you are right, not so useful for Result type, but still, it comes handy for Option types (since None doesn't hold anything).

I skimmed through their docs but couldn't find whether they: * support for abstract apps, not only HTTP/web apps like heroku, let's say I want to deploy a SIP app * support for HTT…

it's so funny how everytime services are down, their status page is like everything is normal here. I understand that there are internal politics around such things but still...

I wish I could use one of those, I had one actually some years ago but my eyes were burning (I have huge fonts compared to average people in my regular 17inch laptop).

Usually you need redis to scale up horizontally, meaning with multiple servers/processes, and still keep consistency in your data. In general redis is a very useful tool that provi…

Serialization/deserialization is such an important part of web development, I have no idea why Rails includes the ancient JBuilder (and very slow since it goes through templating) …

nice! I use that quite often, so it might come handy. Quick question, how did you build that ? Does Google provide any sort of API or did you build a web scraper for that ?

Nom is a fantastic library. I have built a SIP library [1] on top of Nom, no way I would have built that without Nom's help, and even if I did, it would be a heck of a mess and und…

this is really good idea, how comes not many sites/companies/people use it?

This is so depressing, and I am left with just over 60%.I can't imagine how someone would feel with just 10% or even less..

for some reason, from the video, screen doesn't feel the same quality as other e-ink readers like kindle. edit: I mean, kindle videos feel like you are reading a real paper, while …

This should be related, but I haven't tried it (my brother builds it, so I am not affiliated) https://requiresecurity.com/

In my experience none really cares about your side projects during interviews. I have plenty of side projects, given plenty of talks, I list some of those in my resume along with m…

This works by loading a bunch of JSON on page load, and then do search on the client side in that json blob. I think it's fine, but I have looked into something similar to do as a …

I haven't followed on what actually happened, but this is only bad for IRC itself. And if we had IRCv3 + federation etc, maybe it wouldn't matter that much but we are not even clos…

thanks was from mobile and I couldn't see it. Now from desktop I can see it.

I would like to see the keyboard layout but I can't find any photo.

That's a big statement. I am afraid it's not easy to replicate Heroku, let alone build something better. Quite the opposite I would say.

I think it's great that you can declare types optionally, but I think they are allowed for a different reason: documentation and explicitness. I would like Crystal compiler to take…

crystal is much slower on compiles

Crystal is a beautiful language, however compiling times is something that put off most people who try it. How comes and they don't allow you to optionally provide types in your fu…

You are bringing in Rust's amazing type system but that assumes that you understand how the 3rd party system behaves. Otherwise your types will be very loose (i.e. String ? could b…
