Drugs make you feel good. They release chemicals in your brain that say: "Yeah, more of that!" There is a craft to producing the drugs. Home brewing beer and wine, growing a weed plant in the woods behind your house, these are fun

Glad to see my go-to product, Orchid Essentials, tested clean. Great product, great company. I was confident they would. They post their lab tests on their website, and only provide PURE BHO with no additives. They also use a ceramic heatin

I've heard the exact opposite from a lot of people I respect. That announcing plans and communicating with your peers and getting support and accountability for your plans actually increases the likelihood of success. But I mean, that

I love fancy/zany new HCI stuff, and I have been waiting for the CTRL-Labs product to come out for a LONG time. In my head, the compromises CTRL-Labs are making is brilliant and I believe it can create a compelling product. This could

Eh most people don't have a Goodreads. Like, a "Goodreads" official list of Elon musk / Steve jobs / Obama recommended books so I don't have to sort through the chaff. Or a "Goodreads presents: John Carmak

What I want from a Goodreads alternative: Curated lists of books from people I respect. Lists of books that are not all dominated by Harry Potter and other trash. The ability to follow people and keep track of the books they recommend. A fa

I find having a good supply of books to read comforting! I love the Japanese word Tsundoku. So perfect!

I've read 50 books this year after reading only 30 last year. I want to really crank then out in these next few months. It is so important to me to keep reading and keep improving.

Agreed. Awesome abstraction that lets you build on top of it while still using low level SQL when warranted

One of the many reasons I love Elixir Ecto: it is a pretty small abstraction on top of SQL. Gets out of your way and let's you write SQL in elixir

Yeah people always drive by with this exact comment. My writing style comes off this way sometimes, I can't control how you interpret my comments. It's a social media post, not a great American novel. Oh no my social media comment

Hundreds of thousands? Most people don't go that deeply into debt. I think the average is like 30k. And that includes loans for housing costs. Also, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Huge chip on your shoulder about somethin

Yeah, that's fair. I shouldn't diss on state schools. I had a specific one in mind when I wrote this, but it can definitely come off as elitist. My apologies.

I feel like this kind of work is extremely important. I always say that if someone figured out how to write better software faster, they would be a billionaire. I see project after project turn to mush and go south, people writing the same

How do you know someone doesn't have a CS degree? They'll tell you. You're right: Nobody cares you don't have a degree. It's not impressive, it is just normal. What I have a problem with is the huge chip on people&#

TDD is so tragically misunderstood. I don't think this dude knows what he is talking about. Case in point: you don't have to write your tests first. You can write a quick spike first to feel out you API, then rewrite that code wit

Kubernetes is seriously not that complicated and after using deployutil on Google cloud and cloudformation on AWS: it is a great abstraction and a massive improvement over dealing with existing cloud deployment solutions.

What is the point of this question? Why are the other tools special?

by honkycat 7y ago
I would argue it is not that much harder to do things correctly as opposed to doing things fast and loose. It just requires reading a few books and learning a tool like ansible. It is extremely boring, but the time pays for itself. I suspec

Man, that is really unfortunate. My heart goes out to these developers. I've worked with a few of these "do whatever works" cowfolk before. It is exhausting. And, as we see here, can ruin a company. Personally, I'm getti

I purchase vinyl to support the artist and the artwork on the vinyl is much larger and prettier. Additionally, most vinyl releases these days come with a high-quality FLAC audio download, so I get the digital music as well.

You really can't help, it's already gone. I think socialized healthcare would go a long way. Would allow people to take risks instead of clinging to crappy jobs in order to keep their healthcare. Also a lot of people lose their mo

I come from a rural community in midwest United States. It is rough. All of the factories closed. Then all of the small businesses closed. Then all of the grocery stores closed. We now have to drive almost an hour to the local Wal-Mart to g
