It was a blast.

Of course they are, and the order "reduce, reuse, recycle" are in that order for a reason-- reuse (via resale) is superior to recycling the product itself.

This looks killer for analytic workloads in app or even just basic data transformation/munging from a data lake.

It's unusual that Cuomo ran as an independent trying to "spoil"-- but NYC has such a large number of Democrats (like many US cities) that the more competitive and important election is typically the primary election (which determines who is running for each party). NYC has had a history of sometimes going other directions (as Cuomo's relatively high vote shows; having elected Michael Bloomberg many times, for example).

Mamdani won the primary for the democrats over Cuomo, but Cuomo decided to try and do an independent run to further challenge him.

We did the views on view thing once when triggers, at least how we implemented them failed. This became a huge regret that we lived with for years and not-so affectionately called "view mountain". We finally slayed viewed mountain over the last 2 years and it feels so good.

The people in charge are intentionally ignorant of things that _already exist in government_, like the OIG, 18F/USDS, etc. And since their actual goal is to slash and burn the government so that it's literally unable to function, thus justifying its total collapse since it no longer has capacity, they have to take out the people who actually look for corruption, look into social security fraud, improve government technology systems, etc who would see through and call this shit out.

It's never been about making government more effect or efficient-- it's the managerial equivalent of the "starve the beast" mentality.

A lot of services, (like Feedbin in my prior reply) and a lot of reader applications will permit different ways of viewing the data to get full content to appear even in truncated feeds. That said, non-full content feeds are pretty rare outside of corporate media.

I don't really know what you mean. There's a ton of feed readers, both from an application and server side. I don't really need a lot of organization, but I've never seen a reader without support for folders. If you need more than one layer of hierarchy at 50 blogs... I have no idea what you're doing. I follow like 250 blogs and have just two folders, maybe, and it's super maintainable.

Anyway, services like Feedbin have been going strong for a long time, have a rock solid syncing system with great tools for things like seeing frequency of posting and abandoned or moved feeds, folders, automatic filters, and broad support in the app ecosystem if you don't like their apps or web experience (which is very good).

RSS is absolutely extensive and has millions of users. It's at least as mainstream as Mastodon/ActivityPub, it's just not talked about as such, and that's _excluding_ Podcasts as a use case.

This feels like a case for a function.

>> As someone who basically uses R as a nice LISP-y scripting language to orchestrate calling low-level compiled code from other languages

Except... this is exactly was R was created to do, with a focus on mathematical/statistical libraries written in things like FORTRAN.

R is great as a glue language for these purposes if the purpose of calling that low-level compiled code is largely to work with data and especially if that data is not so large/computationally intensive to work with that it does not need to be distributed across hardware.

All of these are fixed in the latest version (possibly just the beta that is about to be released to the store).

That includes OPML export (which remained available online but has returned to the app), arranging items (always possible throughout, but there were some new sync bugs that had to be worked out, IIRC), Go To Podcast (click the three buttons, last option in menu) from an episode, etc.

Of course you can use any number of ways to implement rich text or formatting. A lot of people want Markdown because of the portability of plain text. Markdown has served as a good mechanism for plain text formats that still can do a bit more. Ulysses would lose a significant portion of its audience if it moved to it's own syntax or some form of rich text or its own binary. A new audience would likely become interested-- though fighting Microsoft Word is ... hard to say the least.

Maybe that's where Ulysses wants to go, and its own implementation of some non-standard elements suggests that. But I also know people who will not use Ulysses because of its non-standard Markdown elements resulting in files that are less portable.

We have a four year old application, 10+ developers, 2500+ PRs, and I don’t think a line of erlang has been written by us. Maybe there’s one or two instances of calling an Erlang function in Elixir, but we’re 94.7% Elixir, 3.7% HTML, 1.1% JS, and 0.5% Other in our monorepo, full application.

Most of the time I'm using `filter ... where` for cases like these... for example

  select
    column_name,
    MAX(value) FILTER (where meta_key='total_rows') as total_row,
    MAX(value) FILTER (where meta_key='not_null_count') as not_null_count,
    ROUND(SUM (amount_in_cents) FILTER (WHERE EXTRACT(MONTH   FROM TIMESTAMP '2006-01-01 03:04:05) = 1) / 100.0, 2) as 'january_sub_total'
  FROM table
  GROUP BY column_name
