    Don't waste your money on an awful Android tablet on Black Friday
  • Pixel

    After getting burnt by both the Google endorsed Xoom and the Google branded Nexus 10, I don't trust them at all when it comes to tablets.

    With both, Google released good products, and then proceeded to ruin them with abhorrent changes to the software. They made the Nexus 10 dump it's tablet interface in favor of a big phone UI ffs.

  • Graphite is ok, but honestly it's a solution in search of a problem

    Maybe if you have a massive pr, splitting it up like this works, but that's really a planning failure. Stories should be smaller, and if you need to keep them separate for a long time, use feature branches

    CSS is fun again
  • They can both model any color equally well, it's just oklch works even closer to how we perceive colors changing. LAB and all derivatives are in Cartesian space, with luminance, a, and b being the defining axises. Luminance is self explanatory, but a and b are just axises of how much red/green and blue/yellow there is. It can be difficult to think of a color in how much blue it is, for example, when the color is something like nearly pure red. They both affect the hue output, so varying one can create strange, unintuitive colors

    LCH works in polar space, like a color wheel. L is still luminance, c is the "colorfulness" and h is the hue. H and C let you set the same values a and b would, but in a more human way. We're used to thinking about colors changing independent of how much of a color there is, and that's what LCH does. Vary only the h and you get very different colors. Vary only the c and you get the same color but in different amounts of saturation, from full color to no color

You'd just be getting into the groove of the game, used to the annoying combat and stealth and such, and then it yanks you out of it and you have to watch an end of episode cutscene, and then a new episode cutscene, just to continue on

    pdx.su Some Elixir Testing Tricks

    Testing in Elixir is pretty great. ExUnit, combined with the functional nature of Elixir, makes it very easy to test almost everything in your codebase. However, it is very easy for boilerplate to creep into your tests. Common setup patterns, similar assertions, and more can quickly make your test s

    ExUnit is wonderful, and the functional paradigms that underpin Elixir let us write extremely complex tests in a fraction of the code that would be needed in OOP testing frameworks like RSpec.

    But it's not all wine and roses. Tests can quickly accrue tons of boilerplate and repetition.

    Using some Elixir features, you can cut down on these, and make tests even nicer to write.
