I love apps like this. I currently use Numi daily for running financial-related tracking and scenarios. It has a few annoying UI quirks, so I'm super open for alternatives (especially with cloud syncing). I played around with porting m

I don't think equating 1 route = 1 component makes much sense. A route could be as simple as `/user/123` which shows an avatar and a name, or it could be `/billing` which has many sub-routes and complex features behind i

I recently evaluated using Typescript's compiler or Babel + TS plugin, and decided to use Babel. The main reason was keeping access to the Babel plugin ecosystem without needing to do tsc -> babel -> output, which would be a drag

Air Crash Investigation is great. It's like a true-crime show for engineering. What you gather after watching dozens of episodes is that almost all accidents happened many years ago before modern planes and regulations and/or due

I use Quiver[0] ($10) to store and organize work and personal notes. Their "cells" of content can be written in plaintext, code, markdown, or LaTeX. You can organize with folders, tags, favorites, etc. The different viewing modes

Yes, I would say they're an expected browser feature these days, with over 94% global browser availability [0] (basically anything >= IE10). The cool thing about Phoenix specifically is that they provide a JS client to integrate wit

I will wholeheartedly echo the sibling's suggestion for beets ( http://beets.io/ ). No music makes it into my collection unless it's been imported via beets. It has a powerful import/query/alter API, suffi

Did you evaluate or consider react-virtualized [0]? I've used it for one internal app that loaded a couple thousand rows and it worked well. I don't think it meets all your requirements out of the box though, but it seems like the

I've had my last.fm account for over a decade and a what.cd account for most of its existence. You're correct that they provided similar resources for music junkies. You could probably recreate most of last.fm's (non-scrobble

Had a quick chat this morning with the people that worked on it. The package rebar3_elixir_compile[0] makes this pretty easy. However, our target Elixir lib is not a public hex package, which requires using git submodules. Not a seamless se

We use both Erlang and Elixir where I work. We successfully use Erlang libs in our Elixir projects pretty easily. We recently started trying to do the reverse and use an Elixir app inside an existing Erlang app. It has been significantly mo

If what you're trying to accomplish is feasible and maintainable with "ordinary js ... and a bit of jquery" then using a full React+Flux stack like the OP outlined is complete overkill. If someone has experience with those li

Where do you listen to the interviews? I was recently obsessed with finding the interview he did with Larry David, but could not find it anywhere. Someone posted it on YouTube when it originally aired, but it has since been taken down. I fo

I just want to echo the love for Subsonic (and the iOS iSub app). I happily used Google Music until I hit the (at the time) 20k track limit. Now that I've been running and using Subsonic for a couple years, I consider it a complete upg

What sort of problems did you run into when installing linux? I have an i5 model that runs OS X. I would think installing Ubuntu via bootable USB would more or less like installing Windows.

I've been a fan of metal for so long that I get such a kick out of seeing how non-fans react to it [0]. As far as metal sub-genres go, "melodic death metal" is about as standard as it gets. I could see why it seems ridiculous

Ha, no. I think I was just trying to make it non-specific because it could happen along any tz border. I added the article in case someone wanted specific locations.

Yea, you just need to be VPN'd to log in. Once it has an auth cookie set, it stops doing any geo-IP-enforcement. Even if they enforced it during streaming I would still try it. The quality options range from like 800kbps to 4500kbps. I

I would agree that libphonenumber is the go-to for what you want to do. The JS build process for it is... involved, but you can find pre-built versions of it for Node, UMD, etc.
