What's the best Windows app signing service these days? I'm launching a desktop app soon and it's hard to determine what's best. Do you have services or techniques that you recommend? #programming #flutter #apps

Most backend work isn't product logic. It's orchestration and glue code.

I wrote a quick post that shows how Rama eliminates all that glue code and sprawl by building the same app with Postgres and with Rama: "Rama in five minutes"

Are any other daily desktop #linux users just getting outright blocked from using many websites now? Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot, and many others now say "You don't have permission to access [SITE] on this server".

Are corporations just gatekeeping the entire internet now?

@pim_brouwers @falco_framework I just stood up a small API with Falco a week ago. It was a great experience and it's a really nice framework that I plan to use again in the future. Super clean!

After working with #Clojure for 8 years the language still continues to impress me at every turn. As I get better it gets better. I am faster, more precise in my thinking, and can muster ever more clear mental models with every project I take on thanks to its many merits!

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

Why is so much of modern writing just 'authors' stringing anecdata about what other people did and popular gotcha quotes together? Who is actually saying anything worthwhile?

I've had to put reading down almost altogether because I simply can't find good non fiction content.

@GeoDanila @FastFSharp I've only played Linux specific steam games. Pop!_OS is Ubuntu based and because of that its gaming support is getting a lot better

@petecheslock After having a painful time seeing the light with Kubernetes I realized that the main reason is that the terms it uses for its many artifacts are divorced from accepted and existing serviceable ones that I already had a mental model for. A total ball of yarn in other words.

Ideas are prototypical tools.

This will definitely work first try

Finally using #rustlang for a project in earnest and things are really clicking now. Using GPT4 to keep the stuck->search->progress loop tight has been an incredible accelerant for learning the language quickly!

I'm looking for a good websocket server library for #clojure ! Any recommendations?

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

Have you or someone you know ever had the need to be able to produce and consume off of a queue owned by another organization or company?

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

I'm faced with a problem where I need to put up to 50k+ repos of static code artifacts each of at least ~1GB in size in some sort of source control. My immediate and naive thought was to just use git but it struck me as a bad fit. Any thoughts on other solutions?

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

If you are looking to try a different Linux distro definitely check out Pop_OS from System76! Really high quality distro that is geared towards engineering. Has a lot of great features and doubled my laptop's battery life to boot!

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

@danielglauser Great point to remember! I'm still a Clojure nut through and through but the project I'm working on calls for client libraries that don't have Clojure implementations and Golang ones are readily available. I'm just sharing that I was quite impressed on some of Go's features

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

Ok I am totally sold on #golang : I just started a really complex event driven web service I wrote in 3 days for the first time and its been running without error for 40 minutes at 5x the rate my Clojure implementation while using only 20mb of memory vs 1.5 GB! Simplicity wins.

[Jared Nelsen @JaredNelsen]

I am thoroughly impressed with #golang ! I completely rewrote my #clojure implemenation of my project which involves a lot of very hairy concurrency in golang and it is measurably 5 times faster. I love Clojure so much but #golang is definitely a great new tool I can use now!
