It’s too slow to need them on the road. You can just jump off and stop.

But… I don’t follow anyone on LinkedIn, I don’t use it as a social network. This suggestions seems like how you’d make it a better “work twitter” which is a product I don’t think I need.

It doesn’t have a viable substitute for me. So… seems like they’re successfully exerting monopoly pressure on some people. I use iMessage for conversations where everyone is on iPhones and Signal for mixed groups. iMessage isn’t the only re

And from a semantic perspective: one of the key definitions of Monopolies (from Wikipedia) is they are characterized by a lack of viable substitute goods. It's pretty clear to me that blocking Beeper is an attempt to ensure that iMessa

Disclosure: I love Apple products and all my devices are Apple. This is absolutely monopolistic shenanigans. Complaints about monopolistic behavior in the smartphone market from Apple are always met on HN with “Apple doesn’t have a monopoly

enshittification is a useful lens for understanding various aspects of platforms. I think it's actually pretty eloquent.

Do you have tests? I feel like 60% of the errors I encounter is high for type errors. I also feel like with testing, fixing those errors occupies less than 5% of my debugging time.

Great. There are ways around that, ultimately you can work that into the model as a discount. Pretending that fuel isn’t part of the equation doesn’t help though.

But if you’re comparing to switching to a different mode, you have to include the cost of gas. That’s what this article is about?

What is it that you want that this doesn’t offer?

You explicitly need to include the cost of fuel. So what is the scarier number?

Hard pass. You can go back to sending letters with your SSN for employment, taxes, etc and ideally that should mean that your information doesn’t go on the internet. But you’re in the minority in wanting that hassle.

Have you seen Apple Maps recently? It’s great. I switched over a few month ago.

Not having the bridge blow over or vibrate apart.

After reading that, I understand exactly where he’s coming from - I too have overridden a bunch of Devise in a bunch of different ways in various projects. But, unlike the rest of Elixir and Phoenix, this approach doesn’t feel like an elega

I agree with the code generation of libraries in Phoenix being a drawback. I think it maybe a reaction to there being too much magic in Rails dependencies, but it makes upgrades much harder.

Because it’s interesting and relevant.

This! Python testing ergonomics are terrible, worse than Js. It’s a reason I love Elixir.

What are the other good reasons? All my experiences with Discourse have been great.

Oh wow, thanks for sharing, I’m installing tabfs. That being said, tabdb is useless, but that isn’t a bad thing.

I second this! Every Apple Pay integration I’ve used has been a flawless, so much so that it makes it slightly more likely I’ll buy a product because it’s so fast and easy.

Hmmm. I think the point was that NIMBYs fight bike lanes because they’re concerned about what they could bring. Which, as the comment stated is not at all what bike lanes actually deliver (higher property values, white folks in silly clothe

I can say there has never been a time where I’ve preferred having a button instead of scrolling. I’ve interacted with sites where scrolling locked in to pages, and I thought that was fine (As I say this, that sounds like “swiping” - which I

I think this could be rewritten as “only white upper-middle class people complain about these things” which doesn’t mean they’re the only ones offended or upset

It seems like a response. The parent said a source of regret was “I can’t take up new hobbies” and this response was “involve your kids in your hobbies”
