Ah, I'm surprised Slack doesn't support Ruby, but to be fair they are pretty tight on official support with only Python, Node and Java. Fortunately there's https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-ruby-client

If you're only interested in the total number of hosts within a CIDR block for IPv4 addresses you can do this Python 1 liner: python3 -c "import ipaddress; print(ipaddress.ip_network('10.0.0.0/16').num_address

The blog post mentions Elixir and while Elixir has its own mini-Rails with a lot less opinions, you'll still run into the same problems as Clojure around things like wanting a Stripe supported library, or PayPal, or Braintree, or Paddl

Thanks, that's a good idea -- especially for standalone courses that are kind of pre-made and done. I guess it's a bit tricky to balance with "screencasts vs courses" which I suppose is a different conversation than a SA

For technical learning material do you prefer a SAAS model where you pay $10-20 / month for all-in access to short isolated videos in a related subject (potentially ~4 new videos a month) or dropping $50-150 one time for a course that

I don't see retirement as not doing anything. I see it a synonym to being financially secure. It's being able to choose to do whatever you want.

Do you ever think back and wonder if maybe you did make the right decision? After factoring in ~10x 15-20% jumps over 25 years, compounding interest and more maybe that translates to being 100% financially secure 10 years sooner. I didn&#x2

Oh yeah I remember your reply (not word for word but the approach of using it). If you search around for using process dictionary it seems to go against the grain of Elixir since it introduces mutable state which is fundamentally against wh

Finally, somewhere that I fully agree with. Being on-call while you do not get called upon is 24 / 7 work because you have to live your entire life around being available. Like the blog post mentions, grocery shopping has implications
