I follow a few landscape photographers on YouTube and really enjoy watching them go out into the field (whether it's an actual field or mountain or beach). They've got their art (a…

Yeah, from my experience the more helpful conclusion is "TTS is not commoditized yet". At some point in the next 5 years, convincing TTS will be table stakes. But for now, paying f…

Copyright law: A reason that copyright trolls are less common than patent trolls is that under copyright law, works created independently are not infringing. In court, you might ha…

Re: 5. building things: The only thing that keeps me sane since moving into a leadership role is that the what I love about building, namely watching things that didn't exist-- beg…

We use Elixir for our primary application, with a fair amount of Python code to manage our ML pipelines. But we also need real-time inference and it's really convenient/performant …

i agree that with statements aren't the easiest to understand, especially for a beginner, but I think the value in having the entirety of the happy path in the initial block is ver…

In the first paragraph, Fred mentions and links to Erlang in Anger. When I was coming up to speed on the BEAM this was such an amazing resource. The fact that it's free is bananas.…

Jose, if you come across this, I just want to express my gratitude to you for Elixir and for everything you've done for the Elixir community. The thoughtfulness and adeptness you b…

When I first started writing Elixir, I had no idea how much I would come to love immutable data as a language feature. "functional" can mean so many things, but for me immutable da…

There is active work being done currently to add set-theoretic types to the core language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJJH7a2J9O8

"Poor imitations" is probably harsh, but I agree with the idea that LiveView's architecture is substantially different from Hotwire or LiveWire. To have experienced Hotwire is not …

Same. At first, I thought PragmataPro was a little narrow, but now that I grown accustomed to it, everything else feels squatty or improperly kerned.

The counterpoint here is that there is already a cause of action for this type of incompetence and it's called malpractice, which is a pretty reasonable road to remedy. I don't kno…

Lan Lam is great! Be sure to check out her out content as well!

I mean if the OED allows for a metaphorical or hyperbolical meaning, I think you're fighting a literal uphill battle.

I'll caveat that this is mostly tailor toward SaaS companies, but it's all I really know: I think my proxy for work-life balance is days of PTO. I'm typically going to take ~20 a y…

I've been in a similar situation. My advice is to make sure you budget in recovery time. I've had burnout that took 2 weeks to recover from, and I've have burnout that took 2 month…

I'm sure most of us have worked for shit companies that have taken advantage of us. In those cases, I think your points can be helpful. But I'd also suggest that it's possible to f…

> After ingesting the entire tax code… According to a quick google search, the entirety of the US tax code is over 1M words. I wonder which number GPT will support a prompt that la…

Depends what you mean by "regular cloud service", but broadly Fly.io and Heroku are examples of Platform-As-A-Service, versus AWS, GCP, Azure, and Digital Ocean which are more Infr…

The people who don't see the value in generating language that has a purpose outside of narrow niche of communicating facts will be let down for some time. This feels very Wittgens…

for sure! My grinder is a Weber EG-1. It has really large (80mm) flat burrs. Very forgiving; like I don't have to be dialed in perfectly for the espresso to be very good. It's esse…

If you do get upgraditis at any point, I'd definitely consider swapping that priority. I think, I'd rather use high-end grinder with a mid-tier machine than the other way around.

> You can spend more but the coffee doesn’t get better I went down the espresso rabbit hole during covid, as did a good buddy of mine. We both upgraded from setups in the ~$1k rang…

I strongly disagree. And not just because copyright in perpetuity is unconstitutional. The value in a rich public domain is vastly under-appreciated. The default position is that I…
