Java's verbosity made us all hate type systems in the early 2000s so many of us migrated to dynamic languages such as Python, Ruby in the mid 2000s that allowed us to work fast and loose and get things done. After about 10 years of cod

I've pretty much dumped Twitter for Mastodon. My mental health couldn't keep up with the air of constant outrage on Twitter.

I don't know for certain without digging into the code but they are probably using the WebCryptoAPI and doing everything client-side to encrypt the file. The URL that is shared contains the key for the file. You'll notice that the

I would get a Z-Wave daughter board and use Z-Wave devices for controlling the electronics. Z-wave devices aren't Internet connected so you only have to worry about locking down the Pi. Apparently there's already an open source p

We don't need another federated network. Administrators of those nodes are putting themselves into danger. What we need to develop is a purely decentralized p2p network that is resistant to censorship and eavesdropping.

Keep in mind that Erlang processes != System processes. Erlang processes are preemptively scheduled microthreads that are scheduled by the Erlang VM.

No, usually there's an accept process spawning working processes and passing the connection off to it. Erlang can have two versions of a module present in memory at a time. At the moment of a code upgrade, the processes working with e

The comments here describe doom and gloom of the web dying. I doubt the web is going anywhere. The future is going to hyperlink driven link data services that can power both native and web clients. I have started to architect such a solutio

This is a fantasy of mine as well. A generic opensource PaaS would be awesome. Now if I just had the ambition... It is quite an undertaking.

this isn't any better than using a live server for testing. Build a good client library for your applications to use, mock the client library and don't worry about tests failing because of availability problems.

Using generators in Python will get similar laziness in Python: from itertools import imap map(f, imap(g, imap(h, someList))) I think Python 3's map built-in is a generator so you no longer have to use the itertools module. Unf

If you really want power, use NumPy: from numpy import arange def squares_numpy(n): a = arange(n) return a * a $ python -m timeit -s "from squares import squares_append" "squares_append(1000)" 10000 loops

Yeah, because of cowboy and Erlang's design it is going to out perform a single process evented server hands-down. 1. The evented servers are bound to one CPU, Erlang will use all CPUs 2. any bit of blocking code will stall the other

As far as I know, the one process per dyno is not a restriction that Heroku puts on the application, it is an architectural decision of the application. Spawn up worker pool if you want > 1 req at a time.

"OTP in Action" is an excellent book for learning OTP. The following reading will take you a long way with Erlang: Learn you some Erlang http://learnyousomeerlang.com/ OTP In Action http://www.amazon.com/Erlang-OTP-Action-Martin-Logan/

nice project. I usually avoid this by making my APIs accept a datetime objects and make the client code create the datetime object. Pure functions make tests simple.

The correct solution is to abstract away the database from the developer. An ORM forces a square peg into a round hole.
