For me, an emphasis on Go indicates that I won't have problems with cross compilation and that I'll have a static binary to run. I'm more inclined to give a tool a try when I don't…

Thanks for the tip, does FluentMigrator require me to duplicate the table structure in it's DSL or does it have a way to pick up EF Core tables & detect changes? Re encryption, I w…

Using it for two days now on OSX for a client so I don't have much experience with it. First impressions are ok, the documentation could be better and it's not very googleable as y…

General answer since this is a general question. DB engine: Postgres, something more exotic (dgraph, cassandra etc) depending on use case. API layer: Microservices with grpc, write…

As a foreigner in Germany, I'd add to that list bureaucracy & the German language, a duet that does little to bolster the willingness of non-native speakers founding companies here…

react + grpc with services in go & python

Simplest solution I've found is to run the devserver in a gulp task instead of using any of the pipeline/compressor projects.

I'm all for less sprawl but artificial limits like the ones you're describe would IMO only needlessly accelerate gentrification. For instance, it's very difficult to get a spot at …

Very nice but very US centric.

capital controls.

It's understandable that developers aren't abandoning their current projects, but starting new ones suddenly carries the risk of developing for a platform that you have doubts that…

Alright, these were approximately the fields that were Postgre-fied. CREATE TABLE event ( "references" text[], (was 2 tables, references and reference_on_event) "entities" text[], …

Anecdotal, I migrated a sluggish multi table SQL Server setup to a single table PostgreSQL by replacing the previous EAV setup with hstore and m2m "article-tag" tables with array f…

I was hoping some of meteor's users could answer a few questions about it. Can meteor use Postgres instead of MongoDB? Could meteor do sync with the database through a server-side …

I'm pretty sure that at Jane Street you get to solve engaging problems and get paid 250K+. OCaml or not, they're not going to have problems with hiring.

I seriously doubt OCaml's benefits over Python are so great that they overweigh not being able to hire someone proficient in it.

But people need to learn things like OO and memory anyway, why not do it with a language that teaches you both? It's not like the introduction to programming in Java would have fin…

I went through a similar switch from MSSQL to postgres. We moved 7 applications of various sizes over and the biggest hurdle was office politics. The migration never took more than…

Self hosted sentry, very pleased with it.

Despite the overall ecosystem being rather small, the standard library and adjoining experimental packages are excellent. I wouldn't be surprised if go 1.2's stdlib would cover mos…

I'd purposely avoid drawing any lessons from Iceland. We have the world's smallest independent currency and devaluation cut our purchasing power in half.

It could be, fast forward ten years and the majority of the smartest minds in the industry will have no experience with your flagship product.

I'd want to add that working in a windows for dev, linux for deploy environment will eventually make you constrain yourself to using libraries which work on both platforms.

I've found that CoffeeScript is great at standardizing the various styles of coding JavaScript that exist in an office.

I've mostly worked on the server side of things for the last few years but last year I decided to dip into mobile. I felt disappointed after trying MonoDevelop as I found a lot of …
