> Knowing the entire platform is how you become a productive Elixir programmer, though it seems some devs refuse to look behind the curtains to understand the Erlang side of it, thus never truly understand the power of the BEAM platform.

This should be a lesson learned by all that boost about Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, F#, C and C++ replacements, JavaScript replacement, without bothering to learn the underlying infrastructure they are build upon.

Many times the X is going to replace Y advocacy, is a bit hard to achieve when the platform was designed for Y and will never go away from Y, for its whole lifetime.

That distinction (i.e. debit having less fraud and bad merchant behavior protections) is largely a myth: You get chargebacks and zero liability on effectively all debit cards these days.

At WWDC 2024, Apple once again introduced a series of remarkable new APIs for SwiftUI’s ScrollView component. These new features not only enhanced developers’ ability to control scrolling behaviors but also reflected the ongoing evolution of the SwiftUI framework’s design philosophy. This article will explore these latest scroll control APIs and review the development of all significant APIs related to scroll control since the inception of SwiftUI. Through this micro view, we will reveal the changes in SwiftUI’s design style over the past few years and the underlying macro design trends.
I was a kid in the 90s and I have vague memories of various little games and programs on the family Mac (the first one we had was a Mac SE IIRC). When I think about them today, I realize... they were probably HyperCard programs.

There was one that was basically an interactive storybook about a black cat, that I forget the name of now but I know is on Macintosh Garden. 99% sure that one is HyperCard.

My dad gave me a program called Soroban that was basically just an abacus, I think it gave you simple arithmetic problems and you'd do the calculations on the abacus to figure out the answer. He actually may have written that one himself, I'm not sure. (unfortunately I don't remember how to use an abacus today)

Interested to hear about what kinds of obscure HyperCard programs you all encountered back then...
> Math makes everything easier

This can't be overstated enough. Understanding the math behind what you are doing has the capacity to turn mind boggling hard problems trivial.
It's a shame Apple doesn't do something like this today. (Or maybe they do and I don't know about it?)
I'm not thinking of anything as formal as that, more in terms of trying to get a handle on the difference between the words in ordinary language.

Metaphors, analogies and models often help us understand things, but they can mislead unless they are, to a reasonable degree, models of the thing we we are trying to understand. The physicist Matt Strassler calls the latter 'phibs', and has written a recently-published book motivated by one in particular, an attempt to explain the relevance of the Higgs field. https://profmattstrassler.com/2024/04/16/why-the-higgs-field...
Notice how the list of negatives leaves out the 800 pound gorilla in the room? High levels of debt taken on to finance their, uh, ‘competence’.

People praising their ‘competence’ seem to ignore it. And the people complaining seem to ignore it. We’re beset on both sides of our political divide by fiscal apathy.

If places like Carmel fail, I’m certain their failure will have much more to do with bad debt than homelessness.
So, where do poor people live in that area?

I would also mention Reno, Nevada which what managed to hugely transform the downtown/midtown area from what was an incredibly seedy place with hourly motels and homeless to something closer to average that you can take your family to. Lots more hip bars and restaurants, walkable areas, upgraded bus transport in the downtown/midtown area, and the UNR campus which abuts the downtown is significantly upgraded from what it was 10 years ago with beautiful new buildings and lots of new student housing.

Key actions:
- Far more housing built, especially mid-upper end apartments
- Actively partnered with real estate developers to get rid of unutilized land in downtown/midtown and purchase and upgrade what were once sketchy motels
- New transportation options in the area to make it more walkable/accessible with a scooter partnership (geofenced to the area) and bus service

Edit to add: Almost all of this has been under the leadership of the current three term mayor who is an independent (or nonpartisan, forget exactly how she bills herself) showing how impactful local office can be. However, she does get some flak for not solving the local homeless problem, but personally having lived in SF, I understand how that's a much more difficult/intractable issue.
Not in a way that’s usable as an alternative to credit/debit cards. Some countries have that; the US definitely does not yet.
>There are better "canonical examples" of competent local government, like Zurich, Geneva

