While thinking back to when I was first learning about microservice architecture, I recall a few related subjects that I had come across such as asynchronous/connectionless messaging. The idea is that many areas of the system can operate independently of the client that invoked them. In other words, if I …
A break from coding to document a dream. I thought it was interesting maybe not so much for the content so much as the detail. I remember exact images, times, thoughts, and words. I was in Hawaii (where I grew up) with a close friend of mine, Tasia. We drove …
So we’re in the middle of testing Snowflake as a data warehouse solution and in addition to testing out it’s performance and general experience, I wanted to make sure that I was going to be able to communicate with it from a .net core application. Right off the bat, a …
So the problem to solve today is environments as it comes to the event store implementation. Currently, we have 3 different environments, prod, qa, and dev. In true essence of COMPLETELY BLASPHEMY, the previous implementation had a single database that was used for all environments which is just… omg. That’s …
So we went with event store (geteventstore.com) and so far, it’s working pretty well out of the box, but I think we’re already starting to deal with some of the issues that come with event sourcing which is making sure that events are being processed in the right order. The …
The neat thing about this project is that it’s greenfield but… not. We understand our domain pretty well and we have an existing system to use as a reference, we just need to bring the system up to date with technology and practices. So obviously, rebuilding a system isn’t something …
So a few months ago, we got a new CTO that came to us from eBay and Amazon. His vision? Rejuvenate the software vision and maybe even convert us from an agency with a tech department to a tech company with some agency services. First order of business? Re-build the …
So we were getting a bit frustrated with some of the popular log tailing solutions out there. Nothing *quite* fit what we needed so I decided to roll my own. I did it in .Net 4.5.1 using C# 6.0 and modern practices. Hope you like it! http://dasjestyr.github.io/swifttailer/
I responded to this question on reddit. I just wanted to archive this here —————————————– It is a puzzle that will never be fully solved, and a discipline that you will never master because its “mastery” in this field is purely subjective. I think it’s more about competency and flexibility …
I think that the topic of short-circuiting is an under-appreciated one. In short, short-circuiting is simply ending an evaluation the instant it becomes false:
|
1 2 3 |
if(2 < 1 && 1 == 1) { /* stuff */ } if(2 > 1 || 1 == 1) { /* stuff */ } |
In this example, the second condition doesn’t get evaluated in either case. In the first example, the compiler sees that both conditions have to be …
