At Thinkmill, monorepos have proven to be a very useful model for organising our projects. We’ve written some articles and resources to help you explore this space.
I have been using git for a while, and I took the time to learn about it in great detail. Equipped with an understanding of its internals and a comfortable familiarity with tools like git rebase — and a personal, intrinsic desire to strive for minimal and lightweight solutions — I have organically developed a workflow which is, admittedly, somewhat unorthodox.
When you live in a command line, configurations are a deeply personal thing. They are often crafted over years of experience, battles lost, lessons learned, advice followed, and ingenuity rewarded. When you are away from your own configurations, you are an orphaned refugee in unfamiliar and hostile surroundings. You feel clumsy and out of sorts. You are filled with a sense of longing to be back in a place you know. A place you built. A place where all the short-cuts have been worn bare by your own travels. A place you proudly call… $HOME.
A polyfill of the JavaScript standard library, which supports: The latest ECMAScript standard; ECMAScript standard library proposals; Some WHATWG / W3C standards (cross-platform or closely related ECMAScript).
Let me start with this — this is by all means not a comparison of what should be your next choice for Front-End. It’s a small, relatively unsophisticated, comparison of three things: Performance, Size, and Lines of Code of pretty similar application.
Nix is a tool that helps people create reproducible builds. This means that given a known input, you can get the same output on other machines. Let’s build and deploy a small Rust service with Nix.
[I]nstead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.
Execute one command (or mount one Node.js middleware) and get an instant high-performance GraphQL API for your PostgreSQL database! - graphile/postgraphile
GraphQL Start is a pragmatic guide that explains how to build a GraphQL API (server) from start to finish on top of Node.js stack using JavaScript and GraphQL.js library.
AlaSQL.js - JavaScript SQL database for browser and Node.js. Handles both traditional relational tables and nested JSON data (NoSQL). Export, store, and import data from localStorage, IndexedDB, or Excel. - agershun/alasql
Rusts type system requires that there only ever is one mutable reference to a value or one or more shared references. What happens when you need multiple references to some value, but also need to mutate through them? We use a trick called interor mutability: to the outside world you act like a value is immutable so multiple references are allowed. But internally the type is actually mutable. All types that provide interior mutability have an UnsafeCell at their core. UnsafeCell is the only primitive that allows multiple mutable pointers to its interior, without violating aliasing rules. The only way to use it safely is to only mutate the wrapped value when there are no other readers. No, the garantee has to be even stronger: we can not mutate it and can not create a mutable reference to the wrapped value while there are shared references to its value. Both the book and the std::cell module give a good alternative explanation of interor mutability. What are some patterns that have been developed to use interior mutability safely? How do multithreaded synchronization primitives that provide interior mutability follow similar principles?
I’m an avid user of Redux-Observable, and while it masks a lot of the difficulties in using RxJS, you still need a deeper understanding of RxJS to handle really complex use cases. Using WebSockets…
My Functional Programming journey was filled with dead ends, false starts, failed attempts and frustration. And I suspect that I’m not alone in this struggle. So why is this a common problem…
With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, more people than ever are considering alternatives to Google products. After all, Google’s business model essentially revolves around data collection and advertisements, both of which infringe on your privacy.
Cockatiel is resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback.
Easily create beautiful UML Diagrams from simple textual description. There are also numerous kind of available diagrams. It's also possible to export images in PNG, LaTeX, EPS, SVG.
Learn more about how the Rust programming language shares many of the advantages offered by Haskell such as a strong type system, great tooling, polymorphism, immutability, concurrency, and great software testing methodologies. Rust is a good choice when you need to squeeze in extra performance.
Historically, I’ve struggled to find a concise, simple way to explain what it means to practice type-driven design. Too often, when someone asks me “How did you come up with this approach?” I find I can’t give them a satisfying answer. ...
