It really is a nice experience. The BEAM family of languages was the first for me where doing multiple things at once came natural. It doesn’t require pulling in a library or adding redis or having to worry about shared state. You just add

The most distressing thing about it is when there is some revelation of their misconduct, they act like it’s no big deal and they do this nonchalant “I was just trying to administer justice” charade. It really rubs me the wrong way.

And with veganism. Not that I've given up on being 100% plant-based, but I got bored with it after learning the 10 or so repeated talking points (and the derivations in response to people who criticize veganism). Proselytizing was the

I can’t really trust Twitter to have accurate searches like that. The tag search misses tons of tweets IME.

No! Facebook always surfaces news like two weeks after it happens, so you always have to check the individual Facebook pages to get timely updates. It’s time to move towns ;)

This is one of those things where I would have expected the opposite in your country vs the US, my country. Here pretty much everything important has an RSS feed. The Internal Revenue Service, Health and Human Services, even my local news.

The accuracy of those databases is questionable as evidenced by $InsuranceCompany calling around to providers asking if they accept $InsuranceCompany. Of course, the better the insurance you have, the easier this problem is to solve because

I almost accepted this and went on my way, but it only tells like 7% of the story. The first thing is that your eligibility stops as soon as you start making more money (i.e. single earner > $17,000). But that increase in money does no

Looks like Tailwind has an answer to this: @apply. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/reusing-styles I am going to give it a try. The argument against using it is that it defeats the purpose of Tailwind, but I think its usef

I thought it was abandoned! This is great to hear it just moved. Is there anyone at Mozilla that can update the old DXR repo [0] to direct people to MozSearch? [0]: https://github.com/mozilla/dxr

Not a Googler, so I can't say. There was Mozilla DXR but it has been abandoned.

This is exactly the problem I see with religion and how literally (some) people interpret religious texts. The texts have gone from spoken word to written and then gone through several translations. Languages have intricacies that change me

You can design singularly for LiveView and it handles everything. But if you want both request/response and LiveView (e.g. to mix the two or fallback to r/r when no js) you have to be more explicit in your design. It’s mostly tri

I can remember telling tons of lies on Reddit when I was a teenager, so I think your skepticism is valid.

It’s about what pisses off fewer customers. If I was stubborn and believed everything I read on HN about customers, I would continue to piss off a lot of people by designing under the assumption that I should only get CC details at the end

Ok we will call them penjing like the article suggests, but others will continue to refer to them as bonsai and I am not going to go out of my way to correct them.

I think making sublte spelling mistakes is a much clearer sign that someone is human. The imperfection without correction makes it more believable. I still think the hackers could stand to take a creative writing workshop.

Add a place in your offering to report on your customers’ customers marking email as spam and have some reconfirmation flow. I would also contact the postmaster to say it’s not spam.
