I started a group with a long shot dream that some day total solar eclipses will be properly celebrated in the form of giant high tech festivals http://shadow.dance. But in addition to celebration, they are opportunities for somber reflection on history. Any arbitrary long path anywhere on earth will include historic sites that reveal depressingly dark human behavior but the Aug 21 path is remarkable in that it includes the most important historic sites for almost all the dark aspects of US history, including the Minidoka Internment Camp, Fort Laramie where the Sioux were falsely promised the Black Hills, The Trail of Tears and Sullivan’s Island (North America’s largest slaveport). (The most detailed map is on p 6 of the detailed technical proposal which is 3 clicks in – the 16 sites still sadden me when I look at them.) Readers here could be a big help for our project which was unable to get support for our 2017 ambitions but hopes to find fruition in the 2024 Mexico US Canada eclipse – contact information on the web pages.

You don't have questions. You're plainly accusing everyone of fraud, deception and cheating.

By correct you mean that Elixir solves problems differently than java, php, python, etc. and you found this more appealing over time, which may or may not be the case for someone else.

Or are you making a stronger claim that language X is better than Y, at least when it comes to web dev?

Parent comment was referring to off-topic comment about regulating prices, not the article.
Most very successful businesses are government monopolies or oligopolies, and are the result of the state continuously interfering on their behalf over a period of decades or more. Sometimes multiple times. At least here in France.

The really big companies are France Telecom/Orange, GDF/Suez, Total, BNP Paribas, Sanofi, EDF and Societe Generale, maybe Renault. All fit this pattern. None are the result of innovation, the closest would be Sanofi and Renault up until WW1.

I have not yet been to another country where it was different.
Alert: Linux Defects Can Corrupt Mirror Copies of Journal Files
There is no such thing as a free market. It's a myth.

In the absence of government regulation, companies would withhold as much information as possible from consumers, preventing those consumers from making informed decisions about which products and services to consume. There would be overwhelming information asymmetry, which would lead to sub-optimal choices. Such a market would not be free, because companies would have immense power over consumers and would undoubtedly abuse it in order to maximize profits.

Capitalism leads to the most efficient allocation of resources, but government regulation needs to exist in order to ensure the profit motive does not outweigh the need to treat consumers fairly.
I tried game development multiple times and it was the reason why I started programming in the first place, modding etc. pp.

But the huge problem for me is content.

I often end up with a nice idea and implementation, but the whole images, models, animations, sound and effects stuff bores me to death.

It feels like code is only 20% of the whole thing and the rest is basically mechanical repetition.

But that's what makes it look cool, it's like... I'm done implementing and getting all the controls right and I feel like I can't see the whole thing anymore, but then it gets nice graphics and sounds and it feels like a whole new game, haha.

Phoenix works within existing Elixir constructs like macros and modules, so it keeps a lot of the nice interfaces of Rails without the magic, how things work is pretty straightforward.

It is worth stating that the way Erlang/Elixir manage processes is completely different than most other languages and that has to be grokked at some point. Thankfully the framework abstracts a lot of that.

The Elixir and Phoenix docs are also pretty good. They're not Django-level (what is), but they're good.
With respect to your and our values, the people of the state have mandated that greenhouse gas emissions be reduced below 1990 levels by year 2020, and state law requires every city to adopt a climate action plan to that effect. Brisbane's adopted plan recognizes that transportation is the majority of the city's greenhouse gas emissions, and acknowledges that "Lack of affordability in urban core housing causes people to live far away from where they work", but does not propose fixing this problem. The only solution their climate action plan proposes is to install public electric car chargers!

When iRobot releases their commercial automatic floor cleaning robot, consider your restricted floor-plans as mapped.

There are lots of other markets I can think of off the top of my head. Don't discount what data can reveal.

You'll have a phase of disorientation where you'll be wishing you had x feature in Django and the reverse where you'll wish you had y feature in Phoenix/Elixir.

The thing I really miss from Django is the admin scaffolding. Phoenix just isn't there. In practice, you could continue to use Django as a front-end.

I moved away from Django when the recurring question of "this is neat, but how do I make it keep going no matter what?"

I'm not sure how believable this is. If the BCC chain survives, exchanges "not interacting" with the BCC chain will have great implications on the scarcity of the BCC token.

It's way more likely that they will change their policy after angry holders aren't allowed their coins. The more expensive BCC gets, the stronger the incentive for those exchanges to cave or cheat. Regardless, most exchange's hot wallet addresses are known. The second exchanges cheat, everyone will know.

This is either a political signal that they are still on team Segwit or it's a very risky bet that BCC will die, made for the purpose of saving a few bucks in administrative costs.
Yeah, two serious hangs and a crash while making an account on Windows. By the behaviour (seems to be associated with checking for username conflicts), I suspect the issue is latency while half the planet hammer their services making accounts. Needed much better stress testing.

Phoenix 1.3.0 really helps you understand that you are just making an Elixir app with some additional features. I don't think there is as much "magic" as Rails.
> Even the famous MVP is just a catchy name for market research that has gotten out of control due to the unfortunate decision of putting "product" in the acronym.

I think the general problem with MVPs and their development and usage is really that people put significant focus on the 'M' and the 'P' and very little to the 'V', which IMO is the most important letter in that acronym.
Something isn't magical if you understand the underlying concept/convention.

The bleep app description says "Bleep is a fun and easy instant messaging app that is completely private."

I find it hard to believe that without audited available source code. A quick search turned up this thread: https://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/30924-open-source/ which seems to indicate that back in 2014, it was unclear if it was going to be open source, and it was thought to be a Skype competitor. The current state of affairs seems to be text and images only, marketing it similar to Snapchat with disappearing messages and claims of privacy (but similarly no way to verify this), and it's the second hit in the iOS App Store for "bleep", having less reviews (at 8) than the top hit, "Bleep!", which is a big red button which presumably makes noise when tapped.
Given how addictive nicotine is does the free market even work? Isn't the pressure the addicts feel to get more nicotine a HUGE external force on the market that may distort it until it doesn't work?

