dlx··on Rails World 2026 Closing Keynote – Aaron Patterson [video]
After the opening keynote, this is a breath of fresh air. Kind of odd (but nice/well deserved!) to see him riff on DHH's keynote.

dlx··on My friends all hate AI; I just joined an AI startup
I'm actually thinking that may be a good thing. Maybe people will get off these feeds and...interact with people IRL? ;)
dlx··on The Strongest El Niño Ever
This sounds neat...I'd love to do it as well. Any past predictions vs current conditions tools or datasets that you're using?
dlx··on Where Americans Thrive in Europe
This article is a bit refreshing - focusing on the things that actually matter logistically when choosing a place to live rather than buying into various hype trends....

dlx··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro, 17x cheaper
fair enough...any drawbacks that you've found?

As someone who does use other models with CC, I am curious about opencode, what extra features does it have that you find essential?

dlx··on Why we migrated from Python to Node.js
As someone who who's a polygot programmer, I've always agreed with this in theory; however, the biggest challenge I've found in giving Elixir a shot is that, well the job market doesn't seem to favor ANY elixir jobs out there...especially for someone who's only made 'toy' apps in Phoenix. And for prototyping apps, I'm just faster in Ruby/Rails to make it worth it PLUS if you want to debug ML/LLM scripts you have to know Python anyways.

Any recommendations for someone looking to break into the Elixir space in a serious (job-related/production app) way?

dlx··on Ruby 3.5 Feature: Namespace on read
that's great advice, but finding Elixir/Phoenix jobs seems to be few and far between (and seem to be for less pay). Where are you able to find your Elixir / Phoenix jobs?
dlx··on VSCode's SSH agent is bananas
As mentioned in other threads, I'd love it if I could use Sublime Text remotely, but am stuck using VSCode simply because of what this setup allows in terms of remote coding. Perhaps a standard too that any editor could use would be amazing -- is there anything else out there that enables this much functionality out there?

dlx··on Nvidia announces $3k personal AI supercomputer called Digits
Am I missing something? $3K for an AI workstation isn't exactly expensive; being able to run a 405B model for 6K seems pretty amazing to me....

dlx··on Django and Postgres for the Busy Rails Developer
Any recommended ones? Like the parent, I have to reach for Python for AI / ML work and would love to use Rails as the web frontend instead of Django.

dlx··on Gavin Newsom vetoes SB 1047
you've got the wrong Weiner dude ;)
dlx··on 1913: When Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and Stalin all lived in the same place
Interesting take.

dlx··on Coqui.ai TTS: A Deep Learning Toolkit for Text-to-Speech
The license forbids commercial use unless you buy a license. The problem is, no one seems to be selling one ;)
dlx··on Coqui.ai TTS: A Deep Learning Toolkit for Text-to-Speech
Any progress on the license situation? I'd love to work more on it, but worried about it being a bit of a dead end due to uncertainty about the future of the license and not being able to use it in any commercial projects.
dlx··on Writing books remains a tough way to make a living
Once again, thanks for such a thoughtful response. You’ve been a great resource and inspiration!
dlx··on Writing books remains a tough way to make a living
OK I’ll bite. What is the utter nonsense in this thread?
dlx··on Writing books remains a tough way to make a living
This is great advice! As someone who also is starting out writing fiction and does care about making money in the long run (let's say I have about a year of runway) would you add anything else to the above advice?
dlx··on Launch HN: Café (YC S21) – Find the best days to go to the office
+1 on this. I would definitely use something like this if it was still around. I'd also love to know why you discontinued it as I was toying with this same idea a few months ago...
