A Russian plant in the white house would still be a spy, even though they're an employee. A contractor who isn't working for any intelligence service isn't a spy, even if they publish secret documents.
This thread isn't about what other satellite providers do. It's about the Cable/Fiber/DSL providers. And even when those companies use contractors to do the work (like Spectrum, Comcast, etc), they're still the ones paying those contractors.

I so happened to have spent yesterday afternoon figuring out mu4e on Emacs, which I'm new to. Figured out IMAP but not sending yet. Worked with gmail with a very simple config file.

Interesting. One of the worst sleeps I have had was on a fine sand bed. It was on the floor of an old, abandoned sand mine. The sand was so fine that it sort of just packed under you and didn't move. Perhaps it was a different kind of sand than you experienced.
Wow, that's wicked cool :-)

Is there a particular group associated with it these days? Back in the day it was hot rodders who were talking about fast cars. I wonder what the linguistic definition of a colloquialism's lifetime is, or if there even is one.
> They're no more accurate or not than the original statues. Unless we were to go back in time and physically see these people there's really no way to tell either way.

That's why the author uses multiple historical descriptions of the looks of each emperor. So he can make the pictures more accurate than the original statues.

He also uses paintings and other statues for comparison.

Not parent but I have a similar setup.
Yes, absolutely. I think storing our owns emails/attachments locally is part of best practices.
That is our data and having a safe backup of it is a must.
I use to make the same mistake of the author. It is not the BEAM, it is the architecture that the BEAM force upon you to spoils it (the author).

There are deeper points in what the author says. Even if you let a process crash in the BEAM, but you don't leave the system in a consistent, recoverable state, the BEAM is not going to help you.

Once you realize this, and have a way to apply back pressure, you can get a lot of the benefits of the BEAM in any language. (Not all, being a VM carefully tuned and design for this pattern still means something, but still.)

When you realise that it is so much simpler to leave the system in a consistent state and program very very aggressively, following only the happy path without worrying about errors, you can apply the same pattern every where. Of course within reason that perform can be impacted.

My takeaway is that the BEAM (and the community around it) force upon you a very particular style of programming, and most of the benefits comes from this style, not from the BEAM itself. You can apply the same style in any programming language.

I think parent is trying to draw a trendline toward executive forgiveness. A Trump pardon is different than an Obama pardon. This is about Trump, not Snowden, and not about the issues of the modern surveillance state as demonstrated by Snowden. A Snowden pardon by Trump will have a clause where Snowden promises to appear on stage at a rally. (edit, clarity)

As far as I know, commits that were once ancestors of a branch can sometimes no longer be ancestors of that branch. If that's not a mutation, then the word is not as useful as I thought.
Why should the recipient/platform be culpable if the supplier is already acknowledged as being both culpable and dishonest as far as the ToS? It might be sexier in a David vs. Goliath sense to go after Facebook but Facebook isn't the party creating and uploading all of this content. If the risks of supplying a platform without consent aren't sufficiently high then suppliers will never have an incentive to verify consent. And if the suppliers were already verifying for consent then this would be a non-issue because consent would be implied as far as the platform was concerned.

Note that the Berlin blackout affected 30000 people and was caused by a construction company cutting through a cable. All of these affected many more (Chicago: 800K), occur rather frequently and seem to be caused by regular phenomena like weather.

One major reason is that so much of power-distribution is above-ground, on these poles you see everywhere. Storms will knock these over or have falling trees take them down.

Yes. The claim was that "most 1st world countries" experience rolling blackouts. That's not true.

Skyroot Aerospace: Raman Engine Test Fire
The impact of one individual doesn't fix the whole problem, but the impact of every individual doing their piece is how it gets done. Ordinary people wash their hands.

This is how ridiculous the conversation has gotten. It's tautological that humans acting together involve individual actions. The collective is; thinking about the group and coordinating.

What's happened in the US today is that minority of people have decided that taking an action for group benefit, notably wearing a mask but also other anti-infection measures, infringes on their "individual right". This is the "cult of the individual" that the gp mentioned.

Moreover, almost human collective individuals leadership. Not even enforcement but trusted people setting the tone. America's leaders have failed, abjectly, visibly, to set a coherent tone, to send a message. This failure is an important part of the chaotic US response and the deranged ideological claims of a minority.
The problem there is that your coworkers working in those languages who don't have Erlang/Elixir experience have not internalized those lessons yet and they're not going to understand why you're doing what you're doing when they review your code.

Edit: I remember an interview that I had once with a team that was trying to bring on a senior to improve their PHP code and they were really unused to the code style I used to solve their problem. Their main issue was the way wrote their code duplicated most of the (very large) request data unnecessarily many times and forced PHP to add more chunks of RAM several times as it handled the request. My code cut all of that fat, but because they didn't understand that's what their problem was they wrote it off as "this guy doesn't know how to code". They didn't even ask and I was glad to not move forward, ultimately.

