Seriously, go to the link. It literally says it on the README.

Tbf, it was in summer so a lot of outdoor dining options. But yes, overall, dumb.

He said the guy shouldn’t be making music, which takes it from technical criticism to bs. It’s the music that counts, not how it’s made.

Dude, chill. End result is what matters, if it’s music, it’s music.

Ugh, I can just imagine what the product managers for this feature are like.

Cool that people are doing a live view type thing in Rails, but it introduces a lot more complexity without the BEAM

Going through dataquest.io has been super rewarding. Backfilled a lot of forgotten stats and probability knowledge, math, learned data science python, good sql practice and now going through different ML techniques. Totally worth it if you

I don’t think it’s that surprising. Most web dev is just doing mundane CRUD, and mostly through ORMs or other db abstractions. If you don’t practice something how can you be expected to be good at it?

Yes, it definitely can be. LiveView will create real problems when the user is many hops from the server. I say this as someone who has gone all in, but currently we're UK based and only serving the UK market. Multi-region scaling for

Spotify overall would be hugely improved if we could just filter and navigate by labels, for electronic and particularly for Classical.

“ What I am describing here looks like a VC fund, but has some features of an incubator. I would not suggest that it makes sense to assemble a permanent team of developers and producers. But instead a light team of product experts who can b

We’ve gone all in and are using it a lot in production. There is one big trade off to consider though: point of presence and global availability. We’re ok, as we’re a UK based website and hosted in GCP europe-west2, but we had devs in NZ fo

Kubernetes has been great for us and is much easier to manage over time than servers. There’s an adoption cliff, but I’d take kube over spinning your servers with puppet any day. Hell I might even run kube if I was running bare metal. Decla

“Welp, you broke production. Pack your things, you’re fired.” Ugh, when was this humour ever funny? I'm a manager, I like to joke around with my team. There's a lot of comedic ground to cover before you start joking about people b

I miss google doing this for us by aggregating collections of useful blogs and articles written by people thoughtfully comparing things, but now google is too busy giving sites like this and all the others ranking, starving actually useful

Not Wim Hof, but during the pandemic I've switched from swimming indoors to outside in a local lake which is a open water swimming spot managed by the council. I switched in the height of the northern summer - so no need for a wetsuit

Your last sentence chefs kiss . And also keeps the foreigners out of the so-called 'no-go' zones that the cities have become, despite none of the people calling for this living in the cities or even coming into contact with forei

They’re not all on them at all times though, nor paid equally by each app at all times. From memory Uber penalises being online and passing on work, so assume there’s algorithms for that with all of them. Then you have the fun one where som

Irony now is that, thanks to competition, getting a car in London if it's busy now requires trying your luck with Kapten, Bolt, Uber, Ola, and, if all fails, Gett/FreeNOW for a Black Cab. All the drivers freely admit that they&#x2

That's not a choice we can make, the only choice here is the one Brendan Eich made when confronted with the consequences of his actions.

Yeah, it might be too much politics, and yeah, it sets the tone...but he was the CEO! This culture at least partially came from him as well - give me an example of a CEO with no impact on company culture. The point is not that he mistreated

He donated money to a political cause directly against some of his employees, got called out on it and refused to compromise. I'm sure those are admirable characteristics in some situations, as the CEO of an organisation like Mozilla t

Mind blowing that such a pedestrian (dare I say Protestant?) life is so venerated and celebrated. Do as you like, but is this guy really one of our deities? The whole glory of work thing is so droll. Outcomes are what matter imo.
