> Voodoo Manufacturing

I have been using a French company that seems to do the exact same thing, for low volume and prototyping: sculpteo.com

However, for mass production (still low volumes, <10,000) I manufacture in China, and the reason is not only the cost, it's that "manufacturing" is not enough.

We need finishing (polishing, printing) and packaging, and those on-demand manufacturing services usually don't provide this, which is a shame.
The reason you're getting so many negative comments is that you're claiming you've built a profitable business, when it's obvious that you've done nothing of the sort.

"How I spent 16 days working my ass off to generate $450 of sales" is probably a fairer title.
> Wouldn't have thought of built-in help as a popular (47.1%) way of teaching yourself.

The built-in help for eg Java, C# or Delphi is amazing. It starts with autocomplete, then a tooltip with a summary, and full details including examples are just an F1 away.
Interesting. How then does the real science works?
Maybe "falsifiable" claims are not the only means, but that's exactly how science works. Otherwise, why build LHC and LIGO?
It's a good app but as far as I remember the integration with Dropbox wasn't working properly. I think that's the main issue with KeePass right now - getting your passwords synchronized with your phone.
Looks like ReJSON just uses periods instead of slashes as the delimiter, except for also using a period for the root object.
Outside of US, very few people use macs compared to you. Here in euw even in a CS course, engineering class in a top university or hackathon in a big startup incubator I can see like 1 macbook every 30 standard notebooks.

Reason is simple: they are very overpriced for ours salaries (and I am in a first world country, I think their costs are prohibitive in places like India/Cina/etc) and - personal reason - as a webdev I can basically do everything I need in a 250$ old t430 with fedora, so I can't justify to spend like 10 times more just for a shinier piece of hw which is not even easy to upgrade.
Thanks, that looks great!
I think you mean that usually testing monoliths is easier (no network and so on) but I am not sure, can you clarify?

Exactly this. I tried a lot of text editors, and I ended up with Spacemacs. The "everything is text" concept of emacs in conjunction with vim's modal editing is the most powerful interface that I've used.

But after a while you start noticing that the the fact that emacs is 100% hackable is also its biggest problem: everything is possible, and tons of plugins exists. Because of this, a lot of interactions between plugins start to go wrong. The nice plugin that shows you a bar at 80 characters is working well… except in HTML files where this is breaking the display/indentation/completion. Or this other plugin that fails in a specific language, or that other one that doesn't work for diff editing. I got tired of always fighting and wasting time with plugins and configurations.

So I started to look at other editors. Atom? Too slow. Vim? Not an IDE. Sublime? Not open-source. And then I found VSCode, refreshing. I start to love it (and feel bad about this, because… Microsoft, you know…). My problem now is that Spacemacs has put the barrier of keybinding efficiency so high that none of the other editors can compete. Whenever I try another editor, like VSCode, I miss the efficiency of Spacemacs, and especially Magit (one of the most awesome pieces of software I have used). In Spacemacs I do absolutely everything without mouse, with VSCode I have to use the mouse, so it's less efficient (though this has been widely debated recently [1]).

I'm stuck.

Installed a couple of plugins (evil is one of them) and Emacs mostly do the same stuff as my nvim right now, except for being superior for Clojure development.

Also, no syntax highligthing, from time to time it is refreshing to move from quite a customised Spacemacs (I moved from raw emacs to Spacemacs to clean up my .emacs file) to something cleaner and leaner. Acme with plan9ports and piping is pretty nice to use and allows for some fancy customizations that feel very natural, mouse-wise.

That's pretty interesting. Is there a concrete example of a quorum definition where the probability of an outlier is improved vs majority quorum? I'm struggling to come up with one. I've always assumed majority is optimal, since you can tolerate outliers in (n-1) / 2 voters without seeing an outlier for the commit overall. Eg: for 3 node Raft - you'd need both followers to have an outlier before a client notices a slow commit.
Isn't it hard to maintain all the servers? How do you upgrade your application or your database?
I disagree. "that's just how the universe works. Time to update the Standard Model." means we learned somthing we previously didn't, and we have to update our model.
On the other hand, what if acceleration caused by gravity suddenly became 5 m/s^2? this wouldn't be new information, but a fact that directly contradicts previous knowledge.
> early adopters have been tech behemoths such as Amazon

Not true. Amazon is heavily service-oriented, but quite wary of micro services. You need the right size - microservices are often too slow and require a lot of work to debug.

Indeed. To my mind, we really shouldn't start on fracking until flaring has been reduced to near-zero levels. It's wasteful and we can't afford the CO2 emissions.
There are lots of WordPress developers out there, it's time to level up.

If you enjoy web development I would recommend checking out Laravel.

