I listened to https://bikeshed.thoughtbot.com/470 in the weekend. There was a fair amount of talking about judoscale, but there was also some interesting stuff in there about measuring queue performance. A couple of key takeaways for me: It seemed like a really good suggestion to me was to name queues by their SLA, rather than their purpose - for example, instead...
title: Connecting to a locally-running app with Hotwire Native category: TIL – I’ve just started a new Hotwire Native application. The Getting Started docs for Android use a deployed domain name, so while the demo app worked just fine, I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to connect to my locally-running web app from an Android emulator. In...
In Rails controllers, it’s pretty common to redirect somewhere when an action is completed. Sometimes this location is unknown, and therefore straightforward. Other times I just want to redirect ‘back’ - wherever that might have been - redirect_back(fallback_location: wherenver_path) is perfect for that. Occasionally though, I’ll want to determine the next path from the caller - often this will be...
This little technique is a great example of how simple *nix utilities can be (mis)used to accomplish some interesting things: (echo "./deploy.sh" && cat && exit && exit) | \ aws ssm start-session --target $INSTANCE_ID This: Echos the command into the shell session once started (echo "./deploy.sh" - obviously whatever command you want to run goes here) Runs cat to...
I think this is neat - very succinct. This controller expects an input that calls formatOnSubmit on input, which removes invalid chracters, strips the input (e.g. of spaces), and then automatically submits it. Works great with pasting, manually typing, and provides fast feedback to users. import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus"; export default class extends Controller { static targets =...
I’ve just open sourced a reference implementation of native iOS Google sign-in using Hotwire Native. I developed this flow when building Virtualtrails, where I wanted to support both web and native authentication flows for Google Sign-in. Using Hotwire for this worked great - when native support is available, it’s automatically used. When not, it falls back to a web-based OAuth...
I’ve been working this week on Trove (Github, Docs). Trove is meant to be a self-hosted system that can store arbitrary (but schema validated) JSON data, files, and relationships between events. By events I mean things like: Bookmarks Photos I like Colours/patterns I’ve seen out and about that I like Storypark updates (from daycare/school) etc. Basically all the digital miscellanery...
I’m trying out OpenNext with Cloudflare. One kind of annoying thing already I’ve run into is that libraries that use cross-fetch end up running into errors, because OpenNext patches the deployment package enough that cross-fetch tries to use Node libraries, when actually it can just use native fetch. In the case I ran into, I could work around this by...
I tried to get to Eastern Hutt Hut on Friday. Didn’t quite make it, just because I’d committed to a half day rather than full day trip, but it seemed doable. I turned around here with 2km to go, it took me 2 hours to get there after biking over from Kaitoke on the 4WD road - 1 hour biking,...
Just a quick tip! If you’re like me, you start with just one or two tabs (or tmux panes), and things get more and more disorganised as the day goes on. If you need to restart your Rails server quickly, and don’t feel like hunting out your Rail server terminal, no worries! Just running bin/rails restart will signal the server...
