This is the second in an indefinite series of posts about things that I think went well in the Sorbet project. The previous one covered our testing approach. Sorbet is fast. Numerous of our early users commented specifically on how fast it was, and how much they appreciated this speed. Our informal benchmarks on Stripe’s codebase clocked it as typechecking around 100,000 lines of code per second per core, making it one of the fastest produc..

Rails 5.2 and Rails 6 introduced the idea of rails credentials:edit which allowed you to create encrypted credentials that stored things like API keys with commands like this: rails credentials:edit --environment development What this does is create a file in config/credentials and edit and then (theoretically) save it, in an encrypted state. I was recently using this on a Rails 6 application and I found that no matter what I did m....

As the New Year draws closer I like to reflect. Around this time I publish a few thoughts on what I made, what worked and what didn’t.

On Monday I had to put my beloved cat, Irida, to sleep. Who is Irida Twelve years ago, I wanted to get a pet. My friends helped me find one via a post about a stray young cat which was found under a truck in my area. After two days the cat was in my house and that's how one my most beloved beings came into my life. I was thinking of names and I ended up naming her "Irida" (which is a variation of Iris ) after a server in my u....

A number of years ago, the late Charles Sheffield had a book titled, I think "Dark as Day", which had as a feature a "fax" which was an AI based psuedo answering machine that you could chat with when the person you wanted wasn't available: MORD: the idiosyncratic high-level Fax of the late Mordecai Perlman. e-reading.club More… And today I read via Hacker News that I can build this using Google CoLab ( article / discussion ) ..

I’ve finally done it. I’ve beaten the game Tetris. More specifically, Atari 2-player arcade Tetris, which is the best version of Tetris ever released (in my opinion) and the one that was available in arcades before Nintendo secured the rights to the game from the Soviet Union. A few years ago, my daughter and I picked up a Taito arcade cabinet that I restored to play Tetris using the original Atari arcade game printed circuit board (PCB..

Wow. I am a damn idiot who has literally made his life harder than it ever needed to be — for years. Sigh. I am referring to the Rails generator and the scaffold command. When you have complex software tools, sometimes you don't discover features – great damn features – for a long time. In this case I'm referring to: rails g scaffold pluralized_object_name In my case, I'm building a project where the ultimate goal is to creat....

In the past few years, we’ve seen a lot of change and diversion in regard to web technologies. In 2020, I foresee us as a web community heading toward two major trends/goals: extensibility and interoperability.

Digital transformation is not a buzzword - it’s a force. Practically all businesses, big and small, seek to make technology their core, and to accelerate their ability to adapt to the market. And yet, as entire enterprises seek to reshape themselves to meet these new challenges - security stays behind. If we’re going to base our approach on the new digital reality, we first need to understand it - what are the key changes that take place du..

Looking Back - Jumpstart Pro - The Best Development Decision I Made in 2019

I don't generally do the retrospective (save in an agile context) – I prefer to look forward. And, yes, I'll admit that given some of the crap in my personal life these days, there's a reason for that. Now, that said, I've been thinking back over my 2019 year and I wanted to comment on my single best development decision of 2019: Buying Jumpstart Pro was my single best development decision in all of 2019. Like a lot of developer....

Keeping the web open to everyone with built-in privacy protections and significant efficiency gains. This blog was written by Dr. Andrius Aucinas, Dr. Matteo Varvello, performance researchers at Brave, and Dr. Ben Livshits, Brave's Chief Scientist. In 2019, Brave reached a major milestone with the release of the 1.0 version. As ever, web browsing performance is a key priority for Brave, so we set out to evaluate in detail how it stacks up ..

Table of Contents Record Invariants and Bean Validation Implementation Advantages Limitations Wrap-Up Record types are one of the most awaited features in Java 14; they promise to "provide a compact syntax for declaring classes which are transparent holders for shallowly immutable data". One example where records should be beneficial are data transfer objects (DTOs), as e.g. found in the remoting layer of enterprise applications. Typically,..

I've changed my mind quite a bit when it comes to docker. I used to be a big believer in virtual machines, I still am, but for individual 'applications' Docker makes a fair bit of sense. Reasons to I use Docker Simplicity Docker is the simplest way to replicate a developer's environment on your own computer. No more dealing with differing distro's varying update cycles and the conflicting packages causing edge case issues, because eve....

Despite my mildly fanatical adherence to MySQL, there really is nothing wrong with Postgres and quite a bit to like. Given that Postgres is the default database for Heroku, I am spending more and more time using Postgres these days. What I've found is that my resistance to Postgres, more than anything else, was simply that I was really, really used to the MySQL command line and shell. What I've found is that if you pair Postico with P..

Markdown is a popular format for online content due to its easy syntax. Now you can create interactive content using React components in Markdown with MDX. In this article, I show how to use MDX with a React application to render an interactive chart with Recharts in a markdown file.
