Pattern matching makes up for the lack of static typing for me. Combined with guard clauses it feels even stronger than static typing.

Pattern matching makes up for the lack of static typing to me. It provides nearly all the same benefits especially when used with guard clauses.

I just started learning Elixir recently and I'm honestly loving it. Pattern matching is awesome and how it approaches concurrency and async work was so easy to wrap my head around.…

I've had great success using AI to translate my thoughts into actual words on a page (not just for software development, but also amateur writing). Bridging the vocabulary gap.

Your situation is different from the one in the article. In your brother's case, it was end stage and so forgoing treatment to improve QoL makes total sense. In the article the sis…

I recall doing a tutorial for Exilir, the Phoenix framework in particular, a few years back and I actually enjoyed using it. Anyone know any good up-to-date tutorials someone could…

Two local businesses I frequent (one for baked goods and another for coffee beans) use mailing lists for membership and ordering. Only "drawback", if it even is one, is they rely o…

I always found handwriting notes to be more effective at getting my brain to actually remember them compared to typing. When it comes to writing though I'll always pick the keyboar…

Its interesting to think about it this way. Like, this community's "financial opsec" was their isolation from the rest of the world. No one on the outside can attack them if no one…

The earliest memory I have, that I actually consider a memory and not just a weird dream, is a sensation of feeling very warm and comfortable and then suddenly feeling very cold an…

They'll very likely get sued if they do.

One thing I've always stumbled on is finding the people to even ask the questions to. How do you contact people in the domain you're interested in and how do you convince them to g…

This. In hindsight, buying Twitter at a loss was well worth the long (though, more like medium) term results. As much as it disgusts me, I'm impressed.

The Streisand is "the more you try to hide something, the bigger its area of impact becomes".

Good on them. This decision proves they legitimately care about their business and want to see it succeed. I hope others follow their example and realize that selling to Big Tech s…

Juries can be manipulated. Allowing this to go to public trial risks the danger of Boeing getting off lighter or not facing punishment at all.

Personal conspiracy theory: HIPAA data was, or possibly is, being loaded into ChatGPT without the legally required safeguards. The recent "security concerns" that caused Microsoft …

Are they all just AWS resellers?

Theres Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, and Jim Davis, the creator of the New Balance sneaker brand. The New Balance one is the billionaire.

Theres "creators create because they like to create things" and "creators create things because they want to make a living off of what they create". If artists/authors/musicians/et…

I, personally, have actually been having pretty good results with berberine (yes, yes, I know its a TikTok trend right now). Its really helped control my hunger and I haven't notic…

What does "skilled enough" mean? Do you have any examples that demonstrate this?

Democrats and Republicans. Though only Democrats will be mentioned for idealogical reasons.

It's unfortunate, but to the person being bullied, their immediate concern is not the next weakest person. Their immediate concern is avoiding or fending off the bully.
