Checkout Hologram. It aims at client based state (but it’s all Elixir as it transpiles the Hologram pieces to JS).

Hi Sam!! Weather your storm. It will pass. Trust that you will find your way out of this. Merry Xmas from Spain :D

I started coding in Elixir about a year ago, and my experience with the community has been great. I was coming from Python and JS, where evidently the community size is orders of magnitude larger, but in my experience that is more than compensated by how engaging the Elixir community is. I’ve had very helpful interactions on the Discord channel and through the ElixirForum… also, you tend to get very good/thoughtful answers. So to me community size has not been an issue.

Also, just out of curiosity, what do you mean by “niche”? As far as I’m aware the use case of Elixir is pretty general purpose (obviously with its strengths and weaknesses - like any other language).

Anyways, to each his own ;)

In Postgres you can chose whether to treat NULLs as distinct or not (meaning that when treating NULLs as NOT DISTINCT you can insert many for an otherwise unique row).

If I’m not mistaken this is the docs page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-unique.html

Yep yep yep

Also did you know that the origin of that joke is that Salvador Dalí had a pet ocelot named Babou which he apparently took on his travels!!

(Funny enough I just found that out this last weekend haha)

This.

In my case I enjoy reading The Economist and do not mind paying for it, but some years back I had to cancel my subscription (I was cutting back on expenses) and honestly I found that experience so much against the business values they preach that it has made me not subscribe again, even if it means not reading their publication.

(Every few years I go to check if they have made it easier to unsubscribe, but last time I checked they still had the same practices)

Edit: I can also imagine that I’m a minority and so it really pays off to keep doing this.

I think that your theory is not accounting for how ageing will change the way you interact/adopt technology. Looking at the "old" edge of the charts from a youngish perspective might miss some important drivers of how older people view the world...

You will be welcomed in the city. I'm an expat living in Barelona for the last 7 years and in my experience tourists have always been welcomed. The local exasperation is against rising rent prices, which can be linked to the high increment of unlicensed apartments being rented out for tourism... personally I've got nothing about the sharing economy, but in my experience most of the flats I've seen are being rented out "professionally" meaning they are not being shared. I understand this is a limited sample, but if it is representative of the larger set then the story that AirBnb is helping Barcelona households make an extra income would not stand, and it would rather be a small number of people making a killing out of unlicensed apartment renting. The easiest solution would be for AirBnB to release audited data and prove that it is in fact helping small households the most and not a small number of people. (Keep in mind that hotel capacity is still able to cope with current levels of tourism, except during the Mobile World Congress)
