I switched fully to elixir close to a decade ago now and library availability is still lagging. For pretty much any company I can be pretty sure there will be JS/Ruby/Python/C#/Java integrations/libraries and occas

$3 is small enough that almost everyone will just eat the cost. I have a theory that they do this intentionally in some things(well Uber I've never used lift). Almost every time I order food and something is wrong or missing they&#x2

Everything you didn't create is untrusted. It seems an overly limiting way to interact with a device and you're giving up a lot of the benefits of a general computing device for some artificial but inconsistent rules. To each thei

I'm impressed at the way you've managed to extend the life of your hardware by the simple trick of not using it.

I have an m1 mbp and I have a 2015 sitting around somewhere and I can't really tell the different between to two. I skipped over the butterfly generation though. The performance improvement on the m1+ just make it a no brainer for me

Ask anyone who had to deal with supporting IE back in the day what the cost to the world is fort supporting tech laggards. They are an anchor on tech growth and a real issue. If you're running an insecure device past it's support

Context matters though. If you're in a place that has always been about baseball and you say "I have to admit I don't know what a pitcher is" it's going to be a bit weird for the regulars. In this case though I gue

Yes, everything has a lifetime, 10 years is a very good run for a complex piece of technology you can carry in your pocket. Send it in for recycling. So that we can have better features and functionality in our future systems. Backwards c

It's just weird I guess as someone thats been here a while that there are users that don't know the word VC given its history in the VC/tech startup community.

No one is holding back software because they aren't being allowed. If we were forced to support decade+ old devices though software would for sure be held back. Laggards cost society by running insecure devices that generally impact t

You can opt out of updates by not using new software. You want the best of both worlds.

Windows 10 is EOL. As a fellow internet user I'm glad Microsoft is taking a harder line these days on people running EOL software. The internet has a history of being swamped by people running EOL versions of Windows full of security

In the late 90s/early 2000s desktop computing was moving at such a pace that an 8 year old PC was near unusable. Overtime progress slowed and its not unusual to have a decade old desktop now. The problem is thinking that mobile has s

They didn't admit bad intent. They admitted to doing something with good intent(the slowing was to stop crashes with near EOL batteries) but that they weren't transparent about it. I'd much rather us have progress and people

You say no need for staff then describe the need for technical staff with specific sysops capabilities. You can pay for a lot of seats with a $70k salary and that's on the very low end. If you account for opportunity cost you have to b

If you're a large org then adding dedicated staff to manage servers probably makes financial sense but you're also large enough that you're paying support contacts that are probably not far off that Saas price anyhow. If you&

I started using it because I just found it a much nicer way to define my data, auth and interactions with it compared to contexts. It also makes it easier to reuse it and because of the way the data is modeled you get a lot of nice things l
