I’ve also raised from Amplify and can confirm that they’re some of the most helpful investors I’ve worked with. They helped with strategy, intros, and subsequent rounds.

As a stick, VKB Guardian NXT Evo Premium, and either a 2nd one of those for HOSAS or a Thrustmaster TWCS throttle with Nyogel 767a applied to prevent sticking on the rails. The stick is $200 including a substantial shipping fee from China.

X-Plane is a flight simulator. Its purpose first and foremost seems to be to create a real sensation of flying. When flying a plane in real life, you don’t do it with a keyboard. It seems odd to build a simulator prioritizing that unrealist

I built pretty much the system you’re describing for my company (a stateless terraform alternative) and this scan that you cite as a negative happens in… 100ms in parallel? Roughly the same amount of time it would take to download a state f

I particularly like Sinix ( https://www.youtube.com/user/sinixdesign ). Although he primarily does digital painting, there's always a drawing which forms the foundation of any painting. He also has all kinds of reco

On small projects, I just write out the boilerplate. It's annoying but it's straightforward to read and revisit years later. On larger projects (100k LOC+) I use chi for my router in combination with codegen via sqlc and moq, and

Calling it "fashion" is disingenuous. I ran Rails in production years back and swore it off then. We had constant memory leaks that seemingly came from Rails itself, and the only solution we had was "just restart the server.&

Yes, but it's a bit like Rust's `unsafe` in that reaching for it first is not a great practice. There's usually a better way. Using interface{} where you truly don't know and can't predict the data being sent to yo

Presumably if the average earnings of "people who obtained a philosophy degree" is higher than those who trained as a chef, then lenders would be willing to pay more for that education. That seems like a trivial thing for lenders

I don't understand why you think profit is a bad thing. Ignoring broken markets like in the case of monopolies (and my company is a small one--definitely not a monopoly!), profit means you're creating value. People are willing to

I've been using Vim for more than 10 years, and I had no idea about :terminal. I was using tmux instead to get terminals side-by-side but using panes looks super useful too. Thanks! :) This is what I love about Vim. It's by far my

When faced with this problem, I wound up using normal SQL migrations to set the DB state, sqlc to generate the SQL boilerplate ( https://sqlc.dev/ ), and I wrote a little tool to generate the HTTP handler boilerplate for thes

Go has had built-in package management for a while now. It's extremely fast and generates reproducible builds effortlessly in its default behavior in a way I've not experienced before from any other tool.

It's not a semantic difference. If you rollback, that's not in the history. That's fine if the rollback perfectly reversed your original migration. But if it doesn't (developers make mistakes), now your database has reac

My company has always provided these. Applicants are obviously going to find out the current strike price as soon as their options are granted, so hiding that seems particularly strange.
