Just keep it simple and avoid optimization like the plague. you can spend 1 month building a prototype or >3 months perfecting a single piece. Just know that it is all smoke and mirrors and don’t worry about that.

Yeah I am super disappointed…

There’s immortal and d4

BG3 is taking a genre to an entirely new place. so much so it is as impactful as creating a Genre

Also I can’t comment much about Zelda but it seems comprable.

What do you think of hydroponic? Like simple kratky + grow light, indoors you generally don’t have to worry about pests.

Why Georgia Home Boy?

Yeah. I don’t see why not.

My favorite Erlang programmer.

RIP Joe.

IME it is usually mental health related.

Reminds me of my Kurdish Grandma who owned a dagger. Most harmless, sweet woman alive and too afraid to touch it to. But she had one.

Only reason I can think of is performance.

I love how all of the example langs you used make me want to claw my eyes out (except for maybe Go which I don’t know much about).

How tested were your applications?

And if you forgo those things you can easily test them.

If drugs were legal, two of my friends would not be dead from fentanyl.

That’s already enough of a case to legalize. Make it safe.

Then address the root of the issue.

Can you share a source

Informative, as always something top notch from Andrea.

Functional Programming solves this problem.

I don’t know how to tell you this…but you’re delusional.

Really amazing! When I tried to re-import what I created it had some issues though... Namely the descriptions got moved around.. and some other stuff. But otherwise this is amazing! I might use my resume I made here.

Lol I definitely worked less in the Office. I know it looked like I worked more. I kinda miss that sometimes.

With remote work I have to actually have done something.

In the office I just had to show up and sometimes that’s all I want to do.

Don’t get me wrong I much prefer WFH. But I do wish I could just show up and have that be enough some days.

Remember at the start of covid.

There was no traffic. Even in LA!

How does one not yearn for that. I don't get it.

Also screw the office, coworkers are so distracting. I don't know how anyone gets anything done. Any amount of chit-chat throws me off and gives me a headache.

It isn't a silver bullet. But it does have a lot of distinct advantages. I can come into any Elixir project and very easily write tests. I can't do this in Node.

This is a huge disadvantage, and extremely dangerous, and in my opinion should render the entire language useless as a backend language for any serious project.

Elixir may not be a silver bullet. But Node.js is definitely a vampire...that isn't on your side.

The only reason I would want types is for specific error types that I could ideally match against instead of them being raised (in Node.js or Typescript).

In Elixir you have the option of calling functions that raise vs functions that return an error tuple so there's no contention there (the difference between function() (this does error tuple) and function!() (this raises).

Elixir also has this idea of a typespec and I have never felt I needed more, personally.

I have to transpile my scripts if I want to copy-paste which I often need to do.

And there's no repl if you're using transpiled code. I have tried using `ts-node` but that didn't work. In Elixir this stuff just works.

Maybe there's some tooling I am missing out on with Node.js. I am not familiar with Deno.

Using Node.js again instead of my usual Elixir and all I can think is "Y'all live like this?".

I feel for anyone using a Node.js backend. Y'all really don't know what you're missing.

Also dealing with bugs is infinitely harder. Try catch is infinitely more wordy and messy. And you lose out on so so many valuable CI steps the Elixir community has from sobelow to credo.

And then there's writing tests. In the Node.js community it is an actual joke. It is so hard to write tests and I have yet to see any framework create a nice sandboxed test environment that just works.

All of this stuff in Elixir is free.

And like someone else said, the best ORM is Ecto and it's hard to disagree with that.

Making a reliable and organized Node.js application is actually so difficult.

If my pet project was in Node.js I would not even be able to accomplish it. And that's a fact. Elixir makes me so much more productive and the code I write is so much less buggy and less complex.

I love that HN loves Elixir. If only it was more common in the workplace.

Thank you so much! :D

Super cool! I love all multiplayer browser game efforts.

Ahh I want to share my browser 3d (tiny) mmo project!

It doesn’t work on mobile:

I totally agree with the issue with browser build sizes. It is not nice with bigger engines! I was even hesitant to use React because I wanted to keep things minimal but it is too nice. Lol

Hey all! I hope you enjoy this. :)

Please any feedback and upvotes are supremely appreciated!

There’s probably 50 recipes at this point! I wish I added some logging haha because that is definitely a bug!
