The problem with that approach is that imagine if Phoenix had a Phoenix.Security.sign_in function. How do you want to sign in?

With a cookie?

With a server-side session?

With a database session?

With an authentication token GET params?

With an authentication token in the header?

You make the choices for your specific use case and implement them using laser-focused, great packages. One system I built authenticates with an `authenticationToken` GET params, I look for that in a Plug, then assign the current_user to the conn object.

For non-api requests, I use plain old sessions.
As an American I'm going to go out on a limb and say a big part of this is: Americans in particular are absolutely insulated from mass death. Why wouldn't we be? We've never fought major wars on our own soil in over a century. We haven't had major disease outbreaks killing mass people in like 100 years. We cannot comprehend it; the idea that mass amounts of people die (1,000,000 iraqis, 100,000s of people in warzones like Syria) in relatively short time spans is impossible for us to comprehend.

This is the same reason why after 9/11, where a few thousand people died, people all over the country were literally having shared hysteria -- to the point of microwaving mail envelopes (Anthrax attacks!) or buying duct tape and plastic wrap to seal windows (Gas attacks!) They told kids in school about this shit and to prepare for it. It was hysteria, it was not isolated.

I think most people willingly choose to believe it doesn't happen at all. A few bombings here and tactical strikes there, twice (or ten) times a day, in a war for 15 years. "Not that bad".

Meanwhile we sit around and dream up AI scenarios where they're either A) Sci-Fi novel hellmachines who are bent on total domination of reality unless we "Fight the Machines" or B) useful, peaceful Roombas and car services that run us around and do all our chores and can never do any wrong. Look, my car can get my groceries for me! How fantastic is that! (provided your grocery store was not blown up by a Hellfire missile last week, of course)

The third possibility, C, that hostile, unrefined AI will be used to continue to enforce colonial and imperial desires around the world, killing huge amounts of people? Not possible. It's not fanciful or fantastic enough to want to believe, so people don't. It's not a Steven King novel or an Elon Musk jerk-off fantasy. It's just boring old poor people dying.

You only need to watch any discussion on Hacker News about "The threat of AI" to see how quickly people start talking about self-imposed God-machines, or talking about Ultra Roombas that do all your earthly chores -- while ignoring murder-robots in 3rd world countries, manned by massive armies. One of those is a fantasy dreamt up by 10 year olds, the other is a reality that already happens today with drone warfare.
MarkDoom: How I Hacked Every Major IDE in 2 Weeks. By: Matt Austin‏
I wouldn't say I like things over C#/.NET (I love C# and use it for mobile/desktop devel, but I've never used it for web).. but I'll list some things I like about Elixir:

Erlang's concurrency model is amazing. It's like having micro-microservices running inside your virtual machine. And you can distribute across nodes. Nothing else really has this kind of thing.

Pattern matching is beautiful and it's easy to use. Other languages have this too, so it's not like this is unique. This is one of my favorite things though; you can destructure things, you can pattern match inside a function using case, and you can pattern match on functions themselves like:

def say("Hi"), do: IO.puts("Hello")
def say("Bye"), do: IO.puts("Goodbye")
def say(_msg), do: IO.puts("Where am I?")

That's basically the equivalent of having a single say() function that then does a switch/case on the input.

And a more recent addition to the language is "with". This is fantastic, it's one of my favorite things now. Usually you might have code that sets a variable from something, checks to make sure it's valid, sets another variable, checks to make sure it's valid, etc, etc... until finally you're function is ready to actually perform its purpose. Any of those checks might cause it to exit early or to switch paths. So Elixir has this "with" feature that looks sort of like this:

def create(conn, %{"id" => group_id, "friend_id" => friend_id}) do
with {:ok, user} <- current_user(conn, groups: [memberships: [:user, :group]]),
{:ok, group} <- Groups.fetch_for_user(user, group_id),
{:ok, friend} <- Friendship.fetch_friend(user, friend_id),
{:ok, member} <- Groups.add_member(group, friend)
do
render(conn, "success.json", msg: msg)
else
{:error, msg} ->
conn
|> put_status(:unprocessable_entity)
|> render("failure.json", msg: msg)
end
end

