Was excited to click on it to begin with, but nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw that it was Elixir and LiveView.

It’s a shame that those Minsky links have been broken for at least a few months now. Does anyone know where this material is?

How does he blink? From the picture it looks like his eyelid would have to be stretched out over the device with his fingers.

Thank you so much for all of this great work. What was the inspiration for this direction? Was it a personal itch? Or something else?

I’ve enjoyed all 4 of these articles in this “Jackpot” series. Sort of exploratory writing. You can feel that he’s trying to find the truth, not necessarily convince. Plus it’s like all Gibsonian references.

I don't think Chinese cyber spying is really news to anyone. What's different about this now is that the U.S., a few others and notably, NATO are specifically calling out China for it.

That's a pretty heavy diplomatic change. Especially the inclusion of NATO.

This got me today. Probably could be characterized as the classic case of: Company says a certain use case is unsupported, but tries hard to accommodate users who are stuck with the unsupported use case, so they hack up a decent work around under the hood. Then the technically unsupported use case blows up, so they then have to scramble to support it with a quick work around...for the workaround.

The workaround worked. I think at this point it makes me more likely to keep using Netlify. I love the product. And I think I love the support for unsupported un-recommended feature that they supported today.

Thanks Netlify Ops!

Does anyone know if "docketed" means that SCOTUS granted Certiorari?

I second this. What was your handle?

This makes so much sense, and now looking at this image, I wonder if it explains "tabs vs spaces".

I think your examples are valid. I wonder though if it's a choice for someone to work 80 hours a week at $40k to make video games versus 37 hours a week at $80k doing forms over tables stuff for The Bobs. Is that a choice or exploitation?

I'm 46 years old. I can't think of one example where I was exploited as a tech worker. I'm from a union town, grew up in a union family. I support unions. The UAW was very important to the country and the middle class. I'm just not sure where the need is in tech. I think it might hurt us, if anything. Tech workers are not fungible. We do have quite a bit of leverage. Your average factory floor worker is fungible and has almost zero leverage.

Maybe I'm blind or it's not rendering correctly, but, where is Amazon and Apple in this universe?
