I follow a few landscape photographers on YouTube and really enjoy watching them go out into the field (whether it's an actual field or mountain or beach). They've got their art (at least their own style) so dialed in, that the te

Yeah, from my experience the more helpful conclusion is "TTS is not commoditized yet". At some point in the next 5 years, convincing TTS will be table stakes. But for now, paying for TTS gets you better results.

Copyright law: A reason that copyright trolls are less common than patent trolls is that under copyright law, works created independently are not infringing. In court, you might have to prove that you did actually create the thing independe

We use Elixir for our primary application, with a fair amount of Python code to manage our ML pipelines. But we also need real-time inference and it's really convenient/performant to be able to just do that in-app. So I, for one,

i agree that with statements aren't the easiest to understand, especially for a beginner, but I think the value in having the entirety of the happy path in the initial block is very helpful for understanding the flow of the feature, on

In the first paragraph, Fred mentions and links to Erlang in Anger. When I was coming up to speed on the BEAM this was such an amazing resource. The fact that it's free is bananas. In addition to the load management stuff, he also talk

Jose, if you come across this, I just want to express my gratitude to you for Elixir and for everything you've done for the Elixir community. The thoughtfulness and adeptness you bring to the language and the community is so very much

When I first started writing Elixir, I had no idea how much I would come to love immutable data as a language feature. "functional" can mean so many things, but for me immutable data as part of the runtime (i.e. not bolted on late

"Poor imitations" is probably harsh, but I agree with the idea that LiveView's architecture is substantially different from Hotwire or LiveWire. To have experienced Hotwire is not to have experienced LiveView, ironically enou

Same. At first, I thought PragmataPro was a little narrow, but now that I grown accustomed to it, everything else feels squatty or improperly kerned.

The counterpoint here is that there is already a cause of action for this type of incompetence and it's called malpractice, which is a pretty reasonable road to remedy. I don't know if you actually think these were "fraudulen

I mean if the OED allows for a metaphorical or hyperbolical meaning, I think you're fighting a literal uphill battle.

I've been in a similar situation. My advice is to make sure you budget in recovery time. I've had burnout that took 2 weeks to recover from, and I've have burnout that took 2 months to recover from. Just make sure you don&#x2

I'm sure most of us have worked for shit companies that have taken advantage of us. In those cases, I think your points can be helpful. But I'd also suggest that it's possible to find companies that align with your values, bo

Depends what you mean by "regular cloud service", but broadly Fly.io and Heroku are examples of Platform-As-A-Service, versus AWS, GCP, Azure, and Digital Ocean which are more Infrastructure-As-A-Service. https://www.re

for sure! My grinder is a Weber EG-1. It has really large (80mm) flat burrs. Very forgiving; like I don't have to be dialed in perfectly for the espresso to be very good. It's essentially a cafe quality grinder, but optimized for

If you do get upgraditis at any point, I'd definitely consider swapping that priority. I think, I'd rather use high-end grinder with a mid-tier machine than the other way around.

I strongly disagree. And not just because copyright in perpetuity is unconstitutional. The value in a rich public domain is vastly under-appreciated. The default position is that IP is not protectable by law, because the free exchange of id

Point 1 is very similar in high end coffee. Sometimes very expensive coffee in the US is substantially better than what you get in the grocery store, but often it's just much different. It might taste like blueberries or strawberry can
