I think OP believes that 11 is more significant ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven …

This looks amazing, I've been thinking about improving in-line documentation beyond code comments. I'm not a vscode user but will give it a spin when I have some time.

Completely agree with the sentiment. But the definitions for both "production" and "application" are not so black and white. Take a super simple no-code app like a Google form surv…

No-code is going to be used in production for sure. It's not something only for sandboxing and prototypes.

That reminds me of the Revisionist History episode "The Big Man Can't Shoot" which is about how Rick Barry shoots underhand free throws in basketball. It's a Malcolm Gladwell podca…

If we designed a new async language today, would it include async/await keywords? I think they don't add anything conceptually and it's just a patch for languages that didn't desig…

Maybe they used gevent which "magically" makes things async without the keywords.

Wow, that is expensive for such a simple design. I live in the Netherlands and these are too fast for bicycle paths and too unsafe for regular roads. Love the idea, but we would need much cheaper mass…

Good ebikes for 1k? I think "good" starts at 2k.

Ok, I crunched some numbers today. It turns out that in The Netherlands, 98.9% of screenings are from 2019,2020,2021. There are quite some cinemas showing old films, but it's only 1.1%. I based t…

Author here: I discovered this when I was building a multiplication table practice app for my 7 y/o son. You can play around with that here (try quiz mode): https://hugo-tafels.waleson…

I know Chrome works (not Chromium, as it uses online Google services) and iPhone should work too.

What does this have to do with no-code?

Some place on the Ceintuurbaan around Sarphatipark. I often cycled past there on my way to work but never managed to visit.

I'm actually based in Utrecht ;) Looking at all the comments here it seems there's possibly lots of old films being shown (depending on your geo) but awareness is very low. I've certain…

Interesting! Where is this? In Amsterdam I know one theater that's showing old films and that's the 1% I was talking about ;)

Ok, here's my problem with the movie theatre industry. There's 100+ years of fantastic historical content and we're not doing anything with it. 99% of what's shown in theaters is n…

I've often played around with the idea of doing reverse interviews for finding badly needed senior talent. After some time I realized that interviews are typically done by senior talent... So the…

I had a very cool physics teacher who taught the class this around 2004. Not sure how many stuck with it, but I haven't looked back. For centuries virtually every single person tied their shoela…

In the summer of '99, when I was 11, my father asked me to reverse engineer a proprietary data format because he would be needing that a couple of months later. He showed me how I could manipulat…

Some context: I was taught Haskell, Prolog and Java at university (2006-2010). Coming from chaotic JavaScript and PHP scripting all were hard to grok, but I enjoyed them all. After a couple of years o…

Agreed. Haskell solves real problems and it's quite a good language once you learn it, it's the cultural focus on theory rather than humans that I don't like.

I strongly dislike Haskell's focus on theory. Just show me examples on how to get things done and then the concepts will become clear. The Haskell and mathematics communities too often act like i…

In many startup product companies, the specific knowledge about the product is not interchangeable with other tech companies. The tech skills and the soft skills are, but a large part is know-how abou…

Cool. Not sure if you use the sitemap to fetch by default, but if you don't then I'm really impressed by the speed! Some feedback: the prices on the pricing page look bad for me on mobile (a…

Welcome to the digital eye test club! I'm CTO at easee.online and we've been in this space for a couple of years. Let me know if you want to have a virtual coffee! I'd be happy to have …

It's not like we're proud of booking. Dark patterns in their product, horrible tech stack. As a software engineer there you'll get paid 30% over market value to work on Perl in a dysfun…

I've seen many of these attempts by developers turned Product Manager (myself included). Ultimately the ease of use of powerpoint / google sheets cant be beat. There's a very long tail …

I worked for a company called Mendix. Most US based sales people would pronounce it more like Mendax. We obviously had quite some running jokes within the company, but most employees only realized aft…
