I think the “Mars” books (red mars, blue mars, green mars) proposed an interesting economic idea. In a world where automation and AI allowed physical stuff to be organized and built almost as easy as software, you didn’t really _need_ huge

So is this basically elixir’s Phoenix framework? One key feature of BEAM, has always been its ability to sustain high user count with this architecture, as its totally ok to have “a thread per user” on your server. Wondering now how hyperdi

I liked Herculanum a lot more - since its excavated using modern techniques, its very well preserved, with multi story buildings, interior spaces with preserved decoration. I was particularly enchanted with the baths / gymnasium /

While probably a very good indicator, I refuse to deadlift out of principle. You have to be _really_ careful especially as you get more fit, as one mistake and you just wreck yourself for life. And I’m not particularly risk averse (went on

Its more about incentives. If I’m trying to chase the weight number obsessively , as is the case with my level of OCD, I’ll be prone to eat less, run more or do other things to loose weight. But I don’t want to loose weight, I want to lo

I never understood why “weight” is such a strong proxy to “fitness” in the popular mind. I usually don’t care how much I weigh, as long as I look fit. Building muscle increases your weight, but makes you look better and be healthier. Also m

One company I worked for used to have an unofficial “ex-company” slack setup, where people would get invited to by others that have already left and were in there, it was kinda nice since you form bonds with people and suddenly they’re just

Hmm isn’t pickle designed for exactly this use case? External config module deps you pull for overall config validation. E.g. so you always write valid k8s manifests. And then you can extend them with your own additional validation rules fo

Oh yeah it does feel weird “dirty” somewhat. But to your suggestion - you can! Thats what components classes do in essence. When you have a bunch of styles that _always_ go together - you bunch em up. But in practice it is usually simpler t

Hmm, I’ve always considered tailwind like the spice to make css actually usable, kinda like elixir is to erlang, typescript is to javascript or C is to machine code. Its still CSS just the stuff that you _actually_ want to build is pre-pack

While that could be considered true, isn't it the same as saying "playing the satar" is a shitty surrogate hobby for people who are too afraid to travel and explore other cultures? A good hobby will positively affect one&#x27

It’s no surprise countries like india are indeed treating phones as infra, with their whole government stack centered around smartphones. You’re forced to have and use one, but in return you get free transactions, strong identity and variou

On the other hand seeing something through is usually an attribute people admire. Being able to persevere in face of adversity is not that bad of a trait to learn. I’d reckon if it’s your first/second time it’s better to stick with it

Hmm I’ve started doing some elixir as a side project and coming from typescript honestly I’ve found it a bit “dumb” and slow at the beginning. It didn’t allow you to write precise enough types, and would complain a lot about weird things. A

Does google even have any perspective on active warzones/frontlines? I would have thought natural disasters are common enough that they would have modeled that into their route algo, and warzones are kind of like one big natural disast

Hah welcome to cloudrun! I was evaluating it a few years ago to host some internal corporate app. It worked great and was way easier to deploy than k8s setups. However after some testing we found out that the core logic of the app - a long

Hah a kindred spirit. And I thought I was just weird for booking things last minute and not caring too much if it doesn't end up perfect. One of my best experiences have been when things "mixed up". No good story starts with

While I agree with the other comments and don’t find Children of Men all that believable, if we take the “magical” premise of the film of no new kids anywhere, I have found it one of the most gripping tales ever put on film. The expanse in

I really like how tips are done in most of europe, where the tip is included by default in the restaurant price. So now your choices are - add additional tip if you’re really satisfied with your service, or retract the default tip if you’

That gets me thinking, if the code is obvious enough it doesn’t need comments, is it useful code? Like in an ideal world, all the “how” is transparent and we’re left only with the juicy bits, that explain / define business needs. I’ve
