Asking people to run `pip install` on anything but `poetry` is an anti-pattern to me. Ruby has had bundler for over a decade and this is the pattern that is working for them as well as npm/yarn. Npm comes with node, Cargo comes with

Gobuffalo is close but it's been a while since I've looked at it. What you said is has been my experience too. Here I go about the batteries included vs micro thing. People pick Flask because it looks approachable but then DIY f

Gamedev is full of interesting problems. The industry scares me because of a few friends. Fun to hack on, on the side and I’m jealous of the story and mystery this team got to chew on for a while. I know it’s hard but still jealous of the

Sun was ahead of its time in many ways. I used a Sunblade and never thought of it again until this article and its relation. Interesting. I've thought a lot about zones and Docker. I remember booting a zone for the first time on Sol

AMD motherboards can do TB3. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/#Specification Supports an add-in card (connector). It's coming more generally since Intel dropped the licensing fees for TB. Bu

I wonder if Akka will be a part of scala native? It's sort of considered stdlib? When our team spiked on Akka, we liked it and got our near-reality proof of concept to work. It'd be awesome to have such a high level library lik

I probably wasn't being clear about STDOUT on the ruby version. I just didn't do it in this particular project for the ruby version. I just tested that the flags didn't throw anything. I had tests on other production tools

I think of Rake/Rails as dev tools that are executables. In the post, I mentioned passenger because that was using Rubygems as a distribution mechanism and then they stopped doing that. I don't know if it's a hard / fa

Yeah, that's what I meant. :)

I'd also just like to call positive attention to the bravery and openness Mike has shown by publishing his revenue/business numbers (which maybe some would hold as precious private information). He's been very open in hopes

Anything that increases feedback and visualization is great. It's not about the storage of the code it's about the communication paths between the programmer and the computer and making that higher bandwidth and quick turn-around

I don't think it does. I'm trying to find flags or anything to make it know what gb is. In the gopath, things just work. In a gb project it just says "no buildable files" because it doesn't know to do `gb build`.

I've been using neopixels to great success in combination with particle.io chips. They have cloud events and you can send whatever data to them. I'm sending a payload like `{ "color":"blue" }` and then all lis

Just call it piano tab. It's fine for chords and pop songs. There's no way it's going to work for complicated music. I love the project though. It's a fantastic job, I hate to be negative. You did a ton of thinking

About "ok". You're right. I probably used a loaded word without context. I too use whatever default package repo, followed by "extras" or whatever is available. You described a sane and nice process. I guess my

Good point. I guess you could still wget the script though. It's maybe like ./configure over http? I guess even if you could do it, it's probably not culture. A Dockerfile would probably just curl sh the thing and not wge

Funny tumblr but makes me care-confused. I understand that curl pipe sh could have security problems but I also don't see it as that much different than the "normal" and "ok" way of doing things. I would consider s

I agree, I think accessibility made it popular. Security and ease of use are usually opposing forces. The article has some interesting discussion points. I don't understand the absolute fear of | bash installers. It's open sour

Good tutorial. Setting up the whole stack can be tricky. If you wouldn't mind doing a `bundle exec gem list guard vcr rspec rails` etc to show the major gem versions that were used in the post. When docs like this go stale, it can b

Great list. I wish this list and ones like it had a name other than "modern java" to distinguish tools/projects/people/interest/books. Because it's hard to name something that's a synonym for "

Ant's one of those "seldom skills". You set it up in the beginning and then tweak a little bit. Yes it works, it's fine. I just find it funny that it hasn't changed or evolved in a long time. I just keep taking

Yeah it's weird he still has a twitter account but I completely agree with him. Especially when I try to engage in a meaningful conversation. It's like excusing yourself from a loud party to talk to someone about something deep

We can disagree. What I was trying to say with #3 is that it's just an index. You use the index by using Google. If you don't like the index, don't use Google. But they aren't stealing the world's data so owners

I didn't like this bit: "The fact that my degree says Music and not "Computer Science" from Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, or CMU probably keeps me out of computer vision, AI research, and compiler design, however, just as muc

I think this is fantastic. @sunkarapk, great job. That it's written in Go makes using it so much easier. Wonderful.
