I started off with a regular desk and instead of throwing out my old desk, I just bought a standing desk converter and I really like it. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day and it has helped significantly with my back pain. Here's the standing desk converter that I bought[0]. In hindsight I wish I started off with a high quality adjustable desk but I don't regret my path at all.
The fairphone now looks like the next phone I'll purchase when I need to. I'm still surviving off a pixel 2. The battery is crap but I always keep a portable on me to account for that.
I think making schema changes via migrations would be explicit and should lead to it being predictable. Maybe the best of both worlds is the ORM spitting out what it thinks the migration file should be based on the database schema and the new model changes?
The migration process then runs the actions in the migration file. If it fails in new environments this is telling that something is different in that environment and needs to be investigated.
Yes I thought ActiveRecord's ORM addressed a lot of the pain the OP mentioned with traditional ORM's.
ActiveRecord is also the first and only ORM I've used extensively and I've been a fan of it. Prior to that, I used to stick to raw sql, most apps were smaller but even then it felt like a drain to write repetitive sql to find, insert and update records.
Agreed. I have found myself sometimes asking Chat-GPT for guidance related to obscure error messages and occasionally its more useful than google or stack overflow.
Just wanted to thank you for writing this. I recently had a child and I thought with discipline I would be able to maintain my pre-parent lifestyle but reality is quite distant from the ideal goal. I am making small improvements each week so I'm grateful for that.
I'm a big fan of RSS but RSS limits you to what you already have subscribed to. I think mining user data has become the unfortunate norm but there trying to provide more relevant content here so that's understandable.
I'm curious to see how well this type of recommendation works in comparison to community based sites like hacker news and reddit.
I would say that this can help with discovery of content that you're interested in. Similar to hacker news, just an alternative approach.
I'm interested to try it and have joined the wait-list. I'm looking forward to how it differentiates itself from other article curation apps (Feedly, Google news, etc.).
I hope this becomes true and sets a trend. This is not just an economic advantage but also an environmental advantage as well too as we have too many devices being thrown away into landfills.
I hope this trend continues with software, if a manufacturer decides to no longer support a version of software that was released, the consumers have the right to repair it as well. I know some believe Software Freedom and Open Source are supposed to solve this but that's not always a viable option.
Yah unfortunately where I work has 4 different deployments.
1. Sandbox for the devs to do whatever they please
2. Environment for the acceptance testing of features
3. Stable environment that mirrors production for sales and training
4. Production environment
Remote works has it's pros and cons. I love being able to be with family, no commute, a fully stocked kitchen with things I prefer to eat and the ability to take a nap when needed. The con for me is that I feel lonely throughout the day sometimes. The loneliness is great when I need to hit a flow state but other times it can be a bit sad.
I personally do. A "just works" configuration will be ideal for me. Anytime I install linux on a new computer, I find myself spending too much time tinkering with configuration settings to make basic things like adjusting keyboard brightness and volume control work with the respective keys.
I suspect access to this information won't be limited to fraud detection but loans, mortgages, etc.
What happens to people like me who don't really use social media as well?
