Ammon's previous venture was Socialcam [1], of which Wikipedia says

> Socialcam's popularity on Facebook suddenly increased in the spring of 2012, via unusually aggressive actions to induce contacts to join. It was criticized as "invasive" and a "bully" by many reviewers, for sharing what users were viewing without them realizing that that would happen.

It was only after articles like "Why I Hate Socialcam Even If It Might Be the Next Instagram"[2] (spoiler alert: it was not) started appearing that Ammon and friends sold to Autodesk for $60 million. I'm sure that investment worked out swimmingly for Autodesk. Win some, lose some, eh? But hey, at least Ammon got some resources out of it, which he went on to use to make the world a better place, and some valuable life lessons about privacy and honesty and respect, right? Right, Ammon?

Doing Elixir since 2016, deployed multiple Phoenix Projects to Production.

Of you want to build dynamic web applications, phoenix+LiveView is imo _the_ best Option currently. It also keeps the promises: reliable (zero-maintenance apps running for years on heroku), productive (prototyping things is really fast: like rails 2/3 days), fast (templates render fast even when complex). It is also great to have actor processes and ETS at your fingertips.

Having said that: dynamic typing truly sucks for bigger projects/large teams. It is awful how much you have to write tests for, and these tests will slow down further velocity when things will change... stellar opposite to Rust.

Never attempt to do any serious number crunching in Elixir/Erlang, the BEAM truly is not made for this stuff. Plan to use/write NIFs or Ports for computational tasks. Even compiling larger Phoenix codebases will take minutes if you aren’t cautious of using „import“ in modules.

Finally: deployment is really the major pain point. I love the single file deployment story of rust and go.
> Erm, you can setup dialyzer to be as strict as possible.

No. This is just plain false. Having used dialyzer since 2016 I can tell you it's not useful as a substitute for statically checked types via a compiler, with real strictness (which includes "When I don't have enough info, that's a type error").

> This might not catch all the errors because of the nature of messages, but this is a pretty small part of a system usually and can be covered by tests.

Not only will it not catch obvious type errors, it will also report false types when the core team doesn't use dialyzer in their libraries (because it doesn't work). These will bubble up to you instead and while you're mad they're not using dialyzer you'll still have to admit you understand why they don't.

I'm not sure what you mean by give you examples of how Elixir type specs aren't useful for domain modelling. They're ad-hoc, serve as documentation at best and even if they had structural power enough to express basic things they aren't checked at all, so you're getting none of the guarantees you would get in a statically checked language where your model changes and you can safely go forward by seeing what needs changing additionally to adapt.
I strongly agree on the “too thin” point. On screen I find it an awful font, almost as bad as half the 300-weight sans-serifs too many people love to use on their websites. Computer Modern does look better printed, especially on less-accurate printers that thicken what they print.

Related: the serif font Equity comes in two grades to compensate for such types of printers (though both grades are thicker than Computer Modern), and discusses the rationale for this feature: https://mbtype.com/pdf/equity-type-specimen.pdf#page=5

By

A) Adjusting the gear ratio such that twist could be introduced in the steel axle;

and

B) Reversing (and re-reversing) that twist enough times, eventually a stress crack was formed;

C) That stress crack, coupled with enough additional reversing and re-reversing of the twist, resulted in the steel eventually becoming completely cracked.

So yes, under certain circumstances, plastic Lego can indeed break a steel axle...
Same with me. And somehow, their online costumer service was always unavailable... What a coincidence! Luckily, in my country there is a service that allows us to create temporary credit cards and I had subscribed with one. It was just a matter of canceling that card.
I've deleted a lot of accounts in the last few weeks, and Airbnb was the only one requiring an ID prove. I agree, it is indeed part of GDPR for them to ensure I have the right to delete my account. My only issue is that my ID does not prove anything in my case, because Airbnb doesn't know my identity which they could compare my ID with, because I did have to provide my ID after registering and I never booked anything on their site.

Nelson Rockefeller was actually the one that commissioned Diego Rivera for the piece. The article makes it sound like John D. Rockefeller was involved with the commission. Nelson like his mother was a big patron of the arts. The story I have heard was that Nelson was interested in having it moved to MOMA(Museum of Modern Art) and paying for it. For some context Nelson's mother was Abby Aldrich one of the founders of MOMA. The sculpture garden at MOMA today is named after her. Given their interest in the arts and being involved in that circle in Manhattan it seems rather unlikely that Nelson would have ordered it to be destroyed. Although it certainly makes for a more exciting narrative - class struggle, art and violence. Why the move of the piece to MOMA never happened seems be lost to the dustbin of history unfortunately but I have heard it posited that Diego felt the destruction of it was of greater value as a political statement.
Well what I meant was: when you break one table out of another. The kind of thing that comes up when you learn that there's a one-to-many in the domain that you didn't know about when you started.

when connected to an external monitor or dock—I’ve tried two different TB3 docks—the machine kernel panics regularly, usually waking up from sleep.

