Old reddit still works, images and videos are usually forced to go to new reddit. You can sometimes get around it by clicking on the comments link. I started getting a blocking overlay telling me to download the app on new reddit and I just

Interesting question. From the Wikipedia article, > ISO 8601 allows Gregorian dates from the introduction of the calendar on 15 October 1582. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Dates

This works well for jobs that are long-ish. You need another process to sweep for orphaned jobs and requeue or fail them. Add a timestamp of when it got picked up to keep track

Exactly the point I was going to make. Shipping something requires knowing how to ship it, monitor it, and fix it. Writing code is the "easy" part and kind of always has been. No one triggers incidents from a PR that's been i

receive takes a timeout. A would crash/hit the timeout and deal with the problem.

What do you mean, "creates a Conn variable out of whole cloth"? Conn is just a pipeline of functions, the initial Conn struct is created at request time and passed through to each function in the pipeline.

Agreed, but people sell "vibe coding" without acknowledging you need more than vibes. LLMs can help answer the questions. However, they're not going to necessarily make the correct choices or implementation without significan

Of course that's what the industry is selling because they want to make money. Yes, it's easy to create a proof of concept but once you get out of greenfield into 50-100k tokens needed in the context (reading multiple 500 line fi

I do not agree it is something you can pick up in an hour. You have to learn what AI is good at, how different models code, how to prompt to get the results you want. If anything, prompting well is akin to learning a new programming languag

Elixir has a better developer experience, or at least it's more approachable. Better code splitting with modules, easier to use variables (no var, var1, var2), loops that look like loops but easy enough to fall back to recursion, and a

FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED is great, but it needs to be in a transaction. In the example code it won't "do" anything because it selects for update then immediately loses the lock. Claude says you can use a CTE to select and the r

The licenses for the Microsoft extensions explicity don't let you use them in non-MS editors. They seem to be cracking down now. To be fair, Copilot came before Cursor and the "agent mode" isn't a Cursor specific feature
