I bought a bunch of Japanese KitKats as gifts last year, but it was more of a "oh shit it's the middle of November and I haven't gotten anything yet" so that's where the feeling thoughtlessness comes from. It did fe

Many businesses already have differing winter/summer hours under the current regime. That is, they change their hours in winter and summer. And often those hours don’t change in any consistent way. They do just fine despite the coordin

Well there is something you can do about it, but you probably don’t want to. You can start an arbitration hearing with AAA. Zelle pays the fees.

It's really about trading off something I understand fairly well (a script I wrote) and something I have questions about. Since it's not a particularly important problem and I'm more likely to make errors in cron, I'd

That’s a good point. It might make more sense to run it every minute or just have its own service if it’s that important. My use case is usually a user interacting with something that causes them to see something time specific.

The first advantage is that you can dynamically check what your actual open hours are rather than having them statically configured (e.g. a web service to check for holidays). Open hours are never actually static. (Unless maybe cron does ho

You store the time you want to see on the clock tower and the timezone where the clock tower is. Every hour you do the following pseudocode: if utc_now().to_timzone(my_timezone) >= "9AM": sign = "open"

This is just a general thing I've learned from working adjacent to US healthcare... It's annoying to work with and there are all kinds of little rules because of how inefficient the system is. First, always have a list of all rele

For example’s sake, it would be fine to just remove that and do it manually: defmacro __using__(:view), do: view() But I think explaining what each element does in that dispatcher would be helpful. Especially in cases with typos.

And actually the <project>Web macros are a great way to show people when macros are useful. A fun exercise for beginners might be to have them manually import those modules. And it illuminates some aspects of Phoenix in general e.g. &

I don't really like the dogma of "don't use x". It's much better to just show examples of when macros are useful and when they're not. I got burnt trying to do tenancy. At one point I was like "I'll u

In Windows 11, when you click the start menu, a rhombus stretching from the bottom left to the top right appears and the menu selections bounce around inside it like a DVD screen saver.

They are usually slow on the uptake. I'm pretty sure the CenturyLink outage wasn't reported until a day or two later after it happened. I am surprised that tech sites aren't faster to report on it though.

And there is no transparency, so you can get a backup provider only to find out both of your providers are on the same platform!

I don't really think it's a legitimate or scalable way to inform people. On a smaller scale it could help people in the local social network to be aware of what those posts are doing. Another thing to do is to tell people "th
