pasxizeis··on Speeding Up Our Build Pipelines
Correct. It might sound obvious to some, but if you're an organization from the Rails 0.x era (~2011) you have a lot of legacy code and infrastructure that albeit not fancy new tech, it works.

That's what a mistry recipe looks like, with some additional conventions (e.g. params are accessible in the project as files located in `/data/params`). mistry recipes are essentially Dockerfiles.

For us, when assets had to be compiled, a production deploy would take 15-17 minutes. After mistry (when asset compilation time was shaved off), deployment takes ~5 mins.
pasxizeis··on Announcing unlimited free private repos
I'm wondering if there's any chance that people that paid for the Pro plan a few days ago, get a refund.
pasxizeis··on Taking Stock of the World’s Debt

Thing is, since taking debt is inherently taking risks, if you look at it from a sociopolitical view, the effects of managing this risk badly can be disastrous for a society. For example, if incompetent governments take on debt that they cannot pay back, future generations will suffer, like it happens to Greece right now.

Then why the 2008 financial crisis happened? It was because of bad lending which resulted to defaults.

pasxizeis··on Open Source is Not About You
Could it be that people who use your OSS think you have an obligation to them, because you marketed your software in a nice and pretty gift wrap package (eg. web page) and they chose yours over and alternative (ie chose to invest their time and effort on it)? They chose to "fall" for your marketing over that of another project.

Maybe they feel that by choosing your software over an alternative, they're also helping you (since it's your project after all) and they atypically expect some things of you?

P.S. I'm not taking sides. This is just a shower thought.

pasxizeis··on Paying for Popularity Can Be Fraud
Curious though: if I give a lot of money to a friend, don't I have to somehow report this to the IRS or something? And when he goes on to buy this stuff, doesn't he have to report somehow where all this money came from?
pasxizeis··on Show HN: A library for end-to-end testing Go servers easier
httptest solves the problem of spinning up a new server for use in tests.

However, there are cases where you already have a server (ie. your golang program) and you want to end-to-end test the whole binary (ie. execute the binary with the given arguments and test it).

httptest is a good fit when you need a mock server in your tests. spawn is a good fit when you want to test your actual server binary.

pasxizeis··on A Git Style Guide
I keep getting that question regarding this certain point. It's an arbitrary style preference. Hopefully this makes it clear: https://github.com/agis-/git-style-guide/commit/92455c1d85fd...

pasxizeis··on Dabbling in Erlang, Part 2: A Minimal Introduction
Hey, thanks!
pasxizeis··on Dabbling in Erlang, Part 2: A Minimal Introduction
Yes that was a mistake I made. I've fixed it now thanks to your feedback, with a proper example.
pasxizeis··on Dabbling in Erlang, Part 2: A Minimal Introduction
Yep, I was wrong (fixed the post).

The empty list does not have a head, neither a tail, it's just an empty list.

I've replaced it with another example. Thanks for all the feedback by the way.
