It’s the right idea but it also puts the burden of enforcement on teachers that are already over extended, especially in schools where behavioral challenges are more prevalent. Great in a scenario where students are compliant, and a nightma

I’ve been using caddy, very easy to set up reverse proxies, and it generates a local root CA you can install on your machines at home so you get SSL for free. Nothing you couldn’t also rig with nginx, I just enjoyed the simplicity I’ve got

They’re definitely not totally different, it’s still programming. I’m competent in both and have occupied both roles in my career, but more importantly I’ve worked with people much better than me in both areas :) They were more similar th

This made me grin and I love that it did. Sometimes our profession can be a little short on whimsy and I think projects like this are actually really important! I’m looking forward to using this :)

Most of them are OSS so you could make a real impact if you spearheaded this! Some buy-in on some sort of standardized install process from the top projects could go a long way if you decide to pursue. I’ve had enough success with using doc

I do something similar and I use Hammerspoon (with kitty in my case). It’s a hell of a tool!

Advent of Code is fun, I like having fun! I have no shortage of challenges and things to be proud of, but when I’m old I don’t want to look back and realize I didn’t take the time to find little moments of joy along the way. Everyone’s diff

There are themes now and a UI to install them, I also didn’t like the washed out colors.

Same, best digital product I’ve spent money on in a long time. It’s an improvement over Google, and well worth the price.

I’ve been using Kagi full time and I like it a lot . It’s been worth the price. I expected to like lenses and favoring/blocking specific domains. What I didn’t expect was how much their “Quick Answer” would change how I search. I’ve b

Agreed, it’s been so easy to onboard people onto Elixir we’ve just looked for raw talent knowing they’d be up on Elixir quickly. As long as you have one experienced elixir engineer to guide the people learning I think it’s easy to move fast

Great question, check out Erlang’s “Observer”, it’s incredibly powerful, one of my favorite parts of the BEAM :)

Graduated in ‘09, things were still chaotic post-crash, but I did find work in the end. I joined a small local company, they had a codebase dating back to the 90s and they’d succeeded in becoming the dominant solution in a niche space. It w

This site is about finding specific exercises for specific muscles though, and I think it works really well for that, I’ve used it off and on for years. There are plenty of reasons an individual may be looking for exercises to hit a speci

I’ve also found myself drifting away from Buddhism but I’ve been really excited to discover Taoism and the Taoist roots of Zen, which I think are often overlooked. As I’ve explored Taoism more I’ve found it contains many of the things I fou

That’s cool, what kinds of things helped you learn this? I bet those things would be really valuable to a lot of people if you felt like sharing.

Do you have a sense of what specific anxiety you feel? Maybe not (and that’s ok) but to me that’s the more interesting question. I could imagine fears about job security, maybe some sense of falling behind? A simple fear missing of missing

As far as I’m aware the verdict is still out on the long term effects so I’m not sure “temporary” is accurate. The fact that it seemed to be impacting women’s menstrual cycles in my city makes me concerned about long term issues related to

In case it helps anyone who finds their way back here — I tried ngrok and telebit and both couldn't pass the smoke test. I opened up a port on my router so things could go directly and sure enough everything went through. Not sure what