I love this feature. It makes code so much more readable and maintainable in my opinion.
Just me personally, I probably wouldn't do it in anything else... Not that there aren't some other good options out there depending on your background. I just prefer Elixir, I know it scales in both maintenance and performance (the former being the more difficult goal in my mind) I think the market is growing such that finding engineers who a) have experience, or b) want experience with it, won't be a real problem. I can tackle software and hardware problems alike, there are good options for integrating native code when performance counts, and in general I consider it to be the safest option available to me.
There's long been talk of having web-portable, cryptographically secure endorsements for things you want to prove about your identity: that you've over 18, that you hold a valid driver's license, etc, but they've never gotten off the ground. Basically, same as CAs, except for validating that "this identity has that attribute".

This would be another use case.

Edit: if you meant proving you own enough ETH tokens, rather than USD, that's a lot easier and (I assume) possible now.
So because the process has flaws (like all processes), we should all just take a breather and tidy that all up to be rock solid before we move forward with anything? The earth would literally grind to a halt if we applied that reasoning to everything.

The system will never be perfect, if you take take a small number of instances of academic dishonesty and use that to debase something as enormous and researched as climate science, how could we ever hope to make decisions about anything?

If you applied this type of thinking to everything else how could you make any decision at all?

"its" ? I'm not sure what the "its" in your first sentence refers to.

I am not an expert, I've played a part in no more than 10 companies being sold or purchased. In all the cases that I participated it the process involved creating a 'third' company that was essentially wholly owned by the acquiring company, and then that third company 'bought' some or all of the assets (physical or intellectual) of the company being bought. And then the purchased company was typically dissolved after a period of time that would allow for things like contracts or other actions to transpire while the entity existed. At a future point the intermediary company gets absorbed into its parent with a full transfer of all assets and that triggers its own dissolution clause.

The bylaws have always been the controlling documents for who could approve the sale, and how that process would complete. California adds a 'fairness' hearing sometimes[1] which I was told provides some protection against future lawsuits.

Bottom line a company is its employees, contracts, customers, physical property, intellectual property, cash accounts, and financial obligations. The entity or body authorized to sell the company can sell any or all of those pieces.

This is just 100% speculation, as I have no idea what Jobs or Bezos or Gates or anyone else really think. But it seems to be in their long term interest to have a fair, balanced political system and liberal society as we have now in the US. If you look at wealth creation and accumulation throughout history, its been accumulated by less than honorable means. And I'm not talking about Gates screwing over Jobs with Windows: I'm talking actual killing and grabbing of wealth, invasion or outright seizure of assets. I have a feeling that the smart rich people understand this and want to preserve a somewhat fair and balanced society.

This is why it completely baffles me as to why the Koch brothers are so hell bent on destroying our democracy. And the only plausible reason seems to be: they're not really well educated, or smart enough, to understand the impact that their short term thinking will have on the American system. Since they inherited most of their wealth, they've never really lived without wealth, I'm guessing they can't relate to people without it.
What does it even mean to respond to the criticism of how the tech industry treats black people to say "the high school system is failing them"? Aren't you describing, and excusing in yourself, the essence of prejudice? Individual black people who are being mistreated in our industry are not stand-ins for whatever phenomenon of all black life in America we happen to believe in.
There is something to be said for this, because:

* Technology is making it easier for direct sellers to be found (Google shopping etc)

* Its constantly getting cheaper to have an online web store for direct sales.

* There are already online stores which I prefer over Amazon due to free shipping and faster delivery (outside U.S.)
Moved to Chciago about 10 years ago in small part to escape the summer sweat in NC. The first few winters were seemed brutal, and the summers pleasant. Past few years have changed: hot summers and mild winters.

It's almost downright pleasant during the past several winter seasons. My snow shovel hasn't been getting much use and was wondering if it was all in my imagination.
> This is against the Sherman act today.

