One thing confuses me... Why invest so much into automony on streets/roads when most (all?) US trains/trams/busses still have operators? Elon said himself that busses have 5x the operating cost of robo-taxis (1$ vs 20¢…
IIRC the re-implementation was necessary for type-safety.
I would really love to see a "maps" app that focuses specifically on local discovery for businesses and other points of interest. Or, one that at least makes a real attempt to deliniate between getting you to a known…
Location: Chicago, IL Remote: Full/Hybrid Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Go, JS/React, AWS, Terraform (all used professionally) w/ hobby experience in Elixir & other BEAM languages Résumé/CV:…
Seems like this exists in a similar problem domain as pkl? https://pkl-lang.org/index.html
> I cannot fathom why it is still done this way. Like many things in America, the government is lobbied to create an unnecessary problem by private companies who aim to profit off of solving that problem.
The nice thing is there are plenty of socially-acceptable, but still every bit as objectively valid reasons to advocate for policies aimed as reducing the use of cars in cities.
I've been feeling this pretty accutely of late. When stresses of work/life pile up, the inability to free myself from the unceasing car noise to find some tranquility can feel downright overwhelming at times.
I also wonder whether it's an attempt to normalize certain aspects of the form factor to ease people into what Apple sees as the future of this technology. Namely, I wonder if the tethered battery and lack of dedicated…
I wonder how much of that is due to the specific nature of this type of product, and how it compares to those past launches. With iPhone & iPad, you had products that people could very easily imagine using. The iPhone…
My understanding is "yes, but only type errors that violate guards and pattern matching". Jose's elixirconf keynote this year did a great job providing details on how how this new type system works:…
Counterpoint: The article is titled "HTML First" not "HTML Only" Admittedly I had the same reaction you did as I was reading the article. All I could think was how poorly these approaches would scale when the need arose…
Writing off a shift towards walkability as a "near-impossible social solution" I think is misrepresenting the nature of the problem. Shifting car-centric suburbs and exurbs to a walking-friendly lifestyle is a massive…
As an aside, Elixir is doing some interesting, novel stuff exploring its own type system. José Valim's keynote at ElixirConf last week went into detail on the topic, so I'd keep an eye out for it on YouTube in the…
The fact this thing has an M2 makes me surprised Apple didn't try to sell it as a Mac. I feel like at the price point, this device makes much more sense as the kind of thing that could replace a laptop/desktop than as a…
I've been using Arc on my personal machine for a couple months now, and my favorite feature is one that surprised me: Tab persistence is opt-in Meaning that, unless you explicitly pin a tab, or stick it in a folder you…
Curious how people use search these days. For me, I'm less and less using a single search engine for all my needs, rather using a plethora of engines for different tasks. I use DDG as my default engine to ensure I get…
With all the talk of PostgreSQL, I'm curious if anyone has tried the offerings Fly.io has been pushing with SQLite (Litestream & LiteFS) in any serious capacity, and can comment on the experience. Wondering whether they…
My own self-discipline, and being satisfied with my current lot in life. Looking at the past few years, my project list has only grown, as I repeat the cycle of getting excited about a new idea, starting to work on it,…
Relying on growth generally means taking on debt and risking large sums of capital on projects with the hope that it brings a return. Some projects will work out, and some won't. When you're a company this is largely…
Not to mention Kovid is also the developer of the excellent kitty terminal.
You are not alone. If there were a GUI editor that had 1st-class Vim keybindings, native LSP support, fuzzy finding, and convenient file management tools a la Ranger, and optionally a built-in terminal, I'd switch in a…
I want a 15" version of this hardware so badly. It would be my perfect personal webdev machine, assuming no significant M2 thermal issues. My workflows are all lightly threaded and CPU bound, so I don't benefit much…
As someone pretty plugged-in to the Elixir community, I can fully endorse it. There are a lot of really exciting new developments happening on the regular, but it also has really solid foundation, being built on the…
I think it's also a result of car ownership. It wasn't until the 1980s that multi-car households started being really ubiquitous. I imagine people slowly started driving their kids to school because they could, which…
