Yeah, am getting a little worried about that. I am kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop because the company has been nothing but amazing when it comes to their support. It has sprung a leak three times, about once every 18 months, and

It keeps the drink at a specific temperature indefinitely. With an insulated mug, you aren't putting more heat into the drink but just trying to keep it for longer. In my opinion, insulation works great for cold drinks (I use a giant i

The mug part is metal, the electronics bit at the bottom is plastic-y rubber.

Oh, I wasn't even aware they were that much. I could've sworn they were like $70 - $90 last I saw. That sucks.

You should look into smoothing out the UX with toast or other notifications so users know whether they are waiting or not. For instance, "Daily Challenge" seemingly does nothing. Single player "Survival" is seemingly stu

Thank you! You gave me a great term that I can jump off from (NIF). I'll have to rig up Observer. I've been using recon because I was being lazy overall.

Thanks! That is a helpful tip in general I should remember: search for Erlang, not Elixir ;)

Since this thread is going to be bait to more experienced Elixir devs, can someone tell me books, blogs, etc that you like that discuss performance in Elixir? I am working on an Elixir project that in no circumstance should be taxing but it

That is fair. I am not smart enough to shape it out but I wonder if there is a difference between going into a reality expecting it to be fake and being unknowingly presented a fake reality. Maybe I am just weird but I have definitely had a

The problem isn't the tech, it's the people. If you allow these mistakes to be possible, they are inevitable. If you take basic precautions, you'll probably be fine. I'd rather take a well-curated and trimmed down .env o

I once worked at a place where we essentially were unable to fix bugs because it was a no-code tool so people would do all kinds of wacky things with the system. The mandate was, as far as I can tell, to enshrine these former bugs into actu

They are always sort of a stretch like "Electric mouse" or "Egyptian cat". In my non-lawyer opinion, it's in the same vein as saying that DC should sue Marvel over Captain Marvel being a Superman rip-off.

Honestly... SWE management already is kind of already out-of-date and I say that as someone who is a SWE manager. Most software teams can pretty much run themselves and the only real use a SWE manager has imo is running interference because

Also the whole non-profit angle is immature in my opinion. Non-profits denote nothing about their financial good-standing or moral good-standing. You can be an amoral non-profit, a moral for-profit or vice-versa. Your profit structure has n

This reason is precisely why I got an implanted RFID chip. When I lived in apartments, I would _constantly_ lose my door fob. It's much more difficult to lose the chip if it is part of you ;) (I wouldn't recommend embedding an Air
