Thanks for sharing. I haven't noticed anything on the Firefox extension under the same name. ublock may be stopping it. I can investigate and post what I find here in a few hours.

I remember hearing a lot of sentiment mid-2010s about how since he was a successful businessman that he will make good decisions in the White House. America was longing for someone that wasn't 'status quo', so to say.

I agree with you on the personality side, but I also think his overall fame from TV, real estate, etc. is just as big a factor to his political success.

There's a handful of strange grammatical errors & many short sentences, that gave it a weird vibe for me too. Worth reading, though.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the response!

big update yesterday to the language enhanced type checking https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/10/16/elixir-v1-19-0-relea...

Interesting. I remember a gripe being the performance of LINQ wasn't great even for a webapp years back. I'm assuming its negligible nowadays or did you notice less frames when the LINQ runs?

I only have ever used LINQ in the context of enterprise. What are your thoughts on using it in game dev?

Can you show me how you would write it? I don't see how this contributes to the conversation unless you show me how or why

These patterns are commonplace for many years now in many languages.

The intention was to show how declarative code can come from imperative with a 'true' one-liner.

My intention wasn’t to promote one-liners as a best practice, but to illustrate how declarative style can evolve from imperative code.

In production, I agree that clarity should come first.

What are your thoughts on using a functional language (elixir, haskell) for projects like uv?

Agreed. That's how I would write it in a professional codebase. I added it to show the transformation from separate functions -> LINQ one-liner. Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up, must've slipped my mind. Edit: fixed

Looks promising. Thanks for sharing!

I see your point. I've just craved a rails-like experience in Lua for a while and don't believe there's anything out there yet built on Lua that can match with the big boys (rails, .NET, etc.)

I've been saying it for years: Lua needs its Ruby on Rails moment

We've already sorta come full circle with the Meta glasses having a physical button to interact with the Facebook AI

That pricing model is insane and confusing as hell. Your FAQ clears it up slightly but was hard pass from me almost instantly due to the conflicting information in the pricing section.

Maybe ten years ago...but he kept opening his mouth so here we are.

The market will follow supply and demand at its equilibrium, which clearly we are not at. The question is: what is preventing it from reaching that point?

it doesn't seem to handle multiple monitors very gracefully yet, at least when I used it & on my setup. Felt a little bit slower than gnome and less stable across the board.

For example, the top-bar UI doesn't render certain app icons properly, which was driving me crazy. Maybe it's a settings/config thing. My opinion is if cosmic isn't a drop-in replacement for gnome with extra bells and whistles, im not going to use it.

For all I know, it could be a lot better than gnome at this point. But for a daily driver that I'm working in, I need the stability of gnome over the 'cool factor' of cosmic.

I really liked the direction it is heading and will be using it eventually. Worth installing and trying out!

Pop is great & i love what system76 is doing, but the bugs in cosmic have had me holding off. I will certainly try again soon.

My gut assumption is that people will default to tribalism, but that has proven to be wrong over the past few years.

That's a fair point. My gut reaction is that people will default to tribalism, but I think this has been a different situation than most others (and going on a lot longer).

I'm just speaking from my personal experience and don't mean to draw any conclusions about anything.

Depends a lot on your age and preferences. I don't mind dating women older than me so Facebook Dating has been great for me lol! Definitely pales in comparison to Tinder, etc. if your ideal partner is college age/below 25.

Very true. I've gone on dates with a couple Jewish women over the past two or three years & they've all staunchly supported Palestine which surprised me a bit.

I see what you're saying lol. It is important to specify that the dating profile is different from the social media one, so im not catfishing or anything like that. I am just not sharing personal data with fb on their social media side/profile.

It is not marketed at all. It just kind of popped up one day. I've never gone back to tinder, etc since then. It is the best experience to me personally.

Maybe people over still 40 use the social media site in large numbers. I just have a fake profile to access marketplace & dating.

Facebook Dating is clearly being used as a 'loss-leader' against these apps, and it is fantastic for end users and the overall market.

For those of you who haven't tried it, it offers far more swipes, generous filtering, and no payments required at all for every feature.

I'm surprised more people haven't taken notice of it.

Blazor and Phoenix both seem the most intuitive for me also, especially when building complex frontends that require a lot of business logic. Being able to ditch the JS for that kind of work is amazing.
