co-dreamer here, do you have a recommendation for a 64G 13"?

I founded the first web based background screening company in 1996 and I am back in the industry today, here is what I would do: tldr; if it is sealed, do not worry about it. If no…

I have no experience with GraphQL, but if I were doing a pet project today I'd spin up https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe and check it out

I'm evaluating svelte and have yet to do much, however handling dynamic components is a key requirement, and appears to be supported like so: import RedThing from './RedThing.svelt…

I've been looking for a something to do virtual cards for single-use payments and/or assign a virtual card to a vendor, preferably with webhook style notifications posting back to …

PostreSQL has great tooling, maybe not the GUI-UX experience you are familiar with MSSQL on Windows. psql is great for inspecting schema and running ad-hoc queuries. SQL scripts ca…

$80k is what we paid for a PM, not a senior engineers. We pay our seniors $120-$250 depending on how their domain experience maps to ours, and if you want to live and work in the S…

Our market (Sacramento, CA) is so hungry for senior engineers (for web or mobile), I'd wager max 2 weeks to be back in the saddle. But I doubt HPE has much talent for web-stacks, l…

We do this and have great success with a small SMS/Email application doing ~2mil jobs a day (mostly over a 6hour peak period). Except, we use postresql's LISTEN/NOTIFY which amazin…

gRPC-gateway looks very attractive. Thank you for posting this for the rest of us to learn from, a brilliant effort for sure.

We are sharing your sentiment that a lot of our user-facing errors could be limited by moving away from weak typing (current stack is Ruby). In hindsight, did Go and protobuf prove…

I'm considering moving from a macbook pro to the blade and adding the core to get a beefed up desktop experience with the ability to unplug and take work anywhere it needs to go. I…

move the decimal and use an int (cents in US). It still blows me away that javascript has become so popular on the server without 64bit int types.

Right, so the business model is not new, but winning with it would be.

I understand the need for businesses to make money, but I do not understand how a business can understand OSS and implement the OSS core-only model. If your product has demand, at …

I had almost forgotten that I had written (and sold) a fairly popular chat system for BBS's back in the day. I google'd "Multi-User Teleconference" and to my surprise it popped up …

Wow, already home brewed too! (OSX users can upgrade with `brew update && brew upgrade elixir` and it just magically works -- because awesome people have made it so) What a great w…

I have been watching Elixir/Phoenix for over a year with a lot of interest, one thing that I really appreciate is how dedicated they are to their CHANGELOG files. https://github.co…

Yeah, so the details of such is what I have not seen any examples of. I do plan to figure it out soon and then hopefully share it to benefit others. From what I understand thus far…

I hear about the distributed properties of the vm often, but every example seems naive in that the work is passed to a named node, where in practice it seems the need would be to l…

Ditto except I've recently begun opening a new tab and googling the product (once found) to price compare. I prefer amazon for ease of use (prime, trust & not having to key my pers…

I've made something very similar for a current project and haven't gotten around to extracting it as a separate pkg yet, but it is much more loose on the coercion, e.g. when callin…

Thank you making a go driver, I've played with it a bit and the first thing that jumped out at me is the documents passed to and from the database use a special "gorethink" tag ins…

you can do the same with psql, rails bin commands, php, or anything else that can talk to the db

That seems correct, I saw the issue bump on github, you guys seem like the nicest and brightest engineers around and really hope you guys keep that vibe.
