I'm afraid the reality is that finding a laptop without at least some of the memory soldered on is increasingly difficult. Some T series Thinkpads prior to 2019 did but that ship has sailed and there were no AMD T series Thinkpads prior to May of 2019. So installing a matched set is not an option in the T495.

One of the great things about the T series of Thinkpads is that access to replace memory and storage is quick and easy unlike many modern laptops. Another advantage is that they are heavily documented and have a vibrant community around them. This means determining the memory specs needed to match the soldered-on memory is a rather trivial exercise. If any one is looking to purchase a T495 matching the soldered-on memory means using a PC4-19200 CL17 unbuffered non-ECC sodimm. You should be able to find a good brand module for about 1/5th of what Lenovo wants to factory install the additional memory.
That and DateTime sorting using the module api. That’s much nicer! One of the few "oh what the..." bugs I’ve had in Elixir was not realizing that sort defaults to structural sorting. Also it helped make sense why all the Erlang datetime primitives are tules that’s structurally sort correctly.
"Identifying" drones. This is not about a technology that rhymes with "Eye Ding Drones."

Sounds like the Google workflow.
I understand how that could be a problem. However it never was with the countless DSLs I saw in Ruby. The trick is never write one. Only use the ones of widely popular projects.

I never wrote a macro in Elixir (only for experimenting with them), nobody ever did in the projects I worked on and I'm perfectly happy with that. On the other side everybody uses macros, mainly with/do/else. I wish they implemented it as keywords of the language. They could probably have spared us the annoyance of converting code from = to <- and comma everytime it is moved inside a with and viceversa. That's the part of the syntax that I like less.
Toxic masculinity means everything that is wrong with the image of a man in society.

Men, women and children all participate in society. Thus, the problem affects everyone.

It is the same reason that feminism is not solely about women. It is about changing societal perceptions of women in ways that ends up affecting everyone participating in society. Men, women and children alike.
After all, we can teach them about our calendar, but how do we describe+transmit when our calendar began in a way they can measure against in their reference frame, in order to know how to do the math to translate dates back and forth?

Could this be done by sharing the distance between objects in space? No clue how accurately we could measure it, but if they could say hey year 0 was when earth was X LY from andromeda, and they can calculate how far they are now, and the rate of expansion, they might be able to calculate when year 0 was?

At some point in the future, after the universe has expanded to the extent that other galaxies are moving away from ours faster than the speed of light, someone might read our astronomy papers and wonder whether they can believe something that cannot be verified.
I sometimes like to go down the rabbit hole of Atlantis and related conspiracies. I recall a time in my life those ideas seemed so laughable that they were completely pointless. I blame Joe Rogan and his podcasts with Graham Hancock for forcing me to consider ideas of ancient civilizations seriously. Not that I consider Graham Hancock's specific ideas to be serious. But it did force me to challenge my own preconceptions of what is possible.

I do recall, on hacker news I believe, an article posted based on a study by NASA scientists that tried to calculate the likelihood of finding evidence for civilizations 10 thousand years, 100 thousand years or older. What is shocking is how quickly any remnants of an advanced civilization could deteriorate. IIRC, the conclusion of the study was that the chance of us finding any evidence of civilizations that old were extremely small.

The idea that there was an ancient civilization over 10 thousand years ago is entirely plausible to me. Massive geological events (or even astrological ones like asteroid impacts) could have altered entire continents. Who knows what evidence is at the bottom of the Pacific ocean that we cannot access. Or what evidence has been forced under tectonic plates through subduction.

Of course, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and so far none of the presented evidence is extraordinary (IMO). But our fixed notion that civilization sprang up nearly fully formed 10 thousand years ago doesn't seem as clear to me as it once did.
OK, thanks for the clarifications. I think it's kind of daft to lump in "might not run on your particular processor" with "unsafe" - these seem like very different concepts - but it's at least consistent.
Just as an update, on successful email verification emauth.io now returns signed JWTs which currently contain the email address, iss ("https://emauth.io"), and iat. They can be verified using the public key available at emauth.io/pubkey. Thanks for the idea!
This happens on both sides. Most of these "think tanks" just craft up bogus research to push some agenda. It happens on both sides of the debate.
Sublime Text had a 7 year head start. Some people used it but always wanted an open source equivalent. Some people switched because ST3 was in beta for 4 years.
I'm not exactly sure where I fall on this. Ben is a really smart guy (way smarter than me), but I feel like this could be a classic case of hindsight.

