Really interesting that Starlink continues to improve the service when they have an absolute monopoly on fast, portable satellite internet.

I agree. It still needs a lot of work and is a far cry from ActiveRecord. I've been working on a wrapper around it to make it more usable, hoping to get as much of the work merged …

Actually, this post triggered me to try one more thing to fix this: launch tmux via a LaunchDaemon! It seems to be working. https://github.com/iloveitaly/dotfiles/commit/b205c51cfb…

I have this exact same problem and it drives me absolutely mad.

I've been using it for awhile and love it: https://github.com/iloveitaly/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/s...

I very much agree here. I've had the best luck when there is as little as possible config in CI as possible: - mise for lang config - direnv for environment loading - op for secret…

Caddy is really great. In prod, but most surprisingly for all environments. - There's a great tool, localias, which uses Caddy for a local dev server https://github.com/peterldowns…

This is a stellar point. Appreciate the response. I don't understand the Muslim, Hindu, and Buddist worldview/culture. I'd love to. What causes them to have large families? Why is …

This is a big problem, but not allowing a new invention or regulating it won't fix the issue. Decreasing freedom doesn't fix anything. I have four kids. Without a Christian worldvi…

We open-sourced our text-to-sql product last year too (way more simple than this): https://github.com/ryanstout/question_to_sql These sorts of businesses are really hard to build: …

Is there any clear source of products the EU considers safe? i.e. how are these decisions made and documented.

Amazon employees do :) They must be thrilled by this news.

My meta take on this is there is no real critique. The article is just articulating that we don't know too much so we shouldn't focus on it, which seems like an incredibly dumb con…

Awesome comment. I'd love to hear your take on: 1. Best place to learn more about Fecal Microbiota Transplantation 2. How do you increase SCFA-producing microbes? 3. Your take on t…

Stripe has done a lot of work on a ruby type system ( https://sorbet.org ) and has been working on a ruby compiler as well ( https://sorbet.org/blog/2021/07/30/open-sourcing-sorbet…

I wonder how long it will be until Apple is running their own fabs, or at least diversifies away from heavily relying on TSMC. Has anyone seen news to this effect?

I've really enjoyed Cron. Great product, high feature velocity, building the right stuff for users. Happy for them!

Surprised Resque isn't thrown in the mix here. It's performed very well over the years, even as the workloads and scale of the application has grown (from 100s transactions a day, …

I've learned a bit about farmland investments via https://www.acretrader.com recently. 690M for Gates is a small amount and is just part of a properly diversified portfolio: farmla…

This is a minority opinion, but I very much agree. https://fightthenewdrug.org has the data. I'd be curious to understand data or reasoning that makes a compelling argument for the…

I have a friend who works for the big four in M&A. He said there's a rush of deals with explicit EOY deadlines because of the tax environment uncertainty. I can't imagine this does…

I really enjoy Elixir. I've used for a fun side project. It's an awesome language with some really interesting concepts. However, I wouldn't use it for a real project: 1. The ecosy…
