Yeah the page isn't ideal. Project is still early but you can follow it here: https://github.com/liveview-native #liveview-native on the Elixir slack is a great resource as well to learn more.

Laravel Livewire is… frustrating. I used it for 1-2 years and ended up learning Elixir so I could use LiveView instead. Livewires performance is terrible for anything other than very basic components. The fact that it has to rebuild state o

My favourite licensing models for self-hosted software are perpetual fallback licenses. Jetbrains does this well and their description of it is: A perpetual fallback license is a license that allows you to use a specific version of sof

I don't think PHP needs "saving". PHP jobs pay less because of supply and demand. There's likely more PHP developers out there than any other language. Higher supply leads to lower salaries. This isn't really a prob

> The CPU industry is rife with engineers leaving and starting their own successful company. You just proved GPS point. They said it happens 1-2 times a decade and you only provided 3 examples that spanned over 4-5 decades.

In high school we found we could use netsend to send messages to other computers; or every computer on the network at once. The rest of the school year was a back and forward where the sysadmins would try to block us and we would find ways

I’ve been using Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView exclusively for about 7-8 months now and it’s been so much fun. Can’t recommend it enough.

The best part about Livewire is that it was appealing enough to try out but bad enough that I left PHP/Laravel and moved to Elixir/Phoenix for the real deal.

I never said they were stupid, and I also never implied they stuff their faces with cake. People will order a salad thinking it’s a healthy choice and not knowing it has as many calories as a burger.

My theory, based on nothing, is that up until recently food was scarce so when it was available we had to eat for survival. The more calorie dense something was the more likely we were to survive. After millions of years of evolution we&#x2

Most people would probably lose a significant amount of weight just cutting out beverages with calories in them. A step further is to cut out fast food, boxed food, or anything pre-made. You should be doing 90% of your shopping in the produ

I think the real problem is that the vast majority of people know nothing about nutrition and thus are unable to make healthy decisions. Nutrition, diet, and cooking should be required courses in high school.

Not sure I totally agree. Capitalizing on a competitors mistake is kind of slimy; calling out their poor business practices is not. Users will invest their time and resources into using your product based on the promise that it’s free forev

Have you taken a look at Elixir/Phoenix? I've recently made the switch and I find it incredibly productive as a solo developer.

I like Jetbrains licensing. Essentially you pay for updates and once you stop paying you’re locked in at that specific version, but you can use it indefinitely.

Is this subtly just chasing dopamine hits by doing things that we are good at? I hadn’t played video games for years when COVID hit. Call of Duty Warzone launched and since my finances were in order, family was stuck at home, I promptly got

That’s around the time I started playing too. I still go through phases where I’ll get really into a new game. I don’t have the reaction time of the younger generation but the skills built up over decades of gaming allows me to stay competi

Hm, does that change anything? Atoms per molecule doesn’t seem important when we’re talking about the total weight. If anything jet fuel isn’t pure carbon so the math works out to create less CO2 than I calculated?

I have no clue what I'm talking about but this piqued my interest. If I ask WolframAlpha: Q:how many carbon molecules in 2.4 tons A: 1.092×10^29 molecules X molecules of pure carbon carbon would theoretically require 2X mole

Lots of complaints here but I personally love my OG HomePod. It sounds fantastic which is what I'm looking for out of a speaker. I personally have zero issues with Siri. It's basic but that's all I really need; all I use Siri

Which is why it’s important that you don’t share it until you have some momentum. Then once you do just realize that many people naturally look for reasons not to put in the work, instead of the opposite. Fear of failure? Fear of wasting th

Clearly at some point you’ll have to share it but the point is to get building and at least get an MVP out first. If you have the mental fortitude to press on after having your idea praised or put down then that’s fantastic but realize you’

I think more people have these ideas than they realize, but it’s the failure to act that holds them back. Just because there are competitors doesn’t mean there’s no room for you. Don’t look for reasons not to give it a shot. Don’t tell anyo

I’ve felt the same way. After years of patience and practice my kid has become a fantastic artist. I’m a bit concerned that at some point they might think “why bother?” and give it up after they see someone type some prompt in with “pencil,