Now, looking back, it makes sense that the next logical step after PCs was the Internet. But from each era looking forward, it's not as easy to see the next "horizon".

So, if each next "horizon" is hard to see, and the paradigm it subsequently unlocks is also difficult to discern, why should we assume that there is no other horizon for us?

I also don't know if I agree that we are at a "logical endpoint of all of these changes". Is computing truly continuous?

However, I think Ben's main point here is about incumbents, and I agree that it seems it is getting harder and harder to disrupt the Big Four. But I don't know if disruption for those 4 is as important as he thinks: Netflix carved out a $150B business that none of the four cared about by leveraging continuous computing to disrupt cable & content companies. I sure wasn't able to call that back in 2002 when I was getting discs in the mail. I think there are still plenty of industries ripe for that disruption.
Bah. He took three datapoints, built a continuum out of it and says that since the third datapoint is at the end of his continuum, we must be at the end.

But this doesn't fit any of the upcoming trends. The biggest current trend is edge computing where cloud-based services introduce issues around latency, reliability and privacy. These are big money problems - see smart speakers and self-driving cars. The cloud players are aware of this trend - see AWS Outposts that brings the cloud to the needed location and AWS Wavelength where they partnered with Verizon to bring compute closer to people.

But privacy in a world full of data-driven technology is still very much an unsolved problem. And most of the major technology players have public trust issues of one sort or another that present openings for competitors in a world where trust is increasingly important.

You're just repeating what has been hammered in your head for years. This is the power of propaganda: you say things that sound perfectly obvious to you except in fact you don't know- and that's why instead of telling us clearly what you think he was going to do you resort to expletives.

I am a huge privacy advocate. What google does is disgusting, both their anti-competitive practices and their privacy issues. I block all calls to GA via ghostery, myself.

It's not a bad thing that they are moving away from GA. But what basecamp is actually doing here is recoil against the google ads 'shakedown'. They should be honest about it. It's a fine action to take and fine reason to take it. "Privacy" isn't. I mean, it might be, but in basecamp's case it isn't.
A few years back I wanted to try it for a microservice but found it didn't integrate with our system because of missing features in the ZeroMQ libs of the time. So there are and were corners where things aren't fully fleshed out. I imagine you can find these odd corners in most ecosystems.

I've been happy with the libraries I've found and used in general. All the common web stuff seems to be there. ExAws solves most of the cloud integration I've dealt with. But I don't imagine I'd find a selection of high-level, highly ergonomic Google Sheets libraries the way you would in Python. Not yet.

I'd say its still early days but healthy for the job market. I've found freelance work with an Elixir shop recently which is fun. But it is nowhere near Python, JS and all. Still, plenty of people making a living as employees or long-term contractors doing it. And it seems to be growing at a steady rate. I'm hopeful.

Not at all. In fact there's quite a decent tech scene being built around ASU in Tempe; Amazon among others are there.
> We know someone opened fire a pizza place as a direct result of this.

Pizzagate resulted in someone firing a single shot at the lock on a closet door to open it. In a discussion of disinformation, I think your characterization is misleading and exemplary of disinformation as well - in a manner quite similar to the disinformation that led that individual to decide to do a vigilante raid on the pizza parlor.
these kinds of privacy-oriented moves should really be celebrated more, here and around the 'net.

An odd question. RSUs are part of TC, that's it. It is completely unrelated to job security. What has led you to think that there is a relationship?
I guess you could call it a win: it required Khosla to keep the road open until he gets a fencing permit. Khosla took it to court on principle, since he believed that such injunction is already takings: indeed, since the courts affirmed that public does not have access to his property through the road, stopping him from blocking such access issues illegal.

Since he has every right to get such a fencing permit (as there is no easement, right of way or any other public access through his property where he wants to fence it), in a perfect world he’d simply apply for such permit and promptly get it. In reality though, it is highly likely that the state of California will try to use the fence permitting rights it has to stop him from exercising his property rights, which is exactly what Khosla tried to ensure cannot happen in his Supreme Court petition.
Apparently if you just pay people a bit more and give them free lunch that's enough to placate people to the point they regard the very notion of collective bargaining as 'childish'.
Yes, but if they're already in the network (although I've nothing to suggest they are), MITMing the database connection means they get the data immediately, rather than at the next quasi-judicial request.

If I understand you correctly, you would seem to advocate for a positive right of a citizen to know how another citizen has freely spent his own money.

