Fountain pens are like mechanical keyboards. People use them because they make the act of writing _feel_ good. It's not about the tech, but rather about the pleasure of using the instrument. How smooth do you want the nib to be? How mu

That's a tough one to automate. Right now, it involves logging a manual time entry to your timeline (then posting it). If you walk away from your computer and come back, WiseTime will ask whether you want to log the time (or part of it

This article resonates with me. I feel very strongly about spyware (Bossware is too kind). Views expressed here are my own, not those of my employer. I work for a company that makes an automated time tracking product (WiseTime [1]). We migr

3 years ago, I also wanted a bare metal cluster for my homelab. I wanted x86-64, low power consumption, small footprint, and low cost. I ended up building this 5 node nano ITX tower: https://vyshane.com/2016/12/19&

The NIO version of Swift gRPC is currently at v1.0.0-alpha.6. Hopefully we'll see a 1.0 version soon. Swift gRPC repo: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-swift

How about the equivalent of RxJava instead: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/combine Unfortunately not available on Linux, so server side is out :(

TL;DR I was pretty excited when Apple announced SwiftUI and Combine at dub dub this year. I have been following the Swift gRPC project, and when they released their first 1.0.0-alpha version not long after, I decided that the world was read

FoundationDB Record Layer uses protocol buffers out of the box. They leverage the fact that you can evolve protobuf messages in a sane way. That's their equivalent of doing database schema migrations.

Both. And if your external clients rather consume a JSON/REST API, it's easy to derive that from a gRPC API. You can do it right there in your protobuf definition. It's actually easier to do it that way than to deal with Open

gRPC has been solid for us on the JVM, and streaming has been great when consuming from Apache Flink jobs, integrating with message queues, receiving push notifications and so on. For async work it's useful to have more than just reque

We've been using gRPC and Protocol Buffers for the last couple of years. We write APIs using the Protobuf interface definition language, then generate client libraries and server side interfaces. Then it's a matter of implementing

I had good success with the CoreOS Kubernetes Vagrant boxes [1]. However, I switched once Kubernetes became usable via Docker because the latter gives me super fast setups and teardowns, allowing me to iterate quickly on infrastructure code

GKE is why I am personally switching from AWS to GCP. I'm running Kubernetes on AWS at my current gig, but I'd rather not have to build and maintain the cluster myself if I don't have to.

Hi Solomon, do you have an ETA for Docker 1.7? I see that it's currently in RC1. How soon will we be able to take advantage of libnetwork via Compose? Is there any documentation yet on how it will be done in Compose? Is there currently

Why assume that they are using Docker because they have a portability problem? They probably like OS X as a workstation OS, and want to use Docker for the DevOps benefits that they gain from it. boot2docker is just a lightweight solution fo

Congratulations on the new release! I can already see that `docker exec` and `docker create` will allow me to get rid of a number of admin and configurator containers. When I started playing around with boot2docker, I was gagging for the ab

For me, it comes down to the fact that I find Auto Layout more declarative. I'm `saying what I mean` when I apply constraints - that can be done in code too, of course, although Xcode 6 is getting pretty good at surfacing that informat

iOS has always been able to do fluid layouts. It was possible with Springs and Struts (though a PITA), and from iOS 6 onwards has Auto Layout, which I personally find better (more declarative) than Android's box model.

iOS uses logical points, i.e. a DIP on Android. As for iOS's @1x vs. @2x images, think of them as your drawable-*dpi resources on Android.

The Scala folks like to say that newcomers can start with procedural OO and then slowly grow into the functional mindset. Developers don't need to learn and use all the language features from the get go. I suppose that the same advice
