Viewing profile — whichdan

The issue I have with stacked PRs isn't merging, but rather, when I change branch A, and I'm working on branch C, I then need to merge A into B and then B into C just to continue w…

I agree that the stability is quite nice. But there are plenty of areas where the language could use some improvement - for instance, the ergonomics around writing nested Single Pa…

There's a lot to love about Elm, and I've written quite a bit of production code with it starting around 0.18.0. But in 2026 I'm not sure why a company would newly choose a languag…

Honestly the feedback loop of "do math to roll more" would make this an excellent game for kids IMO

Yeah I agree. I grew up in a very blue-collar town, and anything I wanted to learn (outside of public schooling) either came from emaciated websites or whatever books I could find …

The nice thing with the Elixir example is that you can easily `tap()` to inspect how the data looks at any point in the pipeline. You can also easily insert steps into the pipeline…

I wonder if the thinner profile will make it more comfortable in smaller hands (both in terms of reach and center-of-gravity), but I'm skeptical.

Oh, don't forget, if you click "Allow (current location)" it will also reload the page.

Elm works a lot like this and it's quite nice.

Totally agree; I started replaying 13 somewhat recently, and just felt worn down after playing for a few hours. The nonstop battles with no real break between them just isn't fun, …

I'm really bummed there isn't a Mini - I'd be happy with getting one every third generation, even. For the size of my hands, the center-of-gravity is too high in the 6.1" phones, s…

I got a 500 on first load, and intermittent issues on subsequent loads, so it's not just you!

Without compile-time type checking, every single line of code needs to be evaluated with a unit test to ensure there won't be any runtime syntax errors.

I think Rails is a victim of its own success: many of the hot new Rails codebases from that time are now 10 year old monoliths. And those monoliths need incredible amounts of tests…

Basically we'd need laws enforcing a minimum wage for waitstaff, otherwise restaurants that allow tipping will always have an advantage over more expensive ones that don't. And no,…

Ugh, yeah. I used to adore Spotify's "radio" algorithm, but depending on the genre - namely indie rock - I constantly hear repeats now.

Okay, so people who had historically high-paying jobs, who were at a high-paying company with above-average severance, didn't have anxiety around layoffs. You can't say anxiety aro…

Tiny suggestion - instead of .map(g => { return { key: g.key, rows: g.rows.map(r => r[1]) }}) you can write .map(g => ({ key: g.key, rows: g.rows.map(r => r[1]) }))

https://htmx.org/docs/#parameters Simple doesn't mean "I should be able to intuitively understand this with under a minute of reading"...

My gut reaction was "wow that sounds boring" but then I reread it and realized I would have absolutely been excited about this in high school.

I know they don't have plans to work with AMD but I'd consider switching to AMD for my next card if EVGA was manufacturing it. They fixed an old card of mine way out of warranty so…
