One aspect that I see recurring in successful side-project stories is that someone pairs their development skills with some domain-specific knowledge. So you could do an inventory of what domain-specific knowledge you do have, and think ab

That is the exact niche type of side project that I dream about. Though, with "a couple thousand users paying around $10 a month" that is hardly a side project anymore, given the annual revenue north of $200K.

Thank you for sharing this list of resources. I have been studying French since September of 2020 (but only got serious about it in May of 2021). There are some resources here that I was not aware of.

It really depends on what your goals are with the language. If your goal is to "be able to communicate basic needs while visiting Paris for five days" then A2 is likely sufficient. If your goal is to "converse on a range of

Interesting fact, the Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs was the grandson of the founder of the Burroughs Corporation.

The condition of the bridge was rated "Poor" in 2017. To understand what "Poor" can mean, here's a photo taken from underneath the bridge in 2018: https://twitter.com/gpk320/status/1078885

It is a "major" bridge. I've driven over it more than a thousand times, given that it was on my commute route for several years of my career. Had this collapsed at rush hour, 5pm, two of four lanes would have been filled wi

Thank you for sharing your DB course(s) videos on the YouTube. I'm a CMU staff member (Open Learning Initiative) that would never be able to enroll on-site, given likely my lower priority for getting a seat, but watching your videos o

Yes, indeed. I can attest to the fact that this video is quite popular in the "Unintentional ASMR" sub-genre.

It is refreshing once again to see an Elm post that looks at the pros and cons of the language and ecosystem, instead of solely focusing on a perceived problem with the way that the community is run.

I agree. Likely a quick checkmate in court.

Regarding French, I am learning it as well. I built a small site for myself to help in learning the 5000 most frequently used French words. It is, and always will be, free and with no account sign up needed. Check it out, you might find it

I plan to learn Gleam. I write Elixir for work and to have access to a statically typed functional language that can compile to (as of just recently) both the BEAM and to JavaScript fits an actual use case that we have. For non coding rela

Anki seems to be the gold standard. It has desktop, web and native mobile versions and it synchronizes across devices. The interface isn't anything fancy... but it doesn't really need to be for the app to be effective.

I have been building my own SRS flashcard web app, targeted specifically for language learning. Your implementation, UX-wise, is similar to mine (e.g. I have nearly identical "flip" transition"). Your use of icons is nicer,

I think you're reading too much into this. It doesn't say "you will be judged and punished". It says "All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and app

I wasn't tracking that JS compilation was an intended feature. Is there any documentation regarding a plan / expected timeline for that?

Maybe you've had direct interactions with community members, but it is very unfair for you to characterize the Elm community as "unfriendly" based off of your reading of a few posts. My actual experience has been exactly the

Over my lunch break today I threw a pork shoulder on my smoker. It will be ready at dinner time, just as I finish work. Yeah. I'm never going back to an office.

Without reading the details, to see a compression improvement of that magnitude I can only suspect that it is a "middle out" compression algorithm...

I liked this article and I feel there is validity to the point that innovation can be stifled by strictly choosing boring technology. But it is worth mentioning that in any non-trivial project there isn't a single "Choose Boring&q

'The insurance industry transforms from “recovery after risk” to “prevention of risk:”' I understand insurance to largely already work like this: high premiums discourage risky behavior. For example, one might be dissuaded from b

Same boat, I got into Meteor for a while years ago (even built a side project that ran in production and made real money for a couple of years). For the last year I have been writing Elixir/Phoenix full-time at work on a greenfield pro
