You know not what you speak of. I am small developer without funding. For every developer I hire I pay tax on 90% of their wages in year 1. So, if I hire a 200k a year developer, I have an increased tax liability of 180k. That works out t

We are small and so have been on a hiring freeze since 2022. I’d like to hire but the upfront cost is high. For those around when this went into effect many business owners were surprised. Our accountants told us they seriously thought cong

Polyester is still used extensively but it isn’t the replacement industry wanted. Folks overdid it and found a good balance. We will overshoot with GenAI and over use it. Eventually rolling back and finding a better balance. Lewis Mumford h

There is the Lamdera compiler https://github.com/lamdera/compiler We don’t use it though. Elm 0.19.1 just works. New packages and plenty of support. It’s difficult to comprehend in a world of endless updates that maybe

After years of looking at APL as some sort of magic I spent sometime earlier this year to learn it. It is amazing how much code you can fit into a tweet using APL. Fun but hard for me to write.

I tried it out. Fascinating language and a completely different paradigm. The language itself is familiar, but the structure of the program is different - no files – all functions are in a database and their history. I found the language

We no longer use memoization except for older code. New code has anything that needs to be memoized defined in the initialize method. This solves a lot of problems and Sorbet typing is what encouraged us to go this route. Now there could be

Daughter got her phone at 12, 7th grade. It was a Nokia but the thing broke so we broke and gave her an old iPhone. Before bed means before she starts getting ready for bed. The last question I don’t know.

Our eldest child has a phone. But it has to be kept downstairs at night - no tech in the bedroom before bed. Hasn’t been a fight or a problem at all.

I am primarily self trained and it took a long time to get "good". I wish I could have worked under a master, but that opportunity never arose and I was starting when web development was all new – so there were no masters. Read a

Oh nothing much: Mailpit is installed via a script and then we added a systemd unit vs 'gem install mailcatcher && mailcatcher'

We used to use MailCatcher, and it worked quite nicely, but then switched to Arm machines and it broke. So we are using Mailpit https://mailpit.axllent.org (which also nice, but more complicated to setup). Looks like MailCatcher

That is the "For You". I have a comment on this story about how you can remove it, and there are plugins out there that remove it. Once it is gone Twitter becomes usable again – you only see who you follow and ads. Otherwise it i

You can disable "For You" and only have your timeline and lists. But you need a plugin (or run some javascript). I am trying to get a Safari Extension through the App Store... but that is taking some time. (function() {

Fluoride in the water impacts the development of teeth. Portland, where I live, is the last major city to not have fluoride in the water. So kids have to take tablets if they want the impact. But this is far less effective. Ask a dentist he
