Yeah, but you must know about them and the possible bug first in order to allow them...

New comment by nesarkvechnep in "The new HTTP QUERY method explained"

This is just HTTP. The definitive guide to REST is "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures" by Roy Fielding.

Obviously, yes, but is it simpler to add a new HTTP method and add support for it everywhere?

I still don't get the need for QUERY. One can create a search or filter resource with a POST request and then query it using GET. As a bonus, creating a resource allows it to be shared and cached.

There's no such thing as REST spec. The closes mechanism to actual REST is to create a resource using POST and then query it using GET. You have the added benefit of the resource being cacheable.

It's probably what they know so not anything new should be learned.

Ah, sorry, it wasn't /dev/udp but socat - echo "hello" | socat - UNIX-SENDTO:/path/to/socket.

I find /dev/udp much more useful. I can create aliases for fire and forget commands to my daemons without actually writing *ctl program.

I did the same but with Nix.

Thank you for the clarification. I guess authors these days assume they don't need to state the Unix flavour they're talking about.

As a student I used to work as a network administrator in the summer breaks. The place had a very nice library of technical books. I had the pleasure to read "Database Design for Mere Mortals" there, in the hours when work was slow.

New comment by nesarkvechnep in "Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language"

nesarkvechnep — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:26:21 +0000

The disagreement is on Ecto schemas used to represent databases tables from the persistence layer to the UI. Of course, use changesets to normalise user input but using the same schemas everywhere is a sign of immaturity as a developer. You really sound like someone who only does CRUD services. Real world is often more complex.

nesarkvechnep — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:15:47 +0000

Yeah, one of the worst practices. I've been working with Elixir professionally for 6 years now and I still see this sh*t everywhere. Bad APIs, bad UIs because someone coupled themselves to the database structure and can't escape. List of memberships? Keep them as a list with the same fields as the junction table. Top-level APIs taking maps with string keys as "params" so they can very easily be cast for a changeset.

Not at all. It’s used to build standard web applications too.

nesarkvechnep — Sun, 24 May 2026 21:33:28 +0000

Why not Erlang?

It's is great in everything which requires talking to and/or listening on a socket. It's amazing for writing and running daemons.

nesarkvechnep — Sun, 24 May 2026 08:56:44 +0000

I did the same integration with an Erlang daemon. All relevant key presses are sent to it and based on the current focused application the daemon does different things. I built an Erlang library i3_IPC to listen for events and send commands to Sway.

nesarkvechnep — Sun, 24 May 2026 05:20:09 +0000

Thank you for the lecture but I didn’t mean that. I meant `Either String String` is possible in Haskell and not in C# because… C# is strongly-typed.

I guess C# is more strongly-typed than Haskell then... /s
