It would be nice if you elaborated on what those problems are and how elixir solves them better than existing alternatives. All I ever see is people exclaiming how awesome it is and then the responses turn out to be underwhelming for variou

Can someone post/comment a more critical analysis of elixir if they can? It's really hard to figure out how useful it is because people always build up hype when it's not always worth it. All I ever see is how wonderful and m

This is pretty bad advice. Any workplace will have a fixed way of doing things that are suitable for their legacy code and existing practices. Not to mention most places don't really let you extend over to other areas. There's a b

The tooling around sql is pretty awful. I was looking for a vscode plugin to get some syntax highlighting and linting for postgres yesterday, and just gave up. There are plenty of administrative tools that help with connecting to dbs and sh

Having a good idea is at least half of what will determine a successful product. The problem is that people confuse having an idea with having a good idea. The latter will be something that has things like a justifiable business model, a bu

Tiles are awful. If they keep the same place, now you have to manage not only the content but also the order. If they shift around according to some metric like 'most used' then you have to visually search for the correct tile. An

Not having intrinsic value is why these mechanics were allowed in the first place. If they do have intrinsic value then it's straight up gambling. There's almost no difference between gambling with casino chips and magic the gathe

I thought this was supposed to be good for uber and lyft since it would choke out any smaller companies with less cash to burn in contrast to uber/lyft who have deep pockets.

To be fair, some of the offers those investors make are pretty awful and sometimes they treat the people on the show pretty badly. The show is mostly for entertainment and a lot of it is manufactured. If people go on the show trying to give

I am really curious why people are downvoting this. I've always thought that a more restrictive and simpler version of yaml would be a good alternative.

Well at least you could find an example. I couldn't find anything after like a minute of searching. Unless we're counting the gif that slowly shows you an example project letter by letter.

lightwave, Softimage are pretty much dead. 3ds max and maya are both owned by autodesk. So the former is better for architectural stuff and product design, the latter for modeling, rigging, animation etc. Blender is fairly close to both. Es

tbh I was kind of expecting something more than just KISS. That's like the most fundamental lesson in most creative areas including writing. There's a reason why short stories are harder to write than simple free-form essays. Also