It's a PHP framework so will build on your current skills.

laravel.com

laracasts.com

There is less competition and increasing demand for Laravel developers plus higher pay than WordPress/static sites.

Do you have any previous clients/employers you could contact and do contract work WP/static sites? To get some small wins?

Consider contacting local businesses that need a website, make a list of 10 businesses to visit per day pitching their first or a new website to their business manager.

In the past I've tested out providing the website, design, hosting and once monthly updates to content for a fixed fee vs a larger upfront cost. Setup a subscription with them through stripe or paypal so payments are automatic. Then you have some recurring revenue you can build up.

Exercising and eating right can help with depression so start an exercise program, pick up some new hobbies, hiking, photography, dust off a musical instrument.

I'll also throw out startupsfortherestofus.com, it's a great podcast on building your own business. This is something that takes time but if you're interested could be something you plan/grow over the next 10 years.

Good luck.
We also have apps like 9292 or NS Reisplanner that combine trains, trams, buses, and metros into one route planner. The fact that you can use the Chipkaart for practically all land transportation is also amazingly convenient.

Shows you effects of the echo chamber you are in, as I was very surprised that Scala was only at 3.6%, and beaten by Go at 4.3 and Swift at 6.5% in the programming language section.

The self-selection of people I follow on Twitter, the meetups and conferences I attend, the choice of companies and colleagues I have worked with, etc, probably just reinforce my blinkered echo chamber. This is probably true for many Haskell, Rubyist, Go people and others as well.

By heart, I would have guessed 20% Scala usage, but in my head, I do know of the floods of javascript misuse across the world, the legions of java developers in every country and location, having been one myself once. And I guess my current location of London which I feel use Scala more than most places and mixing a lot with startups does affect my expectations of what everyone else use elsewhere.

> It's not how real science works most of the time.

If you define science as "what scientists do", sure.

But if you define science as "knowledge about the world that you can acquire by reason", you need it to be falsifiable; otherwise reason can't tell apart knowledge from invention.
"Observation contradicting previous knowledge" is literally the point of experimentation. If gravity were to do such a thing, either A) it was indistinguishable from random chance and we incorporate a concept of uncertainty into our understanding of gravity (which has actually happened), or B) it'd be reproducible and we'd... update our understanding of gravity (which has also actually happened). In neither case do we receive information we can use to determine "meddling".
That was my takeaway too. If you ever had to change a spelling error in the front-end of a devopsy-style tool, then chances are you wrote some javascript, and bam: top of the list.
and any a priori meddling would be indistinguishable from 'the Standard Model, i.e. that's just how physics works'
StackOverflow is more tilted towards "dark matter developers"[1] than many other places - the unseen, the unheralded, those that are toiling away at LOB apps inside of companies. Often they're using PHP or Java or C#, or god help them, Visual Basic, still. Those are not necessarily the kind of people that are going to be seen at dev conferences, but there is a huge number of them, and they use StackOverflow hard.

A team consisting of four people. Is this really a problem? It's probably just a bunch of friends that decided to try an idea.

I love VSCode, have been using it before it was 1.0 version, but sadly, it is always "using significant energy" in Mac, same is the case with every. other. editor. except vim!!

Even I can't believe that MS is running a famous FOSS project and they actually listen to users, times are great :-)

Still, vim = awesome.

I would like to argue that a microservice architecture is frequently a response to the scalability limits of traditional databases. Decomposing a monolith into multiple services (with each service interacting with only its own database) is essentially a form of vertical partitioning. It's a way to delay sharding.

Microservices are nice, but they seem like a heavyweight way to "force" module boundaries to exist. Potentially, if database technologies improve, there might not be a need to split up a monolith until much later on.
It's a vapid complaint used by people who want to feel superior without actually contributing anything to the project.
As a web dev these days I feel like we have it the easiest:

If you want to do mobile, try making it a PWA. If it needs to be in the app store (which these days I often see portrayed as more of a necessary evil than something desirable) go hybrid. If hybrid is too slow, try React Native or NativeScript. All of these can build on your existing knowledge of web technologies.

If you want a desktop app, you probably don't actually want a desktop app anyway, so just build a decent web app. If you need something that runs outside the browser, use Electron. Or React Windows if you only target the UWP.

If you want to build something on the server-side, there's of course Node.js. If you want something more tightly integrated with the database try ArangoDB. Again, same language you already know.

There are still niches where you need the raw performance of specialised programs written in other languages than JS, of course, but they are growing smaller. It's basic economics: if you can hire two full-stack JS devs instead of one iOS, Android, Windows and back-end dev each, you can cover the same technologies with half the salaries. This is especially true if the specialists end up doing mostly busy work because you don't actually need their specialised expertise all the time.

