You are also running sidewaysdata.com with DEBUG turned on in production, apparently ;)

Nah, statements like the above are a sign of lack of experience, missing business understanding and/or hubris.

It seems once a year somebody writes a library to do this. It never takes off, because the main difficulty in developing web applications is not “learning JavaScript“. I have 3 questions for the team. Who is the target audience exactly? How

If it’s like my 2019 polo, a long (30sec or so) press on the power button on the infotainment console will reboot it. But yeah, just traded that car in for a Mercedes, and the infotainment is night and day. I basically don’t use CarPlay any

While I agree with you the grandparent was unnecessarily patronizing, they do have a point. “Built-in functions” is the first chapter of the documentation following the introduction, there’s no way to miss it. If you don’t even skim the int

I guess being better than a random third-world country (yes, that’s what median means here) is seen as a great accomplishment? Not sure why you would choose to comment this, it’s like a grown adult bragging about being able to beat up a tod

That is not what I asked though. Every experience is subjective. I’m asking how they envision this being a good business model. Every bootcamp grad who can whip up a database backed web app can build a note-taking application that covers t

Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app. Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing

Bad developers will write bad code no matter the pattern - styled components has never been a source of issues for us. Why would we move to a new “trend”? I think this is unique to the JS ecosystem.

I’d just like to take a moment to compliment the author on repeatedly producing content that is deeply technical yet very entertaining. As someone who has used both Rust and Go in anger, I enjoyed this one and it’s predecessors a lot. A big

Knowing clippy I wouldn’t be surprised if that compiled, but resulted in a warning that you can simplify the double negative.

It abstracts away underlying hardware, leaving you with a convenient set of abstractions for deploying containerized networked services. Sort of an OS for a cluster of distributed machines. Unfortunately this involves lots of YAML. How’d I

What do you mean for no reason? The authors run a consulting shop and give trainings on this library. They are clearly incentivized to break things regularly.

Lovefield is essentially unmaintained. Something something Google projects.

Thanks for the reply, mholt! I would have expected way higher numbers there, but going by that ratio you’re absolutely right. Regardless, thanks for the great work on Caddy, it’s rock solid.

by doteka 5y ago
Caddy is the best. I use it as the static file server and reverse proxy for several side projects running in docker-compose. What I like most about it is how little config you need for reasonable defaults that would require 300 lines of ngi

Nope, sorry. Maintainers are not above criticism just like anyone else, and this post did so in a respectful way. It’s a real problem and e.g. the reason we have stopped trying to upstream any fixes to OSS libraries at work - it’s in no way

Long ago someone taught me this memory trick for tar: imagine an angry German stereotype saying “eXtract Ze Vucking File”, thus -xzvf. No idea what it stands for but it does what I need most of the time.

The scenario you describe gives me nasty flashbacks of fighting with broken Ansible configs. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone who’s just trying to dim the lights.

I don’t think that’s an opinion held by someone who actually worked with/had to manage the combination of “slightly unfriendly + extreme confidence” before. That is how you get Prima Donnas, temper tantrums during technical discussions

You hit the nail on the head I think. A few years into my career I was enamored by learning new programming languages, in particular functional ones. I was fully drinking the koolaid, too - pure functions and immutability would surely make

One thing I admire about the Clojure community is audacious projects like this. While a ton of these seem to run out of steam, they certainly shoot for the stars and tend to come pretty dang close for a while. For those working in Typescrip

There’s political directions and there’s literal fascism. My grandparents gave their lives in the fight against this rotten ideology, and anyone who supports it and gives it credibility can go right to hell in my book.

For anyone missing the required context here: The “Renaissance institute” that sponsored this “research” is a far-right think tank associated with the FvD, which can be charitably described as far right nationalists, or less charitably as a

It’s a low effort article rehashing old and tired arguments. Exactly as one would expect from the title indeed.

Now look at which races are overrepresented in which classes and you will understand systemic racism. Intent of the landlord is irrelevant.

Huh, pretty incredible how Elastic took a classic David vs Goliath scenario and managed to get people rooting for Goliath.

How many distributed stream processing engines is the Apache foundation planning to collect? At this point it seems like there’s more projects that do this (if you squint a bit), than companies with a serious usecase for that type of archit

I’m truly sorry you had this experience. I must say it doesn’t match mine at all: code review was a major thing since my first day working as a dev, up to this day as an eng manager. My engineers are highly encouraged to write blog posts, i
