PlanetScale (famously?) deprecated their free "Hobby" tier (plus fired their sales & marketing teams) back in 2024 to achieve profitability

This is a pretty shallow take.

Not everyone's brain works the same way. For people with ADHD (and other neurodivergent conditions), executive dysfunction can make it really hard to remember to reach out -- even to people they care about deeply. It's not about not valuing the friendship; it's about how memory and motivation work differently.

Instead of disparaging people for using tools that help them maintain relationships, maybe try having a little empathy -- or at the very least, an open mind. Not everyone connects the way you do, and that doesn't make their friendships any less real.

Probably because `Float()` is stricter and will raise an error if the string isn't a valid number, whereas `#to_f` will silently return 0.0 or do a best-effort conversion (e.g. "1.2abc".to_f => 1.2)

They're not going all-in with Android or abandoning Apple, they're phasing out both CarPlay AND Android Auto in favor of something entirely new (that just so happens to be built by Google).

Zod has plugins that let you generate OpenAPI specs (and TS types, and JSON Schema, etc.) from your Zod schemas, so if that's the only reason you think Ajv is better, then it might be time to take another look at Zod? It really is great, especially if you buy into the "parse, don't validate" principle that it's built around.

This is no longer true as of ~2013.

Homer Logistics | VP Operations Research, Software Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE

Help us revolutionize last-mile delivery in urban environments! We're building a distributed delivery platform to support the hundreds of thousands of deliveries that happen daily in NYC (and other cities). Our software is running in stores around the city and is used to coordinate thousands of deliveries across our fleet of couriers every day.

What we're looking for:

* VP of Operations Research - Scale up and manage a team of talented operations research experts while you lead the research, development and maintenance of the models and algorithms that we use every day for demand forecasting, scheduling, route optimization, etc. More info here: https://angel.co/homer-logistics/jobs/47887

* Software Engineer - Use your experience across the stack to build new features, deploy new infrastructure and solve challenging integration problems. We use a lot of Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL and Angular, and are starting to use more Go, TypeScript and React.

Help us revolutionize how restaurants deliver food! We're building a centralized delivery platform to support the 200,000 food deliveries made each day in NYC. Our software is running in restaurants around the city and is used to coordinate thousands of deliveries across our fleet of couriers every day.

We're looking to bring on a full-stack engineer to help us build out our platform. We currently use Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Node.js and Angular, but we're open to all languages and skills--bonus points for interest in Elixir and Go! We're also in the process of migrating our infrastructure to Kubernetes, so experience with AWS and Docker is a plus.

The engineering team is still very small (there's only 4 of us), so you'll have a lot of ownership on the projects you work on and have a big impact on our development culture!

Our interview process involves a phone interview, a take-home coding challenged focused on real software development and an onsite interview where you meet the team and get feedback on your code.

The variable here is overhead bin space, not seats. People want to board first, regardless of their seating assignment, so that they're assured a space for their probably oversized carry-on luggage.

Some states tax both goods and services (ex. Hawaii, New Mexico, South Dakota).

There's no dedicated app in Google Play, but you can enable Amazon Instant Video streaming inside the Amazon app. It's still an unnecessary hurdle, but the silo is slowly being demolished.

Actually, they mean Sass. It's not an acronym, it's a proper noun.

RAML promises most of this: http://raml.org/ Specifically, check out the projects section, which includes: an API designer, an API console and a documentation generator.

UI Bootstrap does not depend on AngularUI. It's just a set of Bootstrap directives built by the AngularUI team.

The main difference between the two seems to be how they handle templates. UI Bootstrap has a set of default templates that can be overwritten, whereas AngularStrap doesn't. AngularStrap also includes date/time picker directives.

I can't tell if you are joking, but no, Dublin is not a part of England. It hasn't been for over 90 years.

Facebook does not give implicit permission to access "your friends' email addresses." In fact, they don't grant that permission under any circumstance.

This is a known issue with Chrome. See: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94369

The best way to circumvent the issue is to prevent the browser from caching the request (ex. cache busting via random querystring parameters), or to use different URLs for the HTML and JSON response (ex. appending '.json' to the end of the path).

What makes you say Sublime Text 2 is far from being ready? It's relatively stable for a beta product, has an impressive list of features and is highly extensible; not to mention it's being actively developed, unlike some other editors. Just curious how you reached the conclusion that is isn't "ready".

DNSimple is a side project? I would never have guessed; it's such an awesome service. Keep up the good work!
