Ideally yes, this is true. Which is why I actively make that decision at times. However, if I don't make time later to pick up the slack, I don't feel like that's fair to my employer. If it's a quick task, it's not

This is true! I didn't really choose to WFH personally. Instead, the startup I work for decided to ditch the office and go fully-remote. It ended up working out better for me than others, and personality definitely plays a big role.

I am honestly concerned that I may be getting chronic ear issues from wearing noise-cancelling headphones constantly. Knowing that your family is right outside the door (and vice versa) is extremely challenging.

I agree with most of what you said. I'm not sure how the last idea would work in the long run, as much as it should in an idealistic sense. I definitely agree that working from the office is better for some people than others. However,

I think the key with working from home is learning to set up and maintain boundaries between home life and work life. I was working from home fulltime for well over a year prior to the pandemic. Prior to that, I went into an open office e

I tried using Notable for a while. I ended up sticking with Mark Text. I enjoy the more Bear-like WYSIWYG editor I can switch to for normal note taking.

Only use unpowered hand tools maybe. Unfortunately, using powered saws is always a little dangerous. Some table saws have a detection mechanism if it hits your flesh that causes it to hit the brakes immediately, but there aren't many o

It's apples and oranges. OTP paradigms are definitely intended for a larger system that needs its own distribution schemes, handles its own internal process uptime and restarts, and for some use cases, hot code updates (running servers

I use GitHub Pages and a static site generator like Hugo. It's a little more code, but this is Hacker News.

You can now enter manual account and routing numbers with Plaid and they will handle micro-deposit verification. They also now support 2FA for many banks. Plaid is definitely not great in some areas, but there really isn't a good alter

This is a lot easier because European banks all use similar APIs (as far as I've been informed). The US has no such bank API standardization in place. Most banks don't have APIs at all.

Does Python still have performance issues? That's always been my concern when considering its adoption.

What they don't show is how often it turns on when he doesn't want it to. That was probably a tough calibration to make for other manufacturers, especially when production smartwatches have much higher-resolution screens and proce

True in a lot of cases. However, Phoenix has major similarities to Ruby on Rails, and Elixir is often the functional language of choice for those moving away from RoR.

If you have a solid background in software development, it's not too hard to become proficient in Elixir in a few weeks. If you recruit good talent with a demonstrated proficiency and willingness to learn, you will be fine. If you need

I think the real killer feature of Elixir is that it is a friendly, Ruby-like language that gives you access to the underlying power of Erlang/OTP on the Beam VM. OTP (Open Telecom Platform) is a set of tools, libraries, and middleware

I use Elixir daily for the past 8 months, and I love it. For my personal projects, I use a great Heroku-like service called Gigalixir ( https://gigalixir.com/ ). No restarts or connection limits for the free tier, and it runs

I agree. If you emphasize too much, it feels like you're trying too hard to convince me, kind of like news headlines IN ALL CAPS.

I was also homeschooled, and it turned out pretty well for me, but knew people who had negative experiences. I think the main pro and con of homeschooling is that the parents have full control. As a parent, you can help your child advance b

Funny, I've gone down the same path. I enjoy woodworking quite a bit. One of the strangest things in a craft like woodworking (compared to software) is that once it's finished, it's finished. I built a table for our startup o

It's sobering to look at all these products and think about how developers poured thousands of hours into something that no longer exists.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm watching the talk you linked on Youtube right now and taking notes. I think I'm leaning more against doing a live demo at this point, but I may change my mind as I continue working on my demo mat

It sometimes includes screens, sometimes not. I usually sit in a coffee shop before work and read, pray, think, write, or whatever I feel like doing. Sometimes I work on a side project. The point for me is to have time to sift through my ow

Your dad's a smart man. I have an hour or so to myself every morning, and some days, I'm fairly certain that's the only thing that keeps me sane.

As an American, I would agree with this. I wish I'd stuck with a sport beyond what my parents made me do as a 7-year-old. While it may not have been my favorite thing to do, there's a lot I missed out on. When I was a kid, being a
