I think we're at the point where the people who are going to throw trash are going to throw trash, and I don't believe something like the ocean cleanup will increase how much trash people throw into nature. You can make the same a

I don't understand why people (Greenpeace) are so against The Ocean Cleanup - complaining that we need to fix the problem at the root instead of cleaning up the mess afterwards. Why can't we do both?

Kicking and screaming, I finally succumbed to TypeScript on the server. I used to do everything with Phoenix or Rails, but nowadays its hard to fight the full-stack type safety (even if its mostly an illusion) of something like Remix/H

Storing the data directly inside the application still means you need to store it somewhere, likely a SQL database (such as PostgreSQL). These databases are insanely well engineered and very very fast, but compared to a key value store such

As someone who upgraded from an Intel Mac to an M1 mac, the memory is a non-issue. Three years ago I would have laughed if you said I would be happy with "only" 8GB, but now I am.

React is * old * (in the frontend world), stable and very very well known. It is a solid, responsible choice to build your framework on top of React in 2022. You can upgrade a 7 year old React app with very little fuss. Unfortunately, you c

I found this[1] on the documentation. But in general staging environments, continuous integration and continuous delivery are not built into frameworks (Rails, Phoenix, etc). [1] - https://redwoodjs.com/docs/deployment&

Alright, that is a very good point. If the possibility of other nodes interacting with your service is high (ie “you’re gonna need an API eventually”), this might well be the best option.

Congrats! I've been keeping up with Redwood since the original announcement, and the progress they've made has been incredible. The generators and command line utilities are top notch (compared to Rails, thats a high bar to clear)

Fly is compelling enough to use without all the global deployment options they offer[1] but it's assuring to know if you ever do need to deploy globally, they can support that better than most. [1] - https://github.com/

Fantastic. I did not expect to enjoy using the custom widgets or "Kinos" this much.

by louissm_it 5y ago
You nailed it. I work with Ruby, TypeScript (React, Node) and Elixir. While Elixir has more than enough uses and I love it dearly, nothing comes close to the productivity and expressiveness of Ruby (+ Rails). I have very high hopes for JS&#

I’m genuinely curious, how would that solve the problem? The real world event - say, delivery a purchased good - would still have to be flagged by both parties as “delivered” before the smart contract can execute. If you only allow the rece

Fair enough :) Growing up there you never consider it like that.

Cool. I've only been to London once, but I distinctly remember being disturbed by how dead everything was. I'm not sure how accurate the stat, but I recall Table Mountain having more floral species than the entire UK.

The 20% is (according to the IPO atleast) worth 20 billion dollars, not 20% of 20 billion dollars.

While advice like this might have been alright if it was in a self-help book where the OP was looking for ways to approach the situation, it is completely uncalled for and inappropriate in this situation.

Upgraded M1. No issues, super snappy, looks great.

I've always found that when people say they dislike SPAs they actually mean they dislike APIs and the whole circus of how to handle building, consuming, validating, error handling, network errors, etc. Not affiliated, but Inertiajs[1]

I have high hopes that Rails 7 will be much saner. Importmaps are such a Railsy solution, and if you need anything more jsbundling-rails will provide easy starters for ESbuild, Rollup and Webpack.
21.
by louissm_it 5y ago
Yes 100% - I’m actually using Vite Ruby in a project as I really wanted to use Inertia + React and that was by far the easiest way to get everything up and running. I’d go so far as to say I wish -j vite was an option in js-bundling :)

by louissm_it 5y ago
I think it’s a fantastic default. I’d argue most server rendered applications can get away with it. And if you ever need ESBuild you can install the js-bundling gem or pass “-j esbuild” for new Rails 7 apps.

1. It does a few things and does them really well (not taking on the complexity of ie Webpack) 2. It’s written in Go

by louissm_it 5y ago
ESbuild is getting fantastic traction. It’s the default in Phoenix from 1.6 and comes as a default option in the current alpha of Rails 7, which you can get with a simple rails new your_app -j esbuild The only sort of issue I’ve had with it

I’m sorry but no. The future costs of nuclear are comparatively irrelevant if you consider the immediate doom our climate and thousands and thousands of species are facing because of burning fossil. If a 100 nuclear disasters happen in the

Awesome. I’m noticing a ton of “alternative” front end development tools these days: Hotwire, Stimulus Reflex, LiveView, Livewire, etc. However I don’t think javascript is the fundamental blocker. When people say they dislike building SPAs,

Probably yeah :) The builds fail at the "npm audit" command, so I incorrectly made the link.

Weird, it's breaking Vercel builds too.

Multiple points of entry to a SQL database is the root of all evil if I’ve ever seen it.

LiveView has built in re-connection logic! I think he means if theres no internet connection theres nothing to re-connect too.
