better caches with rethinkdb

TL;DR - smelly software engineer discusses using rethinkdb changefeeds for building caches, breaks hearts, shaves the cheerleader, shaves the world.

Let's talk about caches.

Imagine that you build UIs for an ecommerce company, possibly in a fancy office with free coffee and whatnot. You've just been asked to build a way for the marketing / sales folks to change landing pages whenever they're running campaigns. After a number of angry discussions involving the ux team about what they can and cannot change, you settle on a 'document' format for these pages. It could be json describing a tree of widgets of banners and carousels, or html, or yaml, or whatever. Maybe you also invent a dsl that marks out parts of the document as dynamic, based on request parameters or something. I dunno, I'm not your boss. You build a little ui over the weekend (with react? maybe!) that lets these folks login, drag and drop their banners, maybe upload an image or two, and save to database.

Descartes, Berkeley and Functional Reactive Programming

By @dmvaldman

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is generating buzz as an alternative to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) for certain use cases. However, an internet search quickly leads a curious and optimistic reader into the rabbit-hole of monads, functors, and other technical jargon. I’ve since emerged from this dark and lonely place with the realization that these words are mere implementation details, and that the core concepts are far more universal. In fact, the groundwork was laid down many centuries before the first computer, and has more to do with interpretations of reality, than structuring programs. Allow me to explain.

There’s an old thought experiment that goes like this:

Experimental Relay Implementation

Features:

• Relay.fetch(graphqlQuery) returns subscribtion that could change over time by mutation queries.
• Relay.update(m: UpdateMutation) optimistically updates resource in all previous queries that contains updated resource.
• Relay.update(m: DeleteMutation) optimistically deletes resource from all previous queries that contains deleted resource.
• Relay.update(m: CreateMutation) pessimistically creates resource and executes again all previous queries.
• All objects with id key in graphql response explained as resources. Arrays, objects without id and scalars explained as static properties.

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

if you want to log the call parameters for function xyz, add this is the first line of xyz:

function xyz(p1, p2) {
    debugFunctionCall('xyz', arguments);
    ...
}

then if you call
