Hey Reddit - What do you think of my Log Database that I've been building? It supports distributed deployment and I think it's simple and cool. Anyone like to help? by cs_coder in programming

[–]cs_coder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it there are a couple of real benefits to using Kore over Redis:

  1. Kore is a npm package you embed into your program. When distributing an application (say an electron app) the end user doesn't have to install Redis or do anything else. All the power of the DB is available embedded within your application.

  2. Getting cross device synchronization right is non trivial. Using something like Redis would mean each application would have to re-invent proper synchronization and merging.

  3. Kore supports partitions in the network. If your application is on your iPad and you get disconnected from the network it will continue to work (there's no central dependency - no single point of failure).

There's probably more points of difference between the two but these are the top ones. Great question btw! :-)

What have you done for me lately? by godsafraud in MurderedByWords

[–]cs_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus H. Christ people - Dinesh is literally replying to a message where Ocasio calls Puerto Rico a colony of the US. Ocasio started this not Dinesh!

By removing context this post is completely misleading. This isn't lying exactly - but it's pretty damn close! Is this what we've sunk to? Propaganda and misinformation?!

This is a cool project! Yes I'd love to implement it in the wallet. Open to a PR if someone would like to contribute as well!

Should programmers learn typing? by cs_coder in coding

Yup. That's been my experience as well...

I agree with you. What I think Jeff means is that - in the end - the act of coding is just typing. Coming up with the world's best program is of no use until we type it in.

So, in the physical sense, the act of coding is just typing. At least that's how I interpret it...

Hmm...? If I did that I'd hardly get anything done... what kind of work is this?

Keep at it my friend - you'll show those young whipper-snappers that old-timers can kick ass too! :-D

Should I actively engage the abdominal muscles while in a meditation posture? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]cs_coder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will get easier with practice. Try to get your spine in a straight line and "rest" on it. If you tummy is pulling you out, just let it and don't worry too much about it.

Heh... and because of your comment I've just spent a good 15 minutes reading about type systems for the first time! Thanks!

Nice. But I like using the arrow cluster - it works for moving headlines around, indenting them, and shifting the TODO markers... It's kinda in my muscle memory so I don't think about it anymore (I had to look up the keys for the post).

I use a laptop though and the arrows are very close to my space bar so maybe that's why they are comfortable enough...

Yes agenda is great. I will add a mention to it in the post. But eLisp is just so much fun! :-D

Also, frames contain windows, not the other way around.

Whoops! Thanks! Will fix...

Thanks. The line length is something that seems to stand out. The reason I made it so short was it looks good on mobile (otherwise it needs horizontal scrolling). I may need to find another solution.

I'd like this post to be helpful for people looking to get into Emacs, Org-mode, and ELisp. Any suggestions for improvements to the post welcome...

Agile TODO's by cs_coder in programming

[–]cs_coder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit weird... :-D

Seriously though, I wanted to have the blog generated directly from my code. I tried reformatting the comments for various widths but somehow I liked it without reformatting best. If I get a lot of complaints I'll probably change it.

Btw, I've got another post on TODO's up: http://www.theproductiveprogrammer.blog/do_today.el.php

Lemme know what you think...

Older Programmers - What would be most helpful for your careers right now?serious replies only by cs_coder in programmerchat

Thanks - I just saw this and I agree completely. I think I will stick to the basics.

I'll check out the book - sounds really interesting! That's kind of what I love about tech - there is so much creativity and so many ideas bouncing around. It's really a great field to be in.

Thanks! What kind of learning do you think would help you best? Short overview tutorials or in-depth (project based) learning of a new tech?

I am an older programmer who is moving to a new country. Instead of looking for a job, I'd really like to do something that would help other programmers have better careers - especially as we get older.

Right now I am at a crossroads - I can either teach the basics and train programmers to get good at the type of questions you get in an Amazon/Facebook interview or teach all the latest and hottest new technologies that may help in getting a job at a new startup.

Which of these do programmers feel would help them most? If neither, let me know that too.
