Let’s do this!

Apparently today’s the day I try to figure out if I can bring up my own Kubernetes cluster from scratch. I’m terrified.
git pus is one of my grosser typos lately.
I started going through the Elixir tutorial last night. This is a very cool language with interesting ideas. Processes seem like a really cool way to model state.
Is it just me or are the Archie plots in Riverdale always the worst?
Never in my life would I have predicted that Elon Musk would go this far off the rails. You couldn’t write this into a TV show and have it be even remotely believable.

Destroying those first two things is half the point of single payer; it’s a feature!
Loading tweet…A big gap in Swift right now is I/O. Seems like there should be a good protocol-based solution for it, but it’s not there right now: everything is in Foundation, and it doesn’t feel super-Swifty.
Got my Scrabble keycaps and they look amazing. Once I’m less sick, I’ll take a good picture and post it.
Note to self: for future conferences, pack lighter.
GitHub Universe did totally get me sick, so I’m going to have to be sick on a plane and that sounds like no fun.
It’s been an awesome few days getting to hang out with my fellow builders at GitHub Universe!

If you’re at GitHub Universe, stop by the Travis CI lounge and say hi!
Yesss!

This new twenty one pilots album is really good, and only getting better with more listens.
I’ll be there, come say hi!
Loading tweet…I’m slowly but surely cobbling together a Fastlane setup for distributing a Mac app on Travis CI. Learning many lessons along the way. This is really painful, though: there’s a lot of opportunity to make this so much easier.
I had no idea how few resources are out there for distributing Mac apps in a CI/CD workflow. Everything is for iOS!
It seems to be completely random whether Ctrl-C in docker-compose will (a) stop the containers, (b) kill the containers, or (c) abort docker-compose entirely. Wat?
Muffins are just getting away with eating literal cake for breakfast.
Today is a Terraform and Docker kind of day.
I don’t really have anything to add. Please vote next month, it’s literally the least we can do.

Using Stripe Checkout in an Elm 0.19 App
I’m currently working on a web project whose frontend is written in Elm. The project uses Stripe for handling payments. I ❤️ Stripe: it makes billing much easier for me and lets me mostly focus on the more unique aspects of the project.
For now, I’m using Stripe Checkout, the simplest way to get payment details into Stripe. With Stripe Checkout, Stripe’s JavaScript creates the form for getting payment details from the user, and it shows that form in a modal window over your page. When the user submits the form, it talks to Stripe, gives you a token representing the payment details, and sends that to an endpoint on your server.
Finished Ancillary Sword the other day and I gotta say it was way more exciting than Ancillary Justice. That world and it’s characters took an entire book to warm up, and then book 2 got to be this amazing thrill ride. Loved it!
How I fixed my Apache SSL redirect
Today, I finally fixed a longstanding issue with this website. I figured it would be a good idea to document it since I could not find this solution in any of my Googling to try to figure out what was wrong.
mattmoriarity.com is canonically served over SSL, but it’s supposed to have a redirect from plain HTTP URLs to the corresponding HTTPS URL. For a long time now, if you went to http://mattmoriarity.com, instead of getting redirected, you would get a nice big 403 Forbidden error from my Apache server.
I forgot how obnoxious Andy is on The Office when he’s introduced to the show.
I couldn’t look away.

Every single app uses way too much memory. All of them. Every single one.
Feeling pretty bad at computers when I can’t even make Go copy a file correctly.
Update: Turns out that Go puts the arguments to copy with the destination first. Since Files are readers and writers, getting them backwards is not a type error.
Oh no! Elm 0.19 automatically converts script tags to p tags in its virtual DOM, which totally broke my Stripe Checkout button. I don’t see a way around it, so I think I have to switch to using ports and Stripe.js for the payment form.
I started a little early on this trend. I love this accent color addition in Mojave!

Two weeks ‘till GitHub Universe!
It took me half a day but I managed to upgrade my Elm app to Elm 0.19. I had to ditch some dependencies along the way, but honestly it’s better for it in the end.
