I’m a new Ruby user. Been a dev for more than a decade and I picked it up for various things over the last year or two. These were not legacy projects, this was purely my curiosity…

Tangential question: is it common for frameworks to use the same name as a package from another framework? I had never heard of Django LiveView, but have used Phoenix’s Liveview an…

You know what they say about the Irish and spreadsheets…

Man that hits hard

I believe UFOs are mostly an op to intimidate foreign governments, i.e. US trying to say to China “hey we got some stuff you’ve never heard seen” so as to introduce uncertainty int…

That keyboard layout is a great analogy. Maybe I would have tried Helix in my early twenties, but I’m too old for that now (30s lol).

I have a huge disdain for artists who do not bleed and sweat like the rest of us doing jobs we don’t necessarily enjoy. Especially in this age of opulence. Welcome to life. Art sho…

Can you expand on this? Was your site pretty static or did it have a lot of interactivity? What were the best things you observed in Astro vs Laravel?

This is great! Hat tip to PHP. I first came across pipes in Elixir and have ever since missed it in every other language. Two observations: - pipes make you realize how much song a…

Bach and Part are the two composers who make music not just of man but of the glory of God Himself. IYKYK.

I did the same thing recently, excluding quotes from books. Every other note, How To, and To Do gone. It provided tremendous relief. The vast majority of the stuff may as well have…

Exactly. It is just like professional wrestling. It’s not a matter of thinking it’s real, magic is all about being so damn entertained that you don’t care whether it’s real.

Wouldnt it be nice is such an amazing piece of art. Grew up hearing it, never listening to the lyrics. Thought it was fun. As an adult finally paid attention to the lyrics one day …

I loved his shows when I was a kid. I was pretty into magic (e.g. going to the local shop and buying tricks) and this show was the most exciting thing I had ever seen. I get that i…

> has got really good For whatever reason that turn of phrase seems very amateur/lazy coming from the Economist.

Haven’t read Dickens, but Melville was a revelation for me. His short stories are great, but Moby Dick is a work of glory. It’s hard to explain why, but Moby Dick basically bifurca…

Great story. Have to ask…what’s up with that avatar for Tim Cook?

- plan is presented - (the many) stakeholders issue critiques - new plan is presented that includes all the worst elements of said stakeholders but achieves unity across teams - st…

Interesting! I use a budgeting app that has curious loading screens when you first log in. Sometimes it flies by, sometimes it takes a bit. It doesn’t appear to be related to data …

I'm sensing an uncomfortable amount of human labor behind this. Even worse it appears to be labor done for the sake of the thing itself. shudder Terrible and makes me feel bad abou…
