Microsoft doing Microsoft things in Windows... unsurprising, will never end. Maybe at some point people will move to platforms they really have control on?
If you only stream it, it won't be available forever. Keep this in mind when it's something you find culturally relevant... it might require some conservation work.
It's clearly not clear cut, it's a whole spectrum. I wish more web developers would at least ask themselves the question before having knee-jerk reactions reaching for their favorite framework of the day.
The claim is huge. The story doesn't quite say how much is really about Elixir and how much from the revised architecture. That being said, going for something like Elixir has definitely an impact on the architecture... could it be that it pushes for better patterns?
Excellent piece. Be careful what you measure. If you measure the wrong things people will game the system.
Nice overview of the good uses and wrong uses for classes. We're far from the abuses of the early times now.
Interesting opinion piece. Very often we see people mandating a "process". It's almost always the wrong way and how you end up with people following blindly "Scrum by the book" or "SAFe". The approach proposed here is smarter: give the business constraints, let people choose what works best for them, support them along this journey.
Nice article explaining unikernels and showing the example of MirageOS.
Interesting research, this shows opportunities to push CRDTs to the next level.
Another partial quote which led to misunderstanding. One should indeed think about performances early on.
I tend to agree with those, they are among my pet issues with C++.
Good set of patterns indeed. The article is web oriented but this makes sense in other type of applications as well.
I agree with this. They are very interesting devices. Not necessarily easily hackable yet though. It's definitely getting there.
Interesting opinion piece about GPT and LLMs. When you ignore the hype, consider the available facts, then you can see how it's another extra tool and unlikely to replace many people.
More thinking gets around the debate about tech debt. This is definitely welcome. Using more precise labels can indeed being clarity in conversations.
Nice reasoning. It very well highlights the tradeoffs coming the choice they made. And of course the decision might change if the situation changes.
Interesting analysis around the current situation around web scraping and intellectual property. This moved to being mostly dealt with using contract law which makes it a terrible minefield. Lots of hypocrisy all around too which doesn't help. GPT and the likes will likely be the next area where cases will rise.
Nice introduction to domain repetitions. A fascinating concept (IMHO) very much used in procedurally generated content.
A good reference on most of the branching patterns you can find. From this you can derive your project wide policy. Also it's spot on when it says that branching is easy but each time you branch you need to keep in mind how you're going to merge.
Nice little primer about Elixir and Phoenix. Be careful though, I spotted a couple of mistakes in the code examples. That still gives a good idea of advantages and limitations of this stack.
