It's hard to believe that we can buy $2000 smartphones which will get security updates for utmost 3 years if lucky.

Can we imagine a computer manufacturer pulling this off with a $2000 computer i.e. where we cannot use the operating system of our choice? Although we are getting closer with integration of proprietary hardware without proper Linux driver support and of-course abysmal user-repairability score(don't tell that's it's for water proofing laptops).

Smartphones are and should be treated as portable computers. we need international regulations to force smartphone manufacturers to allow installation of any 'operating system of choice', else they are just forced e-junk; This can help address anti-trust issues concerning Appstore/Playstore as well.
Reading the story and how fintech arose in Kenya due to the lack of regulation of the apps compared to the banking sector. Hard to resist the confirmation bias because that definitely confirms my biases.

I have used both an IDE and vim for years, and in my personal experience, editing text speed is overstated in vim purely due to the kind of text you are writing, namely a program. Just because I can replace all text inside a tag 90% faster than an IDE does not mean my next thought will be ready to go when that task is complete. I just don't see where the savings come from in terms of actual finger presses to outcomes per day.
While the original use case for Erlang was for telecom, it's more accurate to say it's for building networked applications that can be designed for fault-tolerance.

I’ll try it again. It’s a beautiful bit of code, and I love what it does.

It’s just that, whenever I would have it installed, my system would have fairly frequent, random, “gray screen of death” crashes, with worthless stack traces.

Very cool example. Agree with your point. What I meant by history isn’t actually made by singular heroes is that simultaneous innovation tends to be the norm. Not sure if that applies to the Tesla example, but for most other iconic moments like the lightbulb, there were dozens of people who independently arrived at the same invention.

I really like the idea, but personally I got better results simply binding back and forward buttons to keyboard macros for 'ctrl -' and 'ctrl shift -' using Logitech‘s G-Hub software.

The shortcuts 'ctrl -' and 'ctrl shift -' are the default for 'go back' and 'go forward' being supported even in many apps (including that don't support the gestures), and since they are keyboard shortcuts you can usually add support for them in apps by rebinding the shortcuts for back and forward (or anything else you want to bind in that particular software).
Was searching for exactly that and couldn't find an answer. That's what I would've guessed that such an expensive display won't be on a pregnancy test. Sad.

Hats off to this great achievement, even though it's not really all original hardware.
They are not. There is a reason why seasoned Erlangers all tell you to avoid the process dictionary. Erlang docs[0] say the following:

> Note that using the Process Dictionary:

> - Destroys referencial transparency

> - Makes debugging difficult

> - Survives Catch/Throw

> So:

> - Use with care

> - Do not over use - try the clean version first

Syncing times, and book downloads for that matter, across multiple platforms is a critical feature for me. Which is why I’m sadly stuck using Audible's flakey apps.

Offtopic, but this reminds me of how Audible in general (website, purchasing UX, etc) always feels half broken. It mostly works but small bizarre things ruin it (most recently a purchased book disappearing while marked as purchased in the store requiring manual support intervention). I often wonder if it's half abandon ware since they now have a monopoly and it's using some ancient Java backend.
Why do they assume constant genetic bracing at that era, but these tribes could have been isolated and thus not gotten the gene.

Secondly, does not having the gene make drinking milk impossible? I'm pretty sure that when starving anything would go.
Elixir hasn’t done away with behaviours. They exist in the language and are used to implement features in the standard library itself and many libraries in the ecosystem.

You don’t have to go to Erlang documentation to learn about them since they are documented in Elixir as well [1] [2].

Downpour.com sell DRM-free audiobooks, but lately I noticed a couple of titles in their library that are DRM-protected, so I don’t know for how long that will last.

In their library I did find most of the titles I was interested in, selection is good, content is high quality, so I've been enjoying it.

True that all thought is abstraction. But not necessarily compression? Hypostatic abstraction would expand the data as would building any kind of new relations? Neuro modulators are brain-wide. We can also change our perception.
Suppose you have a newsletter with 10,000 subscribers. You need to perform a proof-of-work the first time you send an email to each new subscriber; so, 10,000 proofs-of-work. Each proof-of-work costs $0.001. This adds up to a grand total of ten dollars.

Or, to put it a different way: $0.001 is very roughly equivalent to a few minutes of CPU time. So if you have a single-core server dedicated to running your mailing list, you can onboard several hundred new subscribers every day.

Remember, the sender only needs to pay the proof-of-work when someone first joins the mailing list and receives the initial message. So, I don't see how this will kill mailing lists at all.
I mentioned that I believe problems manifest as scale increases. Do you think there is a difference between implementations of democracy in a large country vs a small one? I do.

To clarify after some further thought - I think the bureaucratic burden scales much more drastically in a democratic system. In a large democracy all decisionmaking becomes mired in a swamp. Of course all governments will require more and more delegation and bureaucracy as the population grows, but IMO to a lesser degree in an authoritarian system, because there is no need to come to a broad consensus before making choices.
I live in Denmark, where you’d really need a new official SSN to “disappear” because you can’t do much without one and the official 2 factor identity that comes with it. But this article got me wondering a bit.

I work in the public sector, and it’s actually not that hard to declare someone dead and issue a new SSN, or perhaps even a fake permanent refugee permit that will be eligible for a SSN after a few years. The processes around it aren’t really that audited, and nothing about the last part of it would pop up in any audit. It’s also done by some of our lowest payed employees who are hopelessly overworked, making it even easier to hide.

I wonder if anyone is selling this service illegally.
It's unfortunate these people said/did that but can we please stop conflating the personal transgressions of employees as if it's reflective of the company as a whole?

