Re:Cast iron leet on Saturday August 13, 2022 @09:57PM (#32455625)
I really want to love my cast iron, but I just have such a hard time cleaning it - or rather, maybe I'm not supposed to clean it? I'm just so confused with what to do after cooking with it for a meal.
completely agree with you - at this point, if we can coexist with covid, it'll hopefully become more and more like the common flu
Re:10 years-ish of Elixir on Friday January 15, 2021 @05:41PM (#25797518)
I'll need to do more research and maybe see if there are videos online showing how other developers debug in Elixir with those libraries.
Re:10 years-ish of Elixir on Thursday January 14, 2021 @03:04PM (#25781717)
I have found Elixir as a whole to be amazing, but the debugging process to be painful. Maybe its because I'm used to using Chrome's developer tools (since I mostly debug JavaScript), but I really wish that debugging on Elixir could be simpler. Using printf's is just too painful and feels backwards.
I'm a grown man and I would LOVE to be in that workshop and learn those skills!
Re:Nim 1.2 on Friday April 03, 2020 @05:05PM (#22773952)
As someone who's heard of Nim, can someone who's used it tell me a little bit more about its benefits and how it compares to other common languages like JavaScript, Python, etc?

What are good resources for learning the basics of relational databases, and then learning the more intricate parts of it?
Re:Why am I interested in Elixir? on Thursday July 04, 2019 @07:19PM (#20358590)
My experience with Elixir has been great but one area of improvement is debugging. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using something like Chrome's developer tools, but I wish there was something as easy to use for setting breakpoints and inspecting the environment. Would love to know how others are debugging currently!
Re:Switch from Chrome to Firefox on Thursday May 30, 2019 @02:49PM (#20054618)
I would switch off of Chrome if Firefox has better developer tools. Unfortunately, as a developer, Chrome's developer experience is just significantly better.

Re:Sketches of Elixir on Sunday December 30, 2018 @03:20AM (#18788078)
I've been learning Elixir as well and practicing my Elixir with this year's Advent Of Code. So far, I've really been enjoying writing in Elixir but if there's one thing I wish it was better at, it would be debugging in Elixir. Maybe its because I'm so used to using Chrome's developer tools, but I wish there was something as easy and simple to use like that for debugging Elixir.
This really makes me wish there was a way to watch his courses online! Anyone know of any available?
I agree with you - just started reading this and finding it super helpful in my understanding of JS.
Looking at the site it’s basically using popups in your app or website and we all know how much we like them.
