Designing Data-Intensive Applications?

Sony A7III. It has been great. The camera market has really had to keep up with smart phones so there are a lot of good options. Depending on budget, I would look at the Fuji mirro…

Scribophile is specifically for fiction and peer review.

But in the markets, it is not about the technical definition of Bitcoin, it is about how the average market participant interprets what Bitcoin is... Being technically novel does n…

Talk about Fomo :|

Seconded!

Depends on what you define as SaaS... Looks like a lot of "websites" in the thread below, so I'd throw Pieter Levels in there: https://levels.io/

I've been doing this a lot lately as well. It's just really easy to have a directory of compose scripts in your home dir, and setup a simple bash alias/func to stand up a quick dat…

I'm really not following the logic here. Are they pointing at the jump in D vote share, and then pointing at the influx of Milwaukees ballots? Milwaukee is excessively blue (86% to…

Seems like a lot of people screaming about this sort of thing are the same people that support Citizens United. I don't see how they're much different. Free speech is free speech, …

That is exactly the problem, though, isn't it? Unaccountable third parties are literally currently controlling the truth, via disinformation. An alarming number of people are convi…

I think in that case, people need to pony up something of value to contribute and participate in such an environment. There are a few cases where I think this has succeed, in commu…

This is exactly it. People in this thread are saying "I don't understand why it's so crazy to say 'I'm not taking sides'"... Well because it clearly communicates that you still thi…

I'm not sure why they separated them. Spring is Spring imo. There's a lot of tooling that is very quickly accessible and "just works". We have 15 microservices and three or four UI…

AlpineJS? A bit polarizing, but definitely lightweight...

As of 2017, pretty sure Redis is a large part of it: https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc...

Looks like you can even throw it on some reveal.js slides? Unless he did the slides himself. https://romelperez.com/talks/javascript-animations Pretty neat.

Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but circadian rhythm is "a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours." I believe you meant REM cy…

Yeah, views can definitely fit certain use cases. I've just never encountered cases where I eventually don't need to /do something else/ in between those two layers. Granted I'm do…

That is not always a great idea. There is a reason APIs exist, and backend service layers exist on top of databases. It is a larger abstraction of the interface design pattern. It …

I also have a background in statistics, but landed a job as mostly a software engineer (though technically my title is Data Scientist... buzz words!). I've been building basically …

I've found Hibernate within Spring has been fairly easy to use and adapt. Pretty easy to just add @Query( ) to a method if you really need to drop into your own SQL. It also genera…
