Your jobs table isn't a domain model. @zachdaniel.dev shows durable workloads with AshFramework, AshStateMachine, and AshOban.
Model work as state, not tasks.

Deciduous - Your AI Assistant Remembers Every Decision Build decision graphs from existing git history. Track goals, decisions, and outcomes as you work. Recover context across sessions.

It also nudges you into better habits while coding with an LLM overall.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

I didn't even notice because I use a keyboard, mouse wheel,or scroll gesture.

Should be a nice tool for zipping faster to specific positions tho.

I'm making a free open source media center app for my TV and we're struggling like crazy to come up with a name for it.

Any ideas? No wrong answers.

So.. we're all expecting llm rug pull where the price skyrockets, yeah?

It's get everyone hooked with a business model that doesn't work and then bleed em dry, I suspect.

This is exactly why we're building Vatly.

EU-based. EU-hosted. No US jurisdiction exposure.

If you're migrating from Lemon Squeezy, consider an EU alternative before defaulting to another US platform.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

1000/mo is insane economic extraction. Imagine a person's life where that money was going into their home instead..

Just arrived in Oslo for no reason. Never been to Norway and just want to poke around.

Auto pilot has consistently continued to improve. For example, opus 4.6 stops and asks more questions than ever in order to navigate important decisions. This can help compensate for a lack of strategic and tactical consideration in the operator, which in turn results in improved outcomes.

Warriors: Legend of the Blue Dragon - The Two Heroes : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive This is the Fantraslation of an Gamefreak Super nintendo swan song only in japan. and you must check it out is one of the most outright strange game ever been...

Selecting random fan translations on my mister fpga, I came across this Super Nintendo game that I've never heard of before.

Warriors - Legend of the Blue Dragon

It's a turn based side scrolling battle game that is strange from top to bottom. Hidden gem.

For even more fun, you can capture the struct module 😁

def add_one_hour(%date_or_time{} = value) when date_or_time in [DateTime, NaiveDateTime, Time] do
...
end

I had the please to speak with @eddmann.com about event sourcing lessons learned from 10 years of production and a bunch of related patterns and concerns that have surrounded this architectural choice.

I'm glad that we were able to cover a lot of non-introductory material here.

Nobody asked, but here's my experience of raising kids in / protecting them from the current technological environment.
