It’s a little thing, but one that keeps coming up again and again with new apps, so I thought I’d get down some thoughts about how the origin checks performed by Phoenix to protect…

I'm excited about this as a way to configure my Fly.io apps in a more declarative way. One of my biggest gripes about Fly.io is that there's a lightly documented bespoke config for…

Also, motor-driven pottery wheel, and old school transcription machines, where the pedal controls the rate and direction of audio playback

My favorite feature is the way source code links are added automatically and consistently. Just look for the little links to the right of the module / function / macro name!

That section struck me like a brick when I heard them reciting the Declaration on NPR yesterday morning. Later I saw this NYT opinion piece: "Did a Fear of Slave Revolts Drive Amer…

Oops: "...economic success equals human worth "

I don't know who originally voiced that critique, but Glenn Greenwald has been harping on 'stenographer jounalism' for a long time. https://www.google.com/webhp#q=glenn%20greenwald…

What about a simple policy of revisiting the salary discussion on a regular (annual?) basis. As long as it's transparent and universal (not just for people who ask for a raise ), i…
