OOP is fun if we could treat everything to be readily available in memory and retrievable infinitely fast.

Function instances should stay alive for a certain amount of time. But you will pay the cold start price one way or another, so naively using Spring Boot is probably not a good idea. Spring Boot Native might help here, but I haven't tr

We had a small course in university on esoteric programming language. Each of us had to select a language (Brainfuck, Piet and a few others) and play around with it. I chose Piet and had a lot of fun with it, but to be honest, my small exam

Looks interesting. Does anyone have a good example that uses Client Components?

The best thing is that it does not seem to hard to extend KOReader to your liking (e.g. by writing plugins). On the other hand, I've had a hard time understanding the the actual Lua code (most likely because of my lack of experience us

I do often use this feature but sometimes fear I missing out because of some deliberate decisions by the author. Not sure if that worry is really warranted.

Seveneves was really good. Almost feeling the urge to read it again!

Designing Data Intensive Applications is really good, because it gives you an good overview of data systems. I had the feeling I don't have to understand all the details yet I would learn a lot. Are there other books like this?

My own name is actually only used in the very country I live in. Unexpectedly, my daughter's name is apparently also used in Arabic countries, it means something like "Gift from Allah".

Although I had absolute no idea what I was doing when we played around with Agda in university, it was kind of fun constructing a few very basic proofs. It kind of felt like smashing some buttons until it worked. The Emacs integration with

The worst thing is how often developers almost fatalistically accept that testing sucks. I don't blame them though because improving the test infrastructure has little short-term business value or so they say.

I'd love to try all those ergonomic keyboards, but the most ergonomic thing for me still is a Thinkpad-style trackpoint.

Thanks! I was only aware of a Zones proposal which was withdrawn I think.

A few of my colleagues and I had the silly (?) idea that you don't really need logs anymore. Instead of log messages you just attach span events [0]. You then just log the span title and a link to that span in Jaeger; something like [

I think with native Promises (and async/await?) there is currently no way to implement something like Zone.js properly. I've tried to instrument my code manually, but it's really error-prone and verbose. We really need someth

Notes never really worked for me previously, but somehow I got it working with logseq [1] (it doesn't really matter which Roam-like tool you use). I feels like some kind of super power to be able to quickly access all sort of informati

Yeah, that always works, of course, even though you might want to externalize certain dependencies still. In this case I don't want to bundle the code (although I might end up doing that, anyway)

That's correct. However, I've tried to use prune now, not sure if I am using it correctly, but that's why I do: I build my packages regularly (not pruned), then I prune with scope "backend". Apparently the pruned di

by renke1 4y ago
Can Prune be used to build a bundle (as in a zip) for, say AWS Lambda, which includes only the dependencies (and not dev dependencies)? I've played around with pnpm's deploy but it felt a bit lackluster. Especially talking about s

Having navigational keys on the home row is something every software developer should use (but almost no one does). Unlike Vim-style keybindings it just works everywhere. Personally I am using an unused key on my keyboard (layout) as modifi

I am currently using yjs. What would be the equivalent way as described here [0] for yjs to sync docs in Automerge? I don't need any WebSockets or real time stuff. It always seemed so complicated in Automerge compared to yjs. I just wa

Spatial navigation is a feature I really do miss. I don't think any other browser supports this. It made keyboard-based browsing possible without resorting to stuff like hit-a-hint. You could just hit Shift+Arrow Key (which I mapped to

by renke1 4y ago
Turborepo is really good, but there are a few things I like to see implemented: * tasks on the root package (e.g. tsc -b that typechecks all packages) * treat tasks such as lint:eslint, lint:pretter as a single task lint (or maybe lint:*) T

Yes, I think the JS ecosystem (which I am certainly part of) does sometimes ignore established terminology and solutions from other ecosystems. Although I must say that the JS ecosystem really has amazing tooling in certain areas (say prett

When I talk about monorepos in our company, I always try to make the distinction between JS monorepo tooling (say nx, turbo or more low-level pnpm/npm/yarn workspaces) and real (?) monorepo tooling (say Bazel). Whereas the latter

So I am planning to use CRDT sometime in the future. Any thoughts on Automerge vs. yjs? – I am not doing a text editor. I just want to build a solid offline-first web application. Also, is there any way to "squash" the history of

That's reason why I think the push to follow event-driven (reactive) approaches in ecosystems like Java is doomed to fail (okay, that may be a bit harsh) because there is lot of existing blocking code. It will take a long time until al
