Personally I like the idea, it doesn’t need to be fully turn based - there would still be some skill involved in using your orders efficiently. Plus, there would be a new emergent gameplay mechanic to manage: not overflowing your order queue with extraneous commands.

I definitely want a smaller phone but I don't know that I'd call myself a power user given that I use my phone less now than I have in the past 5 years - but it has been a total replacement for things like photography.

I’ve replaced about five or six different WP installs with square space now. Never had a problem with it looking good, and surely don’t miss the increased vulnerability footprint that comes with hosting WP.

Cmon man, you’re ruining dreams here

When you hire a celebrity programmer like that, what exactly do they end up doing?

Do they actually have responsibilities in their role or is it more just to slap the branding on to them while they continue to do their own thing, whatever it may be? (in Matz case I would think he has more than enough full time work on Ruby itself)

What do you mean exactly? At the end of the day, rails is just a collection of ruby gems. If nix has first class support for ruby and Gemfiles in theory there shouldn't be a ton of problems.

I've not used Nix so I legitimately don't know (but I am quite interested in it)

Just curious - what would you say makes it better?

Why would anyone who has the talent to "make more happen for less" stay in education considering the abysmal pay?

This is so cool. Thanks for taking the time to describe your setup.

That's a great point. Do you have any specific recommendations of OSS alternatives that exemplify this?

They tend to be the things that you don't need until you absolutely need them right now (or yesterday).

..someone really ought to invent The Date Picker to Rule them All. Hm, maybe I'll give it a shot.

Not in my experience. Developers develop for chromium, I find many more rendering issues with Firefox's rendering engine than I do Chrome's.

No, they choose Chrome because it doesn't crash and pretty much works everywhere, which has everything to do with the underlying tech.

I wrote something similar after I moved our fleet to SSM because I didn't want yet another CLI app to memorize flags on. It's ruby based and runs in an interactive mode by default. It doesn't cover the whole set of `aws ssm` featureset but focuses just on things that are needed for debugging sort of tasks. Leaving it here incase it's useful to anyone else: https://github.com/ajbdev/ruby-ssm-ops

Capable, sure, but would she actually give a shit? I know none of my family does. I'd lose them after I uttered the first sentence of the technical explanation.

It depends on what kind of games you like, but in the past few years ones that I've enjoyed that have great mods are: Rimworld, Slay the Spire, and Factorio.

A good way to find games that have mods is to look at the "Steam workshop" page on a steam game listing. Here's the listing sorted by games that have a "Steam workshop" (which is kind of steam's interface for managing mods): https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=30

Still plenty of games out there to mod for, but you generally have to look for indie titles.

I just launched my most recent side project on Cloudflare pages. It's a pretty great UX. Just plug in your git repo, add your build steps, and it basically takes care of the rest: reversible production deployments - a long with unique endpoints for development branches. My project is purely static which makes it considerably easier to deploy, but I'm looking forward to trying out Cloudflare Workers the next time I have more steep requirements.

Personally I'm pretty steeped in the devops world at my day job so dealing with that as little as possible is pretty appealing to me for hobby projects.

Might be a no-go for you if Postgres is a big part of your project.

I don't know much about organizations like UXPA-MN.

I don't know if I have any good advice beyond the obvious things like Glassdoor. I worked a couple agency jobs early on in my career and while it was a good couple years for career experience, it was also my hardest working (as in hours) and least paying years I ever had. Once I switched to product development I found much higher quality jobs in both pay and work/life balance. That can be kind of tough to find in TC compared to other cities, though.

I don't know that there is anything special about Prime over other reputable bootcamps. It might be easier to get a job in the agency world (since I know Prime has a lot of tie-ins to the industry) - which is fairly infamous for paying below market wages for entry level positions. I've personally never noticed a difference in candidate quality based on whether they did Prime or any other bootcamp.

In this case "decentralization" means drastically less overhead in terms of simply taking your dirty clothes to the other room instead of dealing with the hassle of traveling somewhere with it and potentially paying money per load and/or dealing with other tenants that might be using all the machines.

People in the US don't use communal laundry because they want to, they use it because they (most likely) have to because they are in a large urban center or can't afford the appliance.

This is basically the reverse of the internet centralization/decentralization example, where centralized services on the internet are much easier to use than their decentralized counterparts.

I'd even add email for that matter. It's not the same as social media addiction but it plays on the same impulses. Turning off email notifications greatly improved my ability to compartmentalize work and personal time.

It does make you wonder what is going to get missed though, doesn't it? Each generation gets to work on a level of abstraction higher than the one before it.

I think about that often when I think about all the things I don't understand about hardware and EE.

so does my toaster, oven and microwave. so what? they get used a few times a day, but my production level equipment serves millions in an hour.

I think you're waxing nostalgically about a time that wasn't nearly as good as you think it was. There's orders of magnitudes of more useful information on the internet today than there was decades ago. Yes, it's more often on platforms and not usually personal websites anymore, but there are still plenty of creators doing it out of passion, even if sometimes - but definitely not always - they also have financial incentive as well.

  has made a big comeback in the era of jsx, which truncates white space around elements and interpolated expressions. I prefer it over an interpolated blank space {" "} since it seems a little easier to read.

I feel like we’re in a period of overcorrection where we’re not simply acknowledging flaws with accomplishments, we’re now letting the flaw become the lead narrative about a person when it may be one of the objectively smaller details about them in the scope of their accomplishments.

isn't that the asking part?

If the only type of scarcity is artificial scarcity does it hold its value the way something that has true scarcity does?
