I remember arguing to keep the word 'suicide' in due to breaking API changes it would cost to fix it. They made the change and it ended up breaking a bunch of modules and also was way more of a headache to implement. All because a word that is not a great choice.

Witch hunt. People who aren't busy coding get involved in this junk.

I actually love the domain driven work done in this release. I think it was a bold move from the team and breaks them even further away from Rails on EVM that people tend to think.

I have been bit so many times with trying to figure out where to put things like authentication/registration in a traditional MVC rails like app.

This is great for something like a public website. What about a situation where I want some of my users to only be authorized to view some of my data based on a set of rules I set in my backend application. Can Agolia accomplish this?

EDIT: Looks like they do support this.. https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-client/ruby/api-keys/#genera...

However, I think for a small project it will probably be extra work to keep these keys synchronized vs just doing a postgres search for my project

Ever tried to code a robust Android app in Scala? It's a nightmare. Kotlin you just plugin and you can convert your source files very easily. I would agree syntax is not that much different but the compatibility is.

I learned how to program in the Rom Hacking scene and was involved with a team that released 4 patches for games.

The amount of dedication and hours our team put in was incredible. I think I managed around 30-40 hours with high-school.

Also, a lot of the reasons some games never made it stateside or came way late was often financial or political. The US versions of these companies often ran slightly independent from the Japanese game studios and the RPG adoption was not huge in the early console days here yet.

For number 2, you could expire them by encoding some identifier based off a hash or key tied to the user object. Change that object and have the server reject the token if that meta data no longer validates.

Good... Dangerous.... See how even the writers of this article see in black in white.... I can believe handguns are dangerous and still believe they should be legal.

It's reasonable to look for reasons why Trump won but this is really stretching it all.

People often care more about fighting against something they don't like than they do about being 'right'. If the author needs a scientific study to tell her that maybe she's a little out of touch herself...

Wow this is cool. I always preferred Kotlin to Scala and have used it for Android dev. It was extremely easy to get it working compared to writing an app in Scala and the language was more similar with a modern syntax.

This project looks neat and if you had to use JVM tools but wanted some of the benefits of Erlang style development I could see it being a perfect fit.

My thoughts exactly. Title is misleading. If I have to click compile or hot reload it's not really a live editor. You can't change values and watch them update on the fly.

The fact that the Star Trek community is based on a united federation is really just a side part of the series. The main focus of the series is usually encounters with other species and how the crew comes together to solve puzzling problems. Star Trek is not a political statement... It just so happens that utilities like the replicator and the federation allow them to add to the setting of what a futuristic community might look like. Besides, on a a universal scale, the federation is a small group of the human species engaging in trade and communication with other species in a more capitalistic universe. Capitalism right now is for profit but in the future it could be for technology and knowledge.

Start with elixir. The syntax is easy enough to learn. Once you get the hang of it learning erlang will be quite simple. You won't be a pro but you'll be able to look at a file and get the basic idea of what it does. Besides syntax they are very similar module-based languages.

I understand where this is coming from and yes many people are hung up on passion but there are a lot of people breaking their backs out there with no interest in what they are pursuing. It's not that complex, just weigh the pros and cons of your options and pick something that's inline with your goals and commitments.

Oh I'm not saying that they could not be faked or altered. And to be honest when you have a supposedly accurate track record like this it's a perfect brewing storm for someone to come in and exploit it.

But dismissing them as Russian hacking didn't really give a lot of people the choice to make up for themselves. Yes I believe according to wikileaks that the DNC colluded with media and fact checking orgs and pushed their agenda too far. I read the information and made up my mind. So when someone points to Politifact again I'll do the same. Not saying they can't be saved but it's the idea of looking at it as doctrine from the start with a stamp of 'True' or 'False' that I don't like. Things are never that simple.

The problem these 'fact' checkers have become leftist doctrines... You just point to snopes or politifact and that is end of discussion? That's not how the world works. Wikileaks is a far more credible source than either of these. People need to do their own research if they want to form conclusions not just little to prepackaged conclusions.

Yeah that's what I used to think but you have at understand that typing and keeping your fingers on the keyboard is often way faster than moving around and clicking various regions of the screen.

Then what happens when they update their GUI? Oh you have to learn it all over again.

That being said, I do on occasion open a GUI if I have to do a complicated merge or something like that but for basic operations why would you need it.

Yep that's the way to do it. Assume that you want to add all files (which is usually the case) and then just double check before. This is my practice.

I wish more companies would cut ties with Ellen. She's a joke. In summary, "I know we support diversity but not the kind of diversity where you support a candidate I don't like."
