I’ve been working on Hype Doc. I built it for myself and hope others find it useful. I decided to build the mobile apps too and that process is way more work than I expected. It’s been fun though to dive into Rails 8 in the process.
It’s an app to track wins and celebrate yourself

I believe so. This is the issue that was tracking it - https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2452
I've been using this setup for a few weeks now on the unstable client. Happy to see it stable now. The integration between the two services is really nice. Personally, have been a NextDNS user for a little over a year and now a fan of Tailscale. :)
Definitely agree here. It was a great community. I ended up hitting a point where Meteor just didn’t fit performance profile I was looking for and at the time fairly inflexible for which type of DB could be utilized.

Built on Nextra and deployed to Render as a static site.
+1 to Colima. Works seamlessly. Made the switch not too long ago.

I agree. It isn't going to have a large dent in adoption. Bigger companies won't just jump on board and will use Angular and React due to popularity and it is probably easier to hire engineers with experience in one or the other. But, I think the adoption of Elm for newer projects can have a significant impact.
It isn't that hard. You just have to communicate with the Elm ports library appropriately. See this for more information: https://guide.elm-lang.org/interop/javascript.html
Project looks pretty interesting.
You may want to consider converting your "Issues" file into actual GitHub issues and creating a board to track them. That way people can comment on issues and things like that whereas tracking an "Issues" file is a bit more difficult.
Also you could use Markdown or AsciiDoc for the README. It doesn't look pretty right now.
Yeah I'm using that too. I'm curious to know what the differences are between the two services.
This article is really great. Yes, Meteor is still one of my favorite platforms, but every library / framework / platform always comes with its pain points. I have had a great experience with it so far and I have to admit, I did get to a point recently where I was having trouble recommending it to other people and companies due to the various points stated in the post.
But, having said that, there is still a very bright future ahead for Meteor. The people at Meteor Development Group have identified these pain points and have plans to improve some of it. There are various tasks that they are working on now that will change Meteor a bit, but also make it a better platform (in my opinion). Things such as better NPM / module support, support for multiple different types of databases, faster build times, better testing support, etc.
The platform has been around for awhile and I still think that it can reach the goal of being the go-to JS platform for building cross-platform applications.
Yeah, this website: https://elixirstatus.com/ is completely open source:
I work as a software engineer
Primary side project: http://meteorweekly.com
I have a Thinkpad T450S and it is working amazingly with Fedora 22.
It is very lightweight and battery life / support is good in Linux Kernel 4.x
It used to be called Ecmascript 6 (aka ES6), but the name was changed to help enforce a more frequent update. So, it changed from ES6 to Ecmascript 2015 (aka ES2015).
I have looked at both and Meteor has had the architecture that Relay provides for a longer time. On top of that, it is easier to use / setup and allows you to get developing at a faster pace and still use React.
TLDR; Meteor and Relay are very similar, but Meteor is much easier to use.
To comment further on that, here's some more information for you guys based on the comparison notes:
* Meteor is a solution for both frontend and backend development, while Telepat focuses on backend functionality.
- You can use it for just the backend if you want. This statement is true, but just noting that you don't have to use both sides.
* When using Meteor in the backend, you also need to use it in your frontend app. Telepat lets you use any frontend framework.
- You don't have to use it with just Meteor's front end (which is I think what you meant). It has integrations with other front end frameworks and you could use it with just about any front end framework as long as you add some boilerplate to communicate with the client-side store and DDP.
* Meteor is a solution for creating webapps, and running on mobile devices works only via webviews. Telepat enables native clients and native functionality for mobile or embedded.
- Not true actually. They make it the easiest to get mobile apps out with Cordova and webviews, but there are various libraries out there like the ObjectiveC-DDP or meteor-ios library that integrates natively with iOS applications.
* Telepat allows using adapters for 3rd party databases, messaging queues and push transports.
- You can do this with Meteor as well and integrate NPM packages.
I hope that helps shed some light on the comparison.
The platform looks great though. I'll definitely have to take a look at it sometime soon.
A hands on session using Python and introducing algorithms is a great idea in my opinion. Especially since Python is easy to pick up on. You could show them a little bit about time complexities throughout it as well.
Then, if you plan on doing a second session, you could explore a different language like Java, C++, or even functional languages like Scala or Haskell.
In terms of advice for students, I would say general things that can help in most situations throughout a career in software engineering. So, things like Data Structures, Algorithms, Open Source Software & Systems, and tell them to learn at least one strongly typed language (like Java or C++) and one dynamic language (like JavaScript or Python).
I haven't seen a push for it outside of Meteor yet, but i'm sure that is one of the things that they would want to push for later.
Although, there are various DDP clients for other languages as you can see here: http://meteorpedia.com/read/DDP_Clients
XMonad is my favorite tiling window manager. I use it on top of XFCE, so I have a bit of a graphical interface just in case my non-technical friends use my computer and tiling / shortcuts / all the awesome stuff that comes with XMonad on top of that.
Although it is written in Haskell, I find the configuration pretty easy to use and manipulate. It's incredibly powerful and extremely lightweight when compared to other tiling managers.
TLDR; XMonad is my favorite tiling window manager.
Meteor is a full-stack platform. It is made up of a bunch of smaller sub projects that come together to make this awesome project. So, if you don't want to use part of it, you don't necessarily have to.
