Unfortunately, this is simply the state of automotive journalism in $THE_CURRENT_YEAR.

I appreciate the reassurance… the conversation about the App Store has been really grim around these parts, lately!

I've built the whole thing with web-first technology (Elm + Capacitor) and it's cross-platform already - but distributing it as a native mobile app is part of a larger branding strategy to cement my position in an underserved nich

I'm about to release my first iOS app, and all of these posts of late are making me nervous. Does anyone have a good link to a guide for dealing with the App Store reviewers' capriciousness? Or is it simply a roll of the dice, no

Probably; you wouldn't have to do so much maintenance. Wax fills in all of the voids between the bushings, roller pins, etc - so it physically prevents dirt from getting into your chain. And since there's no oil to cause the dirt

Do you know what else is nearly whisper-quiet and grease-free? Degrease your bicycle chain with kerosene or some other solvent, and submerge it in molten paraffin for 20 minutes. I have been doing this to my bike chains for almost a decade

Get comfortable being uncomfortable, and you'll never be uncomfortable. Whenever someone starts to talk about their own problems and shortcomings, and then tries to get _you_ to agree that those shortcomings aren't really _their f

Don't leave us hanging - what did you _do?_ Did you fix this?

All of this has happened before; and it will happen again.

I just got my first job as a full-time Elm (and Haskell) developer a few months ago... and it's been an incredible experience. Those of us who love this language and want to see it succeed are highly invested in creating more Elm jobs.

Nice try, FBI.

by eckza 4y ago
If you ever do any frontend work, you should give Elm a try. The tooling is lightweight but effective; and the compiler error messages are best-in-class.

Semantic search on several versions and show results for chapter and verse in my preferred version = best of both worlds. This is awesome. Thank you for building it.

Probably Texas. There is... _so much Texas_ that isn't Austin or Houston or DFW or San Antonio. A lot of it's really great, too. I miss Texas.

I have a M1 Macbook Pro with 16 GB RAM, and qemu ballons in RAM when I try to stand up our backend microservice stack locally - it uses RAM until there's none left, and falls over. My teammates running Linux report ~30mb of RAM usage b

Hungarian notation is not "camelCase". It's a system for semantic variable naming.

This is, in essence, Hungarian notation. It's great. I wrote about it a few months ago: https://dev.to/jmpavlick/hungary-for-the-power-a-closer-look...

Fair point but outside of the context of demonstrating this... _why would you actually ever `echo .gitignore > .gitignore`?_ Seems a bit like pointing out that running `sudo rm -rfv /` will let you watch your shell eat your whole sy

To tell you the truth, I almost don't want to spoil it for you. Your particular interest, at the intersection of media and AI, makes me believe that you would find the book worthwhile. The structure and exposition of his arguments is w

Dissenter in the thread here; rather than read Infinite Jest (which I've also not read, purely out of disinterest in doing so), I would kindly suggest that you read Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media, the premise of which is t
