I'm writing a practical guide to building and launching mobile apps end-to-end: https://opinionatedlaunch.com/
- wiradikusumaThere's a saying that no idea is unique, that when you think of an idea, someone else would have thought of the same. I _literally_ have the same idea and am working on a PoC, except mine is completely LAN-based. I'm so happy to see your app!
- > With everything running in a monolith, if a bug is introduced in one destination that causes the service to crash, the service will crash for all destinations
We can have a service with 100 features, but only enable the features relevant to a given "purpose". That way, we can still have "micro services" but they're running the same code: "bla.exe -foo" and "bla.exe -bar".
- If you haven't checked Scala 3, give it a try. Its syntax is now Python-like (indentation based), although you can also use C style if you prefer.
And it's faster (or maybe my laptop is faster).
- I want to create a "gaming streaming platform" like Stadia as a weekend project, does anyone know where to get started? Basically where the input device and the game are in different machines.
- I have a feeling somebody will link that xkcd post soon...
- Before even deciding which Java to install, you have to decide which _version managers_ to use:
1. No version manager, download and install manually. Not that hard, since it's just a zip file and maybe set JAVA_HOME envvar. If you need multiple versions to co-exist, skip this.
2. Use OS' "native" package manager. Brew, apt, chocolatey.
3. Generic package manager like asdf.
4. SDKMAN!, JBang, jEnv, jabba...
Deciding is easy. But remembering which one you used 6 months ago when you want to install another version...
- Does anyone know why NPM seems to be the only attractive target? Python and Java are very popular, but I haven't heard anything in those ecosystems for a while. Is it because something inherently "weak" about NPM, or simply because, like Windows or JavaScript, everyone uses it?
- Bottled (mineral) water is a big business in Indonesia. Not sure if "people" are incentivized to change that anytime soon.
- Alcohol is more expensive than other countries, in general.
- I used to say, "Don't worry, we host it on Cloudflare. If it's down, then 30% internet is down. It's highly unlikely."
Well...
- Can we use Rust / Go / Java (GraalVM Native) or Flutter Linux to build an executable that runs on an OS with an Ironclad kernel? Or is there special treatment that makes it incompatible with "plain" Linux exe?
- Sounds like MobX (for Dart) https://mobx.netlify.app/ (and GetIt, for the DI)

- You may not realize it, but barring price, EVs (esp. Chinese EVs) are like smartphones. When you buy one, in 3 months there's another model with better tech and cheaper (ceterus paribus). Not ideal for buyers, but I like it this way.
Let's say (Chinese) EVs never appear in the world. Why do car prices keep increasing while only marginally better?

- Could you elaborate on "orientation"?
Let's say for C-to-C, are you talking about swapping the head/tail? Or simply connecting at a different angle (180 degrees)?
- In 2018, I founded a startup specializing in chatbot for events. At the time the platforms were Alexa Skills, Actions on Google, and Messenger Platform (and LINE Bot, for people in Asia). I guess what's old is new again, but with fancier tech.
This time will be different?
- I might not be able to afford paid support yet since it's just PoC, but if it's okay to be public, could they respond to the GitHub issue instead so it can benefit others? https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/issues/3073
- Exactly my thoughts, and yes, it's not HTTP. Not a big deal, I guess, if they explain how to work around it...
