Building a floorplan format which should be convertible to a visual SVG and back. Wondering if defining my own schema to represent the layout of a venue is a good idea or not or if I should simply embed everything into an SVG to maintain flexibility with minimal work.Are you using XML with XSD and XSLT and for which purpose?
Having stumbled upon Git Flow and the wonders of monorepos, I do wonder how to best implement a Git Flow like branching strategy for the monorepo. Branching fundamentally seems to fit better for polyrepos or repos with a single project. Have you come up with a branching strategy for monorepos and if so, what is it?
One of the arguments, as far as I understand for the BDD verbosity is that fact that the requirements are easy to communicate with customers and so therefore would be more precise in going from defining requirements to actually building the right thing. How true do you find this?
Recently stumbled upon BDD and the process of describing software from behaviour. I know there are seriously prolific software engineers amongst the Hacker News crowd and I could use a second opinion from within the industry.What are your thoughts on BDD in general, with everything included (Gherkin, Cucumber etc.). What benefits have you yourself experienced (if any) or perhaps disadvantages...
Usually moving from primitives into complex types does not account for serialization and deserialization between db and the client. This can be very annoying to work with in something like C#.
Usually it ends up resulting in alot more types and a lot more mapping between types.
However this has its own benefits, but is very boilerplate-y and is sluggish to work with when your domain changes.
Luckily, for C#, https://github.com/SteveDunn/Vogen now exists thanks to source code generators which soothes some of the issues.
Did you discover if pot had any effect on your "body battery" or not? I'm curious if it increases or decreases the quality.
I was under the illusion, for most of my life, that alcohol helped with sleep, until I did some research and found out it practically does the opposite. Or honestly, listened to the book "Why do we sleep" by Matthew Walker https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34466963-why-we-sleep. It is absolutely fascinating and worth a read/listen for anyone wondering what we know about sleep so far.
An interesting point from the book: For people that drink regularly for long stretches, they can end up with dreams literally spilling into reality because their brains never reaches deep REM due to the alcohol. It's fascinating. I've never reached that level personally. However I've heard anecdotes of people getting insanely vivid dreams after stretches of drinking.
My father did the same thing as you are doing. He's recently stopped. He's sharp as a knife again after a very short amount of time after years of being, which I can best describe as, out-of-sync with everything.
When I learned functional programming, in my head, classes suddenly became slightly worse versions of partially applied functions.
When I learned about state machines classes also now seems like a failed attempt at achieving the same thing.
I tend to stumble upon math expressions to describe some problem. I find it very frustrating that I have no reference for the strange symbols (to my eyes).Is there a reference for math like there are for programming languages? What do you do?
Google Analytics which has recently been made illegal in my country due to the GDPR data export rules, I'm having another look at how I can track usage of different features as well as user-traversals in my app.What analytics tools do you use, or would recommend to me, in order to get these insight?
Specifically I hadn't thought through an Order model and the OrderLines ended up being dependent directly on the product meaning through an FK. The orders wouldn't "settle" once they had been completed, since the product could be updated and change the values of the orderline and order. Dumb dumb. It was one of the cases where denormalizing data, very much, makes sense
If you've used validated learning or an experimental approach for your projects. How have you managed them and kept track of the learning learned along the way, without getting lost in the sheer amount of experiments and learning?I'm quickly getting lost in the experiments across multiple facets of my business, and would love some insights into how you guys are managing it.Cheers
Having stumbled upon some great articles about marketing, software, funding and other interests I've realized that I have no great way of organizing these resources. The best I've got is a jumbled mess of bookmarks, with no notes, I rarely look through.I ideally want a system that is great for personal resources in which I can add notes, personal thoughts and findings and that is easily...
Simple validation, like describing that a price cannot be below 0, I keep in the database. Email validation I keep on the app level.
It allows for easier deployments, easier debugging and it is easier to migrate to a different database should the need arise.
However both works.
