I have deleted my facebook account about like 3 years ago, I still have a fake account around tho with a fake name, fake image, fake background etc.

Just to be able to read and post in local groups to my community. I use a special browser for it with facebook container installed.

I have issues reaching a lot of sites, especially american. Both downdetector, hacker news and others loads extremely slow or not at all. Downdetector had a bunch of failed resources for me..

I think the "talk" by Chris McCord should apply here "Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes with LiveView and Phoenix 1.5", while not really a talk this year was special and the demo completely blew my mind.

it's available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI

Turbolinks afaik, loads a larger part of a page upon hover and click, replacing all of the old html while this only updates the parts that has needs updating. This will prevent forms from being cleared or other state in the DOM to be wiped.

I love that these new techniques come out to make web dev simple again. I however think Phoenix Liveview is still the best from all the alternatives I have seen so far and that is mainly because Elixir as a language seems to be very stable and suited for having a lot of websocket connections open at the same time.

It seems easier to accomplish this with Liveview and perhaps Alpine.js for displaying stuff like modals etc. It's a really good way to build applications I think for places that need a server roundtrip anyway which is most of the stuff in a modern app.

I write a SPA app for work in javascript and about 90% of the issues that occurs are mainly state issues where the state differs or is in a bad state for some reason. State management is very hard to do right and I think solutions like these simplyfies it a lot!

I urge people to check out Elixir and Phoenix Liveview which I think is the "original gangsta" when it comes to sending small updates over websockets and if you try it I will guarantee you will be blown away of the speed of which you can develop web apps as a solo dev.

I think microservices can work for large organizations with many teams. However, for smaller orgs and smaller teams it can for sure be a real killer.

It's hard to keep track on different applications, with different dependencies, different deployments etc etc.

Of course one could standardize things but then some of the benefits of using microservices to begin with disappears. I am a big believer in the big monolith but that is because I am almost always working in either a very small team or alone.

Wow, that's really disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Reddit used to be about free speech and internet activism, now it's about censorship and pushing a political agenda.

It's really amazing how you can go from awesome to super shitty. Reddit has implemented an automated thought police which means you will be banned if you upvote what they think is bad things.

It's really disgusting. Personally I went from loving reddit to hating it. If you like China and censorship, reddit is a great place for you.

Yes and I agree with the king. A note here is that neither me or my father meet other people. We both use hand sanitizers when we absolutely have to go out and we both live in houses with no other people nearby.

Sweden is not like your typical big american city, a lot of swedes live in houses with gardens and of course a lot of us also live in apartments in a city but that is not me and it is not my father.

If it were, we would both be wearing masks.

Well I think people should wear a mask, but neither me or my father meet other people. We cancelled christmas and for me it's just me and my gf with no other people, not even the closest family.

Don't worry, we're taking it more serious than most of the country.

I, like my father, of course use some stuff made in China since for several things there are literally no other choice.

But regarding masks, I live in Sweden and basically no one here wears a mask, including my father. Both me and my father have been isolated of course but there is really no need for him to wear a mask. We shop online and otherwise only meet people from our own family.

I work from home and he closed his company and went retired this year. I guess the joke is on you my friend.

Where in the world is Sony and Canon cameras produced?

I bought a sony android phone (which after a lot of research seems to be produced in Japan) to my father because he refuses to use anything produced in China and I am also very hesitant to buy stuff that is produced in countries that don't generally care about quality, the environment etc. I have thought about buying a Nikon for a long time but this maybe will make me reevaluate that pick.

ok lol, I just assumed the OP meant something else. Didn't know Salesforce tried to make a game?

What is an MMO? Massive Multiplayer Online?

Well except that donating to Mozilla, is donating to a bunch of diversity projects and people, not to the browser or tech.

I would gladly donate to mozilla the day I knew my money didn't go to Bakers already filled pockets or to some worthless diversity cause like a "queer feminist filmmaker" that is obviously on their payroll.

Mozilla as an org takes in a lot of money already, it is just that they seem to spend it on nothing of value for the most part. It's sad, but it's the reality.

Looks cool, but seems to be pretty unavailable unless you're a large business. Also, very weird that they write about themselves in third person.

Google, the original author behind cancel culture /s

This is depressing, we as developers have to take the bull by its horns. Simply stop using their services, advocate against AMP etc.

But in the end, the US government will most likely have to split the company in order for stuff to really change.

But who is promising it? It's not like the individuals that work in the teams tasked to work on the weekends is the same individuals that promise these KPI-numbers?

Even so, can you really claim that they are not pushed towards nearly impossible goals? It's very common to not reach a goal for a gazillion of reasons, forcing people to work weekends while you yourself get all the money from it is being an asshat.

Shithole move, I would rather live in the a shed in the woods than work for a person like that. I would make it official on the slack as well.

SQLite is really an awesome database, this seems great to store arbitrary json data!

The main pain points for me regarding .NET Core has been the lack of third party libraries, hard to understand sometimes which project can run on .NET Core and several cases that I had to switch back for smaller projects in order to use a specific library.

.NET Core is great, but I would continue to run it on .NET Framework for now.

I love how clearly you can see the smog. Really cool pic though.

The question is how large the organisms must have been under ground: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141114-the-biggest-organism...

After like.. a couple of minutes I think I got it now. Tweetdeck is another popular app and this is kind of like it, but for Github instead of Twitter?

Really confusing title for someone who have no clue about what tweetdeck was, which I assume most of us don't. Still doesn't understand what it actually does for me since I have no clue what tweetdeck does?

I didn't say anything about any yelling. I don't know about you, but I don't expect to pick up the women I talk to even if I start the conversation out of a sexual interest.

No it hasn't always been, it is a very, very recent reasoning. Talking to complete strangers is fun and I am always friendly. I don't necessarily do it in the street but it has happened.

Your kind of thinking is dangerous.

I understand that, but what I am saying is that it is what is going to be about as well. Why is it even common to think that is automatically harassment because you are starting a conversation with a woman in a street or grocery store?

These kind of laws makes approaching people with a sexual interest to perhaps be considered as sexual harassment. That's why I have stopped approaching women, it's not worth the risk. When it's popular to write peoples names publicly on twitter without any evidence for example (metoo), then you know it has gone way to far.

The truth is if people find you attractive, the chance is much lower that they will consider it harassment (even if it may be) and just let it slide. I am sure that these laws will just backfire on the very people it were designed to protect.

I'm also interested in this question. Because looking at myself, I have paid for several apps on both Windows and MacOS but never on Linux. Although to be fair I stopped using Linux as a desktop OS before I had the economic security needed to purchase apps in the first place.
