I know that Salesforce is committed to the 1% initiative, so maybe this falls into that. 1% can do a lot at their revenue.

I'm an Elixirist, love the idea of "let it crash", and I still code defensively. To me these phrases are more about the guarantees—if it does crash it recovers—and less about dogmatic advice that everyone follows. But there&#

Addiction to anything is harmful. I don't make the leap that everything should be banned.

For sure. Recognized. I've been in the situation where it's not a choice. So that is where my view comes from. It probably worked out better for me personally than if it didn't happen, so I'm not upset now.

I think you're right after reading more. Sounds like RSU are expiring. Not sure about options but 10 year is the options limit so that would align with the age of the company.

I'm a bit cynical when I see stuff like this. Is it a way for the company to exit employee shareholders and put that equity into investor hands? Especially at a discount from peak? That can be good for employees (money in your bank is

I believe that self pub can make the most, but I'd be hard pressed to recommend it for a first book. Maybe survivorship bias in the results? I know plenty of self pub authors that never cleared $1000 of sales. But then you have people

Writing a book was a ton of fun. It's challenging but really makes you dig deeper into something you're already an expert in. Really accelerated my own learning while creating a product that shares my experience with the world. Pu

I think I made significantly more working with pragmatic bookshelf than I would have self publishing. That may be particular to pragmatic though, as they have a fairly loyal reader base.

A small tweak to the "old style" plan that I'd look at is running the new service in parallel with the old but not actually taking customer facing action. For example, send all writes to the new microservice when the write ha

I bought a house in 2021 and not only was the mortgage rate 2.75, they also waived PMI for 10% down. I don't think we would've gotten this same house without that combination. Feels like it will be a while before it's that lo

LiveView is also state and components. + It has a view of the DOM to optimize the data it sends over wire. It's a complete way to build complex apps. I've personally built fairly decent complexity SaaS (18mo of dev) completely on

"you just need to write better code to have composition with jQuery" To be clear I don't believe that, but that's analogous to what I hear when I see this. LiveView has composition of components, so there's an immed

"What problem does React solve? You can just use HTML and jQuery to build websites." To me LiveView is not about interactive apps so much as it is a way to build applications, period. You can build in a way that may bring you more

I've been eating the premium blue eggs at my store because they didn't increase their price at all. Even though it's still a little more than a normal dozen, it's well worth it since they taste better.

I don't understand this sentiment. Websites can't use these permissions so it's not applicable at all.

It also matches with my experience fwiw. The biggest issue I saw with qualitative is that it almost always was used to reinforce an existing idea that the PM has. I've never heard a PM say they learned something surprising and are reco

I don't quite get the hate for Twilio here. I've found them to be generally responsive when issues are brought up. How would it be possible for them to police every action of their customers? I expect actions to be brought against

Does the current location of the earth affect that coordinate system at all, or i is negligible due to distances?

by sb8244 4y ago
Yes. Being able to do this at the programming language level is extremely powerful and creates an entirely different way of building applications. My go-to analogy is building a city (lots of individual, isolated, separate stack processes)

I remember when I was learning Elixir—I asked my co-worker / Elixir mentor how Elixir solves concurrent programming, data access, etc. His cheeky but accurate response was "How do you solve a problem that you don't have?&quot

by sb8244 4y ago
Thanks for that. My thought is probably just semantics then. I think it's even more nuanced, but doesn't really matter for this type of post. (I am actively writing a chapter exploring this topic, so is has been top of mind.)

I'd be curious about latency for frequent access and the 1MB quota. I think that may make it a similar solution on the surface, but fairly limited in usage. I was powering a fairly large amount of state, to the point we had to diff sta

My favorite chrome extension pattern is state stored in background page that's communicated with injected content scripts via redux + actions. You get a crazy powerful state management model that can allow traditional web pages to feel

This happened in 2010 in USA high school.

We also tried to do this... But it turned out that our chem teacher wore open-toed shoes that day (not a lab day for her) so she made us detonate it all ourselves.

by sb8244 4y ago
We did not say that we got the idea / recipe from this book of course. We actually got the idea from our previous chem teacher who retired the year before. (Meaning first year for the new teacher.) This was in 2010.

I used this to make NI3 (feather explosive) in high school as part of my senior project. It was somehow blessed by the teacher. The book very specifically says to not make this due to how volatile it is. We made it in the morning and put it
