I founded the first web based background screening company in 1996 and I am back in the industry today, here is what I would do: tldr; if it is sealed, do not worry about it. If not, be upfront as soon as possible. Call the court clerk in

I have no experience with GraphQL, but if I were doing a pet project today I'd spin up https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe and check it out

I'm evaluating svelte and have yet to do much, however handling dynamic components is a key requirement, and appears to be supported like so: <script> import RedThing from './RedThing.svelte'; import Gr

I've been looking for a something to do virtual cards for single-use payments and/or assign a virtual card to a vendor, preferably with webhook style notifications posting back to our servers with charge activity. Is brex a fit no

PostreSQL has great tooling, maybe not the GUI-UX experience you are familiar with MSSQL on Windows. psql is great for inspecting schema and running ad-hoc queuries. SQL scripts can also be piped through it for cron-sql jobs etc. pg_dump +

$80k is what we paid for a PM, not a senior engineers. We pay our seniors $120-$250 depending on how their domain experience maps to ours, and if you want to live and work in the Sacramento Area I can have you interviewed, vetted and on-bo

Our market (Sacramento, CA) is so hungry for senior engineers (for web or mobile), I'd wager max 2 weeks to be back in the saddle. But I doubt HPE has much talent for web-stacks, likely Microsoft/.Net and SAP experience which I c

We do this and have great success with a small SMS/Email application doing ~2mil jobs a day (mostly over a 6hour peak period). Except, we use postresql's LISTEN/NOTIFY which amazingly is also transaction aware (NOTIFY does no

gRPC-gateway looks very attractive. Thank you for posting this for the rest of us to learn from, a brilliant effort for sure.

We are sharing your sentiment that a lot of our user-facing errors could be limited by moving away from weak typing (current stack is Ruby). In hindsight, did Go and protobuf prove well, we are evaluating Go and possible Elixir as a sweet

I'm considering moving from a macbook pro to the blade and adding the core to get a beefed up desktop experience with the ability to unplug and take work anywhere it needs to go. I'm assuming I would need to stay in windows land

move the decimal and use an int (cents in US). It still blows me away that javascript has become so popular on the server without 64bit int types.

Right, so the business model is not new, but winning with it would be.

I understand the need for businesses to make money, but I do not understand how a business can understand OSS and implement the OSS core-only model. If your product has demand, at some point, an OSS project will arise to displace you. Are

I had almost forgotten that I had written (and sold) a fairly popular chat system for BBS's back in the day. I google'd "Multi-User Teleconference" and to my surprise it popped up on some sites listing old BBS warez. D

Wow, already home brewed too! (OSX users can upgrade with `brew update && brew upgrade elixir` and it just magically works -- because awesome people have made it so) What a great way to ring the new year! Happy New Year everyone!

I have been watching Elixir/Phoenix for over a year with a lot of interest, one thing that I really appreciate is how dedicated they are to their CHANGELOG files. https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob&#x2

Yeah, so the details of such is what I have not seen any examples of. I do plan to figure it out soon and then hopefully share it to benefit others. From what I understand thus far, I'll create a GenServer to connect to redis (so on

I hear about the distributed properties of the vm often, but every example seems naive in that the work is passed to a named node, where in practice it seems the need would be to load balance between nodes available nodes. For example, I ha

Ditto except I've recently begun opening a new tab and googling the product (once found) to price compare. I prefer amazon for ease of use (prime, trust & not having to key my personal info) and security (less footprint giving my c

I've made something very similar for a current project and haven't gotten around to extracting it as a separate pkg yet, but it is much more loose on the coercion, e.g. when calling String() on an int(5) you will get back "5&

Thank you making a go driver, I've played with it a bit and the first thing that jumped out at me is the documents passed to and from the database use a special "gorethink" tag instead of the built-in "json" tags.

you can do the same with psql, rails bin commands, php, or anything else that can talk to the db

That seems correct, I saw the issue bump on github, you guys seem like the nicest and brightest engineers around and really hope you guys keep that vibe.

I really hope I get to use Rethink in anger before I die. Last time, I had to move on because we are multi-tenant SaaS and it seemed the compound indexes just were not up to that task, does this release fix any of those issues? (I seem to

Doesn't mention imho the best feature of Go html templating, from the docs ( http://golang.org/pkg/html/template/ ): This package understands HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and URIs. It adds sanitizing functions

Mentioned this in the blog comments, but would anyone familiar with the Go internals know if a set/modified/etc flag could be added to the struct field and available via reflection? (That would be awesome!)

Seems like the issue is trying to keep type safety when doing a PATCH so instead of polluting the struct with pointers so it can be used to do a PATCH, why not create a separate type specific to that purpose: type Repository struct {

I keep seeing the uuid idea for pkeys, but have yet to see them used by any big site. Last I looked, twitter, facebook are using bigints all over the place. Also, instagram went bigint and blogged about it here http://instagra
