. A relationship of 25 years broke apart. 48 was my turning point. I started e

As a European, that was something that I just couldn't get my head around when living in the States. People always needed to be "busy", and if it was just mowing the damn lawn again for no real reason. Almost like they feel g

The truth is that the world generally doesn't give a shit about software quality. Developers are expensive and business models shoddy. You have to be quick, otherwise the competition makes the race. I for my part have given up and go w

What's so horrible about it? It's pretty much on par with Java and C#, but feels lighter, generates native Code and makes it easier to talk to C libs.

APIs plus frontend can be simple too and I find SPAs better from a UX perspective. The real biggie when switching to microservices is that you suddenly have to reinvent all the goodies a relational database gives you for free.

M1s are quite affordable, quality laptops from other suppliers are not much cheaper if at all. And the M1 has no match currently.

The original one was perfect. Colorful, playful, human. The latest one looks clean, technical and impersonal. I hate it.

The bigger question is, why don't authorities prevent such products from hitting the road? It's quite obvious that this thing is nowhere near ready.

And Delphi could do that 20 years ago. I keep blaming Java for the big detour.

There is a guy on yt coding a full Amiga demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-vPpj_x4wo Quite a fascinating blast from the past. The C128 and later the Amiga are the main reasons I became a developer. My parents kept bu

C was a pain in the ass, at least for those like me who only had one disk drive. That's why assembly language was the natural progression from Basic back then.

It really depends on your needs. For an old style desktop application (think file browser, text editor), it's ok. But for anything modern (touch screen support, animations) it just doesn't cut it anymore. You are better off with

Flutter for Web is doing exactly that. For some webapps, this might be a great way to go.

Can you point to any Delphi app on the android playstore that doesn't look and feel like shit? Or a Linux app? I used to be a Delphi fan, but the results I've come across are not exactly convincing. Compare this to Flutter, which

Their pricing strategy always sucked. I mean, 4000 Bucks for a Java IDE? Jetbrains on the other hand did the right thing from the beginning by asking money but keeping the price realistic.

For larger and longer running projects, I prefer sqlc. There is zero magic involved, but it still generates the boilerplate for you. If for some reason you decide you don't like it, you can just pretend it never existed.

The only problem is that pretty much anything I can do has been done a zillion times by others.

Hehe, yes that's true. But in our case it was the safe choice. None of our team members has any real world functional programming experience.

Sounds good. I'll take a look. I'm actually still waiting for the GRISP 2 board, if that ever gets done. The problem is that I think that I need to spend time on Erlang/Exlir full time, otherwise I keep forgetting what I&#x27

It is. I'm working on a distributed IOT project (think 40 raspberries talking to each other). From my superficial understanding, this would be an ideal use case for Erlang. I guess an Erlang environment would naturally lead to a much m

In my opinion, Jetbrains has the better model. After all, what happened to JBuilder? Nobody is using it anymore, Codegear/Embarcadero priced themselves out of the competition. Eclipse was free, Netbeans was free, JDeveloper was free, I

Go has some restrictions, but all in all it's a great little pragmatic language, which solves a lot of practical problems (utf-8 strings, concurrency, garbage collection, cross compilation, single binary deployment, performance, readab

They are, but people are now king of expecting to be able to access their software from anywhere, including their phone or tablet. Hard to do, if you have millions of lines of MFC code. Which opens up opportunities for newcomers.

Just because you can use JSONB, it doesn't mean that it is as easy to work with as it is the case with MongoDB. So if you really need a JSON store, just use Mongo.

Didn't make a difference for me at all. I'm a pilot, did some basic aerobatics, no problem at all. Paragliding did scare me a bit at the beginning, but I got used to it after a while. Standing up on the roof of my house is still g

In our case it's not the easy to reconstruct domain events from CDC - in many cases, multiple events are affecting the same tables.

by zeroc8 5y ago
One thing would be that you then are just syncing database as opposed to sending domain events, aren't you?

I've dabbled in both Erlang and Elixir. However, betting on either of them in our company would be quite risky, with no one here having real experience with a functional language. That's why we chose Go. While not the greatest lan