When was the last time you were in Geneva? It deteriorates with each passing year. Homeless druggies on Rue du Rhone were not possible even 5 years ago, now they are there every 50 metres. The worst part is that now, during the summer, the ambient weed smell mixes with the evaporation from the lake to produce a truly obnoxious atmosphere.
Some of the northern suburbs of DFW have done a good job managing explosive growth. Lots of parks, trails, mixed use development and places to actually live a life and not just work/getdrunk. It wasn’t that long ago when Frisco was just a blinking yellow light and a row of “massage parlors” in trailer homes (quite literally). Now it’s the poster child for successful suburb.

> I think your response is overly optimistic; what you're saying is _possible_, but actual deployment of the policy leaves quite a bit to be desired.

Again: textbook example of perfect being the enemy of good.

I completely disagree with your take. I've seen whole supermarket chains switch from single-use plastic bags to multi-use cardboard crates in their delivery services, and also to paper bags/containers. That's pretty much the definition of the ideal outcome.

So you're seeing some plastic being thrown out. That's besides the point. The point is how many volume of plastic is being dumped onto the environment after supermarkets switched away from cheap single-use plastic bags.

Haven't tried BT on my machine. It looks the drives were loaded correctly and there were no errors or warnings. But that shouldn't be really a big issue as the WIFI/BT on my machine is a Intel AX210, which is easy to obtain. I guess you can simply get one if your machine has a slot for it. I don't really have a T520, so cannot really tell if there were any other issues. To be sure what was the problem, you will need to read the error msg. Sometimes the error msg you see might not be the root cause. And also, you did not have hardware issue before does not mean you don't have a hardware issue now...

It's not proven until the debt is paid. Or at least brought down to levels similar to long term averages.

Any semi-competent government should be able to improve short term results with a debt binge.

But if Carmel can get long term results that are financially sustainable - because their investments justify debt cost - they've really demonstrated their model works.

> An empty string being false encourages the poor practice of using empty strings to mean "there is no value here".

That is not bad practice, as I said before, you almost always want to only process non-empty Strings, but sometimes an empty String comes in from user input or whatever and you either have to check it everywhere like in Java, or in Groovy that is just the default... you can still do 'if (str != null)' to be more explicit, but in my experience that is almost never what you want. Bad practice is making the more usual case look more unusual.

Also, it's nothing like JS because in JS empty lists and maps are `true`! The commonality with Common Lisp is exactly that "not being empty" is what the concept of true represents.

Uncover the hidden advantages that will make you spend less and save time while building out your product landing page as a founder or indie hacker.

Building a website from scratch or hiring a team of UI/UX designers and developers will be extra costly. But with WordPress themes and plugins that are free or available at a fraction of the cost of custom development, you can quickly build a product page for your new venture.

Likewise, you can also eliminate the need for a web builder's monthly platform fees.

Need more reasons to convince you it can be the best alternative instead of building from scratch or hiring a UIUX designer and dev to spend weeks on converting the landing page? Learn more on my medium page

I'd also love to know why you will not or never consider WordPress for your new product landing page.

Maybe I still don't understand something, but all this sounds pretty dystopian and dehumanizing to poorer people. Lack of any safety net can't be good for society, and this makes it harder for less privileged people to ascend the social ladder. But well I guess it's good for finances of this particular city.
It does. And meteorology, climatology and cosmology for example.
I mean, it's hard to not feel burned out when your day consists of process, navigating politics, and implementing ideas that are clearly doomed to fail.

It's a lot better than homelessness though.

Mine has been in its current position for about five years. I was being slightly hyperbolic about being much younger -- but it was pre-40 and pre-kids, so not too much.
The leading example in the article is Carmel, Indiana. I am not sure what has been done there should be described as a model of competent governance. This is a small city (100k people/50k workers/37k households [1]) where the city has taken on major amounts of debt (1.4$billion/14k per person/28k per worker/38k per household) to create public amenities.