And not only citizens, but the government would know as well, for "full and absolute transparency" would not prevent the government from seeing and using such information. As we have already seen, the Executive can misuse federal agencies to impede the financial efforts of his political opponents, so granting that right would not seem wise.

For the same reason that we vote by secret ballot, not allowing citizens to spend their money secretly for political advocacy would also lead to a form of social tyranny. Consider Brendan Eich.

When you actually try to buy one from the very few distributors permitted to sell them, you'll either end up paying $5-$7 in shipping, when it could be shipped for closer to $1 USPS. And you're only allowed to buy one. Or, if you walk in to a MicroCenter, the only distributor with a physical location you can walk in to and buy one, they're either out of stock, or again you're limited to just one, but you can buy more at a higher price.

Maybe, but that only covers the court portion. The more problematic portion is gathering admissible evidence.

Also, it's not clear if small claims would have jurisdiction with companies that aren't in the same state.

Additionally, winning in small claims only gives you the right to chase after the award (the court is not going to collect on your behalf) -- so you still have to go to the time, hassle, and expense of trying to collect.

Are many of these issues related more to older Erlang libraries? Most all of the Elixir libraries that aren’t a WIP have been pretty good for me. Just curious which sort of protocols too. Not always, but I do find older Erlang libraries often lack unit testing and consistent doc tooling, likely due to lack of tooling in earlier days.

If the entire staff is unionized and ready to fight, facebook can't just hire outside staff. Too much knowledge.

Did you actually read the post?

> The case for big tech today is still the economy of scale and not network effects (maybe facebook have those, but it exists only if the interface to facebook does not change).

This is only true if you believe that the greatest cost of developing software is running hardware. The greatest cost of developing software is developing software. Not only are economies of scale in compute management negligible except at massive scale, the cost of compute has declined dramatically as the companies you've described have made their datacenters available for rent through the cloud. Yet the tech giants persist.

Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon all have considerable network effects that you're not considering. For each of these companies, having so many customers provides benefits that accrue without diminishing returns, giving them a firm hold on market share. See https://stratechery.com/2015/aggregation-theory/

Ben is saying that the only way to topple the giants is by working around them and leveraging new computing technologies better than them. He makes the (admittedly speculative) case that this is no longer possible because we can't bring compute any closer to the user than the mobile devices.

> However, with Kubernetes operators, there is a way to move those capabilities into any Kubernetes cluser.

Kubernetes, at the scale of technologies we're discussing, is a minor optimization. Introducing k8s costs more than it helps far until far into a company's infra maturity. Even if most companies deployed k8s in a manner that significantly reduced costs, it's not enough to overcome the massive advantages existing tech companies have accrued. Not to mention all of the big tech companies have internal cluster managers of their own.
If you want, you can write scripts in it. Just like Python, but that isn't the sweet spot. It is much more suitable for long-running things.

But Nerves is a cool project for Elixir + embedded Linux.

Scenic is a neat project for OpenGL UIs in Elixir.

It can do a lot of different things. You can pick it for the concurrency, the durability or the distributed nature of it. Tons of potential applications. So general purpose-ish. But not as general as some others.
Who is waiting? Most people I know that didn't like the conditions got better jobs in other industries. Finance pays well and is cushy in comparison. Architecture visualizations, media jobs, programming roles are easier to find after obtaining the ability to outperform the norms for other industries.

For most of gaming's history it has been a niche product without mainstream appeal. Do you unionize every fledgling industry? No. It hasn't been four decades in the making. The majority of bad sentiment has come in the past five years, exacerbated by a goldrush mentality and kickstarter burns. The goldrush is over, the big projects are paying out massively to employees. Star Citizen has spent hundred of millions on staff and capital and needs to raise more. Epic is pouring cash back into the industry rewarding workers.

There are more people employed in the industry than ever and some see the collective as a route to personal power. I can't agree with that.

Maybe teachers can scale with technology? Maybe we see some of this with online courses, MOOC's? If that were monetized in a way to give the proceeds directly to the teacher maybe that could work? Although some teaching does not lend itself well to that environment, in some cases classrooms and 1 on 1 interaction is something that cannot be substituted.

I agree for all the examples you give, there's nothing clear like there is for athletes and artists.
> 1) Move to the edge. Specially for AI, there is really no need for a central public cloud due to latency, privacy, and dedicated hardware chips. I.e. most of AI traffic is inference traffic which should be done on the edge.
