I can see brown I can see blue I can see violet sky…


The title is editorialized but why on earth was this even drafted? It's completely absurd.


Even though I knew it was the author I read this article in the comedians voice :)


I can't help but wonder how the two feel about each other; both being big names in their own field. Both enjoyable in their own right too.


It does sound a bit like something he might have written.


Looks interesting but I don't have a Facebook account :/


The dependency on Facebook is kind of unfortunate, as it excludes those who either don't have a Facebook account, or for various reasons do not want to use it to sign up for services. I am myself in the latter category, but went with it as I wanted a single login, and saw it as the best alternative at the time - got some more about that in the 'why Facebook?' section on the site.

Would really like to provide a solution that could work without login, but I'm kinda clueless on how to solve this in a good way, that allows for the creator not knowing what has been checked off or not, as well as allowing others to both check and later - perhaps even on another device - uncheck items :/


I am slowly getting there. After watching the film cowspiracy my wife and I decided to slowly transition, mainly environmental reasons but also because of the way animals are treated. We eat meat maybe once/twice a week coming down from twice daily, and when we do eat meat we try and source the best from small farmers. Transitioning away from meat has been relatively easy, where I personally fall short is dairy. There just isn't a good substitute for cheese and I find the smell and taste of soya milk awful. Hopefully new products will come along...


Unsweetened cashew milk is the best "veggie milk".

I find soy milk to be so thick it feels like drinking yogurt. Almond milk tastes like dirt to me, but cashew milk is so close to milk that I haven't found any reason to buy actual cow's milk in years.

Agree with you on cheese though. There just isn't good vegan cheese.


Have you tried almond milk?


Nice. Now if only we could get GRRM or Patrick Rothfuss to use this tool.


+1 to Elixir and Phoenix from my side. I have yet to dabble with Phoenix but the short amount of time I've spent with Elixir has been thoroughly enjoyable. I can't wait to rewrite chunks of code at work into small phoenix applications.


Elixer and Phoneix definitely on my dabble list. Falcon (Python) definitely on my 'use in production' list.


Welcome to the party!


Hi @FollowSteph. You mention that it takes at least 2-3 years to get a good product going. Curiously, how many developers did you have for those initial 3 years?


My dog is gonna bite the crap out of that drone when it lands in my yard.
