Grinnell 17' here. At first I didn't enjoy intro with Racket. But by the end I changed my mind and it ended up being one of my favorite courses. In retrospect that class easily had the most impact on me during my CS major... I still have quite a few functional programming habits. These days I like to code in elixir for side projects, which has quite a few similarities.

Anyways, cool to see another alum here! I hope the department keeps it around for a while longer :)

I assume 'work life balance'

Like any good yakshaving programmer, i built/use my own note taking / TODO app. Now I want to implement a feature where I can send a SMS to my app, and it will save the text/media to my database. Seems like a lot less friction than using the UI on my phones browser if I just need to save a quick note.

the act of writing it down probably makes them remember it.

I’m surprised they weren’t doing this already . This is standard for CC companies afaik.

Fair criticisms, but at the end of the day, Kagi offers a better search experience then all the alternatives for a fair price, so I pay for it. I don't really need to have 'faith' in it, though I do hope it sticks around.

Also, can't wait to get my tshirt! (closed beta user here)

I live about 180 miles north of silicon valley. The only utility I get here is high speed internet via a radio receiver in a redwood tree[0]. I just tested and I'm getting 20mb down/30 up, 30ms ping. Plenty for wifi calling, video calls, etc. I'm surprised your WISP has such poor performance?

Yeah, I believe they send DSL through the same lines that they don't want to support anymore.

*90% of all internet traffic goes through Erlang controlled nodes (Cisco)

Seems like a pretty good outcome to me?

Not useful for people who live in areas without cell service. These folks will have no way to make calls from home if ATT pulls out.

I think the main use case today is the dom traversal API. It makes operations like "add the 'error' class to all <input> elements in the form" simple:

    $('#some-form').find('input').addClass('error')

With that said, I wouldn't use it for a green field project. For sites that require lots of interactivity I would pick a modern front end framework that doesn't require this kind of manual dom traversal (probably phoenix/liveview).

from the README:

Currently it only supports Golang's pprof dump, I am working on supporting more formats

Anecdote: I had serious wrist/hand pain after using a mechanical keyboard for years. I changed to a low profile keyboard, and I don't have pain anymore. Who knows, maybe it was coincidence.

Lol, if you say so.

two reasons:

1. you prefer functional style languages, such as elixir 2. you want to avoid `pip install` ing dependencies

Has anyone made a "cat" like tool that uses treesitter under the hood?

I'm a happy paying user... I almost never have to !g. I tried DDG before kagi, and it just seemed like a worse version of google to me. I definitely prefer the kagi results.

No JS, and easy to self host. It’s a place to put your dotfiles. It comes with a CLI loosely based on git for editing, versioning, pushing, and pulling.

we don't want to: 12 is more divisible than 10

Up here in Northern California quite a few of us live off grid with just solar/batteries. What law says that a grid hookup is required? Is it at the county level?

How do they efficiently update everything on each tick?

A postgres database that is managed by a custom app that I wrote in Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView. Hosted for free on fly.io.

it stores:

- My TODO list (items -> entries -> checkboxes)

- My credit card transactions (scraped from alert emails with gmail api)

- A running log with miles/times/routes

i've implemented misc features to organize everything like content tagging, custom markdown rendering, etc.

No, the authors state it takes more inspiration from django: https://martenframework.com/docs/the-marten-project/acknowle...

I wonder how many folks chose Expresso.js + coffee script because it was the 'hot new thing'.

I spent about 2 years at my last job building a greenfield react app mostly by myself (around 10k sloc). I enjoyed it for the most part. But I did run into all the issues raised here, they are valid. I think the worst issue with React is the dependency arrays that get sprinkled around everywhere - in my opinion the framework is unusable without a 3rd party linting tool that points out when your dependency array is missing something. If you accidentally add the wrong value in there, hello infinite render loop!

One of the biggest level ups I had was extracting complex hooks into their own .js files instead of stuffing next to component code. This helps a lot with readability/reusability.

Overall I liked what I came up with, but it felt like a lot of inventing stuff on my own, which I'm not sure if the next developer who comes along will appreciate.

I haven't, I'll check them out, thanks!

I'm living/working remotely off grid with a solar panels, batteries, and a 2000w inverter. It's comfortable. I usually have a few lights, the wifi router, a monitor, laptop charger, and a fridge plugged in. This comes out between 100w and 300w, so I have room to spare for bigger items like power tools.

I do cheat by using a propane range for cooking and wood for heat. At some point I'd like to move to an electric induction stove, but I need to do some research how efficient they are.

I can't believe people are using YT without ublock origin. It is such an improvement.

I'm also surprised that YT hasn't worked around it. It's just a matter of time I guess...
