I love apps like this. I currently use Numi daily for running financial-related tracking and scenarios. It has a few annoying UI quirks, so I'm super open for alternatives (especia…

Been waiting for someone to bring this up. Seems very widespread. https://downdetector.com/status/amazon/

DHH stated it in his "Let it all out" follow up post. > Yesterday, we offered everyone at Basecamp an option of a severance package worth up to six months salary for those who've b…

Looks to have been caused by a loss of utility power and subsequent backup generator failure at one datacenter. > 10:47 AM PDT We want to give you more information on progress at t…

I don't think equating 1 route = 1 component makes much sense. A route could be as simple as `/user/123` which shows an avatar and a name, or it could be `/billing` which has many …

I recently evaluated using Typescript's compiler or Babel + TS plugin, and decided to use Babel. The main reason was keeping access to the Babel plugin ecosystem without needing to…

Air Crash Investigation is great. It's like a true-crime show for engineering. What you gather after watching dozens of episodes is that almost all accidents happened many years ag…

I use Quiver[0] ($10) to store and organize work and personal notes. Their "cells" of content can be written in plaintext, code, markdown, or LaTeX. You can organize with folders, …

Yes, I would say they're an expected browser feature these days, with over 94% global browser availability [0] (basically anything >= IE10). The cool thing about Phoenix specifical…

I will wholeheartedly echo the sibling's suggestion for beets ( http://beets.io/ ). No music makes it into my collection unless it's been imported via beets. It has a powerful impo…

Did you evaluate or consider react-virtualized [0]? I've used it for one internal app that loaded a couple thousand rows and it worked well. I don't think it meets all your require…

I've had my last.fm account for over a decade and a what.cd account for most of its existence. You're correct that they provided similar resources for music junkies. You could prob…

Had a quick chat this morning with the people that worked on it. The package rebar3_elixir_compile[0] makes this pretty easy. However, our target Elixir lib is not a public hex pac…

We use both Erlang and Elixir where I work. We successfully use Erlang libs in our Elixir projects pretty easily. We recently started trying to do the reverse and use an Elixir app…

If what you're trying to accomplish is feasible and maintainable with "ordinary js ... and a bit of jquery" then using a full React+Flux stack like the OP outlined is complete over…

Ah, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Where do you listen to the interviews? I was recently obsessed with finding the interview he did with Larry David, but could not find it anywhere. Someone posted it on YouTube when…

I just want to echo the love for Subsonic (and the iOS iSub app). I happily used Google Music until I hit the (at the time) 20k track limit. Now that I've been running and using Su…

The Mythbusters did! Pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmVxSFnjYCA

FiveThirtyEight's "What's the Point" podcast recently had an episode mostly devoted to the Bloomberg Terminal. I found it fascinating. I would have never known it had its own secti…

What sort of problems did you run into when installing linux? I have an i5 model that runs OS X. I would think installing Ubuntu via bootable USB would more or less like installing…

NPM is the Node Package Manager. So, you must have node installed to get npm. https://nodejs.org/download/

I've been a fan of metal for so long that I get such a kick out of seeing how non-fans react to it [0]. As far as metal sub-genres go, "melodic death metal" is about as standard as…

Ha, no. I think I was just trying to make it non-specific because it could happen along any tz border. I added the article in case someone wanted specific locations.

I grew up in a northern, rural part of the US along the MST/CST divide. Our county was MST, so everyone's homes, schools, events, etc. were all MST. A significant portion of the ar…