There's no such thing as what you're claiming. Whether their actions are in violation of anti-trust law is overwhelmingly a subjective finding that can't be determined ahead of time in the manner you're claiming. It's a subjective decision reached through a long, typically drawn-out government process, involving trial/s, judges, DOJ prosecutors, witnesses, etc.
We reserved an RV back in October with the intent of seeing the eclipse somewhere in your neck of the woods.

We're picking it up a full 3 days ahead of time. We're going to overnight around Shasta, and arrive almost two full days before the eclipse. We will be 100% self sufficient in the RV. That's the plan at least. (:

Here are some questions: how appropriate is it for us to park in 'some random place' for a couple of days somewhere up there?

Would you recommend being more 'east' or 'west' along the line of totality?

Do you mind me peppering you with a lot of other questions? (:

There's a reason your age is the biggest factor in your car insurance premium.

Making it statistically less likely for a car full of drunk teenagers to go off a cliff on their way to prom affects road fatality statistics the same way decreases in infant mortality increases life expectancy.

The primary reduction in traffic fatalities is due to keeping "undesirable people" off the roads, increases in vehicle performance (modern cars can stop on and turn a relative dime compared to cars from decades ago)that turn many accidents into close calls.

Chasing safety is a lot like fuel economy. It's a steady march of small improvements all of which are compromises. I and many other people don't want to be injured in a likely accident scenario for a small reduction in the likelihood of death in an unlikely accident scenario. I also don't want the spare tire of my SUV under the trunk floor where I can't access it without removing cargo just to get .01 extra mpg.
That's is a very disingenuous response. I know most people have been conditioned to hate smokers over the last 20 years, but don't by obtuse about it.
Yeah I think that's true, but doesn't have much to do with what the grandparent was complaining about, which is that he/she think the FSF focuses too much on software freedom. Imo what you talk about is true of any software made by technical people who are mostly making it for themselves in their free time, and is seen regardless of the devs' opinion on software licensing. You find it in GNU software, in BSD software, and even in the Windows shareware/freeware scene. More or less, stuff made by power users for power users.

Find it misleading that almost all of the recent articles on this subject talk about decriminalization as the cause for the drop in drug related health issues.

They shifted a significant chunk of money to health services. If it proves anything, it is only that health services can reduce drug related health issues. Without a control, there is nothing to point to regarding criminalization vs decriminalization. People are now paid to go out to drug dens and offer medical help. You can't simply say "people were scared to get help before" when instead you start sending help straight to their location.

Even when an article mentions the change in spending/focus, it is framed in the context of legalizing drugs. No one is making articles titled "After years of improving health services, Portugal's drug policy paid off".

I get that some folks want to legalize drugs, but make an argument for it that doesn't involve this twisting of results to match the desired outcome.
The problem is that people at level 1 are currency for the people who disagree at level 5. High-level partisans on both sides rely on propaganda and rhetoric to sway the lowest common denominator for support. Most of those people are not making up their minds about what to believe based on the scientific validity of the evidence. They're simply going with their gut.
My company actually has and uses Zipkin. The thing that I'm looking for that I think is lacking is a way to identify critical paths without manually clicking through a bunch of traces and eyeballing them.

Google "HANS device". That's a restraint.
How does this even warrant an article?
I think we need a programming language for everything not an operating system. Certain language primitives should be connected devices themselves.

Only because a language is more efficient then just another set of SDKs and libraries being cobbled together to access the nearest HomePod for instance.

I assume Apple's HealthKit is in line with the operating system of IoT, as I would assume most connected things would be read-only, and we'd only be reading things like battery life, air quality, lock status, speed, etc from devices. I wouldn't want to be able to for instance turn on the turn signal for my car by accident running some script I wrote.
The main difference is that the Nanobox PaaS is portable, making it what's been termed a "micro-PaaS". You can host with whatever cloud provider (AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Google Cloud) you want or set it up on-premise.

