Thanks eat_veggies! May incorporate some of the ideas into a slightly larger game. Will have to see if they fit.

It is using Reason React.
hurricaneSlider··on JINQ – A minimalistic library for Java inspired from .NET LINQ
This times 100. Ended up having a week of intermittent outages when a Dev on my team created a single helper method which took in an Func<> not an Expression<Func<>>. Having the same interface for both is imo dangerous

hurricaneSlider··on Netflix Blog: Tips for High Availability
You could trigger a DB migration using a Jenkins step. Alternatively could have a web hook which triggers a migration as a step in the pipeline. Third option would be to run the migration inside the container.

We've started using it. We're a Dev team with less than 10 developers. Took a little while to set it up, but it has been working flawlessly since then.
hurricaneSlider··on Prototool – A Swiss Army Knife for Protocol Buffers
Always wished there was a tool for protobuf which could test whether a changes to any .proto files were backwards compatible and if not raise an error

You can :) (Especially with the pattern matching feature) https://github.com/louthy/language-ext

It's fully compatible with nodejs, so super feasible to do backend dev

Why not use one of the pleorhora of static markdown renderers and serve vanilla HTML if you're the bandwidth constrained?
hurricaneSlider··on Twizzler: An Operating System for Next-Generation Memory Hierarchies [pdf]
Very cool.

I'm convinced access to persistent large addressable memory will fundamentally change the way we program.

Less optimistically, I imagine it's going to take a lot of time for this paradigm shift to happen. The idea of the cache hierarchy is a long held one and permeates both education and industry.

hurricaneSlider··on Concurrent JavaScript: It can work
Hi Zach, I'm working on a implementation of the actor model for node, and since you mentioned it, I was wondering if you would perhaps be able to provide some feedback on it. Still very early days, but making some good progress on a single node implementation.

hurricaneSlider··on Funciton – A graphical programming language
Source control shouldn't be a deal breaker I feel. The on disk representation would just need to be optimised for source control. For example an AST in the form of s-expressions could represent the visual structure of the program and would be amenable to VCS manipulation
hurricaneSlider··on Ask HN: What is your most impressive hackathon project?
There was a thesis I read on automated metro map drawing which beautifully proved it's equivalence to another NP-Complete problem, and then proceeded to use a constraint solver to create locally optimal solution. Was quite a complex set of constraints. But it ended up with some good results.

hurricaneSlider··on The new ASP.NET Core 2.0 packages can no longer be used on .NET Desktop
We've built our entire backend on .NET Core. We've got a lot of moving parts. The main pain points have ironically been certain Azure libraries which haven't been ported to the standard yet. I've also been using F# core and while the experience isn't yet there, it feels close.

I've played around with it. It works.

hurricaneSlider··on C# functional language extensions and Erlang-like concurrency system
Yip syntactic sugar for immutable property only class instantiation.

Structs differ from classes in that they are guaranteed to be contiguously placed laid out in memory; they're also non nullable and can't be a part of the inheritance hierarchy (though they can implement interfaces, which have some perf tradeoffs).

hurricaneSlider··on C# functional language extensions and Erlang-like concurrency system
I've been using them quite heavily already. Lovely stuff. Though disappointing that record types didn't make it in.
hurricaneSlider··on C# functional language extensions and Erlang-like concurrency system
I personally use both Akka and LanguageExt together. The higher order type features, monadic operators and types such as Optional and Either are useful for any project
