I’ve been working remotely in wilderness areas of the U.S. in my RV, and it’s been great. I wouldn’t have attempted this without Starlink.

Fun fact: In the sci-fi book “Children of Time” by Adrian Tchaikovsky, computing is performed by networked ant colonies.

I think Elixir and Clojure are in a similar bind. The ecosystems just never took off, and they couldn’t ride the 2015-2020 functional language hype wave into critical mass. I think both of those technologies deserve a lot more broad investm

I built a fintech backend system using Eljxir a few years ago, and I loved it. However, I had to use Go and Python as a sort of escape hatch when companies offered massively time-saving SDKs in those languages but not Elixir. The ecosystem

Apparently the style is polarizing. I think it looks really cool and unique. Edit: Except when looking straight on at the front. It’s definitely ugly from that perspective.

I was just digging into promptfoo the other day for some good starting points in my own LLM eval suite. Thanks for the great work!

Nah, it’ll be the monthly fee for the pills that stop your body from rejecting all your new CRISPR genes.

Those seemingly imperfect attributes were placed there by the devil (a Perl dev) to cause fear and doubt.

America is mostly run by corporations by now. We lost that war long ago.

I had an emergency appendectomy at Erlanger in Chattanooga, and whoever sutured me back up accidentally punctured my intestine, didn’t realize it, and sent me home. Ended up in serious condition. I attempted to at least have the hospital co

This whole saga sounds like the start of an epic lesson in societal collapse. A city is struggling with decline, and despite great wealth being present, it is concentrated enough at the top for a handful of wealthy individuals to literally

This reminds me of the seeded octopus population in the science fiction novel Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

I quit my job as an EM 3 months ago, and during that time off, I realized my life was becoming far too career-focused at the expense of any other interests. My partner and I decided to make some big changes, and we are now living in an RV a

Those are really nice tubs to just give away to customers. Worked out well for you though!

Well, the woman in the article said it was exciting because it felt wrong, so I guess it’s going along with that idea in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way.

React Native may be a good bet, while testing with an Android emulator. However, you won’t be able to build an app-store-approved iOS app without Xcode tools, which are not officially available on Linux. The CLI tools for building mobile ap

Renogy is a popular brand for solar systems, and they have some great resources. Also lots of YouTube vids that walk through solar installation on RVs and vans. Once you know what you need (panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter), i

I've rebuilt most of the electrical system in an RV I recently bought. It started out with a basic "shore power" system as the dominant source of electricity along with a couple lead acid batteries. I've replaced the old

Many of them in government have probably been busy quietly putting it somewhere else for some time now.

You haven’t experienced the full inadequacy of the US health system until you’ve paid out the nose for a night of “observation” at the hospital.

It’s a shame. Basically it’s e-waste without a battery due to the e-shifter. Can’t even use it as a normal bike.

My VanMoof is currently dead, awaiting to be shipped off to the VanMoof shop to supposedly replace a battery that is erroring out. Now I’m concerned that I’ll never be able to use it again, or that I’ll lose the bike completely if I hand it

Probably some company that is privately owned, pays its employees well, doesn’t sacrifice integrity for growth, and admits/corrects mistakes. We probably haven’t heard of them because the more growth-focused corps get the headlines.

Maybe being in a noisy environment while wearing hearing protection all day. It’s probably more isolating than a desk job.

I never thought of that! I’ve had this problem a lot, and this is a perfect use case for generative fill.
