josep2··on If you care about privacy, you should not use Google Allo
Why are we worried about a chat app that hasn't been released yet?
josep2··on From Node.js to Go
Beating the living shit out of this dead horse.
josep2··on Shopify Capital
Predatory lending as a service.
josep2··on The expense of an MLB game
That's a fair criticism. I don't have data on common modes of transit to games, unfortunately. I can assume that it's high for big cities but there is no way for me to know for sure. If I run across that data, I'll for sure revisit this.
josep2··on Withings acquired by Nokia
I have 3 Withings products and I must say all 3 have helped improve my life and health. I hope this helps create more great things rather than uncertainty.
josep2··on Segment Sources – Load Salesforce, Zendesk, Stripe into Redshift and Postgres
Segment is always killing it.
josep2··on Ask HN: How do I prepare to transition to a software architect role?
Thanks for this answer! Do you think there are opportunities to get this kind of experience outside of a consultancy?
josep2··on Scala Center
Other than Scala I write Node.js and Python.
josep2··on JavaScript libraries should be written in TypeScript
People spending their free time writing open source software should write it in whatever they want. There is no way anyone should be forced to comply with any standard when they are freely sharing their code. This article perfectly reflects my thoughts when it comes to asking open source authors to do anything: http://hueniverse.com/2016/01/26/how-to-use-open-source-and-...
josep2··on Scala Center
Fallen in love with Scala in the last 3 months. Happy to see more support.
josep2··on Import Evernote to OneNote – finally
Once the Mac one gets released I'll probably move from Evernote permanently.
josep2··on Amazon Echo Dot
You're a true hero for sharing this.
josep2··on Go by Example
Sweet list. Thanks for posting.
josep2··on Amazon Echo Dot
Would be awesome if I could connect and control my Sonos from it.
josep2··on 2016 Spark Summit East Keynote
Started using Spark 1.6 a few months ago. Excited for the Kafka Connector feature.
josep2··on Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code
Exactly what I needed.
josep2··on Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects
People who are maintaining the FOSS projects should decide what they use, not you.
josep2··on Emacs vs. WebStorm for Node.js Development
Webstorm is my defacto for both Node.js and Scala. Expensive but worth it for me (especially since I usually get it reimbursed by work).
josep2··on How Microsoft Plans to Beat Google and Facebook to the Next Tech Breakthrough
Sincerely hope this is the case.
josep2··on Announcing Wolfram Programming Lab
Same experience. Would love to use this over Matlab but the UI is painful.
josep2··on Why I'm joining the Dart Team
Alright I'll give this a serious look.
josep2··on Inside Automattic's Remote Hiring Process
I interviewed, made it to the paid project stage and got cut loose. Since then I've contributed to a number of open source projects and built some great things in production. Would now be a good time to apply again?
josep2··on Writing the next chapter for Prismatic
Will miss Prismatic a lot, I use the app everyday. Anyone know of a similar app?
josep2··on Mathematica programming – an advanced introduction (2009)
Love programming in Mathematica in college but the closed source development and expensive licenses made it a non-starter for me over the years.
josep2··on Elixir v1.1.0 Released
I tried Elixir about 2 months ago for a project and found the standard library was lacking and the quality of community contributed modules wasn't up to par with other languages. I've worked with Python and Node my career and I prefer the Multi-paradigm approach of a Language like Go or Rust than the functional approach. I'll probably give it a try again in a year when it's more mature.
josep2··on Thoughts about the cutting-edge of server programming
Hi, you mentioned Lua in the first paragraph but didn't go into any detail about how you are using it. Can you expound on that?
josep2··on Ask HN: Do you use Lua in Production?
I got started because a friend introduced me to torch: http://torch.ch/. It's very quick and easy to work with. From there I started doing more with it for processing data. Now I'm considering using it in a web application.
josep2··on Ask HN: Who is interested in a book about high performance Erlang?
I'd buy it. Doing some Erlang and Elixir stuff at the moment and need as many tips as I can get.
josep2··on Why I Chose Hapi
Thanks! Please let me know how it goes for you!
josep2··on LinkedIn Dark Patterns: Why Your Friends Keep Spamming You to Sign Up
In my experience LinkedIn produces 97% spam the 3% of value they produce is so valuable that it keeps me there. All of the jobs I've worked in my career have come from a LinkedIn hook up. Additionally I have helped friends network into jobs through it. I wish they would clean things up a bit, however.
