Shameless plug: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tachyons if you're learning Tachyons. ;)

Tachyons is feature complete for most people's/project's needs. It doesn't need to be updated. Every day we all use code that was last updated 10+ years ago without realising it. Having said that we switched to Tailwin

This is awesome. Discovering this kind of post is exactly why I read HN and not other "news" sources. Agree with others that the "empty" billboard frames look off. But much better than attention-seeking adverts. Wish m

"The camera is so bad I’d be better off just writing out a description of what I’m looking at rather than taking a picture of it." ... total deal-breaker. otherwise I was getting excited about this device! :-(

Streams in LiveView are a game-changer for long-lived data-heavy apps like news feeds/readers or analytics dashboards that update steadily over time. We've been using LiveView in production for the last couple of years and it keep

Facebook or Twitter using LiveView wasn't implied by the comment. It's just an example use-case.

For sure, advanced driver safety systems can become a crutch. I don’t think driving a Tesla has made me a worse driver… but I am very aware of the lack of 360 cameras and collision avoidance when I drive a different car. Back to the OP
141.
by nelsonic 4y ago
Yes, absolutely a “normal” driver would avoid some of the collisions. But read the stats on road/traffic accidents and particularly fatalities. The stats are grim. The “Tesla saved me” owner reports are “anecdata”. But again, having ex

All the folks that don’t own a Tesla but feel that people who pay $20k for “beta” software, please Google for “FSD saved my life” to understand how this seemingly irrational expense makes perfect sense from a personal safety perspective.

Not one of the OPs but can happily echo their experience/praise for PETAL and think I can answer your dev search question: Anyone with a can-do attitude can learn Elixir. People with a “no thank you, I already know XYZ” mindset you re

Totally agree! For almost all web-based MVPs the PETAL Stack (Phoenix with LiveView & TailwindCSS) deployed to FREE Fly.io is an epic choice for both response times, realtime features, dev speed (time to market). We're currently bu

Yeah, if it's after checkout, then it's a smart use of an interrupt; i.e. they are hijacking the person's attention to increase cart size [profits]. Still don't think they need to use a Modal though ... people will s

Good call. Indeed Amazon does have the super annoying upsell after adding an item to the shopping cart. It must convert well for them it to still be enabled ... But for the actual checkout - once you have finished adding all items to shopp