I had a similar problem, and it turned out that the dock needed a driver. I don't think I've installed a driver for an external device since I switched to Macs years ago, so it never occurred to me that something like a dock would need a driver.

But it turns out that once I installed the vendor's driver, the problems all went away. I'm not sure who's fault that is.
maybe not in the official product stack, but it's a 16-core processor that costs $700. it performs the same as or slightly worse than the 3900x in any workload that isn't massively parallel. imo, when you get to the point in the product stack where $300 dollars yields the same or worse single-thread performance, you have entered HEDT land.
I took one of their dev quizzes when they launched just for the hell of it and entered my name as "Die in a Fire" which gives me a giggle every time I get an update from them. This time around, it was even funnier. I have such a dislike for middleman industries like recruiting. I know they provide real value but once one of them gets hold, it's almost inevitable they'll use their market position to squeeze everybody involved.
I assume you would have gotten used to it then, but given that you found another keyboard that works for you, I guess it wouldn't have been worthwhile.

Modulating individual lines is the only way for such a scheme to become practical in a real environment and achieve the claimed data rates. Making hundreds of modulators and receivers fit within a single chip is about as hard as making hundreds of laser fit a single chip, hence why it's not realistically being pursued by the industry. My point is that if you already require separate chips for the rest of the transceiver, integrating the laser itself becomes much less of an issue, and the benefits of a single laser source common to all much more muted.

I tried to work with React Native and while there are many things that especially iOS development could learn from the developer experience apart from the fact that it's a platform-on-platform (with the associated problems the poster I initial replied to, I just can't get over the fact I'm working with Javascript and everything related to it.

I have built native interfaces that would interface C# code, that was slightly less pleasant as a developer experience while I would get a 100% native experience for the user and a better programming language in return.

So what you gain in getting a singular code base for at least your logic and data parts you lose because you're chasing bugs that would never happen if you would have used a better programming language.

The average native project I've seen had 5-15 dependencies. The average React Native project thousands and thousands of them.

I had considered Triplebyte as a platform to use years ago but never got around to filling it all out. I _did_ see this email but didn't really think about it until I read this article.

No doubt, this move was made to incentivize more cash flow for Triplebyte. I've lost my trust in the company and will not be recommending them to anyone I speak to again.

Customers will use your service, if they trust you and you provide value. Pulling sneaky things like this to keep your shareholders happy are not the things I want to be apart of. If you can't make money, why not consider offering Triplebyte to be paid, instead of going behind our backs in a sneaky way trying to sell our personal data.
There is an important difference between prices and volume.

To make a living you either have to get decent margin or huge volume. When both the margin and volume drops you have a problem.

> Stealing a credit card is an order of magnitude more difficult

For signing up for porn sites, it's really not very much more difficult. Steal card from parent while sleeping, enter numbers in form, now you have access. It's a small hoop to jump through and lots of people do it for identity theft purposes.

> How do you police something which is so easy to access?

You really can't.

> We expect Governments and businesses to police access to drugs, why not for pornography?

Access to drugs isn't the same as telling me what to do in my own house with an Internet connection and device I'm paying for.

> It is not reasonable to expect every single parent to manually install blocking apps on all phones and devices that children have access to.

Your kid has a phone, a tablet, and a PC. 3 devices which you bought/owned, not really a lot of work. If you have the problem of your kid having too many devices, you also have the means to pay someone to do it for you.

> $5 a month is an order of magnitude more expensive than free, and forces people to confront their addiction if it has a real price.

It would have to be way higher. Honestly if I'm extremely addicted and use porn 5x a day, $5 a month is a bargain.

> Disabling access to free porn would be a boon for the Porn industry who could focus on quality content rather than spectacle and exploitation.

I don't know. Amateur content is a top category on many sites I think.

Probably the number one thing anyone concerned with exploitation could do is destigmatize and legalize sex work, and provide a decent social safety net so people are less tempted to commit desperate actions to survive.
Every discussion I've come across claims Japan has prevalent usage of masks, and many Asian countries generally. No I haven't been there, so I must go by the evidence presented to me.. one way or the other.

Of course this is mostly for the sick, but also generally in times of seasonal illness, but also yes.. this pandemic. But across this spectrum, Japanese cultural acceptance of wearing masks is much higher than even right now in the middle of covid for Americans and particularly their political leaders, to say nothing of non-pandemic mask usage. So the contrast is stark.

Here's a random article[0] I just googled (but I've seen many more speaking to this dynamic) of prevalent mask usage in Japan, written in 2017. There's some pictures there too, of Japanese people wearing masks.

It's also important to identify the thing that people request first, such as a good website. Plenty of work is done after that problem is solved or in addition to that problem.

The person who solves the "we need a website" problem gets to solve those additional problems if they want to.
That is incorrect the amplifiers have the capacity to amplify lots of channels simultaneously. So it is sufficient to only upgrade the endpoints (unless your fibre is full, where full means the bandwidth of the amplifiers, ~100 Tb/s for a single fibre). This has in fact been the driver behind the tremendous growth in data rates we have seen in the last 30 years. Operators can incrementally upgrade links by upgrading the endpoints. To transfer a MB across the network was 100s of $ in the 90s and is now essentially free (it's like 10e-4 cents or sol

I got a response from "freekisanders" that can only be seen with "showdead" turned on.

