I used a similar api-based approach to have Electron host C# and Python backends[0][1]. The main difference I think is that I went with GraphQL for the api layer instead of Electron's ipc mechanism, including random port selection and a simple bit of security handshaking to prevent malicious sites from just hitting an exposed port (the goal being to strike a balance between showing that security matters and not over-complicating what is intended to be a simple boilerplate example).

Facebook Meets Slack
I created a group communication app. It's a more social version of slack, and easier for large (social) groups. I originally packaged it for parenting groups, but thinking of moving to groups generally. Do you think there is a market for this? It's called ellie.
I'm definitely interested especially if there will be DevOps topics covered in the future.
It's used widely in defense, much less in private industry. The exception is if you write Oracle PL/SQL - that resembles ADA.
Also, check LibreSilicon [1], a free and open source semiconductor manufacturing process, currently in development. The target is 1 μm, but the developers said 0.5 μm should be possible. Here's a comprehensive introductory talk [2]. And as usual, the project is on GitHub [3]. If things went well, they said they planned to manufacture an open source RISC-V microcontroller, pin-compatible with Atmel AVR ATTiny.

> For instance, we have the entire connectome of c. elegans mapped out... So, in one sense, we are at that level.

Well, whatever "intelligence" C elegans has, I think everyone would agree that it's far from insect-level; it's microsocopic-nematode-level. But I am not sure a simulation of C elgans rises to the level of "artificial". As you note, we don't understand it yet. But we may have already built systems that are more "intelligent" (whatever that means) than C elegans, and we may have done that decades ago.

> From what we currently understand, as I currently understand it, we have yet to find such a mechanism that would allow for it.

True, but our path to artificial intelligence may not end up going through neural networks at all. We've not achieved flight by mimicking biological flight. I'm not saying it won't, either, but we cannot say for sure that it will. We really don't know.
Urban Warfare Reading List
The idea is that engaging with the material (i.e. breaking it down, summarizing it and putting it on paper) helps with retention compared to just taking it in and trying to understand it in your head. I can tell you don't believe in that, but that's what the argument is.

>You seem to conflate taking no notes with not listening. If the only point of the note-taking is to ensure the listening and mental engagement, then I doubt that's the most effective way.

I honestly can't see how you get this from my comment.

Please show me a citation of where is says concretely that Visa/Uber/etc have handed $10M to this project. The Libra project so far is just wishful thinking about things that maybe, might possibly happen sometime.

nimx and a bunch of others. At that time I didn't know what framework I'd want, only the requirements: Cross-platform, preferably native controls, internal and desktop drag&drop, extended clipboard support, rich text editor fields with possibilities of custom ranges, styles, and serialization, listboxes/grids with images and embedded controls.

I later decided on GTK3, not sure if it's the right idea in the long run. Nim's GTK3 bindings state:

It's not just "seconds wasted in compiling". It's having my IDE say "thinking..." for 3-10 seconds every time I want to see what type something is. Or having create-react-app load for 5-15 seconds, every time I save any file before letting my browser update (even if I press refresh manually), because it's compiling. And when this happens on a minute-by-minute basis, it drastically slows down development time.
I have visited quite a few countries in Europe, but never found one where ATM fees are de rigueur. Actually in all my travels ever in the entire world, it was only the USA where I really couldn’t find a fee-free ATM no matter how hard I looked.

Ironically, the only European country where I ever even see some ATMs with fees, at all, is the UK.

Monzo has no surcharge over the network fee for foreign currency transactions, so it’s quite good. However, it’s a debit card, and credit cards still win for reliability when renting cars or buying airplane tickets.

When it comes to virtual cards: it’s a matter of taste. Personally I don’t care a single iota if my card gets defrauded; issue a chargeback, get a new one, done. Not worth giving up for the convenience of auto fill of C.C. in the browser.
Might not be enough: what if this institution fails? It would be even better if governments could ensure deposits in such an entity (up to $100k worth or so might be sufficient) to stabilize the Libre economy in the worst-case scenario.

It always saddens me of how goverments deal with consumer injustice.

