Obsidian is pretty sluggish on my computer, especially when scrolling even short documents. But that's probably possible to improve in the future and no fault of Electron. As a comparison, VS Code is super snappy even on very large doc

I've never had any issues with the E2E tests in my company either, and I'm unsure where the flakyness would even come from. Using Cypress with great success.

What product has better search in your experience? I personally find Slack's search experience to be one of the better I've ever used.

Try to find these people then! I seriously doubt you will for a change like this. The UI changes are good for the reason GP states.

What? There’s so much magic in Elixir and it’s ecosystem. Controllers in Phoenix, various handle_info overloads and requires implementations, misspelled atoms, pattern matching and mismatches with names structs, the implicit return… there’s

The exakt same thing happens in the backend. Kubernetes, docker, procfiles, apt, yum, various frameworks and languages...

IMO pattern matching often makes the code harder to read, especially with deep destructuring spanning multiple lines. Could be our codebase, but writing code prolog-style has always made it neigh-unreadable to me.

It annoys me how much Elixir zealots proselytize the language as the the objectively best thing since sliced bread, and all other languages are worse. But it's a well written article. Good on them for finding Elixir useful, but none of

What? No, Swedes smile a lot and have a lot of polite set phrases. Although it's more rare to hear people say "good" to an "how are you", it's usually some variation of "jovars", "can't comp

This is a great idea! I'm a visual learner, and better att speaking than writing, so this is probably something I should try to do more. I've only done it once so far, but I created a short video with Loom to demonstrate how a bug

The issue is that the debugger stops execution at the breakpoint, but most often I want to analyze multiple print statements together. The debugger and repl have their uses, but IMHO I am usually better served by adding a print and having t

Can you pin versions in apt? Last time I checked it involved a lot of work and swearing, but that might have improved lately.

I find it hard to find the right time to take vacation - I'm almost always doing something interesting at work, so it's always stimulating enough that I won't think too much about taking time off for extended personal project

Unfortunately no, python cannot distribute pre-compiled dependencies for Alpine Linux yet.

What logging tools are you using? We have a couple of Elixir stack and their logging functionality leaves much to be desired at the moment, compared to the Python standard logging library. I'd like to improve it but haven't found

Generic foreign keys / Polymorphic relations. I.e. table Foo can either point to table Bar or table Xuul. This type of relation shows up quite a bit, and either leads to application-level workarounds, or having to add many duplicate

Would you mind mentioning some good options? I've always been interested in databases, but find it hard to know which ones to learn more about and when they'd actually be worth investing in (especially since it's hard to buil

On behalf of the people that DO like praise for continuing to meet or works hard to meet expectations, thank you! I'm always surprised with how many people (especially at this site?) doesn't seem to like praise and approval.

What do you use instead? I've tried and used 10-15 programming languages in my days, and while I haven't used them all professionally Python is still by far my preferred language out of all that I've tried. TypeScript comes i

What would your replacement language of choice be? Personally I'd balk at forcing all my developers to learn the new, untested language. The grass always seems greener before jumping over the fence.

I like emojis quite a bit, and I suspect many other people do to. I'd be sad if the CLI tools I use today stopped outputting them, and I feel their output would lose a lot of clarity. Many people are more visually oriented, and are gre

You sound like me. Have you found any note taking mobile apps that can also sync with Dropbox to be edited as plain text files? I do most of my note taking in vim on my laptop, but when I only have my phone I'm reduced to use simplenot
