Interesting points, but I don't think the conclusion follows. In your example, if the number one song is classical and made up 0.1% of listening time, would you conclude that classical music is not popular? It's like saying water

Maybe it's just best to let go instead of trying to mini-max your life's productivity, train yourself like Pavlov's dogs with XYZ productivity systems, and guilt-shame yourself over each day you miss out on part of an evergro

Some of the advice amounts to "just do it" or "insert inconvenient forcing function" like spending a week backpacking, which would be difficult if your sleep schedule is affecting your energy and mood. I've tried fo

Being able to use React is great and all but What if you want to use service workers? Web workers? Canvas? Websockets? Type defining or writing wrappers around every web specific API I need to use is a non-starter for me. Is there any ongoi

For me, Windows 10 is a step backwards for consumers. Microsoft was the one of the few software giants that cared about backward compatibility and not breaking users' workflows. Google is notorious for sunsetting products depended on b

With the caveat that while the password will be encrypted from the browser to Cloudflare, it will still be transmitted as plain text from Cloudflare to your own server if your server doesn't support HTTPS. So it's an improvement b

What IDE do you use for Elixir? Thanks.

While learning Elixir and Phoenix, I found Cowboy source code easier to read with no knowledge of Erlang other than what's inferred from learning Elixir than Phoenix's generated app scaffolding. In Erlang, I look at 'module_n

A similar tool I switched to from ansible for my personal project is https://pressly.github.io/sup . Ansible felt heavy and restrictive for my small project (lots of abstractions to learn and APIs on top of that for extensib

Are other file systems better off with recovery when interacting with virtual disks and host power failure?

Can I write Clojure that gets compiled to JavaScript with ClojureScript and run that on JVM's JavaScript engine Nashorn? Obviously turning code into JavaScript at least once is a mandatory requirement for fulfilling the "web"

Heck I found the same to be true of vagrant. Big promises, short on delivery. While mostly usable, it's definitely not as seamless across various guests, providers, and provisioners as their docs might have you think. Stray off the bea

The reasons I use VMWare Fusion are: 1. VirtualBox shared folders performance is terrible. 2. VMWare Fusion is the only shared folders implementation I've found (tried Parallels, VirtualBox, and VMWare Fusion) that can follow symbolic

I didn't mean to imply Facebook doesn't use ReactJS at all. The point was they use it on a need by need basis, not all in SPA all the time.

It seems like no one asks "Just because we can use Javascript for everything, should we?" Pros: AJAX for loading content makes requests smaller making your app more performant. Cons: The Javascript framework requires a 1xx KB down

I've tried unsuccessfully to learn the zen of Lisp. When you read a Lisp one liner, to me it seems like there are many implicit details you have to hold in your head. "Ok after this parenthesis now you have a list of maps keyed by

Why is having the shell being able to load offline when the XHR'd content won't be able to load a plus? It makes sense for productivity apps like Google Docs, where you're writing the content, but not for a majority of apps.

I tried to go there to ask some questions while picking up the language, and what I got was RTFM, where manual includes the language specification, Effective Go book, and A Tour of Go. Apparently you're unfit to ask a question unless y
