Shopify uses Sorbet and a few companion projects (e.g., Spoom¹ and Tapioca²) to manage Rails projects of various sizes. While there are some holes, like you find with any gradual type system, I think you'll find the experience is quite

Everything I had seen said you’d only pay if they helped you land a programming job. It looks like more than a few people were surprised when the actual terms allowed them to collect a percentage of income from unrelated employment. I never

Oh, that’s great. I suppose it’d be nice if I could supply my own types, but strings aren’t the end of the world. Thank you for pointing me at that example. Also, thank you for linking to a particular commit. I wish GitHub would do that by

Does anyone know how well this integrates with web components? I struggled getting Shoelace components to run well with Yew. It was doable, but by the time I had it working I decided I was using the wrong tool for the job. I'd like to

I think we have the opposite problem: too much innovation in UI elements that don’t need it or sacrificing usability for aesthetics. I get the desire for uniqueness, but common UI elements have a huge positive impact on usability. Consequen

Almost immediately after OpenAI opened its API there were a raft of services to send auto-generated sales and marketing emails. Sure, there are other ways to generate unsolicited commercial emails. There are even services that will spam on

There’s also loads artists that do web and graphic design, make videos for product demos, ad campaigns, and so on. It’s perhaps not the purest form of art, but it is one way in which artists can apply their craft and still put a roof over t

Off the top of my head, here are some reasons people still want a headphone jack: * Invested in quality audio equipment that they'd like like to continue using without a crappy dongle * Bluetooth dongles don't have the same l

The deductible losses are supposed to be incurred in pursuit of profit. Not every expense a business incurs is tax deductible. Not even trying to sell it calls into question whether it was in pursuit of profit. They’re expecting the America

I guess I don't know what we mean by "hit" then. I tried to address it from cultural impact, box office earnings, and movie quality. On any one of those criteria I don't think it's been that long since Disney has ha

If you take "for years" to literally mean "more than one year", sure. I think it's colloquially understood to be far longer than that. "Encanto" came out in 2021 and I'd consider that a hit. The sound

Some people grow gardens. Some rebuild cars. Others 3D print things. Others yet enjoy woodworking. One the grand features of our current society is you're not working 14 hour days, seven days a week in a factory. Without a doubt, there

You're more than free to do with your own time what you wish. These projects aren't harming you in any way. Who cares what enthusiasts want to do for fun? They're not trying to supplant the OS on your desktop. They're le

I'm fairly certain I'm not mistaken. The MSRP may be the same, sure. Some games, however, are routinely cheaper on sale on EGS than they are on Steam. "Alan Wake 2" in particular has been cheaper on EGS and came with &qu

It sounds like Facebook Marketplace. I bought counterfeit AirPods Max. They showed up as legitimate in the phone so I thought they were good, but they were fake. Before I realized what happened the seller blocked me, which apparently preven

I don't mind ticket IDs, but "Fixes #125" is not a very helpful message. Now I need to cross-reference an issue tracker just to understand what changed. I've been at places that required the ticket title be posted as wel

Isn’t that how competition works? Ideally, no company becomes so large that they don’t feel the pressure to remain competitive. Of course there’s countless examples of big players stagnating and becoming rent collectors with a captive marke

I don’t think you’d be required to use alternative app stores. You could keep using the Apple one if you wanted. Market forces should allow the best store to win. Having another “store” doesn’t necessarily mean having to get apps elsewhere.

Organized labor has effected plenty of change, both directly and indirectly. Safer working conditions, 40 hour work weeks, sick time, pay raises, etc.. Companies without unionized employees are incentivized to offer reasonable work conditio

It may be non-trivial to dig yourself out of a performance hole if you didn’t account for performance at all in the design. The pervasive idea that you can make it fast later virtually never pans out. In many cases, taking performance into

I'm sorry. I use the currency and had to think about what the values were. I was trying to follow the theme by the previous author, but I can definitely see how that'd be hard for others to follow. It's $360 USD (Franklin = $

Thanks. I overlooked the 12 TB. I'm not sure doubling the capacity and doubling the cost is really ideal for many, but it's nice to know it's there.

I don’t see how it’s obvious people wanted a Segway. Cost is one problem. They’re also large, making them difficult to store at either end of a destination. They’re a nuisance and safety risk for pedestrians. Riders kept toppling them. They

> The classic example of selling cars when they were invented is that all customers ever asked for was faster horses. I look at the Segway as a counter example. Maybe people really did just want a faster way to walk through a city. No of
