This is the Ruby on Rails version of what Elixir Phoenix Live View and .NET Blazor do. For those not familiar, rather than using a standard web framework where a lot of processing is done client side, these frameworks allow html buttons etc

A fun anecdote about AirBnB in China: 2 years ago I travelled to Beijing and Shanghai and intended to stay in an AirBnB. AirBnB had tons and tons of listings in both places, all of which had specific instructions to tell the neighbors you w

Yes, I’d love to use F#, but not a lot of opportunities out there. And .NET, like you mentioned, is very C# focused which would become frustrating at times.

I agree with the DI for config and async push. Too much ceremony for a very simple task. Async being used by auth can certainly be frustrating if you have sync code that needs to use it at some point. Then suddenly you have to redo all sync

As someone who uses .NET daily, but loves Clojure and other functional programming paradigms - Records seem like a very compelling feature. Immutable data structures without any hassle to set up. Simply write “record” where you would normal

Can anyone speak to how the EU is enforcing the travel restriction? I can go online and buy a flight right now. Let’s say my airline let’s me board without a business visa (which they likely won’t). When I arrive in the EU are they saying,

This would likely be well suited for a short book of rust anti patterns. I love resources that are learning by inversion: here is what not to do, and why.

I agree with the OP and you. They are not mutually exclusive views. Perhaps the solution is privacy that protects you for data aggregators and “joiners” that pull together a ton of stuff to infer things about you, but not necessarily comple

I wouldn’t worry about lock in since you can export to excel, convert to csv, and boom, you have plain text.

Eric, what are some companies you’d be happy to list on your exchange? Both IPO and older companies already listed elsewhere.

A generalizable rule of thumb is that your job is to make your manager look good. It works for every company in every industry. I hope this is useful.

I’m having to make my own options, which is the fun part. There is an incredible amount of opportunity that’s too small or not scalable enough for VC and PE. You can effectively do both at small scale and that excites me much more than drop

I can’t tell you if they are or aren’t a bad investment. I am just confident in the level of returns I could get in private investments, and it seems to be better than what I can do in public. Invest in TSLA as much as you like. I’m going t

Thanks for the advice. You may be misunderstanding my position as it’s more tax efficient for me to do as I mentioned above.

Good explanation of it. I’ve yet to find a single case this has actually happened for. I get the gut feeling that the SEC doesn’t have the audit capacity to focus on the likely smaller deals where non accredited people lie. Please share a

My biggest problem with this is that I have had multiple opportunities as a young professional to invest in my friends’ small funds, only to be turned away at the last minute when they decided to only accept accredited investors. On the oth

That's true. I've never attempted to keep procs in VC, but I think it would be pretty easy if you wanted to.

I really like this approach because as you said, it gets really messy to do string replacements inline in a python file. I'm curious if any people here are comfortable using stored procedures as an alternative to this. Stored procs giv

Everyday. Doing CRUD and ETL. My team uses gasp stored procedures for essentially everything. So, we end up writing raw queries and saving them to the DB to be called over and over. Using an ORM like Dapper helps make that map to runtime

Great first order impact. Now consider second order. Exxon and Co buy distressed assets at depressed prices and resume production with an even better margin.

I’ve recently been doing it. We use Dapper ORM. It’s super light weight and easiest to make classes that map 1-1 with database columns since Dapper does reflection to match up property names and column headers. I’ve found the best way to ad

I’ve been investing for a long time. Biggest key: open an account, add money, and buy something. You will rapidly learn what works, what doesn’t, what drives price etc. Reading financial statements is a good exercise and certainly important

Agree. I would love to be in that space. An important caveat is that the oil and gas industry has a ton of innovation as well, so extraction costs are generally going down. If they stopped innovating renewables would catch on faster, but it
