    Quantum computing in the financial world
    José Diogo avatar

    José Diogo · February 2021

    With Quantum Computing we are in a similar phase as Engineers and Computer Scientists were in the '40s or '50s, developing the first classical computers. I don't believe that quantum computers can fully replace our classical ones, but they surely will have a major role in our lives in the future, and we are just at the beginning. →

    Simulations with Elixir and the Actor Model A simulation of a game, weather, aerodynamic behavior, or any other action, has intrinsically the same goal - take a peek into the future and see how things will perform in real life. These simulations all require an extent of calculations and variables to take into account, but also a model that will elegantly run through them. Here we'll see how to use Elixir and the Actor Model in an example simulation. →

  • Sunrise with flying ducks
    Hello, World! Finiam hit the road running and time truly flew by. As we end 2020, we look back at what happened in the first year of the company and the last couple of months and noticed that somewhere along the road we forgot to introduce ourselves. →

  • A table from Airtable
    Next.js and Airtable: a tale of empowering no-code tools Back in June, we received a request to help build a website for an academic non-profit organization (our friends at AAUM), in Braga, Portugal. They needed a website to help spread awareness of the MinhoCovid19 movement, a group of people trying to supply organizations in need (nursery homes, hospitals, etc) with protective materials built by volunteers. →

  • A grounded derelict plane
    Refactoring or: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Live with Chaos I will be completely transparent and start by saying that this blogpost itself has been rewritten a couple of times since its original idea. Given the topic we are going to discuss, it seems fitting that that happened. In the beginning of 2019, we took over a Rails project. On the surface, it looked like a typical Rails app with an integration to a payment service. The fun began when we started to take a closer look at the codebase. →

  • Our cryptobrands website
    Cryptocurrency brands need to say Hello more often When I read this I realised he’s absolutely right. Why are cryptocurrency brands in general so far behind in the technology industry? I am a graphic designer who slowly migrated to the technological industry, more recently to the financial sector (finiam) →

  • A rails code sample
    Reactive Rails applications with StimulusReflex A while ago I made a blog post about the modern web with just Rails (and a few other things). Today I'm going to explore another way of doing awesome things with Rails, in the spirit of the modern, reactive, and real-time, web. Let's explore StimulusReflex, an extension to the amazing library made by Basecamp, to make server-side reactive applications. →

  • An assortment of various spices
    Spicing up your Rails frontend experience Rails is great. You can still check DHH's 15-minute blog demo and just appreciate the combination of features and ease of use of the framework. Even though there are even easier ways to make a blog nowadays (cough cough Gatsby), Rails is still a rock-solid choice for crafting digital products. →

  • A plate of pasta
    Let’s slim down on Javascript The ancient narrative of "Javascript bloat" is ever-present in the tech world. Web developers love Javascript, backend developers hate it and end-users usually don't give a damn about it as long as websites open fast, work as they should, and do not spy on them. Still, web pages have way too much Javascript, especially SPAs, that could be avoided with just a few tips. Let's see how. →
