Also, unfamiliar with PHP, but a few years ago I somehow ended up maintaining/managing one or two reasonably trafficked Wordpress sites that some (untechnical) friends put together, so every now again I get to learn how…
Regarding portability, I recently came across this project: https://github.com/spawnfest/bakeware I haven’t gotten around to actually trying it myself, but it advertises that it can compile Elixir projects into a single…
My favorite “console wars” story that I came across a while back, and is relevant to pricing advantage, is when Sony more-or-less immediately killed the Sega Saturn before it’s US release. Right after Sega’s E3…
I hate to sound elitist or whatever, but I’m just tired of seeing a blog title something about writing a scalable or “enterprise” web app and the content almost always being “write modular code, write comprehensive…
This reminded me of a question I’ve had, which is only tangentially related, but I’m hoping I’ll be able to get pointed in the right direction or told that the idea is stupid either is fine. Login/Auth is one of the few…
I’m still runnin a 2012 (non retina) without any issues, and I plan on keeping it until it literally won’t boot. What’s funny is I was initially annoyed as I got it a few weeks before they announced they were releasing…
I've only had 2 complaints with gen_statem, the docs were initially some of the most confusing/unclear and the state_functions callback mode (which I think partially is to blame for my first complaint as I was expecting…
Definitely agree, though I respect the effort/desire to learn Erlang first given the fact the first time I saw Erlang code I was so confused/put off by it, the syntax was so foreign (not c-like, not lispy), variable…
Stream would technically better, however given the discussion is about Map/Reduce, the only thing Stream has in common with Map/Reduce is it's lazy. If you wanted something comparable (mapping is done in parallel,…
Then you’ll probably also be interested in IWantHue[1], one of my favorite tools when I need to generate a color palette. [1] https://medialab.github.io/iwanthue/
I’ve been using Boostnote[1] for several months and I really enjoy it, and it sounds exactly what you’re looking for. It has just two kinds of notes, markdown and snippets, supports syncing with Dropbox/google…
Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt
> type out code This is, in my opinion, probably the most important step that some may skip when learning out of a book. Sure, if you’re already familiar with the language and are using the book to learn concepts, feel…
The initial $11k premium threw me off at first, but if you click the (not immediately obvious) “Early Access” button you can get the full EAP pricing chart, or here’s a direct link:…
This may just be my bias against NoSQL (I’ll qualify this with I don’t believe it should never be used, but 90% of use cases psql/MySQL/etc is likely the better choice these days), but when it comes to choosing a DB…
The 2-4GB RAM isn’t a hard requirement in my experience. I initially had the whole Docker compose stack running on a single $5 DigitalOcean droplet, and didn’t experience any issues for personal usage. Since they also…
Would you be able to give an example or two where you would reach for go vs elixir and vice-versa? I’ve tinkered with Go, and while it was fairly enjoyable to work with on the small scale, but the lack of generics and…
That’s more-or-less how I feel about Python, it’s a solid language, first one I learned and only one used outside some C++ for school, for several years. But, after branching off into other languages, I’m just really…
The app I use to do that is literally called AppCleaner, been using it for years it’s one of the first things I install. For example, the other day I moved Word to the trash, 5 seconds later I get the AppCleaner pop up…
Yeah, I’m aware you can pin versions in a requirements.txt, but does that also pin those packages dependencies? For example, if I had two pinned packages (A, B) and they both depend on package C, what happens if A…
Python was my first programming language, and though I don’t personally reach for it anymore (at least very rarely), it’s package management is the one large reason I don’t want to use it. All the other complaints I see…
I also have a few domains on Google, but I’m actually not a huge fan it. Aside from it being slightly more expensive, outside of the domain search UI, I find the UI for managing a domain clunky, and confusing. I’d…
I’ve definitely worked with more APIs that I dread working with, but off the top of my head one of the most pleasant I’ve used has been Rollbar. At my workplace we own/maintain/create a lot of custom small apps for…
I can give you something close to that. In a thread from 1995[1] some users were skeptical and not buying the C++ hype: > A typical programmer uses FORTRAN, COBOL, C or if they believe the hype, C++. Typical programmers…
I cannot stand Apache, not the foundation, the web server. We are stuck with it at work, and I groan when I have to venture into an httpd.conf. XML is so clunky and verbose, I have no idea why it caught on as the…
