Yes! I am so excited by this. For those that don’t know, Phoenix is a UI framework for Elixir, which is a more productive flavor of Erlang (citation needed). If you think high reliability and a superb concurrency model is something that mig

I might answer “do you think Google does X” with ‘yes’ because I believe they do, and “do you expect Google to do X” with ‘no’ because I do not believe it would be right to do so. “Expect of” is often used to connote a kind of standard sett

I went to buy one last week. Apparently discontinued Jan 2019. I just missed the boat, and I am sad.

Did you miss the part where I said it has a negative economic impact on individuals, even though it may net more good to the collective as a whole? It’s a sort of free-rider problem, and I don’t fault any individual for playing the game.

Studying history seems like it would have immense value to society, but negative value to short-term corporate interests, and, by extension, may not be in the best interests of the individual. The same could be said of the study of ethics.

Easier to go down than up, and the people on your level will often try to make you feel bad for trying to move up and out. Good on you for escaping the trap. Props to your uncle for giving you tools to do it, hardass though he was.

Penny piles can’t be merged together and remain pennies. If you merge a pile of 6 and a pile of 3, you get one metal lump. I actually really like the point you are making, just feel like your illustration works against you.

The IRS already knows how much you should owe in most cases. They could send you a filled in tax form with spaces for corrections, and if looks right, you’d just send it back. This would require no changes to the tax code.

Oh please. He sounded quite grateful to archive.org. He sounds frustrated because the mobile application developers didn’t think that maybe double tapping a single pixel is extremely difficult to register on a touchscreen. The app dangles

Hey so I know this is n of 1 and off-topic, but as a liberal arts student, I went from music to signal processing to music theory to music analytics to generative music to software engineer. There can be a lot of STEM in non-STEM degrees. I

Well articulated. I’m sold. I retract my prior argument. “Guy” is not gender neutral. My apologies for encultured shallow thinking.

It’s a place you want to work? I’ve never done more than 3 interviews in a go, but I also only apply to jobs I really want.

Last time I went interviewing, that’s exactly what I did for the take home projects: hire a sitter.

“Guy” is also gender-neutral for me. When approaching other girls, my normal greeting is “hey guys!” Saying “hey gals!” is...an off-putting notion. “Gal” instantly conveys a long-gone era of disempowered women to me. In an era of non-binary

I have wanted this app since I first start preferring using mobile devices as audio-only rather than screen-first. Unfortunately, iOS and Android both seem to be further away from supporting that use-case OOTB than they were in 2013. Anyway

I think all of things you mention have value, but all of that information is (and in my setup, displayed inline) located in git. We keep ticketing, author, rational, and version changes, and you can walk through the changes with the tracked

At least from my perspective, the ROI is often negative. Lipstick looks varying degrees of clownish to me, and if I can’t see your pores you look like a robot. I don’t blame anyone for doing whatever makes them feel beautiful; I’m sure my c

Wow, people don’t like Finn? This is not sarcasm, I am truly surprised. I thought he was a fantastic rebirth of the Han Solo ethos. I love him.
