NOTE: Originally published on March 23rd, 2019 Lately I've had the time to think about logging in microservices. There seem to be a lot of options, but after looking at them I felt that the open source community around SRE isn't as mature as I thought it would be. What I mean by this is that the most common options seem to require a lot of configuration and require at least some sort of deep dive into the documentation just to get a simple central point for microservice logs. Since ...

NOTE: Originally published on July 2nd, 2018 Disclaimer: this is not a package for React Native. The name refers to the native HTML element. Lately in a project I wanted to make a progressive web app with a mobile-friendly UI with React. All was fine and dandy until I wanted to use native HTML form elements due to their good, integrated user experience with mobile devices. You see, the HTML standard wasn't exactly made for handling JSON or any other structured data format. For example, o...

I had been eyeing Nix for a while, intrigued by the possibility to deterministically define dependencies to projects et cetera. Then, at the end of 2021 I found out about home-manager, which is a way to manage your standard development environment setup with Nix – It's like any dotfiles repo you've ever seen, but better.InstallationFirst, we install Nix to accommodate for home-manager (I recommend everyone to read all the output and not just blindly answer* yes *to every choice):sh ...

Lately ConsenSys announced that they will be logging each user’s IP addresses who use Infura as their default RPC on Metamask. RPC or remote procedure call is the “backend” server you use for communicating with blockchain networks for both inbound (loading transactions) and outbound (submitting transactions) interactions. Since ConsenSys is a company that’s located in the US, their move is not surprising given the constant regulatory uncertainty, and Infura has made promises to decentralize i...

NOTE: Originally published on January 8th, 2020. Little did the writer know what was about to hit the fan. :) I’ve also since then learned that memory metals are pretty vital in some areas, but rarely seen by the average consumer. I was very fond of information-heavy pictured books that resembled Wikipedia articles when I was young. (This happened around the change of the millenium, btw.) Through those I learned about dinosaurs, volcanoes, inner workings of the earth, our solar system, world ...

Stitches is a composable styling library for JS that is a great alternative for CSS modules, since components styled with Stitches can be extended with “inline” styles using the css prop, or be used to define other, further Stitches styled components.<Button css={{ background: "green" }}>Entertainment</Button> Due to the composable nature of Stitches I was pretty bummed to find out that not a lot of documentation exists concerning composing Stitches components out of existing React ...