As another user was kind enough to post:

> “They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo. “If they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”

While this is part of a larger story, as another user pointed out, it does not take away from the fact that the President made his rationale clear for not wanting a functional U.S. Postal Service.

He didn't have to "say the quiet part aloud," but he did. It is an incontrovertible fact.

edit:

On top of everything, the USPS is enshrined in Article 1 of the constitution. [0]

> Power to Protect the Mails

> The postal powers of Congress embrace all measures necessary to insure the safe and speedy transit and prompt delivery of the mails.

I am just beginning to absorb this information, but at the very least, by their own inaction the US Congress is derelict of their constitutionally mandated duties, correct? If so, I believe they should be held accountable in the court of public opinion, at the very least.

Speaking of moving fast, is there anything in physics that limits how fast things are moving in space? I don't mean the limit of speed (that is already known) but realistically, how likely is there to exist, say, a tiny, fist-sized asteroid moving at a slightly sub-luminal speed? Say, 0.9997C in our frame of reference? And if such a thing were to exist, what would the consequences of it colliding with the Earth be? For the reference, an US quarter coin traveling at that speed has relativistic kinetic energy of 4.85MT TNT. We obviously wouldn't be able to detect an object moving this fast, but how likely is it to be out there?
Do you have any source on that? It sounds like it might be just anecdotal due to the fact that trans people tend to be more noticeable.

Great idea! I've just recently setup a veggie patch, I can't believe I used to pay for my greens.

There's one respect where I would say it is just _better_, in that if you want your processes to be message-passing actors, you don't have a lot of great options coming from other languages whereas in Erlang that's a fundamental design choice.

"Better" is a matter of what types of systems you're trying to build.
Switching commits and rebasing works like I expect it to. You need to update after switching of course.

I've always assumed the copy in .git/modules is just a cache so I don't have to re-clone the whole submodule if I switch to a commit where the submodule doesn't exist, then switch back.

People more frequently oppose the former.

> all thanks to the 'cowboys' with an attitude

Maybe cowboys contributed too, but despite horrible interface I think VCS part was actually better. Before everyone switched to git, I’ve used cvs, svn, sourcesafe, clearcase. They all required 2 things to work well:

1. You must be in a room with a low-latency 1GBPs link to the server.

2. Dedicated sys.admins on site whose job is supporting the infrastructure, VCS included.

When people don’t screw up with the interface too much, git can be better: doesn’t care about network latency by design, handles conflicts better, branching/merging is very easy…

This is why I do keto. There are no cravings, no hunger spikes; After about the 3rd week, I haven't had a physical itch for anything sugary (it went away after the 3rd day, but kept mildly lingering for the first three weeks.) It's extremely effortless to keep kcal intake between 1500-2000.

It becomes such a natural flow that no discipline is needed to keep it up. And if you're wondering, before this I used to be what can be accurately described as a "food extremist."
> I reach for the word ratio because the concept (of two parameters whose magnitude varies and that would be meaningful in some relation) is a friend, and the word “better” is a writing trick to avoid having to define exactly what those are whilst still expressing the sentiment.

The use of ratio is entirely appropriate for conveying this, even in non-technical settings (and such use is pretty common). But to my ear, there's a definite implication that the relationship involves the two things typically moving in the same direction (and roughly linearly) such that it's notable when they've moved in opposite directions. (It's still very much qualitative - we're not really going to be able to assign meaningful numbers). Had you spoken of complexity/power, I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Even so, I only really commented because I was enjoying playing with the idea of a simplicity/power ratio being somehow informative.
Pooled testing is currently done in Germany and has been done in many places.

It mixes samples and if the entire batch tests negative, you save yourself from having to run n tests. If it tests positive, then you do something akin to a “binary search” to efficiently narrow down the positive cases.

This is explained here. (See section on generalized binary splitting algorithm).

The answer should therefore not be "withhold funding to increase rates of lost mail".

Eliminating polling stations, like what's happened in Kentucky, decreases the rate of voting. Voter ID laws prevent people from voting. Purging voters from registration rolls prevents people from voting. If you want to compare voter suppression methods, I've got news for you: lost mail is not what should keep you up at night.

Been programming in Elixir for years now, I'd say 19 out of 20 engineers I've spoken to don't really leverage BEAM.

Not OP, but I fancy this rough theory:

According to armchair psychologists and a joke, the answer to every psychological question is 'your mother'.

If you look at ways to deal with conflicts [1], it could be that being transgender is a form of dealing with inner conflicts.

Being autistic means that there is some distortion (no judgement intended) in the relationship to other people. The distortion most likely originates from the first relationship, i.e. the relationship to the mother. Since there is a need for a fulfilled relationship, it will be fulfilled by one way or another. If e.g. the mother is absent, then the mind looks for another way to fulfil it.

One way for fulfilment is becoming the desired object itself. So, to bring it to a point: Autism can origin from an absent mother. One way to replace the need for a mother is becoming a female object for others.
