Does this mean Spring Boot for example has to be spun up and reinitialise itself for every request?

renke1 · 2 years ago

Function instances should stay alive for a certain amount of time. But you will pay the cold start price one way or another, so naively using Spring Boot is probably not a good idea. Spring Boot Native might help here, but I haven't tried it yet.

renke1 commented on Piet: Programming language in which programs look like abstract paintings (2002) dangermouse.net/esoteric/... · Posted by u/andsoitis

renke1 · 2 years ago

We had a small course in university on esoteric programming language. Each of us had to select a language (Brainfuck, Piet and a few others) and play around with it. I chose Piet and had a lot of fun with it, but to be honest, my small example application was not really aesthetically pleasing. I guess you have to be a Piet expert to make art with it.

Looks interesting. Does anyone have a good example that uses Client Components?

The best thing is that it does not seem to hard to extend KOReader to your liking (e.g. by writing plugins). On the other hand, I've had a hard time understanding the the actual Lua code (most likely because of my lack of experience using Lua though!).

What's really missing is a good way to browser by metadata (e.g. author, series or even your own custom tags). However, there seem to be some progress here [0].

An important feature to me is being able to ignore epub's CSS rules and embedded fonts that are otherwise enforced.

renke1 · 2 years ago

I do often use this feature but sometimes fear I missing out because of some deliberate decisions by the author. Not sure if that worry is really warranted.

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Also got a few print issues of Lapham's Quarterly, so checking those out.

renke1 · 2 years ago

Seveneves was really good. Almost feeling the urge to read it again!

I’m reading two very interesting books right now.

- Designing Data Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann; comprehensive study on data models.

- 9 Pints by Rose George; it’s 9 stories/anecdotes about blood. Supremely enjoyable non-fiction writing.

renke1 · 2 years ago

Designing Data Intensive Applications is really good, because it gives you an good overview of data systems. I had the feeling I don't have to understand all the details yet I would learn a lot.

Are there other books like this?

My own name is actually only used in the very country I live in. Unexpectedly, my daughter's name is apparently also used in Arabic countries, it means something like "Gift from Allah".

renke1 · 2 years ago

Although I had absolute no idea what I was doing when we played around with Agda in university, it was kind of fun constructing a few very basic proofs. It kind of felt like smashing some buttons until it worked. The Emacs integration with all the Unicode goodness was really something.

Developer's dont write tests if writing tests is hard. Simple as that. If writing tests is hard because you never invested in setting up a good test infrastructure with helpful utilities, you fucked up. If writing tests is hard because your architecture is a cluster fuck of mixed responsibilities, you fucked up.

renke1 · 2 years ago

The worst thing is how often developers almost fatalistically accept that testing sucks. I don't blame them though because improving the test infrastructure has little short-term business value or so they say.
