That is not the hallmark of literate programming, but the hallmark bad/unhelpful code comments or docs. Like, you can also have bad/unhelpful function names or unclean and tangled …

The remontoire has a technical/practical modern use in the Zeitwerk.

Some links do not have information yet, others do, for example https://hotwire.io/frameworks/laravel or https://hotwire.io/frameworks/django .

No.

No, Hotwire is framework agnostic it is web components and JavaScript, basically. You can Google Hotwire with Django, or Laravel, or many others ( https://hotwire.io/frameworks ).

The article section about interpreted vs compiled is incorrect. .exs files are compiled just like .ex files are. The only difference between `elixirc` and `elixir` is that the form…

This is not true. In Ruby, tests are the same you'd write in any other language. You test that things do what they are supposed to do, not the types of parameters or return values.…

The Atmos does not have a seconds hand. All models except two do not have minute indications. I believe that is going to difficult measuring accuracy. You can approximate something…

It is read-your-writes semantics, and the metadata is stored in the session.

It is your choice. You are in charge and freelancing gives you the opportunity to bill _less_ and leave space to other important things in your life for which a regular job would c…

This project is wonderful. Dozens of cities over the world are opening their doors to its citizens thanks to it. In Madrid, inhabitants have a direct vote on how to spend _millions…

I have tried a bunch. Notion is super cool, but doesn't do tables at this moment (though they seem to be working on it). Some apps have one level of nesting only, which is not enou…

IMO an ORM is not a substitute for knowing SQL, much less studying the actual database. To me, an ORM is a tool that allows someone that knows SQL to write statements they would wr…

I have not watched the video, but for people reading only comments let me clarify. Numbers go naturals Rationals may have an infinite decimal expansion, like 1/3 has, but it has a …

This regexp is totally brilliant. It solves this problem in an unexpected way, because you think numbers, but the solution thinks strings. Not only that, the paradox, or its beauty…

I am sorry, those are programming languages whose name has one letter. For a true one-letter programming language please check SuperPython http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/SuperPython-0…

The author of the post had projects in SourceForge, also listed in Freshmeat. But they were not hubs at the GitHub level, contributing to Open Source was fragmented.

All merged by now, more than 60 signatures ATM.

The post is assuming nothing about the motivations, which anyone but founders can't but at most conjecture.

Constructive feedback is fine, but "I have told you, you know that, but you are ignoring me, what's wrong" is a different story. My reaction to that is 1) it shows you already sent…

Yes, in that case that's not your market. (Unless someone responsible for some of that budget hires you under those "local" conditions.) But in general, as in any product or servic…

In practice, this starts with my availability. Since I don't work with estimations my gigs do not have an estimated end date, because what I only care is that what I am hired for f…

I have been doing freelancing for the last 5 years without estimations or deadlines. Has worked so great, everyone involved is focused on the task, you iterate and concentrate on b…

I explored this technique applied to a few other problems just for fun, integer square root, coprimes, continued fractions, modulo, etc. https://github.com/fxn/math-with-regexps/bl…