I wouldn’t say so. And I have experienced being a foreigner there.
For starters, instead of providing software updates for THREE TIMES AS LONG as their main competitor in their main product space (iPhone), they'd need to start providing updates for, say, less long. :)

Then, after that, they would need to start making products which, instead of holding their resale value for much longer than competing products (which they clearly and obviously do), hold their value for less long.

I could go on, but really, for anyone paying attention? To the facts which really matter? This stuff is pretty obvious.

Something I find perplexing about this theory, they do have the shipping number right? Shouldn't it be trivial to find who is benefiting?
No, it is a shortcut to the third level, and generally I'd not recommend it as you need better wands to survive. It is more a way back up if you get good enough gear to get to the overworld.

Also I'd recommend going over the pit instead of down it.

Didn't the bronce age end like three thousand years ago? It's my understanding that by that time the Indo-Europeans were already well established. Besides while they contributed a large fraction of the ancestry of contemporary Europeans a significant fraction of the ancestry is still from the middle eastern farmers which conquered Europe before them. Even if you only look at the Y chromosome, there is still quite a bit none R1 floating around.

Don't do it ... there is another article floating around the internets about a guy who specializes in finding people who disappear. And apparently his successrate is well above 80% (from memory). Most people are just not that great at leaving their live behind and will leave traces by calling family or accessing old online accounts.
The tweet clearly states that it is not a movie, but the actual game.

LinkedIn Hack: a self-organizing work-group to support your job hunt
We're forming a group of eight. There are five places left.

What we do is support each other, learn some uncommon hacks for job searches, and we're going to build in public. The core concept is we go to war on LinkedIn! I want everyone in your LinkedIn network to see you forming a group during your job search that helps others. It's a side-project you can talk about in interviews. It'll add some structure to your job search and we'll hold each other accountable.

Here's the key. We have no leader. All I am doing is initiating. This is a self-organizing, autonomous group.

Next step: leave a comment in this post telling us a bit about yourself, what you've done and what you're looking for. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/memetics_blockchain-data-howto-activity-6707189966218264576-AlSa.
Hot pinks (where I think of hot as neon) are one of my rare photosensivity triggers, especially in combination with light greys, or even silver.

I discovered this in a fullpage advert decades ago, where the page was mostly hot pink, and the rather large letters in silver-grey.

That produced an optical illusion wherein the letters and the pink surface drifted apart from each other into infinity, maybe a dozen times per second, and swapping their positions from foreground to background. Almost puke inducing. And lasting for several minutes after, made my field of view "flicker".

Similar thing with the Mint which was trendy in the 90ies.

Brrr.

Yes, even with preserving there is too much meat. DDG says one cow has about 250 kg of meat. This is enough to feed a family for over a year.

There is also enough edible meat that cannot be preserved: the head, some organs. These are prepared immediately, hence the feast for the village.
3yrs (projected 8) vs potentially thousands, hundreds of thousands, etc for interplanetary, or beyond, is still a ways to go.

Article mentions it would likely be buried in the rock though, so potentially different environmental conditions?

In my mind, in a web context, Elixir is a better Nodejs.

It will never be as popular though.

And it's not like other languages stay stagnant. JS and TS, Java with green threads, C# with actor and LiveView like libraries.
I bought the book, and I am working through: Building High Integrity Applications with SPARK. I put Rust aside due to Ada/SPARK's lead in this industry. I think Rust will catch up, but SPARK2014 seems to be the way to go for now.

I would use that definition for "roguelite", precisely because because they are not top-down RPG.
That’s true, but it is done a lot cleaner than in the wild west days of the C preprocessor, where feature-specific, compiler-specific, and platform-specific #ifdef’s were sprinkled throughout the source code seemingly without much thought (but keeping things working must have taken lots of thought), nested #ifdef’s were common, and often not all cases had separate paths in the code.

Dependency injection can be made messy, too, but that takes more of an effort. You can also test injected code in isolation. That may take some effort, but those preprocessor messes only could be tested as part of the entire product.

As I said, I can see why they wanted to get rid of that. Not adding a same replacement may not have been the best choice, but I am not sure of that. Programming culture also had to change, and that sometimes requires drastic action. Apple also did that in the Mac by not providing any text mode (forces programmers to make windowed applications) and by removing cursor keys from the first keyboard (forces programmers to provide a good mouse interface)
This is a single breaking jump after 20 years. This migration is really needed and well considered.
I wish audiobook apps had bookmarking. I often fall asleep to audiobooks and have to scrub around trying to find my place next time I want to listen.

In your definition of freedom it will also require that every "free" member of society is equally well informed to decide if a product or service will negatively impact them or not. I venture to say that any societal structure that depends on "everyone doing their part" is bound to fail.

Do other countries not have laws that allow people to remain hidden?

I remember this case from Finland. Police were asking for clues about a man named Janne after he had been missing for a week and a half. Some days later the police announced that they had been in contact with the man and that he was alive. However, he did not want to have his current location revealed and the police obeyed that.

"People in Finland have the right to disappear. If a person wants to remain hidden, there's nothing the police can do about that" they said. The only thing they were able to tell his family was that he was still alive.

I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a thriving industry in the future.

The internet has created a world in which, no matter where you go, there is never an escape from your past, no easy way to pack your bags and start fresh.

On top of that, the internet opens users from any particular nation to identity theft by criminals all around the world.

This state of affairs is still young. A few more decades, and many more people will be seeking out a change of identity, a new address, maybe even plastic surgery. Witness relocation: it's not just for witnesses, anymore.
