oof, that is brutal. I just ordered one and assumed it would support it. My imac from way back in 2012 supported it and with connectivity only improving since then it never crossed my mind that it wouldn't support it.

I spend a large portion of my week on video calls with colleagues, whether it's discussing requirements, pairing, bouncing ideas off someone or just shooting the shit before standup. I don't feel that my contact time has changed s

I've been working remotely for nearly 10 years now and I think it's a mistake to look for "remote" jobs. If you've got a strong skillset then most developer roles can be remote. If a company allows developers to wor

Elm defines separate functions for each element type which in js would look like view: () => div({id: "app", class: "container"}, [ div({class: "filter"}, [ " Filter: ", spa

No, I inherited a project that was using it a number of years back. After 6 months we migrated away to postgres. The data was really relational so it was just the wrong tool for the job. I can see that it might have value as a document stor

Couldn't agree more with this. After 15 years of OO with Java/Ruby/Javascript I switched to Elixir and Elm and have really enjoyed not just the freshness of something new but the elegance of the more mathematical approach tha

As an Elm dev jumping into swift a couple of weeks ago I decided to just do the nav myself. I have an enum for Page and switch over that in the view. It seems far more obvious to use than the built in nav which doesn’t actually do an awful

The first example with polynomials could be achieved using closures already. Type erasure on closure contexts seems unfortunate and fixing that seems like a better long term solution (granted it's probably far harder to solve). Was exc

What was the motivation for `callAsFunction`? It's a toy example so `Dice(...)` is clearly bad compared to `Dice.roll(...)` but what's an example where it brings clarity over the alternative?

99% of the code I write is test first. It makes my life easier - I always know what to do next and it reduces the amount I need to keep in my head. TDD done the way many developers do is a PITA though. When I write a test it will start off

While it's easy to nod along with their justification for no hints the practical reality is that if the query planner gets it wrong you can have query time an order of magnitude slower. This is particular obvious when using gin indexes

The side effects can be pretty nasty. I took it for 6 months and the stomach pain and diarrhoea never went away. Berberine however acts on the same pathways as metformin and doesn’t cause the side effects. As a bonus you don’t need a prescr

I've cross trained a few react/redux devs onto Elm and it's been a really easy shift for them. Many js devs are leaning more on a functional style anyway, for those devs Elm gives them a language which is designed for the way

After learning Elm for a few months I picked up a Haskell book. When I got to the Functor, Applicative and Monad chapters I discovered that I’d actually been using them for months without knowing it. Having had practical experience with the

Perhaps it could actually prefill the standard find dialogue and scroll to the first match, then you could easily see if there was more matches and jump to them.

Your typical bootcamp course takes 8-10 weeks. It's (hopefully) a carefully crafted experience that will get people to a standard where they can be useful within a fairly constrained setup e.g. build crud apps with rails. Given that yo

Make of it what you will but they appear to be a bunch of commits that amount to removing white space or adding/removing comments with messages like "Code refactoring". It looks a lot like someone trying to get their git blam
