Agreed. It doesn't seem right that San Francisco (famously foggy) is ranked less dreary than Denver (famously sunny 300 days a year* and quite arid). *"300 days of sunshine per year" is frequently cited, even on the official

> And this is the so-called responsive design... I’m not sure if this was meant to be a pun, but “responsive design” has nothing to do with how quickly a UI loads. It’s about adapting to different screen sizes.

We’re saying the same thing. I honestly don’t know much about B&H as a business but I’m a frequent customer. I have bought several expensive camera bodies and lenses from them, countless camera accessories, and it’s often the first plac

I have nuthatches that peck and bore large holes in my cedar siding in the spring to nest. They showed up about two weeks ago and they’ll be here through summer. The sound is obnoxious and they’ve basically destroyed my house. I’ve tried ev

But you said "I can now whip up a serious contender to any SaaS business in a week". Any SaaS business. In a week. And to be a "serious contender", you have to have feature parity. Yet now you're shifting the goal

I reckon you’re proving their point. You’re using a large language model for language-specific tasks. It ought to be good at that, but it doesn’t mean it is generic artificial intelligence.

Official Git docs say commit messages should be in present tense and imperative mood: > Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz" instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I]

Also this article seems more like an ad for Cyanview than for Elixir. Smells like content marketing to me.

“Rare” fish is always a bad idea, but perhaps you meant “raw”, which is different. Raw fish like used in sushi/sashimi is generally safe because the fish is flash frozen, which is as effective as thorough cooking for killing parasites.

Not to distract from the article, but I'm pretty sure that photo of the guard tower is from Manzanar, one of the concentration camps in California that interned Japanese Americans during WWII. Probably not in great taste to use that ph

Perhaps to you, but anyone that’s ever worked with Ruby knows that there’s no such thing as fields/properties/members in Ruby. There are only methods. Parentheses are optional for method calls.

Yep, for some compliance frameworks like SOC 2, background checks for all new hires is a requirement. A third party service is often used. At my workplace, we do employment and education verification. We don’t do criminal background checks

Here’s another interesting connection: the Italian forename Enzo is a derivative of the German name Heinz, which is a diminutive of Heinrich and cognate of the given name Henry.

I find 2, 3, and 4 star reviews the most useful. 5 star reviews are too effusive, and 1 star reviews are often people that are just upset, spiteful, and want to complain. Honest gripes and complaints are found in the middle.
