So the point is to be technically correct but practically irrelevant?

Devoted fan of A tries B, is displeased.
This, while unexpected, is not the end of the world.

My groceries come from farms, which I assume transport their food in individual SUVs.
Re:Alright, amigo, let's build some affordable housing on Monday April 04, 2022 @08:04PM (#30913600)
This might be totally true for Ohio. Most of the attention on the housing crunch is in cities where there is zero cheap land and the only development that should happen is high-density.

If your other option is "raw" React, Next.js: You'll do less yak-shaving and have to manage less engineering complexity versus using Next.js and rolling your own db/auth/testing/access control.

If your other option is Blitz: you get a larger core team, GraphQL if you like that, and fancier generators.

If your other option is Django/Rails/etc: it is like Rails, but integrates better with the frontend.

In both cases, we have quite a lot of historical evidence. There aren't many prominent examples of housing at all income levels being created without government intervention. And when there's an affordable housing crunch in a desirable city with a wide spectrum of jobs, people commute and live further away, which is bad for everyone involved.

These maps are beautiful! Excellent work. Especially love the face-mounted acrylic option.

Pure fear of the unknown, combined with fear of getting less-than-stellar tracebacks & profiling because Elixir's only one of the VM languages.

Having reliable scheduling in the language itself seems like it would simplify a ton of software that's currently reliant on a lot of message queueing and cron duct tape. Running BEAM in production still scares me, but that's one reason to conquer the fear.

Is there anywhere that marketing is defined as "the study of markets"?
