Thanks for sharing. Watched and enjoyed. How did you learn how to do that? Trial and error? Or you rode with someone else?

Recently, I ran across this purportedly leaked strategy letter on VR/AR at FB. https://www.scribd.com/document/399594551/2015-06-22-MARK-S-... From that, it seems odd they'd be willing to give up control

I wished there was more instrumentation on Sidekiq or Faktory. And it really falls down when I have to chain background workers together. Was just wondering if people have found better solutions.

Never tried dynalist. Used Workflowy. Workflowy is strictly an outliner. It's like Gopher--hierarchical, unlike the Web, which is a graph. Feature-wise, Roam is more like a graph. You can really easily link to other concepts, and renam

From Microsoft's point of view, it makes sense to merge Visual code with Github, as both are their properties. And it walks into the realm of repl.it and darklang, who are demonstrating people want to shorten the repl loop. But I'

What were some of the obvious downsides you were expecting, and why didn't it show up? I suspect one dimension is if you're limited to readonly, SQL as API is pretty good. Have you ventured to looking at datalog or Datomic? If so,
