skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The process id is not the only way to code the sending of a message in Erlang. You also can send a message to a named group if I remember right. Also, if you are using a supervisor tree (and for anything non-trivial you should), then the supervisor retains the process id. If that was not enough, as part of the Erlang runtime there is a process that handles binding and naming lookups, and it has the process id. Really don't see how this could happen.

I consider bullet 2 to be a feature of Erlang, not a bug. If a module implements a behavior you know it implements those functions, there's no checking needed. Yes, it increases your attack surface, but outside apps should not be messaging Erlang processes directly.

Bullet 3 seems like sugar. You can wrap the call in your own code that specifies a default timeout.

I'm not saying your concepts are wrong, they are interesting and a more complete/accurate Actor model implementation in Erlang could be a good thing. However, the points you specifically made about Erlang do not seem to me to be needed adds to the language.
> You can’t stop people form using encryption.

This is repeated often but that doesn't make it any truer. Legislation can make people use ineffective encryption, or prevent the use of it. Remember when SSL certificates had 48 bits effective key length? It was legislation that caused this. People used bad encryption because of the legislation. Remember when PGP was the only end-to-end messaging scheme widely available? Only very few people used it. Its reach was hampered by legislation. (In part; let's not forget bad usability.)

Most people are unaware how the services they use are protecting them from eavesdropping. Sure some are careful and research the failure modes in the security of their communications. And some would go to any length to keep their communications encrypted. But the less mainstream it is, the easier it is for them to fuck it up. Suppose due to legislation no apps in the Google Play store can do reliable end-to-end: Suddenly you have these "privacy conscious" people downloading an App binary from some random site because they heard it was "good". Yeah right we know how that story goes.

By all means, argue that ubiquitous encryption increases security for all of us. And I'm your friend. But don't go claiming that compromising mainstream encryption wouldn't hamper security for the bad guys. Because it absolutely would. Like for the rest of us!

Could you imagine a layer that compiles down to actors? If that it too much of a stretch maybe something that can lint the protocol flows between actors.

Build Your Startup for Less
Hi there, as a founder of bootstrapping startup, for every tool we used, I'd write to the founder or someone in C-level and ask for a discount ( StartupSchool deals helped as well, thanks! :) ). They all made it, so most of them agreed to support a fellow founder at the beginning of the startup journey.

This year, however, our team contacted SaaS & software founders across our network and put together a list of over 30 software deals so bootstrapped founders can build faster and cheaper. Here it is, big names and some cheaper alternatives: https://www.vouchery.io/post/the-hottest-black-friday-and-cyber-monday-software-saas-deals-coming-up-in-2019

PS. Know a deal or would like to promote yours? PM, happy to add it to the list ( all free, we don't earn any commission from deals).

Cheers, Ewelina, Vouchery.io

SSPL was a direct response to perceived loopholes and inadequacies in AGPL. I’ve written about that here: https://writing.kemitchell.com/2018/11/04/Copyleft-Bust-Up.h...

Most people never get that far, because they write the license off as an attack on principles. The debate about the substance didn’t really get to happen.

As for public performance, I’m not aware of any case law to suggest that the public performance right applies to software as you suggest. And I’ve never seen FSF or independent legal counsel argue that GPLv3 and AGPLv3 are functionally equivalent due to background law.

The FSF theorists I’ve read describe AGPL as “synthesizing” a public performance right for software that doesn’t otherwise exist under current copyright law. They do so out of two existing exclusive rights: the right to prepare derivative works (making changes or building larger programs) and the right to reproduce in copies (incidental to use).

because XMPP standard supports nickname changing, which means in a context of a platform it would allow nickname spoofing

Nicknames can be registered against a MUC so that other users can't use them.
See here: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#register

This has been part of the MUC standard for years and there are XMPP servers which support this, so you don't need to fork.

I never understood why AMD did not push that angle more, it is an act that would be very hard to follow by Intel unless they bought NVidia or something extreme like that.

It also would allow AMD to potentially gain an edge over NVidia in the GPGPU space. Missed opportunity imo, it still seems like an excellent idea.

Talking to my IT department, it seems the argument is that storage is only cheap in isolation. In the real world it aggregates across products, users and hierarchies.

Example email:

- I want bigger mailbox to handle bigger mails incoming and outgoing. Result: bigger mailbox.

- Then everyone else in the company gets bigger mailboxes. Result: bigger mailbox x1000.

- Also: bigger mail-server backups.

- Also: bigger desktop/user-profile backups, because Outlook duplicates all this info locally.

- Also: bigger storage needs for anything also interacting/duplication selected mail (like CRM, import services, whatever).

- Also: bigger backups needed for all those systems.

- Etc etc.

And IMO it's a perfectly valid claim.

