what great answers could look like here? A one way to address that is via tooling (e.g. to visualize state across time) but maybe there’s something more fundamental to be solved he…

What? Does the idea of employment seem kinda novel in this take? You can gain significant impact multipliers by focusing human attention on a single goal. And not many things do th…

> you should really use a well designed layer between yourself and FDB. A few are out there. Any recommendations? All I could find is https://github.com/FoundationDB/awesome-founda…

If a person belongs to the society, then sick, suffering people are not a value but a cost and killing them becomes net gain for society. It's very dangerous to give away body auto…

I understand your worry, but I've had a quite opposite take on this. I think we can agree that it's not that hard to find ANY job as an experienced developer. However it's much mor…

I do definitely recommend Clojure - I've switched to it in 2019 coming from Rails and JS and never looked back. Clojure's job market is great, there's no shortage of offers, even f…

I went from Ruby on Rails, then Javascript/Typescript to finally land at Clojure in 2019 and I'm not looking back. Clojure has been a perfect fit for my needs, very similar to what…

Would you say, for someone starting in the same place as OP, that it's better to skip K8s entirely and just go with Nomad?

The punctuation serves a purpose of separating thoughts from each other and conveying the tone. In messaging apps you separate thoughts by sending them as separate messages and con…

Nowadays, you can get VSCode support for Clojure pretty much out of the box with calva[1] extension working together with clj-kondo [2] almost without any configuration. It works g…

You're on to something. Low code platforms, at their core, allow you to define the software with data (from predefined components usually through UI) and that's how they enable sup…

The most humanitarian solution to the collapse seems to be a combination of both: Global Universal Basic Income and Global Carbon Tax. Global GDP [1] = $142000bn Human population […

> UBI is one of those ideas that is theoretically awesome but doesn't survive contact with reality You don't know that - you just base it on your theory. Of course, every idea gets…

> Probably minimum wage would have to be raised so that people would want to work as a maid or McDonald The beauty of UBI is that government mandated minimum wage, with all its dra…

It needs to be universal so it doesn't penalize work. If there's any set limit, it'll create pathologies around it like people not taking up a job because it would lead them to loo…

The downsides are not clear to me as well. The only argument I could think of is a nationalistic sentiment that nations should live & work together but I find it poorly motivated i…

This submission points to a pretty landing page instead of directly to the article, but of course the discussion stays relevant.

If you're looking for potential alternatives to REST and GraphQL, I suggest checking out how Fulcro [1] works together with Pathom [2] using EQL [3]. It's a data-driven full-stack …

The original question made this mistake probably because the poster didn't know it but Pathom is the actual alternative to GraphQL-based APIs. Datalog solves a subtly different pro…

Rails were successful in the 2005-2015 era of server-rendered HTML but today MVC + REST API might not be enough anymore for solo founders to compete in multi-platform, client-rich …

I would add cryptic error java stacktraces to this list but, as someone who recently overcame the "java is gross" bias, I'd say benefits of JVM and its vast ecosystem outweigh the …

I have a feeling that this book is _the_ advice. It's literally in the subtitle: "Upgrade Your Reasoning and Make Better Decisions with Mental Models". I imagine mental models have…
