That is not the hallmark of literate programming, but the hallmark bad/unhelpful code comments or docs. Like, you can also have bad/unhelpful function names or unclean and tangled implementations. "TeX: The Program" is a

No, Hotwire is framework agnostic it is web components and JavaScript, basically. You can Google Hotwire with Django, or Laravel, or many others ( https://hotwire.io/frameworks ).

The article section about interpreted vs compiled is incorrect. .exs files are compiled just like .ex files are. The only difference between `elixirc` and `elixir` is that the former creates an artifact on disk, and the latter does not. See

This is not true. In Ruby, tests are the same you'd write in any other language. You test that things do what they are supposed to do, not the types of parameters or return values.

The Atmos does not have a seconds hand. All models except two do not have minute indications. I believe that is going to difficult measuring accuracy. You can approximate something if you compare it over a long period of time, perhaps at 12

It is your choice. You are in charge and freelancing gives you the opportunity to bill _less_ and leave space to other important things in your life for which a regular job would compete. Family time, sports, hobbies, learning new things, e

This project is wonderful. Dozens of cities over the world are opening their doors to its citizens thanks to it. In Madrid, inhabitants have a direct vote on how to spend _millions_ of the city budget. I wish the future of our society goes

I have tried a bunch. Notion is super cool, but doesn't do tables at this moment (though they seem to be working on it). Some apps have one level of nesting only, which is not enough structure for my use case. By now I have settled on

IMO an ORM is not a substitute for knowing SQL, much less studying the actual database. To me, an ORM is a tool that allows someone that knows SQL to write statements they would write by hand using business-level vocabulary. Also, you have

I have not watched the video, but for people reading only comments let me clarify. Numbers go naturals < integers < rationals < reals. Reals are the union of rationals (quotient of integers) with irrationals. Rationals may have an

This regexp is totally brilliant. It solves this problem in an unexpected way, because you think numbers, but the solution thinks strings. Not only that, the paradox, or its beauty, is that it goes to the root of the number abstraction: cou

The author of the post had projects in SourceForge, also listed in Freshmeat. But they were not hubs at the GitHub level, contributing to Open Source was fragmented.

Constructive feedback is fine, but "I have told you, you know that, but you are ignoring me, what's wrong" is a different story. My reaction to that is 1) it shows you already sent the feedback, what you want is to complain i

Yes, in that case that's not your market. (Unless someone responsible for some of that budget hires you under those "local" conditions.) But in general, as in any product or service, you have a market. Sometimes you may loose

In practice, this starts with my availability. Since I don't work with estimations my gigs do not have an estimated end date, because what I only care is that what I am hired for finishes in its natural way. In particular I don't

If you present a code with ten dots, he will probably say it is bad code. But he won't invoke law of demeter. That's the point I think. Is like invoking SRP. Fuck that. When you are experienced, you develop a sense on delineating

Because he judges a series of dots by themselves, not because any law mandantes anything. He gives a shit about these grandiose names, show me the code and let's discus on that.

He does not say it is bad per se. What he criticizes is using any of these "laws" and "principles" as if they were truths, as if the argument was based on an axiom or had the strength of science. They are "inferred&

Axioms are not beliefs. Axioms are a priori and you formally derive stuff from them using particular logic rules. Generally speaking, nobody claims that the axioms of set theory are true in any ordinary sense of the word true. Does it makes
