ryanthedev··on <Blink> and <Marquee> (2020)
This was a perfect piece of nostalgia. I love that blink was created as a joke.
ryanthedev··on Cosmos Keyboard: Scan your hand, build a keyboard
Love the domain name.
ryanthedev··on A Single Div
I absolutely loved this site. Thank you for sharing.
ryanthedev··on Goroutines: The concurrency model we wanted all along
Well articulated.

Few people realized what callback hell was. Web devs got lucky they added await to JS.

I always appreciated Go for its coroutines. Does make for simpler code.

You know a language has done well when the biggest consistent argument is that it’s “boring”

ryanthedev··on How much can you earn creating content on Youtube?
“And just to be clear...I know exactly what I’m doing”
ryanthedev··on Keep the monolith, but split the workloads
I often feel the word monolith is as poorly defined as the term microservices.

What’s in between a monolith and microservices? Is it SOA?

ryanthedev··on How to build software like an SRE
I couldn’t agree more on these bullets.

People forgot what it means to build 12 factor applications.

ryanthedev··on Ask HN: 10k hours rule to master anything. Could I switch career when I am 43?
Are you asking if you can switch to a developer career? I think absolutely. Remember, you don’t need to become a master to start a career. I know people who have gotten work after doing a bootcamp.

The most difficult task will be getting your foot in the door. After that, you’re golden.

ryanthedev··on Why JSON Isn’t A Good Configuration Language (2018)
Idk. I feel like most things are YAML based or now some custom flavor (bicep, hcl, Nginx)

But that’s more from the IaaC world.

I guess .net application configuration might still be heavy on the JSON side.

I just feel like this isn’t as much of a problem anymore. There are so many ways to utilize alternatives.

ryanthedev··on Ask HN: How do you find peers in your field who care about their craft?
What is this lobsters you whisper of?
ryanthedev··on How many days since a record-high temperature?
I enjoy seeing projects like this
ryanthedev··on Geniuses of the past were aristocratically tutored
Public education is too broad of a definition. People treat public schools as all being equal.

There is a vast difference in level of education depending on where you live.

Things like etiquette, business and investing are taught in schools, all depends on which public schools you go to.

ryanthedev··on Geniuses of the past were aristocratically tutored
This is an article that was written to support a conclusion that todays education is bad. To support that conclusion the writer choose click bait evidence to support it.

I don’t agree with this at all. Genius is a subjective. There is no absolute measurement to gauge it. The best approximation would be IQ.

ryanthedev··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
My companies uses bitwarden. Not a fan. UI is clunky and requires too many clicks. I haven’t used any of the other password managers so I can’t give a good comparison.
ryanthedev··on EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR
I wonder how airline reservations systems like Sabre are going deal with this.
ryanthedev··on The future of deep learning is photonic
I often wonder if you could use different wavelengths of light to do the same. Kind of how you could mix yellow and blue to make green.
ryanthedev··on On Comments in Code
I comment stack overflow links when using some random code I copied.
ryanthedev··on Disasters I've seen in a microservices world
I work in a 300+ project monolith. If you think microserivces are an issue. I can’t help you.

I have worked in both. Until you realize that both worlds have their pros and cons, just stop.

ryanthedev··on Do you really need Redis? How to get away with just PostgreSQL
I believe something like this would have issues with multiple consumers.
ryanthedev··on Kansas is Flatter Than a Pancake (2003)
Damn flat.
ryanthedev··on Performance Booster with System.IO.Pipelines in C#
people seriously underestimate dotnet.

It’s the most malleable language on the market right now.

ryanthedev··on The Tyranny of the Female-Orgasm Industrial Complex
I enjoyed this essay. It’s interesting to see how media can mold society’s expectations of self.

I believe she could find a partner who loves the journey and is not only looking for the destination.

ryanthedev··on I've been merging microservices back into the monolith
People should be more worried about writing non blocking IO code.

Blocking a thread in the cloud is paying the provider to do nothing.

ryanthedev··on Sub-10 ms Latency in Java: Concurrent GC with Green Threads
This is some sauce. Ty.
ryanthedev··on Sub-10 ms Latency in Java: Concurrent GC with Green Threads
Pretty sure a callback vs synchronous style of coding is a little more than syntactic sugar.

It's a complete shift in application design...

If I have to flatmap one more time...

ryanthedev··on Sub-10 ms Latency in Java: Concurrent GC with Green Threads
Can we talk about no async/await support? Can't build scalable apps when I'm in callback hell. It's like ES5 all over again.
ryanthedev··on Does playing chess make you smarter? A look at the evidence
I mean. The same could be said about MTG, DND and a lot of other games.

Seems obvious to me if you play a game that makes you use your brain, it will help you in the long run.

If you just use your brain to consume trash it will become trash.

Garbage in, garbage out.

ryanthedev··on Async Python is not faster
Not a real test.

No response time simulation...

Learn what async code does for you.

ryanthedev··on Ask HN: Name one idea that changed your life
Proof of value vs Proof of concept.
ryanthedev··on Tell Don't Ask (1997)
I stopped at his argument about getting a string with the contents of RED.

That's why you have a variable. Which is a specific named property of an object.

var lastName ="RED"

Umm. It's his last name?
