I can only speak from experience, but it's been absolutely solid, incredibly easy to maintain (because there's been so little change), and I don't feel like I missed out on any groundbreaking front end tech at all. I literall

I hear ya, but Elm allowed me to eject out of the javascript churn for the past 7 years while still building some slick UIs that basically never fall over. I literally don’t know or care what the current hotness is in javascript, and that’s

I'd keep an eye on Roc https://www.roc-lang.org/ Also, Elixir is working on gradual types, which is something I would keep an eye on. https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types

As a Canadian I'm not comfortable taking my kids to the states. We had Florida booked for march break (booked it back in October), but we cancelled. We did something else instead, and the kids had fun, so w/e. It's just not t

I think there are a few reasons. - Simplify (whether or not this is misguided, it's part of the appeal). - Autonomy. Being able to, even partially, move off-grid decreases your reliance on society. - Physical / nature. Sitting at

Sure I hear you. I agree that this distinction matters. What annoys me is that revocation is even an option at all. I think this scenario is such an edge case that it really doesn't need an exception, and if supporting it means having

> The degree isn’t some unrevocable item that you own. This is what I find so surprising. Having contractual stipulations I would need to abide by AFTER getting my degree for fear of revocation is nonsense to me, gross even. I don’t care

No cap, I did see an alligator two days ago on the golf course. There were a lot of abandoned balls around her (water trap).

Roku is pretty much the worst. They started out admirably, but completely sold out and turned into spyware a while ago now.

I had one, and I really liked it, but the 13" MBA just edged it out for me due to the added comfort and visibility. I've had various MBPs, but I continue to prefer a 13" MBA over a decade later. Any other laptop I try just fe

Swarms to block the cameras maybe? At this point though, couldn’t you just blow up your own country and thus accelerate warming so much as to doom the rest of humanity in a dozen years? I might have read the wrong article on that though so

Yeah we’re missing some info. What account were they authenticating with when attaching to psql? If you have the connection string why does psql even matter, couldn’t you use any client? Or is this a case of your input being forwarded to a

I love this pricing model as a potential customer. The cost is so little that it wouldn't be a deterrent. This is way better than another subscription. There's a lot of problems trying to run a business with this model though IMO

I remember about a decade ago setting up an iPad Air as my main driver for work (coding mostly). I got it to work by SSHing into a VPS to use Vim w/ a bluetooth keyboard. After about of month of stubbornly working like this, I finally

Good news! If you make more than $320,000 / year you'll benefit from a couple trillion dollars in tax cuts! That'll fix everything once it "trickles down"! Thank god we live in an era when we get to witness this gen

I was thinking Haskell not Rust :) But yes, for sure, you'd have to tackle it bit by bit with some sort of bridging if you decided it was worth it.

Pretty cool. Wouldn't work for me as my ISP is horrendously unreliable (Rogers in Canada, I swear they bounce their network nightly), but I might consider colocating a mac mini at a datacenter.