Few companies can afford to have all these dedicated specialists on the team but they may still want to cover multiple markets (e.g. an app for desktop and Android). In this case going for the web is the obvious choice for the smaller budget. The alternative would be hiring multiple contractors or outsourcing the project to a company that has the resources to provide all of the needed specialists all the time.
There was a while a few years back where a MBP running Windows 7 was one of the better* laptop choices out there.

The last two teams I've worked with have all had Macs, even though at least half the team were writing .NET in Windows.

Then there's my main personal laptop which couldn't get the latest Mac OS so I just wiped it and installed Linux. I wouldn't do that to my daily work machine though, too many little things just don't work quite correctly, but all in all it installed pretty easily and runs less sluggish than OS X did.

* Better as in good hardware, consumer appeal, and a relatively performant and stable machine for getting work done. Not necessarily best value or gaming, etc.

Author without even knowing it described common microservice architecture problems that are faced in front-end. (Because in microservices front-end is consuming API and is usually a SPA)

- The single point of fragility

Yeah, if you have an js error in your syntax the whole front-end application will not work.

- Slow CI

Actually the front-end nowadays is the bottleneck of any CI if it is using React/Angular2 because of all the tree-shaking and optimizations. It can take a good 8 minutes to build, optimize, tree-shake, AOT etc. a modern SPA application.

- Slow development cycles

This has nothing to do with monoliths whatsoever. If your codebase is crap it doesn't matter if it's microservices or monolith.

Anyway, I digress since this is a textbook Mary blog article.

Not sure if trolling or... but fwiw at Stack Overflow's SRE team we use Go a _lot_. We just open-sourced our latest tool written in Go, DNSControl (https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/), and we have dozens of internal tools and software written in Go.

Not to mention other open-source tools like Grafana, InfluxDB, or Cockroachdb.

I agree with you that Java and JavaScript will reign supreme for years to come. Just pointing out that not all of us think that's a good thing, and there is plenty of variety out there, in the real world.
Why is it even worth pointing out there team has no women? The original "call out" tweet was very snarky.

There are 9 staff, not including a few advisors. So its probably the case that they all knew each other before the comapny existed. If there were no women in their lab, theres not much they can do about that.

What would the correct response be? "Sorry we didn't know any women when we started, we shouldnt have done anything until the right quota of women showed up."

Should they fire and replace 4 staff with women or just hire 9 women even though they might not have enough revenue to do so?

ODBII regulations for Highway Vehicles are what prevents the bulk of it today. ODBII does not apply to non-road vehicles like Tractors.

However Automanufacturers are moving anything that is not required by ODBII (which was passed in 1996 so it very out dated) to CANBUS and disallowing 3rd parties access. This makes is harder for Independent shops to service some of the non-mechanical parts of the car like the GPS, Radio, power seats, etc
We wanted to start with something simple and intuitive, and since we're not doing indexing yet, we figured complex multi-selectors are an overkill at this stage. What we chose is basically the most rudimentary subset of JsonPath.

Once we'll add indexing I'm guessing the path expressions will need to become more complicated, and we'll try to choose a "standard" and stick with it.

I do think it is possible to make create a company with properties mentioned in dhh's article that have novel technical challenges. I used to think that only consumer startups can have it because only there you get users and traffic. ITA software and Akamai comes to mind. In fact, scaling a consumer product is fairly common knowledge (every app except Whatsapp and Facebook is sharding databases, adding a cache line to it and going through roughly the same steps).

If you can make a good product for businesses that requires solving a problem only made soluble with recent technology advances (for example, multicores, reduced latency gap of RAM and flash storage), then you never need to worry about monetisations strategies, VCs, exits and other things. Maybe you need but it will be like dessert after dinner rather than salt in Indian food.

This is why you use configuration management tools. We have a similar architecture, with dozens of deployments for customers; upgrades are just a single command that changes some configuration, and puppet does the rest. Until something goes wrong, 100 servers are no harder to upgrade than 1.
Use caution. The multi-instance monolith approach can run into a nasty obstacle at a certain point when you want the business a very, very large customer who does need all that interaction within their own service. If you've been doing your scaling on shared resources the whole time, then you'll be far better equipped to handle it and the code is less likely to be broken.

(Also, even short of complete scalability failure, things like maintaining proper redundancy on a per-customer basis can be a major pain point.)

Of course the only real way to get these tradeoffs right is a very good understanding of your problem space.
The graphic type use to show performance is inappropriate because line slopes have no significant meaning. A bar graph would be more appropriate.
Just because something is falsifiable doesn't mean you shouldn't ever believe it. It merely means you have to decide whether to believe it, it's negation, or neither, based on no evidence.

Keep in mind that most of mathematics isn't falsifiable either. Although I suppose it actually might be, unless it is consistent.