I am reposting here because he made a legitimate comment and it should be seen by people.

Mods---please un-dead this guy, he seems benevolent.

Here is his comment:

Reading this thread with interest (even though it is off-topic).

I'm also a Christian. What convinced me (among other things) is historical and scientific accuracy.

As said, there is enough prove for the historical existence of persons like Jesus and David.

And many biblical events and dates can be confirmed through archaeology.

As to scientific claims, a good collection of articles would be: https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/science/

The Taiwan still claim mainland and they are at civil war still. Well, Hk technically belong to Taiwan.

Having said that one must note Taiwan has a law in the pipeline (1st reading) to give up The claim of mainland. You may be surprise Of communist china Actual objection To it But not HKER or Taiwanese. In any case Even if they keep the claim This path is Only valid In theory but frankly not in Practice.

Personally i will continue our fight. Taiwan has enough of their own problems. If they can free from mainland, That is great already.
How does that work?

As far as I'm aware, there is nothing in the law that looks even vaguely like the DMCA notice-and-takedown regime for patents or trademarks.

I do agree with you that there are a number of abusive legal games used to farm small businesses.
Agreed but part of that process is forming and re-forming your goals. It's ok if you aren't exactly sure what the goal is or if it turns out that the ones you thought you had were wrong.
Yes, because of this ad-tech, some days I wish you had taken your work on JavaScript and sent it entirely to /dev/null, no offense.
It’s interesting because the author is a software artisan, like many of the people who are responding in this thread. Personally I love reading about the tools used by other people in the same trade. The choice of tools highly influences ones productivity, which is probably why I find it fascinating to read about his choices.
Your goal could be to lose weight. That's great but it's not actionable. An actionable goal is "go to the gym for 30 min today before lunch to run on the treadmill." So set that easy and actionable goal and go do it.

What works for me is focusing on at most two or three things at a time. Anything more than that becomes too difficult to keep up. Right now for me those are fitness, working on my startup idea, and reading.

As an example, for fitness I use the two day rule. If I didn't workout yesterday I have to work out today. If I worked out today then I can choose to workout tomorrow, or not. I never go two days in a row without working out. I also workout first thing in the morning so that it's not hanging over my head all day.

It's mostly about scheduling things that you want to do into your day and actually doing them. Give yourself days off if you need them, and plan things out ahead of time.

> Why? Can't you have distinction without geometry?

Maybe but I don't see how.

> It's not only position which can be distinct, you can have other properties.

Properties like what? Color, sound, temperature, etc., all of these are geometric, no? Can you think of a concrete physical property that doesn't reduce to some kind of geometry?

> You can encode them not by shape, but, say, by kind of particle?

Sure, but then that particle must have some distinction from every other particle, either intrinsic or extrinsic (in relation to other particles), no?

Any sort of real-world distinction-making device has to have form, so that eliminates real non-geometric distinctions.

It may be possible to imagine a formless symbol but I've tried and I can't do it.

The experience of Dr. Taylor indicates to me that the brain constructs the subjective experience of symbolic distinction. (Watching her talk from an epistemological POV is really fascinating!)

So that only leaves some kind of mystic realm of formless, uh, "things". My experience has convinced me that "the formless" is both real and non-symbolic, however by the very nature of the thing I can't symbolize this knowledge.

In the Beginning was the Void
And the Void was without Form

If you can come up with a counter-example I would stand amazed. Cheers!

I don't have an Xbox, so unfortunately no. The only occasional gaming I do is on Windows, and even that's rare these days.
This email is sufficiently ambiguous that it would definitely mislead at least some of their users. Given how shady and scummy the rest of the company's practices seem to be, it's hard to believe this ambiguity isn't by design.
On Win10 you can use win+1, win+2, ... to select the apps pinned to the application bar, it launches them if they're not launched; if they are launched it switches between active windows. That sounds like what you're after.

Sorry if this is really well known I'm new to MS Windows as a user.

I use dual monitor, but have two virtual desktops giving me 4 "screens" to layout windows in. I keep the same window in the same place, but often have to use 3 docs at once and so would love a 3rd screen. Then I'd have reference material on 1), doc I'm responding to on 2), doc I'm writing in also on 2), citations on 3).
Not GP, but I have done plenty of TDD development in dynamic languages and not once have I written a test that checks whether a string is a string. You get that implicitly because others test will fail if the types don't match.

While I personally prefer certain statically typed languages over dynamic ones for new projects, In practice, for small to medium sized projects, runtime type errors is in my opinion much less of an issue as some people make it out to be. Except for null exceptions they rarely make it into production and if, are easy to track down and fix.

Interestingly, a lot of the people I have seen constantly running into type problems in say Python, are the ones coming from statically typed languages that keep insisting doing thing the way they are used to instead of embracing the duck.
I did this exact calculation and it comes out to 730, exactly like GP said.
