Okay, I think I'm finally sold that AR has useful applications. As non-gammer, I've sort of mostly written it off. Cool stuff.

Render nor DO offer logical replication and are missing some other features.

Supabase is not just a hosted Postgres, it’s a full(ish) backend stack built on open source components comparable with something like firebase. But being Postgres, encourages same data modeling (and an escape hatch). Their type generation a

Whatever. I was able to set up Neon Postgres in 5 mins. It’s still crazy fast with my Fly services, has replication out of the box and backups. Much easier than AWS and from what I can tell, getting something going with Railway. And I don’t

Now that’s really interesting, thanks.

Or just address the actually cause instead of the "problem". Get the shit like food coloring and corn syrup out of our food. Other nations do just fine with their food situation without all these made up excuses and nonsense and l

Yeah, exactly - she made my point. Buy proper toothpaste with fluoride. Brush after ever meal. I understand the chemistry and am an obsessive brusher. If the Danish don't need it in their DRINKING water, nor do we.

by cpursley 1y ago
Just brush your teeth after every meal, you will be fine like the Finns. And prob a higher IQ like them, as well (without all the unnecessary floride in the water).

And who in the actual flying fuck are you to assume with such confidence who I voted for?

That's very kind. Now if we can start getting some real food into American school instead of SNAP Slop. If France and South Korea can manage it, we can as well.

by cpursley 1y ago
Any actual stats on people not brushing their teeth? It's not 1960 any more... And my entire point was to compare to other nations with similar development levels that don't pump it into their water supply and are doing just fine

I've read it and am not convinced we need to be ingesting fluoride water. Nor is Europe or most other countries and their dental health is fine. Said another way - brush yo teeth, brush yo GD teeth: https://youtu.be/GlK

by cpursley 1y ago
Why does American drinking water need fluoride - for the few seconds people brush their teeth? Other developed nations seem to do get by just fine without it (i.e, most of Europe). Does modern tooth paste not contain the components for prop

No studies other than some serious experimentation on my own. I’m a strong Elixir dev but Cursor and friends are just more productive with Typescript due to the editor type checking cycle and training. Thought Jośe is working on a new MCP p

Agree. The one thing LiveView is missing is 1:1 Tailwind and Shadcn libraries that are more or less interchangeable with the huge ecosystem around them. I just want to be able to pull in popular components for the wider dev community. There

AR is the worst thing about Rails - it's anti-pattern central. The Ruby REPL is amazing, however.

by cpursley 1y ago
Languages with stronger types like typescript (unfortunately) perform much better than dynamic languages like Ruby, Elixir or even plain JS in an AI editor world. Because the editors are type smart and you can quickly pop the type error int

By comparing supabase to Heroku, you demonstrated that you don't actually understand what it is...

You can literally set up a supabase cron to ping your project and keep it alive.

The $500 million that was wasted could have bought the taxpayer 10,000 electric cars. Just ponder on that. Where is the damn money?
626.
by cpursley 2y ago
Good. But $500 million is still to much for 7 chargers. Where is the money? Where is it! Really. That's our money that was taken at the threat of gunpoint. Enough of this theft and grift. Shut it down, the entire thing and rebuilt from

That's insane. Wild that people defend this because they hate Trump so much (yeah he's a bag-oh-farts, but that's a lot of damn money).

by cpursley 2y ago
Exactly this. It's not a left/right thing; I'm really tired of the charged partisan excuses (pun intended). What I'm saying is, where is all the charging infrastructure that my tax payer dollars payed for? Where the hell
