SVG files are like JPG, PNG, and GIF files. They’re all images. But unlike JPG, PNG, and GIF files - which are raster images - SVG files are vector images. And, unlike JPG, PNG, and GIF files, SVG files don’t render a thumbnail in Windows Explorer or show up as a preview.

The lua-resty-http is incredbily useful when you need some LUA in OpenResty to place external HTTP requests. However, when you need it to do HTTPS things are just a little more complex - it's not a simple as passing it https as a scheme, instead you need to make a specific call to trigger the SSL handshake This snippet shows how to do that (using a keepalive pool to reduce connection overhead between requests) Read more…

Poisson on startups - zrkrlc.com - 5 years ago - eng
Let’s start with some sage advice.A lot of curmudgeonly commenters on HN treat viable side-projects as a lottery. If we take that idea seriously, well, your chances of winning a PowerBall per ticket is 1 in 13 983 816. There are around 42620 programmers in Silicon Valley + the other US tech hubs (Seattle, Dallas/Fort Worth, DC, NYC)1. So if every single one of those Y programmers tries to found a startup, the expected number of startups we’..

I've been on the fence about Phoenix and Elixir for a while and I thought I'd take at least a quick dive. I've had a development system for Phoenix and Elixir since at least 2016 but I haven't done much. This means that the first task is bringing it into the 2020s. Upgrading Elixir I installed Elixir via HomeBrew which means it is a simple: which elixir /usr/local/bin/elixir Note : It can be hard sometimes to know if you install....

People often say to 'move files around until it feels right', but what does 'right' even mean? Let's learn in this article.

Since version 4.10, OCaml offers a new best-fit memory allocator alongside its existing default, the next-fit allocator. At Jane Street, we've seen a big improvement after switching over to the new allocator. This post isn't about how the new allocator works. For that, the best source is these notes from a talk by its author. Instead, this post is about just how tricky it is to compare two allocators in a reasonable way, especially for a g..

I just got a database less home page for a future SAAS app deployed via HatchBox under Rails 5.x and I thought the differences were significant enough that I should document it. HatchBox is the best tool I've ever found for Rails deploys but knowing all the steps to follow is key. elixi: Other than the Rails 5.2 upgrade step, there aren't many differences between this and Rails 6 but it has been long enough since I've done this that wr....

My toy Lisp fn is an inherently single-threaded language, but with its built-in stack-inspection capabilities, it’s easy to build coroutines on top. The implementation only has about 20 lines of code, including comments. This article contains a simplified implementation in-line. In only rewrote some comments to make more sense in context, and removed confusing technicalities like fn’s custom method call syntax, the use of dynamic-wind....

Freetype, included in the font stack on Unix, is quite complex. There are so many layers to get it to do what it does that it's easy to get lost. From finding the font, to actually rendering it, and everything in between. Like most of the world, I use a rather low screens definition (1366x768 with 96 dpi) and rather old-ish laptop, unlike some font designers that live in a filter bubble where everyone has the latest macbook. Thus, good and ..

TLDR Somehow my postgres installation was upgraded. When postgres is upgraded its data is NOT upgraded. This means postgres won't start BUT it will be a silent failure; you can only confirm this via the logs. tail -n 10 /usr/local/var/log/postgres.log The Long Version I went through a situation the other day where I would start and stop postgres and the database would NEVER be available for connection. Here is the error that I ke....

I use goodreads a lot because I like to read books and want to find more books to read. This morning I was reading a thread on hackernews on Sarah Manavis’s NewStatesman article and it reminds me of how much I want, I yearn, for useful book recommendations. I think about this pretty much every time I open the goodreads page or app and hope that maybe this is the day they finally fix recommendations, so I figure I would capture some id....

The 11th - lambdaland.org - 5 years ago - eng
Today is September 11th. I remember waking up 19 years ago, coming into the living room, and my dad getting down on one knee so he was closer to my level. He told me that earlier that morning two airplanes had crashed into some tall buildings in New York City. I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but I soon found out. For several anniversaries thereafter, my elementary school class would spend a minute of silence in remembrance of t....
