Just an observation: the native apps that are better are built on massive, proprietary frameworks developed by platform owners. In some ways, most of the web frameworks are trying to be the One True Web Platform Framework that similarly mak

Julia was designed to unsettle a creeping set of python in the domain of Perl, C++, and Matlab in scientific computing and various quant analysis that’s pretty distant, IMO, from what industry data engineering, ML, and analytics work was do

As an R user who can't stand working in Python, where Elixir I think has the most potential is not the data science part but data engineering. The whole world of ELT/ETL pipeline and workflow tools written in Python is a mess IMO,

Flow/Broadway + how nice Ecto is already had me thinking, "Elixir is super interesting for data engineering." Explorer and Livebook have me thinking, "Elixir has the best shot at unseating Python."

My only quibble with this review is the USB-A port thing. 6 devices is a lot, but even if that were the real number, if the problem is the type-C connector, you can buy very inexpensive cables or even "caps" (like $5 maybe each) t

I think the use cases in this announcement are well-laid out. There's not _a ton_ that I think fits well for these container apps, but pganalyze or New Relic monitoring etc are great examples. Some of this stuff being just _a little bi

I am looking forward to reading this but I need to point out that section 1.3 Ignorance is both interesting and necessary. What 1.3 basically outlines is, "I used R for a year, but the way I used R is very different than what most R pe

Neither of these things are actually deprecated; both remain far more stable than any web framework.

We use Jenkins for essentially this right now, and it works fine (especially if you have someone who knows Jenkins already).

The tone of this article is bizarre, ignoring the fact that Apple is implementing an ISO standard. It's interesting that states interpreted this conversation as a procurement conversation, since it's not clear the government is be

For what it's worth, this was hastily written as I was thinking about what was happening at Basecamp. I would agree that it's very important to ask the questions you're asking-- that's why I added the final bullet. It wa

psql is easily one of my favorite tools. What makes the CLI "horrible" in your mind? Also, database/schema/tables is great when doing things like multi-tenancy where you split customers by schema (which also makes horizo

I just wanted to jump in and say as a sufferer of KC with pretty nasty scarring, scleral lenses were a life changer.

Thanks! This is helpful context, and supports my notion.

> With the release of Apache Arrow 3.0.0 there are many breaking changes in the Rust implementation and as a result it has been necessary to comment out much of the code in this repository and gradually get each Rust module working again

Especially since he references the Metro section... which is exactly that.

I sounds to me like he wants [micro.blog]( https://www.micro.blog ) which is what I use for my site [micro.json.blog]( https://micro.json.blog ). It's Hugo under the hood, but with a human-focus for the interface th

I remember these days when it helpfully pre-filled in Bronson as my probable location as a freshman. That was back when you could list all your courses and sections, which was incredibly helpful to find people to complain about Math 17 prob

That assumes a very OO mindset. method(object, args)/function(data, parameters) works better in other languages, and IDEs can handle this quite well without dot syntax. Which goes to your point-- form follows function, in syntax as wit

Actually, pensions are paid for by returns to investing funds, not the next generation-- at least that was the idea. The problem is that: 1. Governments don't put even the actuarially required amounts into pension funds that assume 7-9

That's true that most people don't have an RSS reader. It's also true that: 1. Most people don't want your newsletter in their inbox. 2. Most people still find content on social media. 3. RSS _as a technology_ can be use

Writing blogs, and writing response to blogs, is a significantly better mechanism for most conversation on the web. Short posts, and replies, have all the problems that comments have had all along. Still, short posts are great, and represen

Kind of silly to insist on a newsletter versus a blog and direct folks to a $30 a month service. You can get a free blog on Tumblr or Wordpress.org. You can get one for $5 at somewhere like Micro.blog. There's plenty of ways to setup

Most apps I use that have free trials implement it as a one time, in app purchase for $0. This doesn't have the subscription implication or the auto-charge, and has been entirely acceptable under the rules.

Honestly, sounds like micro.blog and how I use it. Most importantly, micro.blog uses Micropub, an existing W3C standard API for blogging which is why things like Drafts, iAWriter, MarsEdit etc can all support it. Don’t get me wrong, this is

Moving up to a major version (1.0) implies there could have been breaking changes if you follow semver. And including something like `unnest_legacy()` is helpful for people making the transition. Just like `stringsAsFactors=FALSE` happened

I’ve been using this as a part of my Setapp subscription and loving it. It’s the only tool that has replaced DBeaver (which is still more powerful, but I hate the interface).
