Asking people to run `pip install` on anything but `poetry` is an anti-pattern to me. Ruby has had bundler for over a decade and this is the pattern that is working for them as wel…

Gobuffalo is close but it's been a while since I've looked at it. What you said is has been my experience too. Here I go about the batteries included vs micro thing. People pick Fl…

Gamedev is full of interesting problems. The industry scares me because of a few friends. Fun to hack on, on the side and I’m jealous of the story and mystery this team got to chew…

Sun was ahead of its time in many ways. I used a Sunblade and never thought of it again until this article and its relation. Interesting. I've thought a lot about zones and Docker.…

AMD motherboards can do TB3. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/#Specification Supports an add-in card (connector). It's coming more generally since Intel dropped the lice…

I wonder if Akka will be a part of scala native? It's sort of considered stdlib? When our team spiked on Akka, we liked it and got our near-reality proof of concept to work. It'd b…

I probably wasn't being clear about STDOUT on the ruby version. I just didn't do it in this particular project for the ruby version. I just tested that the flags didn't throw anyth…

I think of Rake/Rails as dev tools that are executables. In the post, I mentioned passenger because that was using Rubygems as a distribution mechanism and then they stopped doing …

Yeah, that's what I meant. :)

I'd also just like to call positive attention to the bravery and openness Mike has shown by publishing his revenue/business numbers (which maybe some would hold as precious private…

Anything that increases feedback and visualization is great. It's not about the storage of the code it's about the communication paths between the programmer and the computer and m…

I don't think it does. I'm trying to find flags or anything to make it know what gb is. In the gopath, things just work. In a gb project it just says "no buildable files" because i…

I've been using neopixels to great success in combination with particle.io chips. They have cloud events and you can send whatever data to them. I'm sending a payload like `{ "colo…

Just call it piano tab. It's fine for chords and pop songs. There's no way it's going to work for complicated music. I love the project though. It's a fantastic job, I hate to be n…

About "ok". You're right. I probably used a loaded word without context. I too use whatever default package repo, followed by "extras" or whatever is available. You described a san…

Good point. I guess you could still wget the script though. It's maybe like ./configure over http? I guess even if you could do it, it's probably not culture. A Dockerfile would pr…

Funny tumblr but makes me care-confused. I understand that curl pipe sh could have security problems but I also don't see it as that much different than the "normal" and "ok" way o…

I agree, I think accessibility made it popular. Security and ease of use are usually opposing forces. The article has some interesting discussion points. I don't understand the abs…

Good tutorial. Setting up the whole stack can be tricky. If you wouldn't mind doing a `bundle exec gem list guard vcr rspec rails` etc to show the major gem versions that were used…

Great list. I wish this list and ones like it had a name other than "modern java" to distinguish tools/projects/people/interest/books. Because it's hard to name something that's a …

Ant's one of those "seldom skills". You set it up in the beginning and then tweak a little bit. Yes it works, it's fine. I just find it funny that it hasn't changed or evolved in a…

Yeah it's weird he still has a twitter account but I completely agree with him. Especially when I try to engage in a meaningful conversation. It's like excusing yourself from a lou…

Nice insight. I liked that.

We can disagree. What I was trying to say with #3 is that it's just an index. You use the index by using Google. If you don't like the index, don't use Google. But they aren't stea…
