I agree that this would work, and be ideal. I think it only scales to a certain size organization though. At my company, I'd guess we have over a thousand developers across hundreds of teams, and more supporting staff. There's no

The JS examples don't seem too demonstrative to me. Especially for someone not very familiar with RxJS. Any time you're wrapping something with `from` or `of`, I raise an eyebrow export function pipeline(in$: Observable<Pro

Thank you. I guess I was imagining that the flags lived in your source code repo, and required a commit and push to update, thus triggering some CD build and redeploying your app anyways.

This is my question. If your flags are in your repo, what is functionally the difference from just having them be variables in your code somewhere. "Feature Flags that live inside your code" - That's just variables, no?

I interpreted the parent comment in the inverse. A poor economy means people will stay in unhappy situations longer than otherwise.

I've always been unsure where this stuff fits in. Do you make it before your system is built, when its unclear how where all the cards will fall? Or after your system is made and in production and all the warts of reality are present a

This is the second comment I've seen in this thread comparing "Gitflow" to what was typical in SVN. Having been there when SVN was in vogue, I can assure you that our process looked nothing like Gitflow. SVN encourages what w

My experience was that older VCS's (SVN in my case) leaned in heavily to the trunk based paradigm. I don't know what you're talking about with prod branches. The default branch in SVN was called - trunk.

This one blog post resulted in so much pain for so many. I'm glad it has been addended, but the damage was done. For the record, I don't think it's the authors fault.

doesn't is suffice to say that functions meet all the prerequisites of a vector space? f + g = g + f f + (g + h) = (f + g) + h f + -f = 0 (a * b) * f = a * b f a (f + g) = a f + a g (a + b) * f = a f + b f

I read this book too and it really drove things home. I remember after feeling a little bit unsure about the relevance of orthogonal systems, feeling the thrill of beginning to see and anticipate where the argument was going. It felt like I

If they are limited to 1, then they are not appropriate to use as a deployment mechanism. Do you only have one change being worked at a time? On my team, there's typically at least have a dozen different stories being worked in paralle

Bias is how all electric components work. All they know about is the difference in voltage between their electrodes, not any absolute voltage w.r.t the rest of the circuit.

Yes yes yes. You're not going to get much appreciation of this from newer devs. They've only known one thing. I shudder at all the human-hours spent on duplicative tasks related to the artificial frontend/backend separation.

That makes sense. Thank you. Honest question - What would you do to justify doing this over using cookie based sessions? Like, are there back of the napkin calculations you could do to find when one approach becomes comparable in performanc

Can you explain what this looks like? So each application that authenticates its requests using the jwt subscribes to a message queue and replicates the data in some database local to it? Then it checks that database each time a new request

by capn_duck 4y ago
It's not as if you're expected to use ORMs to do ad hoc querying of a database. Just fire up a db connection and start writing sql. If you work on a large application with lots of transactional processing, it makes sense. I'v

Are you confusing software dependencies for the semantics of a running program?

You're talking about the role that transistors play as switches in a digital logic circuit. The video is about the physical operation of, in particular, bipolar junction transistors, which are more commonly used as amplifiers.

I'd strongly recommend it! I think it's worth the price of admission for the first few chapters alone, although I admit that at a certain point, I was struggling to keep up with all of the mathematical arguments as I am not a trai

Wow, I feel like this article was written for me. I too just recently stumbled upon the significance of Planck's work while reading David Bohm's "Quantum Theory". It was such a pleasing thing and wasn't too difficul

I've honestly never understood this argument. There's some changes that are intractable. Just being in a separate codebase doesn't mean you don't need to deal with it. Team A just modified their service to require a new

This is like a meme in software development reposts and I hate it because it just says "things can go wrong with component X of your system". It doesn't say when, it doesn't say what the threshold is. There's no equ

I strongly disagree that Lisp syntax is straightforward. Racket/Scheme is decent, but Common Lisp and other Lisp-2's can be incredibly confusing. Having different value and function namespaces for symbols is complicated enough, bu

Barbers definitely need to keep current and I know for a fact attend meetups and workshops or whatever you want to call them to learn new and fashionable techniques. Seems like a weird comparison to make in an article that impresses humble
