    I'm just over here wondering how/where/when I can buy this

    Insane is still far too easy. For the highest skill level it should be -really- hard. Was still able to solve one in under 3 minutes. I -love- this idea though!!

    Wasn't QUIC all done in the 3.x versions? Is there something in this release related to QUIC support?

    Oh man, this must just be subjective because I find Ecto to be beautiful compared to the absolute trainwreck of Activerecord. Having compile time guarantees through Ecto is wonderf…

    I agree with this sentiment, though in practice it doesn't seem to be much of an issue the vast majority of the time. Sometimes you do need that niche library though, and end up fo…

    Very true it is actually designed for telecoms, but like you mentioned the distinction is so small it's not really even a stretch to say it is purpose built with at least the gener…

    > Add in problems finding developers skilled in Elixir and Phoenix and the small available libraries. Is this actually a problem you see? I'm going on 15 years in the industry and …

    After programming with elixir and phoenix for a few years (with many prior years of rails experience) I have a hard time seeing why one would choose rails. Elixir is more performan…

    To expand on this, many states have a large white pine lumber industry. The white pine is highly susceptible to a type of fungus harbored by currants. The fungus does not spread fr…

    One of the most powerful features of vscode is extensions. Until zed has a comparable extension set to rival all the things I use in vscode, I couldn't care less about 50ms vs 70ms…

    Typescript takes away a significant amount of the pain for me; the only hold up after that was getting an environment set up to compile it. Deno supporting typescript without any c…

    I've done freelancing before at 4 days a week and loved it, and have generally negotiated into 4 day workweeks at various startups. Give a shout-out to your company if they're hiri…

    As someone currently growing more cucumbers than I can handle (gardener problems), I've been eating at least 2 a day of a few different varieties, including a somewhat bitter pickl…

    Because the FDA exists?? Because that would be fraud to claim otherwise, and fruit/veg sources are easily traceable back to their source, particularly at quantity?

    Do you have evidence to back up this claim? I'm aware CA puts many warning stickers on various products... but isn't it possible that profit-seeking corporations are, in fact, usin…

    Lots of comments here opposed to Martin Fowler's advice. I'm curious if anyone who is anti-Fowler has software design books they _do_ recommend? (Asking because I'd love to read th…

    I have a hard time calling immense wastes of resources "wonderful". Think of how many man-hours of at least better-than-average engineers have been wasted developing something like…

    Given that this is Google, my money is on them either abandoning it, or making a new version every 2-3 years (for no discernable reason) making no actual progress as a result. I wo…

    This feels like saying no because of one very specific use case. I use a flat bottom wok on my electric stove almost every day. Adapt and you'll be fine.

    My honest take is that it's rare to name your tables and columns with all caps, whereas there are various cases where people do so with camelCase and snake_case. In the end this ma…

    Have you seen the ReactConf talk on hooks? [1] It's absolutely worth the watch, even if you're somewhat familiar with hooks. They go through the pitfalls of class-based components …

    There is no such thing. They have to have meant v10, and climbing v10 "in a few months" is an incredibly skeptical claim. Without some kind of gymnast background I honestly don't t…

    That's literally missing half of ikigai. Ikigai is the intersection of four concepts: 1. What you LOVE 2. What you are GOOD AT 3. What the world NEEDS 4. What you can get PAID FOR …
