mikercampbell··on Show HN: UI Library Creator
Hey, your presentation more than makes up for that approach. I’ve already sent it to my team to see if it’s something we’d want to try!
mikercampbell··on Gleam: a type safe language on the Erlang VM
WHAT. I will catch up with you after the rabbit-hole.

I’ve got massive hopes for things like Bun, but especially Deno’s architecture of message passing, but I’m now humbled by my not knowing that existed in V8.

Bibbity Bobbity Boo No symptoms of depression for you!
mikercampbell··on Show HN: Flyscrape – A standalone and scriptable web scraper in Go
Have you seen Crul??

I love the JS flow, but I thought crul was an interesting newer tool!!

But I agree, you gotta get in there and it’s easier with JS

mikercampbell··on Gleam: a type safe language on the Erlang VM
I transferred from Node.js to elixir for that reason.

Uncaught throws, hanging errors - while someone much smarter than I could have done it better, I was doing a lot of async/retry of APIs with high failure rate and the BEAM just made it easy.

mikercampbell··on Are colonoscopies worth it?
Jesus Christ, next time start with the fact that you’re not one thoracic tumor .

I’m a dude that had GERD but got both ends checked and they found polyps, so I randomly got incredibly lucky.

I was 26, and had less of a fight because of history, but it’s way worth it.

Also, ask about the Miralax option!

mikercampbell··on A third of chocolate products are high in heavy metals
That sounds like the voice of someone who is trying to ruin chocolate for me by making me think heavy metals every time I get a break of that KitKat bar
mikercampbell··on People experience ‘new dimensions of reality' when dying: study
This is my professional account, but in my professional experience, cannabis miscalculations can lead to time travel lmao
mikercampbell··on Show HN: REST Alternative to GraphQL and tRPC
Did you ever play with Realm.io? It had a ton of promise, and I loved the idea of “OOP API”, where objects write themselves to the database from your app.

My opinion is more nuanced now, but still it’s super cool.

mikercampbell··on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible (2019)
This is like in basketball where they throw it right next to the hoop for someone to make an innuendo slam dunk, right??
mikercampbell··on People experience ‘new dimensions of reality' when dying: study
My thing is, if this is true, then a fairly large percentage of us will experience a “lock-in” syndrome of complete paralysis for as long as a hour before we die.

Death just got a bit longer haha.

mikercampbell··on Show HN: Pigsty – Free RDS Alternative
That’s my thing. I closed the docs as soon as I opened them because I already couldn’t imagine convincing anyone this was a good idea enough to convince me it was a good idea. If that made any sense
mikercampbell··on Show HN: I built an app that lets you create and chat with 3D AI characters
I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Keep the sign-in!

But also a demo would be cool!!

mikercampbell··on Full Speed Ahead: EV Study Reveals Impacts of Fast Charging
Yeah, I don’t know EV’s or how often it’s intended you replace your battery, but I would feel that 9% just because I hyper focus haha
mikercampbell··on Launch HN: HyLight (YC S23) – Hydrogen airships to inspect energy infrastructure
This was the question I wanted answered first haha
mikercampbell··on An interpreter for a programming language based on Spotify playlists
Um, can I get you to read my code? Haha
mikercampbell··on W. H. Auden’s 1954 review of The Fellowship of the Ring
That Hobbit trilogy? GAWD. I tried reading the hobbit and while I loved it, I agree while at the same time saying that culture is rampant.

Like how they’ll never stop making Willy Wonkas or Alice in Wonderlands, and each gets increasingly painful.

mikercampbell··on Easier Recursion in Elixir (2023)
I love posts that go beyond what the code does and actually covers why to do it.

I feel like I understand the elixir language, but not the elixir approach completely, yet? If that makes sense?

Posts like these give me new taproots to spread from. Thank you for sharing it!

mikercampbell··on Custom phx.new generator in Phoenix Elixir
I mean, not to get carried away, and yes macros exist, but I also like the idea of less keystrokes where things can still be edited easily.
mikercampbell··on Custom phx.new generator in Phoenix Elixir
Oh heck yes! I love this, as I was thinking of how I’m constantly reaching for the same tools, and how I wish Elixir had codegen like I had in Go.

I would also add auth and stream functions to controllers!

mikercampbell··on The anesthetic effect of air at atmospheric pressure
I could hear the dice rolling in my head
mikercampbell··on Elixir – Why the dot when calling anonymous functions?
I’ve missed Dashbit posts!! Good to see another one!
mikercampbell··on A Breakdown of HTTP Clients in Elixir
Ahhhh. I can absolutely see that. I’ve got two similar, but slightly different Tesla clients, and it required two separate modules because of the “assemblage”, but can see how Req could have piped easier, probably allowing me to use only one client instead of two.
mikercampbell··on A Breakdown of HTTP Clients in Elixir
Is it a bad idea to use Tesla? I’ve got it in my app, but I never know.
mikercampbell··on Launch HN: Twenty.com (YC S23) – Open-source CRM
I love this! Having been the “Salesforce guy” at a few companies, it’s good to see people working to solve those problems.

As a developer, I’m eager to have a solution that limits sales teams constructively. The ability to add, edit, and delete fields and properties on the fly made creating maintainable client software difficult.

It will be cool to see how you go about it!

mikercampbell··on Internet Archive expands Flash support
Pokémon Tower Defense??
mikercampbell··on Tree-Structured Concurrency
I was thinking “they reinvented GenServer”, but felt like a snob haha
mikercampbell··on Scientists report world’s first X-ray of a single atom in Nature
Also, in one version, whenever anyone flips a coin, they get tails. Every single time. Except for you, you only ever get heads.

The world crumbles in the pursuit of trying to understand why you only flip heads. Theories are invented, and prizes awarded, but nobody knows that it’s just because that version was extremely specific in its randomness.

In a world where there are infinite possibilities and infinite attempts, all possibilities are an eventuality, including floating brains in space.

This is a thought I had while doing the dishes today.

But I also love that optimism. And there are versions who gave up LONG before where you are! This might be the version where you win!
