Sorry if this doesn't apply to you but how do you deal with Docker development? I've heard some horror stories regarding Docker for mac and I don't think I'll be able to live without my Docker containers.


I do that on an AWS instance. I have learned over the years to keep my desktop and my tools well apart as there have been some fatalities which have knocked me out for a day at a time before.

I mostly write Go though which is fine on M1 macs.


If you are doing remote work why does the client matter? You can use an iPhone terminal app and achieve the same functionality. BTW the new windows terminal app is ages better compared to anything I had seen in the windows world.


Comfort/efficiency..


Paypal also uses redirect to their own domain ensuring you don't give your CC to just anyone. This is the biggest selling point to me.

Services asking for a credit card number directly on the site may or may not be using Sprite, or a similar legitimate service, and may or may not contain malicious code that captures your input regardless. I really have no way of knowing.


I have to use Sprite next time when i make my new sass.


Would you say Youtube works better now as it is fully SPA?


There's an army working on YouTube, and it has the traffic levels to justify the investment. They can actually put in the required effort to ensure the application functions seamlessly and meets accessability standards.


It does not. The SPA is so sluggish I’ve learned to just force a page refresh after clicking on anything because a full page load is actually faster than their bullshit SPA.


Shouldn't employers provide Japanese style sleeping capsules for employees at that point? Or can they keep up wages with the increasing cost of living?


There was something like that in North of France last century. The coal mining companies constructed a lot of houses for their employees (wikipedia page, in french https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coron_(urbanisme)).

It's definitely not bad. It provided poor miners with a decent place to live. Today a lot of them are still here, renovated and retired miners still live in them, most of them for free (my grandparents for example).


I may be wrong, but I believe in the US, the coal mining companies constructed these as well. This led to the workers essentially becoming indentured servants. [citation needed]

Yep. It also led to one of the bloodiest government orchestrated massacres in US history when striking miners were cleared from their homes in Ludlow, Colorado by the national guard [0]

That's how you end up with the factory-campus style places like the iPhone factories in China where the workers basically never leave.

On a more serious note, though, some employers do want to build housing near their headquarters (such as Google, for example), but are blocked by city councils. From what I read here, it sounds like you can't put up new housing anywhere near SF.


The Mountain View City council approved Google's proposal to build company housing near their HQ.

... on the Bay side of 101. Only two roads get you over 101, and they are jammed during commute hours.


Ive always suggested that the tech companies need to just start setting up satellite campuses in the central valley. Plenty of cheap housing out there.


If only there were types in Elixir to get rid of those damn nulls...

Supposedly someone is making a Typescript-like precompiler for Elixir (with ML syntax of course). We are all hoping it succeeds!


Eh, as far as I know I'm the only one doing that, and even then only as an experiment/playground, and I don't have the time to work on it lately (have to pay the bills after all).

It's not compiling to elixir, but the `alpaca` language compiles to the BEAM (via erlang core I think) so it gets you close, although they are not black boxing messages sadly.

If you know of someone else doing typing experiments on top of elixir, please link me (my playground code is on my github repo somewhere)!!!


Found it https://github.com/wende/elchemy

The idea seems just like Typescript, a very interesting project!


Oh yes! Elchemy! How'd I forget about that one (I keep pushing it around!)! ^.^;

It is based on Elm so it has a severely limited type system but it is the most complete on Elixir so far. :-)


This is probably my only gripe with it. I really like static types, since the tools can be so much better in that case. VSCode + ElixirLS is ok, but far from Elm, Typescript or C# in that regard. I've been trying out Dialyzer and Credo, but it all seems so clunky to use.


If you haven't seen the new Dialyzer messages in Dialyxir, I just finished a big effort to improve those messages dramatically for Elixir consumption. Release is in RC currently.


Thanks a ton for your work!
