rhapsodyv··on Show HN: Microfronts – Front-end solution for running multiple frameworks as one
We've using iframe to extend legacy apps for at least 10 years. And I don't think this approach that needs rewrite the of the base router really brings a benefit. Very often is really problematic to change the base router.
rhapsodyv··on Blender 2.80
Awesome! Maybe some company like that could offer their driver for free to blender community, as a marketing strategy. I believe that even have some space to a sector giant (like autodesk) acquire this type of company.

Noob question: There's a way to write a OpenGL drive that uses Metal underneath?
rhapsodyv··on Koji – App Development Platform
A lot of business have your niche or micro localization. It don't become a unicorn, but can make money sufficiently to be a life style business. As some saas are like grocery store.

Maybe the author is talking about this type of "local/nich tech business"... No?

rhapsodyv··on Ask HN: Why is HN so aggressively anti-Bitcoin?
A comment off topic of a fashion that police have found in my country, they have discovered gangs are mining bitcoin with theft of electric power. Almost a real gold mine
rhapsodyv··on Ask HN: What is your money-making side project outside programming?
I have a CNC Laser and do stuff for friends and schools in the area I live. Nothing like a real business, but help to free my mind from my daily work, and I make ~USD 300 per month.
rhapsodyv··on Show HN: Clothes shopping app UI built in React Native
We don't use redux. We are happy using js-data with a rest backend right now. We going to try graph-ql soon.
rhapsodyv··on React-Starter-Kit – Open Source Universal React Redux GraphQL Boilerplate
Is there any starter kit using rest without redux out there?

Actually I’m using react with js-data for a rest backend. I have made some simple forms and list components that abstract a lot of communication with the server.

rhapsodyv··on Using React, Firebase, and Ant Design to Quickly Prototype Web Applications
I thought the same. But, as I started to work with react in a side project, now I really enjoy it. In the beginning is a really mess. But, as you begin to think in a "data stream oriented way" (like you do in Haskell with lists), your templates look like any regular framework. It stay isolated in a function with no more than value substitutions. You even can separate in a different file. The only really JS code I have mixed with html has "if" and "map/for" statements. This is, yet, the uglier part for me (at least, now). BTW: I don't use redux (and I never will!).
rhapsodyv··on The rise and fall of Ext JS
I love ExtJS, and still use the version 5. This post is very true for me too. I didn't upgrade to version 6 because the new license system and the last versions is still very unstable in my tests.

But I will really miss the JSON-way of creating interface. With Xtypes everything is defined as a json object. And is incredible the customization options of their components. Other thing that I will miss a lot is how well integrated is the presentation components with their data layer.

rhapsodyv··on Elixir 1.5 released
I think is not that popular yet. Look at this issue for the sublime elixir plugin [1], it's breaks a lot of things and seems stalled for a long time...

rhapsodyv··on I've removed all ad network code from my blog
Another point: Facebook is increasily adding features so people don't need to leave to read or anything else.

How ad networks will adapt to that? In a short or mid-term future aren't just the famous and niche content blog that will survive?

Just thoughts...

rhapsodyv··on Show HN: Remember – A progressive Todo app
The first time I saw this things I thought: well, Java programmers are coming to web development ...

There're too many over engineering that call itself "simple" .

rhapsodyv··on Piwik 3.0.0
Piwik is an awesome tool. But today I'm only using their JS Tracker to send requests to a pool of nginx servers. The event logs are parsed with Fluentd and saved in a mongodb instance. After that, a proccess do some aggregations and put in my postgresql (app db).

We have this setup because we run our custom and specific analytics for a lot of clients.

Do anyone have a similar setup and have some experiences or hints to share?

rhapsodyv··on MacOS Sierra
how disappointing... everything is working fine, even stuff installed by macports.. the only thing that doesn't works is the port command itself
rhapsodyv··on MacOS Sierra
Anyone having trouble with macports or homebrew?
rhapsodyv··on Kill Your Dependencies
Perfect. Get things done fast. Prove your product. If it succeed, you will have time to tune every aspect and invent your own wheel that fit your needs. But until that, RAM is a lot cheaper than your own time writing from scratch your version of things that are very stable and largely used.

But, the advice is really important for gem writters. As a gem author, I think you really need think a little more about our dependencies as you do with our public interface.

rhapsodyv··on Facebook is closing Parse
I'm trying to find the reason. Anyone can point me where I can find?
rhapsodyv··on Rails 5.0.0.beta1: Action Cable, API Mode, Rails Command
I cannot agree more with you. For me, Rails is a way to get things done fast. If you can follow all rails goodies, there aren't any other framework comparable. The way things just works is the main point for me.

But of course it doesn't fit everyone needs.

rhapsodyv··on Show HN: Ssh2, simplifying EC2 ssh'ing
Do you mind share your script? It seems very useful.
rhapsodyv··on Show HN: Ssh2, simplifying EC2 ssh'ing
Very useful. I'm currently using ~/.ssh/config. I gave nickname for the servers and all parameters are in the config:

  Host my-foo
  HostName 54.xx.xx.xx
  User my_user
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/server_key.pem
So, just: ssh my-foo
rhapsodyv··on El Capitan and Homebrew
Anyone having issues with macports too?
rhapsodyv··on WebMSX – Online MSX Emulator
Really nice work!!! I'm really nostalgic here showing the computer I learned to program when I was 10!! Thanks!! Again, really nice work!!
rhapsodyv··on Raspberry Pi touch display
One thing I miss in default raspberry pi is battery support. Today I just use the filesystem in RO.
rhapsodyv··on Language Trends on GitHub
Would be nice to have the origin of the project... I suspect java is growing up because too much projects migrating to github.
rhapsodyv··on Show HN: An Isomorphic JavaScript Framework Faster Than React
Man, a few hours ago I was debating with some team mates about js frameworks. In the middle of this ocean of frameworks I keep going with ExtJS. And I'm very criticized about this. And today the discussion is as always - that it's a monster and I need try ember ou angular etc etc... But I keep using ExtJs happily focusing in my business and almost never worrying about why something not work and wondering how to use new new coolest javascript/css/html thing - I almost never touch html and css since I begin to use ExtJS. I'm happy and it's working.
rhapsodyv··on Pure Python Vim clone
But it isn't a clone.

Every clone I see try to reproduce vim usage, but none really try to run vimfiles. I think running vimfiles is a must have for a clone to get real users.

rhapsodyv··on Pure Python Vim clone
Is there any vim clone that actually have full support to vimfiles?
rhapsodyv··on OpenBSD's safe, new file(1) implementation
What caught my attention most was the fact they are using CVS. Nothing against, just I don't see CVS too much today.

Anyone knows how much impact this change can bring? How much systems rely on file?

Personally, every time I use it was as one-time script.

rhapsodyv··on Conkeror
[off topic - My experience with XUL] Time ago I had to work in a project to give maintenance to AtMail... And it had an interface made in XUL. It was one of worst experience I had in software. The error, of course is that XUL was made to build browser components, not website user interface specific to firefox. Just remembered it now...
