Users on mobile can’t make their screens that big, and the average users on desktops don’t expect a webpage to work when they resize their browsers that small. Trying to make both …

I’m guessing the venue you’re talking about is tiny. There are only 1 or 2 major venues in the US that aren’t owned by live nation. Anecdote != data Cyber did an episode that cover…

Someone on Reddit added Nim to the table, which I found interesting: https://uploads.peterme.net/nimsafe.html (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/maj1lz/nim_safety_in_c.…

I agree. From my perspective, microservices shouldn’t be a starting point. They should be something you carve out of a larger application as the need arises.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that there are different axes that you may need to scale against. Microservices are a common way to scale when you’re trying to increase th…

My go to article for Pratt parsing: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2011/03/19/pratt-parsers-e...

Adding to this, I see two other elements that make this tough to replicate in Kotlin: 1. Type erasure 2. Using sealed classes requires instantiation, while the Rust version is zero…

Is there anything you would recommend instead? Or any resources you have on hand to get more information?

This is called a VLQ, btw. Variable Length Qunatity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity

The dynamo white paper, for one. Also: https://github.com/amzn

Fails for Amazon URLs, too (And no, I didn't include a referral link in there.)

If your entire code base is in Kotlin, then nullability works exactly like Options. The difference is sugar. And the Kotlin compiler can handle null checks as well as the Scala com…

That's not the point. The point is that any safety you think you have by using an Option is a little bit hand-wavy. That's not _bad_, but the argument being made by the OP was that…

I don't see a huge difference between Scala's Options and Kotlin's null safety. In Scala, you can still do this: val x: Option[Int] = null

I like Scala. I've written a lot of Scala. But choosing a language is a team decision. And Scala draws the same kind of ire as C++. It's to the point that I have seen seasoned engi…

I'm a huge fan of Kotlin. I think the author just doesn't understand the niche it hits. My team has a significant investment in the JVM. I despise working in Java because of how he…

This isn't a full solution, but perhaps inter-tab communication would work? Use whichever tab is focused as the master, then other tabs send messages to the primary as they need wo…

That's not at all the case. Templates can return values. So really, you could think of the templates as syntactic sugar around the existing functions you've got right now. For exam…

I came here to say the same thing as the GP. So while I am not the poster you responded to, I'll pitch in my opinion. I've written a number of Nim libs at this point. Rosencrantz i…

I spent a moment seriously considering whether I had time to submit a pull request adding a Nim layer: http://nim-lang.org/manual.html#foreign-function-interface

Hmm. This feels a bit pedantic to me. The `is_null` check looks relegated to the FFI: https://github.com/CausalityLtd/ponyc/blob/975d9f6c60553030e... Obviously, I have never writte…
