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…

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 ca…

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 …

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…

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 eithe…

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 bef…

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 fo…

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 foreig…

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 compara…

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, support…

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 …

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…

Text-based User Interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface

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),…

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 issue…

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 smal…

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 i…

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 sec…

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 depen…

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…

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 …

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/cre…

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 bel…
