   It’s probably best to compare download sizes on a logarithmic scale. 18mb vs 180mb is probably the difference between an instant download and ~30 seconds. 1.8gb is gonna make someone stop and think about what they’re doing. But 18mb vs 9mb

   Thanks for pointing this out. It does seem weird to complain about the file size of a debug build not a release build.

   Private posts/feeds/groups is one of the biggest things missing from ATProto at this point. Once they solve that it will really take off beyond just a better Twitter.

   For what it's worth my criticism was aimed at the lack of substance in the parent reply rather than the skepticism around the product.

   Thank you for your insightful comment. You’ve clearly thought about this more than the business who decided to make the camera, and your logic is impeccable.

   So you're saying the legal system should hinge on the judgement of what random people believe is "crazy" rather than judges, juries, laws, etc. One opinion should outweigh everyone and everything else?

   Do you find it soulless when painters don’t mix their own paints or weave and stretch their own canvases? Is it soulless when a sculptor doesn’t source their own clay and marble directly from the earth? Or when a musician uses an instrument

   Fair. I checked the site on my laptop and the logo at the top left easily got me to the homepage that described the editor.

    It's a blog post directly on their website. Is it really unreasonable to need to click to the home page for more context?

    Fly.io would probably work for your use case. Doesn't have the restart limit of Heroku and still has a solid enough free tier to run your app! I'd be happy to help if you need anything! Whether hosting or just backend related ques

    Do you think that’s inherent to the language, or a result of common patterns? How do other languages, like Python, scale better to more devs, besides more devs available? All that comes to mind immediately is modules in Elixir being globall

    Thanks for posting this, I’ve been having similar thoughts lately. Elixir is extremely overhyped, not because it’s not great but because most of the discourse is about how much better it is than other languages. With Python, Rust, Go, and J

    Wouldn't this just mean if you're on Ubuntu 18.04 you'd need to manually update glibc to >= 2.28? 18.04 is an LTS release which according to Ubuntu's website ended standard support in April 2023 and still has "Ex

    It looks like some of these are cases of duplicate threads being migrated, which isn't completely obvious when looking at this Github page. For example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39219568 was just a dupe. May

    In my experience it comes down to the type of book. Novels and narratives with just a few supporting tables, illustrations, or diagrams? EPUB is probably preferable. But anything remotely technical with code snippets, diagrams, screenshots,

    Editorializing this with an implied stutter really detracts from the points you're trying to make.

    Didn't the 14 inch M1 Macbook Pros start at $2000 with 16GB of RAM? So you now have the option of a $400 cheaper 8GB version or a $200 cheaper 16GB version.

    This comment thread kinda proves the point though. Instead of discussing the merits of 8GB vs 16GB commenters are incredulous that Apple would even offer an 8GB laptop in 2023.

    I know multiple people coming up on their 3rd year with an 8gb base-model Macbook Air with no complaints or thoughts of upgrading.

    by pythonaut_16 3y ago

    Thank you for proving the parent's point. The base model is insufficient for your use case. You know Apple's base models have a history of being insufficient for your use-case and that upgrades are pricier than you'd like. Yo

    Worktrees are super useful to avoid interrupting your work in progress when you need to load another branch to help someone debug something.

    In my experience, the documentation is great for most of the major libraries and the common path. Once you get away from those things get sparse. Several really common libraries have glaring omissions (or entirely missing) module docs, and

    Have you seen Elixir list comprehensions? iex> for n <- 1..4, do: n*n [1, 4, 9, 16] Or for your example: iex> l = 1..3 # equivalent to [1,2,3] iex> Enum.reduce(l, fn item, acc -> acc + item end) # or iex&gt

    Also a risk of polyglot environments. You can easily end up with teams that lack deep knowledge of the languages and libraries you're using.

    Thanks for sharing! We could certainly debate the objective merits of Elixir vs other languages (which seems to be the primary discourse in this thread and elsewhere) but hearing subjective developer experiences is also critical. It doesn&#

    Could you expand on what you mean by this? Module design doesn't seem any harder than class design in JS or Python. Do you mean the language is generally harder for non-developers? Or that Elixir is harder for JS/Python developers
