Another option not mentioned here is event sourcing (or just using events in general to track changes)

May I ask what issues you have with QNAP or Synology?

I use Keychain Access app, but admittedly the UX there is terrible. I wish it was nicer, and also integrated with browsers other than Safari.

My first (childhood) computer was a 486 (DX I think?). Pentiums were already out, even PIIs maybe. The LEDs on the front (remember those?) said "100", but I was always suspicious of these, because my computer seemed a _lot_ slower

You can read about it on his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz

He personally knows Elon and they've had dealings in the past. I bet if he recommends someone and that person is needed, that person will be hired.

I mean, I know he's a bit of an odd character and a showman, but do you actually think he's that "out of his depth" that he's desperately trying to crib other people's code? He's accomplished some pretty i

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the nice cassette logo :)

Makes sense, but I can't help but feel it's a solution at the wrong abstraction level. It's a shame the DB can't figure this out for you.

I've been using it in prod for almost 10 years now, almost without issues. Personally I'm still a very happy customer. FWIW, it's a low-traffic app, so cost isn't an issue. I'm happy to pay Heroku a bit more for the

That's true, but I wouldn't say that fits the definition of 1:N messaging. Just as the name says, it's a queue.

Yes, but only one of them will receive the message.

With those countries’ and populations’ permission… I wonder why that is?

I do the same thing, especially the "not reading later" part. but it's a kind of hack that works for me. By posting this, you just prompted me to do my routine of "evaluate, add, close". Problem is some of the short

You got downvoted, but I agree. "Gen" is very typically used as a shorthand for "generate", whereas I've _only_ seen it used as a shorthand for "generic" in the Erlang/Elixir world.

I used this when buying an apartment. Judging the lighting at different times of the day.

But on the other hand if a majority of us feel this way and the free market doesn’t seem to be doing the job, then that is the job of government and regulation - that is our voice.

We were taught about him in Canadian elementary school (it feels like every school year). I guess I assumed he was known just in Canada for this reason, but didn't realize he even had reach outside of Canada.

Facebook has a terrible and slow UI, so IMO not the best counterexample.

I didn't take it like that at all and I feel you are over-reacting. To me it seems that the author (in his own tongue-in-cheek way) is awed by these clever solutions that natural selection has found.

Jason Fried in the demo says that they do precisely this – they act as a proxy.

Does anyone have any experience using this to access recruiting assignments? Or any other such tools you could recommend for an org that is already in the Github ecosystem?

That's true. I maintain a couple of obj-C iOS apps (one of those ~10 years old) and apart from framework upgrades (iOS 6-7 was a big one) and dealing with a few deprecations, it's been surprisingly friction-free. macOS is probably

Cool story. In a way I'm surprised one would try to adapt the old code after so much time has passed, rather than just starting fresh. It can definitely be interesting, just more... frustrating.

Good and useful idea, so kudos. Still, I can't help but feel that this is at the wrong level of the stack. Ideally, my email client should be doing this, and I shouldn't need to have messages go through a middleman. Just a persona

Then that is a failure of management – that they didn't make the proper investments when the time came. It doesn't necessarily mean that taking on that debt early on didn't make sense.
