Very cool project and would be super useful with something like GraphQL, which tends to produce big nested JSON objects. Thanks for sharing it! One improvement in my eyes would be to remove the "connector" boxes, like `members (2)

The "two big mobile platforms" were not established by an irreversible act of God. Before the current time of two platforms, there was a time of (mostly-)one platform i.e. the Web, and that platform had quite a few nice features.

Isn't 4k+1/4k-1 rule trivial though? If we take any number K=N*4 divisible by 4 and >2, that'd be an even number by definition. The two closest odd numbers on either side would be (K-3), (K-1), (K+1), (K+3). As it happens

Ever tried playing something like (multiplayer) Quake with an Apple trackpad? I used to win online matches with the trackpoint. Once you get use to it, the difference in speed and precision is quite significant.

Totally understandable. I'm a trackpoint junkie, but I also could not get to using it on an HP laptop from work. It felt completely gimped (and yes, having just 2 buttons was probably a part of it).

Word! PWAs are awesome (for a lot of usecases), and I don't quite get how they are not becoming a center pillar of mobile development.

Install atop and configure it to sample every second. I can't count the number of times this has helped solve a mysterious behavior. Atop is king.

Sorry, my statement indeed got confusing. I'm using LiveView for online interactions. I'm using PouchDB + JS for data synchronization and enabling offline work. You are right that LiveView itself does need to be online, since it&#

I'm happily using Phoenix+LiveView for a website that works as a PWA. This also includes offline mode with sync-when-internet-is-available functionality (thanks PouchDB!). This covers online/offline/mobile usecases, with no e

Same here. The first time I hear that containers are hard-linked with Kubernetes in anyone's mind. Docker standalone was used for a long time before Kuberbetes was a thing. AWS, Azure and Google have had options to run containers long

Same here. Fixed by deleting the traefik pods. The underlying Deployment regenerated them and a new cert was obtained.

Please stop suggesting that SQL Injections are a sanitization problem. They are a problem of escaping in the application constructing the query, not a problem with whatever the user has typed in. The log4j vulnerability shares some common t

Awesome! I hope this will put some pressure on Apple to add support for critical PWA features (e.g. push notifications) to iOS.