Maybe storage "only" costs $0.1 per 100GB in isolation (or whatever), but for a full company with all systems involved, in aggregate it quickly it may exceed 1000x that.

> bachelor’s degrees from private colleges, on average, have higher ROI than degrees from public colleges 40 years after enrollment

That's a f... up conclusion if there's one. Let's look at it another way: in those private colleges, you'll likely find more students whose parents are rich than in public colleges. Guess what? After 40 years, there's a higher chance they will find themselves higher in the food chain than students from poorer families.

The only conclusion is the renewal of the capital gap generation after generation.

> I actually don't think SaaS is a good way to sell services. It's rent seeking.

Big yikes. That is a really intriguing idea.

Rent-seeking to me means that the seeker has exclusive control over some asset that they did not themselves create, and uses that to extract rent from people who want access to it.

Amazon selling free software SaaS doesn't seem like rent-seeking, because Amazon don't have exclusive control over anything. They just offer better value than their competitors, for various reasons.

MongoDB selling SSPL'd SaaS doesn't seem like rent-seeking, because they invested in creating the software, and they aren't stopping anyone else from selling it as SaaS either, just requiring them to do so on a sort of level playing field.

Even Oracle selling proprietary SaaS doesn't seem like rent-seeking, because they invested in creating the software.

Movim doesn't use Converse. It's an older project than Converse.

> Converse is not a full featured client on its own

I guess that depends on your definition of "full featured", but it has more features than a lot of other clients.

Most XMPP servers support BOSH and websocket directly and since direct TLS connections aren't possible in the browser Converse uses those.

If the XMPP server admin doesn't enable BOSH or websocket, that's not really Converse's fault :)
Found this on a uni’s confession page (r/HongKong)
Given that 10+ year old boards are still perfectly serviceable for many applications and are still in widespread use all over the globe they may be End Of Life for Intel but that does not mean they are magically and suddenly all gone. The degree to which Intel stuff has proven to be insecure over the last couple of years would warrant at least some consideration for people who are still running that older hardware, especially if it does not cost Intel much to keep that hardware supported.
Yes, cytotoxicity is the ability to destroy cells. Most CD4 T cells are not cytotoxic, regardless of the host's age. In the Supercentenarians studied here, it was observed that the majority of their CD4 T cells were cytotoxic, which is a very surprising result.

Having more cytotoxic CD4 T's could give the immune system better ability to destroy invaders or cancer cells.

Even more surprising is that a large percentage of these mutant CD4 T's are clonal, all traceable back to one individual (T cell) that mutated.

It's been shown that supercentenarians enjoy resistance to disease over their entire lives. This research shows that may be due to their unique immune systems.

ConverseJS mostly focuses on Chat, Movim is also doing social features (checkout the website for more info https://movim.eu/) such as publications, comments, sharing…

There's also video-conferencing support. But the biggest difference is that Movim is a "light-client", most of the work is done server side, the browser is just showing the result, you can reload the page, close the tab and come back 1h after the session will stay open.

I read in another comment that you are still in high school, so maybe the above is because you do not have actual driving experience. But this is not how human drivers drive.

Human drivers brake before the curves, while usually accelerate during curves. This improves stability.

Bowers & Wilkins PX are a solid alternative to Bose/Sony and similar price range.

If you want to listen to silence or audiobooks then the others have a stronger cancelling effect and will probably suit better. But if you enjoy listening to music I found the PX is more subtle, with 'just enough' NC that it does not compromise on sound quality but still removes annoying environment noise.

I have flown with them a few times now as well as the QC35 and prefer the PX. The build feels better (a little heavier) and has the same nice features like fold flat and removable cups. I think they will hold up well with travel abuse.

Cultural identity and pride in one's lingual heritage play a part too. As a Dutchman, I like the German ß. Nothing conveys the notion of a foreign country better than another language and a differing orthography.

The ß even has a proper capital these days: ẞ. While no word ever begins with ẞ, you do need it when capitalising a whole word — e.g., on a sign.

What is the difference between parsing and deserializing? With both you have a string representation of a data structure that you read and bring into the native form. Do you call it parsing if the grammar is more complicated?
Yeah it resembles a thought disorder with verbosity. If you told me it was generated by a Markov Chain as a prank I would believe you. Combined with shallow "namecheck" references everywhere with nary an explanation of /how/ they are connected. There is a fundamental cluelessness and shallowness to it all made more apparent by the papering over with the flesh of a few sacrifical thesauruses.
Because of the effort involved. At least for me, learning how to read in a foreign language is far far easier than learning how to understand the spoken language and learning how to produce the spoken and written forms of the language.

So, I can either learn how to read, hear, speak, and write a a single language or I can expend the same effort and learn to read many languages. For me, the later is much more appealing. But then, I'm a voracious reader and too introverted to be interested in talking or writing to actual living people.
