I was looking for Elixir jobs a few months ago. For me the number of opportunities was good enough, since the nature of the jobs was also more unique and interesting to me. Obviously nowhere near what you see with Java/JS/etc, but

It's in your own personal definition of remote work that people should be paid an universal salary. Gitlab might not be a world leader in salaries, but they might very well be a world leader in providing the best remote work environmen

What's the problem with that? If Gitlab is not paying top of the market salaries, then they're just going to miss out on top talent, and clearly they're fine with it. It's a free market after all, you don't have to

I've tried all kinds of things and even just a couple weeks ago tried out some other tools, but none of them beat simple text files. I push to Gitlab and I can view the notes on my phone. Editing is a bit of a pain, but since it's

With Postgres, you can always just have a JSONB column for data whose shape you're unsure of. Personally, I'd rather start with Postgres and dump data into there and retain the powers of RDBMS for the future, rather than the other

Is there a complete explanation for this somewhere? Asking for a friend, I obviously fully comprehend what you're talking about here.

bubba_sparks, thanks for this wonderful comment. You have brought clarity to my life with very few words. I hope it sticks for a while in my brain :).

Most people investing in crypto just want to put in $1 and take out $2. Trying to educate people about cryptocoins is practically a waste of time at this point - they just don't care. Events like these are bad for Bitcoin on a pure v

I'm working through a new codebase with a lot of code jumping and it can be tough to get an immediate picture of all the effects of a module. In my head, I am sort of copy-pasting code from one module to another to get the full picture

Moderation is great as it usually keeps a certain essence to a place. The fact that there are users who have a stronger downvote button, but who don't seem to adhere to the same standard as actual moderators, is the issue for me. It ne

A bit offtopic, but having received a Mac for work recently, I have come to appreciate Fedora and Gnome so much more. Throughout the years I've heard people rave about Apple and I honestly think Gnome is better. The only argument again

Similar story with strawberries. The huge ones are quite bland, whereas the small ones pack a punch. I imagine it's mostly the water content that makes them bigger, but at the same time it dilutes the taste. Same for tomatoes as well.

Flatpak's benefits: - Cross-distro packaging (no need to provide N package formats - this one runs on all distros) - Faster update cycle for each app, if the package is maintained by the original developers - Sandboxing - Better compat

I switched many years ago. I make heavy use of Flatpaks, which are great, although they have a lot of unlocked potential still. dnf installs regular-old packages, as opposed to Ubuntu, where apt packages now install snap packages. Debian or
