bbmarioon Tcl: Everything Is a String

wtf luajit is a monster

bbmarioon Lua 5.4.0 beta

Wish they could improve the language syntax. It's so unnecessarily verbose. Moonscript did a good job improving Lua.

Magic Leap next?

bbmarioon Dqlite – High-Availability SQLite

That's interesting. Didn't know about it.

bbmarioon If you must run Windows 10

I don't think the issues with Windows 10 bloat is historical. In fact, I recommend removing 10 and using 7 instead. 10 is just a bad joke that makes a brand new PC look like times square.

bbmarioon Show HN: I made a CRM system to make sales fun

Precisely. This is a niche: ERP/CRM mix for mom and pop shops, so they can afford the software and not get swamped in integrations/complex docs.

bbmarioon Show HN: I made a CRM system to make sales fun

Well, they need to track orders, send newsletters to their customers, some help preparing physical newsletters, track inventory, etc. The basics. However, they do it all with Excel right now, so some intelligence from a CRM would be nice: forecasting? When and how much inventory should I have for next season? etc.

bbmarioon Show HN: I made a CRM system to make sales fun

What would you recommend for a mom and pop ecommerce? Trying to find something for a couple of friends, but everything is bloated and complex.

PHP invented serverless.

bbmarioon Amazon fires: Brazil threatened over EU trade deal

The reason Finland is doing this is the same why you are being down-voted for posting scientific data: political agenda. Science mostly doesn't matter, only when it fits your favorite narrative.

bbmarioon Amazon fires: Brazil threatened over EU trade deal

It is particularly funny to see Europe trying to scold Brazil's actions, given that many of the social and economical issues that the country faces are direct consequences of European colonialism exploitation.

bbmarioon Amazon fires: Brazil threatened over EU trade deal

Correct. Marina Silva continuously warned about these issues since she left the government: https://politica.estadao.com.br/noticias/geral,marina-marca-...

You could put everything inside a zip and that's it.

bbmarioon Rails 6.0

Wow, got down voted for asking a question on which web application server I should use with Rails today. Really?

bbmarioon Rails 6.0

As a matter of fact, yes. Not as big as GitHub, but bigger than Shopify. So the choice of application server matters, as well as how easy it is to scale and provision that server.

bbmarioon Rails 6.0

What is the fastest web server for Rails today? I've always wanted to run something serious with Rails, but the performance always puts me off.

It would be interesting to see input latency comparison.

Is it 29MB for production dependencies, or dev and prod?

By that logic, shouldn't you be creating a var for the expression_argument() return?

bbmarioon Show HN: Tailwind.run – An Online Playground for Tailwind CSS

Dark/white. Compact/expanded. Color variations. Palette variations. Ever heard of white label websites too?

bbmarioon Show HN: Tailwind.run – An Online Playground for Tailwind CSS

I'm looking at the example: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/utility-first

So, if I'm making a theme, and I want a different color for the text, I have to replace "text-gray-900" with my hex code for purple?

Also, what if my theme is about making the design more compact, or increasing density? How do I customize thousands of elements with different combinations of class="ml-6 pt-1"?

Oh, and don't get me started on "bg-white rounded-lg". God forbid your theme wants squared boxes on black background.

bbmarioon Poetry: Dependency Management for Python

> done easily with vanilla virtualenv, vanilla pip, vanilla setup.py, and a Makefile

I wouldn't call that "easy", but OK.

bbmarioon Poetry: Dependency Management for Python

How do you start a new Python project in 2019? I mean, there's so much stuff. Poetry, pip, virtualenv... oh, my. With PHP, I just composer init and that's it.

bbmarioon Show HN: Tailwind.run – An Online Playground for Tailwind CSS

I don't understand frameworks like this. You are basically tying presentation with markup. God forbid you want to create more than one theme for the same HTML!

bbmarioon Picking the FB50 smart lock

Curious about this too. I want a smart lock, but don't want it on someone else's cloud.

bbmarioon Electron 6.0