After all cigarettes didn't become healthier once the dangers were know (long ago). The government had to step in.

> Brisbane, California is not a "small town"

Brisbane is a small town. It is dense, not sprawling. It has a town square and a handful of shops. It has schools. It is surrounded by empty space on all sides. It is in a canyon of San Bruno Mountain on three sides and surround by bay water and rail yards on the north side. You don't know what you are talking about
Did I miss something or is this restricted to "inheritance" instead of composition?

Write them off and move on. By 'write them off' I mean ignore their input into the decision-making process insofar as it is detached from observable reality; we should still attempt to mitigate the impact that climate change is likely to have upon them (in terms of agricultural production, extreme weather events, epidemiology etc.).

Some 10% of the population is avowedly irrational and that's not going to change. I view this as psychic/psychiatric distress in the face of an overwhelming existential problem (part climate, part economic) and think the best thing is to just get on with trying to alleviate the stressors and hope those people gradually come back to reality.
If Intel could get by without the enthusiast market, I feel like they would in a heartbeat.

They've been overclocking hostile for almost two decades now (to varying degrees at varying times), seemingly make no efforts towards cross-generation socket compatibility, and are now using PCIe I/O connectivity as a club to drive buyers to higher-margin chips.

Aside from the K chips and the unlocked Pentiums, I'm hard-pressed to think of anything Intel has intentionally done to cater to the enthusiast market in recent memory. And even K-chips are a token gesture in response to a problem they created.

> It's about time for electric pickup trucks.

Ford used to sell (in the 90s) an electric Ranger. It used lead acid batteries.

It wasn't a big seller, and it didn't get great range - but it did exist for a bit. Not sure why they made it, though.

/The Ford Ranger (ICE) was actually a very popular small pickup for commercial usage; tons of companies used them, especially utility companies or other companies of that nature. They tended to be very rugged little workhorses, and their size - though small - was still very capable of handling some decent sized loads.
I used to hate systemd until we adopted CoreOS at our last job, which forced me to learn it. I have evolved and now love it. Once you learn the basics, getting new services up and running with it is easy.

I really like the other parts of the systemd ecosystem, too. journald makes it easy to view the logs of any given app/service without having to hunt through directories.

I also love systemd-networkd--it's a HUGE improvement over older attempts at managing network connections. I got my start on Linux in the < 1.0 kernel days and distros back then forced you to manually configure your interfaces. This was actually really nice because it was simple and reliable. When more modern distros came along, they introduced "fancy" network management which was complicated, inflexible, and often flaky. systemd-networkd restores sanity to network interface management.

Finally, there's a great message bus that allows for API-driven interaction with various systemd components. With a good language binding, it's now pretty straightforward to tie your custom code into some of the systemd components.
My girlfriend's 2006? Subaru Legacy had thinner columns than her 2013 model. Not sure by how much, but it was very noticeable at first and I still find I sometimes miss seeing things in the new car that I never had a problem with in the old one. Maybe they are wider now for strength and side air bags. In any case, maximizing cars for crash-test-dummy preservation may not minimize for human harm due to car accidents. With automatic cars this may be not be a very big problem, but they are still a ways off, I think.

I think it is very unlikely that this would "work".

The "business judgement rule" means that boards get a huge amount of latitude in how they run their business, especially absent "disloyalty" to the business (like enriching themselves at the company's expense).

In a 2005 case (re Walt Disney Co. Derivative Litigation), the Court said "not entitled to any remedy unless the transaction constitutes waste... [that is,] the exchange was so one-sided that no business person of ordinary, sound judgment could conclude that the corporation has received adequate consideration."

Your valuation has all sorts of uncertainties. Is there actually a market for the data? Even if it is from old, proprietary sensors? How comparable are those privacy experiments to a situation in which the sensor package is literally roaming your house 24/7? Is customer interest in privacy increasing (particularly in iRobot's target demographics?) and are there sales/reputational benefits for being one of the first companies to adopt this policy first? Any one of these is enough to ruin your case.

It would have to be something really egregious, like a contract in which the data transfers to the CEO's brother-in-law, for it to be a breach of duty.

One problem with GraphQL is that there can some overlap between the results of different queries so it can be wasteful. Also access control is more difficult because a GraphQL query might reference multiple different data types which have different access control rules (a user may only be allowed to see part of the query result) - So it makes access control a lot more complicated.

This shallow article provides nothing to support its nonsense claim that NLP is "almost human-level accurate".

A "small town" ... 7 miles from the center of a major global city and metro area ... even closer to a major international airport.

Nothing weird about that situation at all. In fact it's the way much of planet is organized.

These people are assholes.

Nothing of the sort. They're long-term residents looking out for what's best for their community.

And it's exactly the kind of completely gratuitous negativity (project by outsiders, who otherwise couldn't begin to care what goes on in their town), exemplified above, which shores up this instinct that many of them have to protect what they have. Because they know that you're definitely not concerned about what impact projects like these will have on their quality of life and long-term fiscal interests.
> There might be some issues with systemd, but systemd is by far much better than anything else we had before.

Upstart was perfectly fine and just as fast. I've been moving all my personal systems over to Alpine Linux. Many others are doing the same. More complex services are being containerized and will eventually be ported to CoreOS.

PotteringOS is adding too much complexity and cruft and bugs[1] to my otherwise simple systems. Linux/Unix is supposed to be boring, simple, predictable, stable. This is not the case with SystemD in my experience.