Time and time again an issue is left to fester until it becomes fiscally or pr fashionable to do something about it. Then they end up cashing in with a big fine upon the company involved. Goverment gets a nice payout, consumers who have been shafted for years - just end up paying for the shafting and then in many cases, indirectly end up paying for the fine.

I'm certainly a bit of a cynic in my age, but I does kinda feel like governments use consumer abuse as a revenue stream thru fines.

The only consumer alternative to get financial justice always falls down to class actions/private cases more than not and in process's that takes forever.

Frankly I fail to understand why their is no consumer protection as any price increase of over X% in any field should always be investigated. More so the entire drugs industry. Even if that trigger was 100% in a period of a year, it would be a start in preventing such abuse. Which it is blatantly more than not.

It's as if such companies are aware of what they are doing, not even illegal drug dealers push their prices up that much upon a captive market. That certainly puts some perspective upon such activities in the legal drug industry.
Mid Life Cricket Crisis – Reflections of a South African Cricket Fan
I was thinking the same thing. Either the product managers or the PR people are tone deaf (or why not both?).

I once saw a PR person talk about how you had to earn your way to allow yourself to be part of certain larger societal conversations. Start at grass roots, earn trust there, step up to communities, earn trust there, step up to local governments etc etc. Being big doesn't earn you anything out the gate. I liked this idea. However charitably you think about Facebook, I don't think you could possibly surmise that Facebook has earned its way to the conversation of its stated aims of helping people who can't get credit cards use digital currency.

I think Libra would have been marketed much better if it had been a separate company with FB taking a 51% controlling stake, and these other validators making up the rest.
I like the idea of it scaling up to full simulation. I'd love for the game to teach you to fly and go through the steps of proper radio protocol, vocabulary and so on. It loooks like they might be leveraging their cloud computing to do things like map simulation and perhaps even air traffic control(!) so I'm actually pretty excited about this.

I had a high school teacher who described what he called a failsafe study method: (1) Take copious notes during lectures, save them in a binder. (2) Every weekday (5 days/week) during the term, read through all class notes from beginning to end. (3) Assuming you've done the above, you won't have to study for a test. But this would only work for memorization-heavy material where all the content is presented during lectures and you're able to write down the contents.

On the other hand, I once had a physics professor in college who spent each lecture rigorously proving the theorems and formulas we'd be using in the homework/tests. Only about 5 minutes (at the beginning) were dedicated to solving problems like what we'd be tested on, and then only in response to specific questions from students. We were pretty much on our own, since most were commuter students (this was Cal Poly Pomona) and couldn't easily come to office hours.
Also, as a user, I expect the UI of my apps to be somewhat inconsistent. If the app is perfectly consistent with the native guidelines, then that's a small plus. But any slightly inconsistent behavior can be quickly learned, and I don't consider it a big deal (again, as a user).

Of course, if every app out there was perfectly consistent, then perhaps it would be a different story.

I don’t think anyone really knows if other people experience anything that is similar. I go back and forth on that a lot.

But in terms of medicalizing things, who cares if it’s normal. It’s not about being normal, it’s about being better. I get prescribed a lot more medication than I need. I don’t take it often, but I like the options having anti-depressants, sleeping pills, stimulants, and anti-anxiety medication provide. Wirh it I have the ability to easily control my mental and physical state depending on I want to feel and what is required of me.

Do I need to crush code for 48 hours? No problem. Sleeping on a plane, no problem. Etc etc.

Not saying this would work for everyone, and if I took the time, maybe I could use meditation or whatever to achieve the same results. But I’m busy and have things to do, I suppose.

Never having to??

I can understand "never being able to" being a flaw. But if I can get my stuff done without talking to someone then that is brilliant. I don't have to go out of my way to go somewhere, I don't have to bother with a bad phone reception, I don't have to wait in a line for it to be my turn. I just do the things I need to do when it is convenient for me.

> This is rich, coming from someone who claimed that anyone who wants a type system in elixir hasn't actually used elixir.

You may want to read my original post more carefully. I said most people who complain about the lack of static typing haven't actually used it. Obviously there are some, like you, who have experience with the language and dislike the lack of static typing. And that is fine.

