Interceptors Are Functions Too

I could not agree more with my colleague and friend Travis Johnson's opinion that "[INTERCEPTORS ARE SO COOL][iasc]!" In that post, he succinctly describes the [Interceptor pattern][pattern] as used adroitly by [OkHttp][okhttp]. But, as is often the case, I believe a complicated object-oriented pattern obscures the simple functional gem within it.

What is an Interceptor?

I'll quote liberally from [OkHttp's documentation on the topic][okhttp-interceptor]:

Interceptors are a powerful mechanism that can monitor, rewrite, and retry calls. […] >

An opinionated list of excellent Clojure learning materials

These resources (articles, books, and videos) are useful when you're starting to learn the language, or when you're learning a specific part of the language. This an opinionated list, no doubt. I've compiled this list from writing and teaching Clojure over the last 10 years.

Understanding Comparative Benchmarks

I'm going to do something that I don't normally do, which is to say I'm going to talk about comparative benchmarks. In general, I try to confine performance discussion to absolute metrics as much as possible, or comparisons to other well-defined neutral reference points. This is precisely why Cats Effect's readme mentions a comparison to a fixed thread pool, rather doing comparisons with other asynchronous runtimes like Akka or ZIO. Comparisons in general devolve very quickly into emotional marketing.

But, just once, today we're going to talk about the emotional marketing. In particular, we're going to look at Cats Effect 3 and ZIO 2. Now, for context, as of this writing ZIO 2 has released their first milestone; they have not released a final 2.0 version. This implies straight off the bat that we're comparing apples to oranges a bit, since Cats Effect 3 has been out and in production for months. However, there has been a post going around which cites various compar

Set Up a Haskell Development Environment in Three Steps

a Haskell Development Environment consist in a compiler (ghc), a language server (hls), a building tool (cabal or stack), and an editor compatible with the language server protocol.

The best way to have a coherent installation of these components is with the ghcup tool.

Step 1: Install GHCup. You'll be prompted to install some tools. Say yes to hls. Do not install stack yet (see below).
Step 2: Install vscode
Step 3: Open vscode and install the haskell extension either using the extension panel or pressing CTRL+P and ext install haskell.haskell.

`<script> async, defer, async defer, module, nomodule, src, inline` - the cheat sheet

This document is a comparison of various ways the <script> tags in HTML are processed depending on the attributes set.

If you ever wondered when to use inline <script async type="module"> and when <script nomodule defer src="...">, you're in the good place!

Note that this article is about <script>s inserted in the HTML; the behavior of <script>s inserted at runtime is slightly different - see Deep dive into the murky waters of script loading by Jake Archibald (2013)