Businesses who want to (or have to for compliance reasons) use a different host (e.g. Vultr in Europe or Alibaba Cloud in Asia) can simply create their own adapters and deploy away: https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/create/

Well, when back over accidents became more common because the safety arms race gave vehicles rear visibility only slightly better than a Panzer the government mandated backup cameras.

I don't think you can separate the core mechanic from the lag. If it's a multiplayer game where the internet is the medium of communication, then any gameplay mechanic has to be tolerant of the lag. If it isn't, you don't have a game.

Dealing with the lag is part of the MVP, not polish.

> Everything today in "science" is just based off of pretty charts and cartoon graphics. That's their "proof".

I would say the pretty charts and "cartoon graphics" are in direct response to people not actually examining the numbers, and discounting the way it's expressed/reported in the media. To be fair, getting to what a paper is really saying in a media announcement is sometimes an exercise in dissecting the Pr to do away with the hyperbole, but these graphics are actually a way to combat that. As long as they are built using the core data, it's another way to express what's going on, and hopefully in a way that captures people's attention better than the headlines they are already dubious of do.

Let's turn the premise around. Assuming the conclusions are correct and summers are getting hotter, how would you communicate that to someone like you who is rejecting that based on their personal experience, and has (presumably) already discounted the headline, the graphics meant to convey the same idea, and the underlying data they are presented from (whether through actual distrust of the data or distrust of the summarization to the point of not bothering to check it). If it's true, and we have data to show it, how should it be presented?

> But I think you missed my point. I've seen people bond over this kind of behavior, but never seen someone hurt buy it.

How would you know? Are you confident everyone around you would be comfortable telling you that your behavior hurt them?

> My comment was "It's not the same as sexism, but there are often jokes and discussions that mock my deeply held religious beliefs".

Hey. I wanna draw a line here as well. These conversations are ALSO not work appropriate, in the same sense that it is not appropriate for a Christian to suggest gay people don't deserve equal rights.

Those topics are best left out of the workplace.

> I'm not saying she should shut up and be okay with this. I'm saying everyone is in control of their own emotions.

This is false, according to the science. What's more, keeping a tight reign on one's behavior comes at a mental cost, and that energy could be better spent elsewhere.

> You can limit the amount of influence you allow others to have over your emotions.

Please consider updating your information here. This is victorian era stuff.

> I also find the accusation of gaslighting unfair. This is a form of systematic psychological manipulation

I think you're complicit in gaslighting. You're suggesting we have more empathy for the people causing pain because they just don't know. You deflect talk of gender harassment by re-centering the conversation on religious beliefs. Then you STILL rebutt her feelings by saying SHE specifically should be in more control.

Yes, it's a pretty big deal. But I think maybe yours is the more honest sort of gaslighting, where you're conditioned to accept this behavior. I suspect if you critically examine it more you'll realize that the cons of allowing it far outweigh the pros.
I've always been intrigued by Phoenix/Elixir but I was worried it may just be a fad. Seems like it's had solid growth over the last couple years though, so I may end up diving into it over the weekend.
The attitude expressed in the article, of assuming one group of adults has a right to create laws restricting what is offered in the marketplace to other groups of adults, to protect the latter from their own naivety and bad judgement, is incredibly paternalistic. It exudes a superiority complex and disdain for the personal autonomy of presumed lesser men and women.

I am not taking such a "visionary" seriously unless he manages to ship the one consumer-level product he promised.

They're smart enough. They have the same idea of how force has been used to extract wealth over the ages, but see that force personified as an unchecked government with a monopoly on violence. They see their libertarian philosophy, at it's root, at protecting society and freedom of business from the power of statism. You may or may not agree, but that is how I'd expect them to roughly frame what they believe.
TL;DR: People retire, make sure they document what they know in any medium. Also make sure new hires go through the documentation.

Seems like common sense.
False. It is not a matter of a disagreement, it is one of fact. Companies like Amazon have nonzero stock price while paying no dividends only because there is a market expectation that eventually a company in the future will pay dividends to shareholders.

Also, you are begging the question compared to your remark about how ICOs and stocks are similar in your top level post.
