Recently, the writing-by-hand vs typing debate has been getting some more press, with people saying that pen and paper leads to better retention while note taking. Could reading have similar differences between methods?

Some businesses try to make money by trying to make their clients money.

Yeah, nice use of the word try. You give me money, I try to help you make money.

That's not quite what I meant. I mean they only get paid if you make money.

It’s nice of you to consider the wellbeing of other users, but I think every adult has the right to make their own decisions about how to spend their money.

If it’s not a price you’re willing to pay, that’s fine. But if someone else gets value out of it and thinks it’s a fair trade, that’s between them and the app creator.

Since we're apparently now doing Freshman Civics:

There are many sorts of transactions that someone would get value from and think are a fair trade, but are prohibited for one reason or another.

Even for those somewhat-antisocial transactions that aren't prohibited, there's no rule that says that you can't complain about how those transactions could be more pro-social.

Yeah, and there's also no rule that says that other people can't tell you to shut up.


Why do you feel the need to tell them to shut up?


I've been curious about AdonisJS, and I think I'll give it a try thanks to your comment.

Recently, I've been fascinated by the "batteries included" back end frameworks of Rails, Laravel, and Django, but I've written TypeScript for pretty much my entire career, and it's just easier to keep it that way than to switch now.

What are your thoughts so far in your testing? Could you compare it to any of those other frameworks I mentioned?


I cannot compare it to Django and Laravel since I haven't used them for a few years.

Rails is definitely more mature. It has a larger ecosystem and much more documentation. If you don't see any benefit from having types and sharing the programming language between the backend and frontend, then you are probably better off with rails.

That being said AdonisJS has been working out surprisingly well thus far. I've found the documentation to cover pretty much anything we'd usually want an app to do, which is refreshing in the world of TS.

You are also not locked in any way. While you can use the in-house ORM, validation library etc., it's easy to use something else if you prefer that.

There are a few more rough edges than what you'd be used to from Rails, but nothing big so far and the source code is easy enough to get around, which I wouldn't say is always the case with rails. There's also a discord channel that seems fairly active and helpful.

Slightly off topic, but does “techbro” mean anything other than “male that I don’t like who works with computers”? I feel like it initially had a real meaning, but now it’s kind of a catch all term.


How would that be phrased in Spanish? Are you talking about the future tense in constructions like "Será que...?" or "Estará volviendo" to say "he must be returning"?


Julia habría dormido con Pedro anoche.

As explained, mood is implied. This is a common pattern in news reports, etc., not quite colloquial


Yeah, it's very common in news because it's a very concise way to indicate the possibility of doubt because it's just "gossip" (as the title here would have it).


Not much to add to an already great comment, but I'll emphatically back the recommendation of "Models".

I read that book in my early 20s so that I could have better relationships with women, but what I got from that book were lessons on living a good and authentic life. Easily the most influential book I've ever read.


What does the $50 get you with Obsidian? I don’t pay, and I’m able to access my notes from my desktop and mobile apps.


They must be talking about the commercial license.

Software developer with 6 years of experience.

Professionally, I've mostly worked as a front end engineer, but during that time I learned and practiced back end concepts. This year, I've switched over completely to full stack, and I've been making a number of projects to experiment and improve.

I love working in environments that value strong communication skills.