I mean, you only need to casually browse HN threads about new languages to find posts along the lines of "this looks interesting, but the lack of static typing means I probably won't use it." Instead of taking a holistic view of the language and its merits and researching its design choices and trade-offs, they adopt a dogmatic mindset and dismiss it outright.

>>This is the most common reaction within the elixir community, to assume that anyone who doesn't put the language on a pedestal dislikes it or hates it.

No, that's just me, and it was a figure of speech. Elixir community is very mature and welcoming, and most people in it come from other languages, and are able to objectively discuss the language, its merits and shortcomings. The post I linked in my OP is a great example.

>>Elixir is useful for shuffling data from point A to point B... That usefulness has its limits, that's it.

I mean, again, that's just your opinion, and it's a simplistic one. I obviously don't know the depth and breadth of your experience (and won't make assumptions about it, like you did about mine), but Elixir is useful for, and excels at, more things than simply "shuffling data". That is why there is so much excitement for it: the use cases it enables, and the elegance and simplicity with which it enables them, are nearly unparalleled. The lack of static typing does not change this fact, even if it can make certain things a bit more cumbersome towards the extreme end of the project size and complexity spectrum.

>> The framework authors refuse to ship a first party implementation and instead leave it to the community

Maybe for AuthN, but AuthZ is pretty far from the business of a web framework. The framework authors seem, for the most part, to be avoiding first-party endorsement of secondary tooling that doesn't deeply benefit from being first-party. I find it super refreshing coming from Rails where it is either the golden path or good luck.

A lot of the early AuthN libraries seem to target the controller layer, but I've found, having worked on a couple of sizeable Phoenix production codebases, that AuthN at the app domain layer works better. Regular use of channels as an alternate entrypoint to web request controllers means that controller based helper libraries are less valuable. Once you push this logic inside the app domain, it really isn't the business of Phoenix to know or care about it, since you're just working in plain Elixir, probably with some sort of Ecto struct to represent identity.
I have the greatest problem with this in early childhood. The extent of psychiatric involvement in the classroom, including drug interventions, is really alarming.

I use pass[0], which is essentially just a wrapper on top of Git and GPG. All your secrets are stored in text files that are then encrypted by your GPG key, which is then tracked in a Git repo that you can store anywhere. I use the PassFF extension[1] for Firefox, and Password Store for Android[2]. There are plenty of pass-compatible clients for all platforms and extensions for pass on the first site.

If I need to get my password for eg. GitHub outside of Firefox, I just type `$ pass -c dev/github`, decrypt, and it's in my clipboard for 45 seconds.

All designs break at some point. There is no such thing as hurricane proof. In this case the sub-surface safety valves designed to prevent oil spillage, failed. To take another industry, there are design risks when it comes to seatbelts, brakes, crumple zones, tires, fuel lines, etc, etc. Better designs for each of these safety features already exist. You can't simply wave a magic wand and ban cars with older designs. We have been making progress on all fronts when it comes to safety. I have family who has worked on oil rigs, and what we have now is a hell of a lot better than the rickety explosion-prone rigs from 60-odd years ago.

>We're letting companies profit off of the environment without being responsible for cleaning up after themselves when shit goes sideways.

That is just a hyperbole and is not grounded in reality. Ironically, in this case, the company lost the oil, lost the 'money', wasn't able to profit, and went out of business. Looks like you got what you wanted. :)

Why is there no exact pricing regulation for such widely needed drugs?

Capitalistic models don't work for everything, it certainly does not benefit this type of drug in an oligopoly... there is no competition and there is no need for it, the research is ancient history. Price fixing is not the problem, it's an inevitability, which is why the government should do it for them:

1. Regulate exact price, zero flexibility.

2. Require production of specific drugs as requirement for access to _any_ government research grants. Alternately to avoid production issues entirely: production is simply the cost of _being_ a pharmaceutical company selling any drugs to your country.

3. Meet demands through responsibility proportional to net profit. Make more money? great, but it has to benefit availability of basic drugs.
