Bit weirded out by the idea that it installs via a batch file that the Readme dedicates a chapter on how Windows will flag it as a Trojan. As well as the fact that it mentions it i…

I chose to make this as an extension so I could quickly inject data for unit tests and UI previews. I've thought to pulling out the code and making it a library as well, but Faker …

Hello all, I'd like to present my latest project Mockingbird. It is a VSCode extension for generating fake/dummy data inside your editor. I've put a lot of power in this compared t…

I wonder if something like Nunjucks but with CommonMark could work great for the document web.

As an American living in Turkey to produce software systems for the Education industry. It is in my honest opinion this is mostly all false. Evolution was not removed (if I'm corre…

Reliability of the language and tool sets is a big one. Availability of coders in the language is another, there's an over abundance of C++/Java coders looking for work, but findin…

Gorilla Mux isn't bad either and is pretty tried and tested. Also Go is one of the few (if not only?) languages with HTTP/2 built in to the standard library. Not to mention the gRP…

I don't use an ORM currently, just plain 'ol SQL queries. And in actuality I prefer it SOO much more. Like originally I was using Hibernate with the Java JPA, but I found it just g…

Backend: Java (phasing out), Go (phasing in), Postgres, Redis, all on Ubuntu EC2's. Frontend: JS (TypeScript/ES6), React, ReactNative, SASS, all Webpack'ed (except RN). I think it'…

What about the "I've lost that email account, can I switch it to another to recover my account?" case. Or the "I'm the legal guardian of this person and need the account control sw…

I was actually making an open source sim city clone in JS myself a while ago. Didn't get this far at all, but I was mostly in it to test if I could get async updating from the simu…

I just upgraded myself to a 4K 28" monitor. Mine has 1ms response time. I noticed a slight loss of productivity in the initial stage, but really just because I was getting used to …

Essentially, I was going down this route if anyone's curious.... http://code.flickr.net/2012/12/12/highly-available-real-time...

This may actually solve an issue I was about to tackle, which is high-speed notification delivery. Currently I was going to do a nasty wrestle of PUB/SUB with Lists and blocking ke…

Right, which I figured if there was any viable way to get sender-identification working then that would be solved at the initial point. Like HTTPS requiring a Certificate Authority…

Email is one actually. Notoriously hard to work with from a systems point of view, and based on a protocol that's been minimally updated since it's conception in the early 90's. It…

Right, but I'm thinking the server still needs to be able to say "This person who ever they are is definitely the number you have". Like, I wouldn't check my password hashes with o…

But that sounds like un-necessary round trips. I feel like the point in an API or backend service doing this, is because it knows better and has more computing power. I'd rather ha…

If it's only one year I would keep working. But spend much more time on my own projects to start a business with. If it's indefinite, like basic universal income, I would release m…

Yes, but if (it seems more like when) a collision happens in a situation like this, aren't we essentially saying someone is connected with someone they don't even know? I feel like…

As someone who is going to implement "find-my-friends" in this way, and wants to do it conscientiously, may I ask why only the first 10 bytes of the SHA1? Isn't that just an incomp…

Could you add/did you add killing the annoying "call to action" pop-up dialog? You know, you visit an article and BAM! A fullscreen modal asking to sign-up for their book newslette…

Moving away from Java w/Spring to Golang. Java and especially Spring with it's dependencies just didn't operate fast enough on simple requests as part of a Restful JSON API. Spring…

Have you ever tried Gulp? Honestly I had the same feeling with webpack, I like it for my "professional" day job project that's grown to huge size and webpack can chop through it qu…
