This seems like it could be interesting if it could generate migrations for specific database frameworks as model diffs.

Useful suggestion, thank you.

I have an Objective-C/Cocoa project that uses Javascript as it’s embedded language. That’s because the bridge is right there and makes interacting with Objective-C objects trivial. That said I dislike JS as a language and the environme

I find it ironic since they essentially booted me off their platform for creating some vaguely-commercial content (I was a paying customer at the time). Left a very sour taste in my mouth esp. since other people they seemed to ignore.

If you have passion, age is just a number. I’m turning 50 this year and bootstrapping a startup alongside my consultancy business. Whether to take the “safe” option of a job I can’t help you with. You’ve struggled to make things work on you

I've been using Roam, more-or-less daily since late 2019. Prior to that I had spent a lot of time with TheBrain as a tool for organising thought, before that there were others. I also spent a couple of years building a tool that Roam s

The Guardian is left-wing although the champagne socialists branch where the Daily Mirror is more the working class socialist paper. Check out the Tortoise or Byline Times articles on the subject if you want something more nuanced.

Something I don't understand from here in the UK: if they did a new round wouldn't you have pre-emption rights? So, if they set the valuation to $0 you'd be able to afford to take them up and avoid dilution? What am I missing

The industry term is leverage but, fundamentally, yes.

I tried going through your sign up process to see if I could just get notified if you start in the U.K. but it seems you assume anyone coming to the site is in the US. I for one would welcome something like this.

del.icio.us was a social bookmarking site, i was a user back then for a while. While there were similarities, it didn't aggregate content per se. and was solving a rather different problem.

k-Collector was aggregating many feeds and building a browsable content database indexed by a community created taxonomy based on facets such as who, what, where, and when. Yes, each tag had its own RSS feed (I believe we also supported fee

There are lots of threads I could respond to but let's take this one to begin with: > Despite this, I disagree with the assessment that it is a major bottleneck for the RSS ecosystem. I have never used Google Reader, so I don’t have

This is why I caveated my statements. AdBlockers, Privacy guards, and so on change the game as more people use them. That said, I've seen no stats but I wonder if that's even a majority. It's also worth remembering that they

The simplest response, although there are several, is control. If I am on your site you have (some) control over my experience and potentially information about me & what I do. If I consume your content via a feed I can (more easily) ig

I'll address this here: it's something that I took as a given so didn't cover when I wrote the post. RSS is not dead, as a protocol it still works, some sites still publish RSS feeds and some of them are even more than useles

Hi Blake. Alas, most of my email archive from that period disappeared in the intervening years. I'd love to be reminded of what we were talking about. m@t

As I've written in some other comments, because of my lack of foresight I wasn't clear enough. I've put this in other comments but, briefly, it's not the protocol RSS that has a problem. It's the RSS-enabled future

Not knowing how people might respond to this post I didn't think to be clearer. The RSS protocol works as well as it ever did. I'm not mourning the protocol. And yes there are sites that do publish feeds, some even full-feeds but

What I am was trying to express in my post was about the loss of centrality of RSS as a means of distribution of all kind of content. Yes RSS as a protocol works as well as it ever did, but RSS as a system is nowhere. In 2003/4 which i

No indeed, I did not perceive it as an attack, rather as hinting at concerns that I am not aware of and I'm grateful for your comment and the links (and thank you for your compliment). Reading what you've written I wonder if this

IIYC you're suggesting that what I am depending upon here is convenient but problematic? My understand is not yet sophisticated enough to follow your point about "not being able to start mutiple copies of the dependency with diffe

If I understand you correctly your comment boils down to whether or not you agree with the approach that Elixir and Erlang take to mutability. In other langauges (even in Clojure, where I have a lot more experience) there are mutable global

Brilliant, thank you. I assumed that, with Elixir macro support, someone could implement protocols with full pattern matching. Just way above my current pay grade!

Honestly I wouldn't be using Elixir if it wasn't for my co-founder's singing the praises of Phoenix & Liveview. I'd tried it once about a year ago but couldn't see any advantage over Clojure (esp. with re-frame)

Funky, I hadn't even noticed I had switched back when I started thinking about Clojure and that it's not legal Elixir. I had to go check my Elixir code to find the _'s!
