IMAP/SMTP isn’t really possible because it’s not E2E encrypted. You must use a protonmail client, or use their bridge application which encrypts/decrypts mail as it arrives/leaves your computer via IMAP/SMTP.

I prefer end-of-day reports of what was accomplished to morning standup. Blockers shouldn’t wait until the next day, and predictions of what is to be done that day are rarely accurate. End-of-day reports keep everyone in the loop without me

Both systems are arbitrary, but only the auction system provides for multiple people to contest the same domain. There’s no decentralized method to prevent scalping. Scalping can happen whether it’s first-come-first-serve or auction.

Handshake uses an auction, so everyone has a chance to get the TLD they want, if multiple people want it. That seems the most practical solution.

It depends on the product. Sometimes you can test the market without building anything, sometimes you just need a landing page, and sometimes you need to build an app. Sometimes you can build the app with no-code tools, sometimes you can us

If you don’t like your situation, you should change it. If you don’t enjoy full-time programming, figure out why and change it or do something else. I was in your situation once. I started remote contracting, then moved to a developing coun

Call your legislators and propose it. I use a virtual mailbox service, physicaladdress.com. They scan my mail and give me an online interface to view it. If I want, I can choose to scan the contents, forward it, or shred. It’s not a PO Box

HTML is already designed to be accessible. Writing accessible websites is mostly about using the intended HTML elements and attributes. Use <a> for links, use <form> for user input, with <label> and the proper input elemen

I use a GitHub action to build, send the new binary to a server, and then restart the app.

It’s pretty much just Scotty, but it’s parameterized by an environment (state) that can be read from actions/routes, and doesn’t use Monad transformers.

On second thought, there is one minor annoyance with Haskell: Most companies don’t release an API client for it, so I often have to make the HTTP calls myself to various third party services.

I enjoy it, the safety guarantees let me sleep at night, and the package APIs don’t constantly churn. The only thing that I usually can’t find a library for is API clients for various services. Most companies don’t make a haskell client. In

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad sumi.news works well on your device. I am wary of large frameworks, so I have not tried IHP. It looks nice though.

The most important thing for me is rapid development with no surprises and package churn, since I'm either trying to get an MVP out ASAP, or I'm trying to deliver under a deadline for a client. Here's an example of a working

If downtime is permitted, I just write a script to migrate the data and run it. I prefer to write this script in SQL, but if that’s not possible I’ll just use Haskell or shell. Often I can use this approach with no downtime leveraging a pro

Thank you for the compliment on sumi.news. Haskell has a mature library for JSON, Aeson. I often use it to interface with APIs. You write your type, then functions to serialize/deserialize. Records using simple types (Text, Int, Maybe,

It’s just too much money for business owners to leave on the table, despite being a dark pattern. Even if a product doesn’t necessitate a subscription, the revenue compounds, so subscriptions can be 10-100x the revenue of a one-time charge.

Once you have multiple pages, and moderately sized CSS/JS files, linking to them reduces the download time for each subsequent page, as the linked files are cached across pages.
