OP did not mean "tightly coupled" in the traditional OO sense. They meant that they prefer their presentation to be coupled with their logic, which is how React components work.

I'm not sure why you've been downvoted. I absolutely LOVE that Elm simplifies the boiler plate of a front-end app. Instead of needing a dozen different packages and tools, you basically just need the Elm core library and you'

I don't mean this as a criticism towards you personally, but I've heard this same sentiment about remote working and I just don't get it. I could never see myself accidentally working until 9pm. I understand having a passion

At the last company I worked for, we used Salesforce as our database and source of truth in one of our web applications. It was exactly as horrible as it sounds :)

Yep, the word "startup" has the same definition to me. It's more of a description of the culture than how new or scrappy the business is. I worked at a "startup" that had been around for 10 years, had no plans of ex

Yes, you will eventually reach an altitude where the gravitational pull of a given body is negligible. At that point you will have escaped it's orbit.

Before I played KSP I had a lot of hilarious misconceptions about the physics of rocketry and space travel. On my first attempt to get into orbit, I loaded up my rocket with as many engines and boosters as I could strap on and fired the roc

I'm really confused by this comment. Unless I'm missing something about this specific library, if you pass new a new `data` prop to the chart, it will re-render, so live data is the same as any other data. This is true for any rea

> Or sometimes you just really don't care. Agreed. Hearing about the minutiae about someone's task is tedious. To me the daily scrum is like getting home and asking your significant other "how was work today?". Boring

Still passive aggressive. Any person with a brain would see right through that question. If you need to address something, it's better to be direct than to beat around the bush.

> It forces your whole project into a box Isn't that the point? Since Elm is a pure, strongly typed language, it introduces a lot of constraints. You can't mutate anything, there are no side effects (only declared effects captu

The self-descriptions people use these days are so ludicrous it's hard to tell if it's satire. If I had a Medium account, here's how my description would read: "Software Engineer, Philanthropist, Astronaut, Shark Hunter,

Only vizza and antonplus posted the same verbatim comment. Could just be the same person, different accounts. The accounts were created a long time ago as well. Doesn't look like shilling.

Totally anecdotal, but the past two startups I worked at used Rails on greenfield projects. The first one decided to go "off the rails" and made up their own architecture based on Uncle Bob's SOLID design principles or whatev

That's really cool! Btw, I'd love to drop that line into casual conversation some time. "Anscombe's quartet" has a nice flow to it.

This is really cool. That voyage must be pretty brutal compared to modern sailing vessels - if you look at this video [1], the galley is basically a sink with a tarp over it :). I wonder if the ship has an inboard engine or a GPS for safety

You're totally right. My example is an inner join. I will admit that doing outer joins in ActiveRecord is quite painful. Here's a more realistic example, which is not nearly as pretty: Post.select("posts.*, COUNT(comments

Software is essentially a luxury item though. I know that we engineers like to think we're the gods of the universe, but nobody needs software to survive. People survived just fine without software for literally all of human history.

I hear this criticism about ports a lot. Out of curiosity, how could we make it better? Do you have any examples of what you consider to be the ideal FFI? I haven't used ports a ton, but I have used them for interop between Elm and the