The financial logic of what Carmel is doing centers around zero-sum competition with neighboring communities. Carmel is betting that by being the nicest place with the fanciest amenities, they will attract the richest families and be able to support that heavy debt burden in the coming decades.

This is explicitly not a model that every community could follow! It relies on spending more than would be prudent for the current tax base, in the hopes of standing out in comparison to other communities. And for sure its a bet that could fail badly, depending on general economic conditions. Its too soon to tell if the gamble will work out successfully, and very hard to tell even in hindsight how risky it was, succeed or fail.

Devil's advocate: That is mentioned in a section of what they aren't trying to do in this repo. That said, I agree that is something this will inevitably be used for and wish for a day that will probably never come where technology isn't sending us head first into a fairly dystopian future.
Yeah, I could never do serious front-end work, I just can't do (and also don't enjoy) making anything graphical.

That said I have made a couple web apps for personal & work use (and I have a Neocities) and it is certainly a freeing experience to write them without giving a crap about aesthetics or design. I get the job done, it's not pretty, but once the functionality's there I'm happy.

Fighting with CSS to make things align properly is the least fun aspect of this, but it is pretty fun to figure out the logic to generate the HTML, interact with the backend, have some JavaScript for basic interactivity, etc.

> creating being the rich neighbourhood of a larger urban area

When I was five, Carmel was a nothingville with two stop lights we lived in a house my dad could afford buying as a college student. It had all the growth problem of a small Indiana town during the industrial decline of the 70s and 80s. That it got escape velocity from being another broke Indiana town is pretty remarkable.

> easier to be competent when money is not an issue

If it was easy, then everywhere could do it - and the Carmel miracle was getting the money needed to fuel it's growth.

There was a strategy, and a very long-term focus on building a nexus of business and attracting the right support people (i.e. investors, healthcare, education, lawyers...) to attract the kind of people that those businesses needed. The mayor used a book "The Geography of Jobs" as one of his guiding strategies.

The article: "Took on $1.4B in debt ($14k per capita)"

Sigh.

I’m a fiscal conservative.

My bar for ‘prove it out’ is a lot higher than the liberal or Jesus conservative bar for ‘prove it out’. My bar includes retiring the debt. Which has not happened. And if history is any indication, it’s not likely to happen either.

But again, I’ll go ahead and wish them luck on paying that back. If they can do that, good on them. Pretty sure it won’t happen though.
The same compulsion that drives the smoker to smoke drives the person that eats compulsively to eat. Be it for comfort or habit. Hormones and neurotransmitters drive behavior.

What gets deposited into your bank account and what gets stocked at your local grocery drives what you put into your body to survive.

If eating healthy is too expensive or outright impossible because of what is stocked at your local grocery and your hormones and neurotransmitters are telling you overwhelmingly to eat poorly... Is this laziness?
Focusing on development is not a panacea--I see plenty of places that are trying to 'develop' but it is just sprawl. Plenty of places give huge incentives and pays for road upgrades for things like corporate parks that never fill up or pay for the investment.
Roundabout also have the effect of not needing expensive traffic lights and not needing as wide of roads. They increase throughput and thus can decrease backups. If you only have 2 lanes instead of 4 it is much less expensive to maintain.

Windows licensing is the hardest part of my job. Like if I want to have thin clients running Windows 11 VMs hosted on Windows Server 2022, how do I pay Microsoft so they will let me use the software in this way? I have no idea. I think you need to contact some kind of client services representative at Microsoft in order to figure out the whole licensing thing. By the way if it wasn't clear, I hate all of this. The only good thing about it is that I can make a living by dealing with it so other people don't have to.

Not in Wikipedia: how the Singapore ruling party also appoints their most loyal members to high-paying political positions ($660k/year), where nobody really knows what the role is about [1].

Many loyal members also get cushy directorship and leadership appointments to state-controlled companies [2], labour associations [3], and non-profits [4].

Some of these are up-and-coming MPs in need of resume padding, others are election losers that still need to maintain their million-dollar lifestyles.
