This is a dead person who isn’t here to defend himself. I am certain that if he had a chance to reclaim life and correct a mistake, he would. As in airplane accidents, though it is sometimes hubris or poor communication, it is more often a

I absolutely loved working with Elixir and LiveView. I made a decision to migrate to Python/Flask to simplify our infrastructure and move application code into one language, but I’ll miss it nonetheless!

In the middle of this as we speak, so thanks for the post. I'm absolutely in that rough 10% phase. XD

The results speak for themselves (Apple is slower than some) but the context does matter: Apple has been talking about performance per watt since Steve Jobs showed a keynote slide announcing the transition from PowerPC. The cynical view is

It’s impressive, I admit, but I’m skeptical Vision Pro will outdo the legacy of iPod Socks.

by mrcwinn 3y ago
It could be the other way: Vision Pro will advance faster (field of view, compute power, some new feature) and Vision will become a lower price point full of rad hand-me-downs.

Having experienced Vercel enterprise sales, I can confirm they are indeed the Death Star and will inadvertently destroy React. Very happily using Phoenix LiveView these days.

I don’t know, but I suspect that when dealing with immersive experiences there really is a breakpoint that matters deeply. It’s sort of like “retina” screens. You can improve pixel density, but there is a point on the scale where you really

“business > user” - I couldn’t agree more. “Customer-first” has always been a nice storefront design but it’s always been about conversion rate (even if it’s user-hostile). I agree too that UXR is disproportionately impacted, and that UX

For those with flexibility or a new project, also consider Phoenix LiveView. It’s been a joy to work with so far.

What’s happening right now is a story we’ve seen plenty of times before. Overhead cost of convenience mixed with vendor lock-in, all while boasting about open source. I’d love to create tools that were convenient and had fair pricing. The c

I still take the overall point that Elm was simpler, but it’s funny how people react to curly brackets. When I look at the provided screenshots comparing Elm to JavaScript, I see no meaningful difference in terms of visual noise. Maybe I’ve

It's a fair point. I actually slept 8 hours last night (made sure not to eat after 7 or so, set my phone down early on). What's noteworthy is that... I noticed and was so excited I'd slept 8 hours. That used to not be notewor

If I have to explain it, it’s not funny. I’ve failed. But since you ask - supply chain shocks limited GPU availability and further squeezed PS5 availability. That led to people paying absurd prices for PlayStations. The joke is that was the

I think this may be interpreted as welcome by the markets: a significant reduction in the size of the rate increase, signaling the Fed is closer to a "monitoring mode." Between recent reports of (not good but better) price changes

Same. I’m so disappointed because I’ve been rooting for them. We were close to a major deployment/migration (well, major as is mid four figures per month, not major like Google) but they were removed from the decision set. It would not

That’s a fair point, and obviously the funding model doesn’t incentivize the creation of those types of organizations. I guess I remain skeptical (cynical?) that it could be successful. As perhaps one counter example, I’m currently decked o

I get wanting a real car instead of an NFT. After all, an NFT can’t exactly drive on the road. On the other hand, roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

Good. Investors like Ackman and Cuban seem so concerned about payroll for tech workers. The truth is that the vast majority of this cash was dry powder for acquisitions, staying liquid for new new investments, fresh VC money for advertising
