All the colors were updated for Tailwind UI, and they are supposed to be incorporated into Tailwind CSS at some point:

"During early access, the components in Tailwind UI depend on some extensions we've added to the default Tailwind CSS config (like extra spacing values, updated, colors, additional shadows, etc.)

"These extensions will make their way into Tailwind itself in the future...."

The bottom of Tailwind UI documentation gives more info on the color palette changes, including the new grey:

You can write a trivial template that generates a parameter pack which the compiler should be able to optimize at compile time.

However in my experience there are human factors problems which I posted in another comment.
A guess (based on my experience with RPi): It’s handy if you can debug your RPi peripherals using a “normal” computer to make sure they work. You can even develop an application on a desktop with a fast CPU (for faster compilation) and then ship it to the RPi when you’re done.

> Hi, I'm a seasoned erlanger, and we do not all tell you that.

Seasoned Erlang developer here too (10+ years).

First of all, the original post wanted to share data across requests. Given each request is typically handled in separate process, you simply cannot use the process dictionary to share this data. So your original comment completely missed the mark.

Second of all, I would say most of the Erlang community actually agrees with the Erlang official documentation linked above. For example, for a long time, Cowboy had this in its README:

> No parameterized module. No process dictionary. Clean Erlang code.

And the reason is simple: the process dictionary is about state within a single process. This data cannot be easily shared (you can with erlang:process_info/2 but that adds a process lock). Therefore, most times people resort to the process dictionary is to pass data within a process, implicitly, and passing it functionally (the clean way) is often better. Using ets for the same purpose would also be frowned upon. The process dictionary should only be used almost exclusively for metadata.

You probably won't be inclined to take my word for this, so here is a proposal: send a pull request to remove or update the linked notes above from Erlang/OTP docs and see how well it will be received.

> I got voted into the floor for saying "you're a better elixir programmer if you also learn erlang," which is a simple fact.

I don't think that's the case. As an active participant in the various Elixir communities, I've found that the general advice is that learning Erlang, while not necessary, is definitely worth it. Many of the community 'members' do or did plenty of Erlang programming, and the stories of all the 'goodies' and how much simpler Erlang can be at times have more than once gotten me to play around with it. I generally find very little hostility between Elixir and Erlang programmers. Far from it.

I also strongly contest that you're just saying "you're a better elixir programmer if you also learn erlang". At best, some of your comments approach the sentiment, but then end with judging the commenter a blub programmer, or something similar.

I can understand if maybe you've had bad experiences with 'micro-language communities' and you're reading that into what Elixir programmers are saying, but by and large I very rarely come across Elixir programmers who thumb their nose at Erlang. More than anything the sentiment is a kind of reverence and maybe even a degree of 'embarrassment' over finding it hard to get over Erlang syntax.

> I do think this. I think that most micro-language communities are bizarrely intolerant of criticism, and unwilling to cope with the idea that every language has problems and that you can only get good at a language if you face them with open eyes.

That's perhaps true, but Elixir is among the few communities where I find much less of that than elsewhere. The forums and slack are rife with day-to-day Elixir/Erlang programmers who lament the lack of static typing, argue about how Phoenix is too magical, and so on. One reason I was drawn to Elixir was precisely the relative lack of "this is the best thing ever and everything else sucks" sentiment that I find in so many other programming language communities.

I was assuming you were just trolling, because it's hard for me to believe that you don't see the discrepancy between what you say you are saying, and what you're actually saying. It's very discrepid!
Presumably the roll rate on that type of plane would be lower than on a traditional tube-with-wings design. So while the bank angle might still be high, it won't happen quickly.

As long as the plane is banked at an appropriate angle (relative to the rudder angle), the passengers shouldn't feel anything other than perhaps a bit more positive G force.

STL files are the 3D models that you put into your slicer of choice (which converts the project into the thin layers that the printer will gradually put down).

There's a dozen things to print in the zip. I sliced 3-4 of them, and none seemed particularly heavy. Something like $0.50 of filament each for what I pay for PLA, which would put the whole thing at ~$6 of material. Perhaps the cost is being driven by some sort of print-on-demand costs?

FWIW, you could also buy an Ender 3 for ~$200, and $140 buys a lot of filament, so you could get into the 3D printing hobby for less than the quoted cost.

No, what I'm saying is that you're now seeing what happens when it's not 1984. Similar to this whole human microphone thing they did a few years back at Occupy Wall Street. It works great when all the repeaters repeat the message and do so in sync. It doesn't work at all when they all just yell whatever it is they think is best.

Then the audience isn't getting the actual message, and many parts of the audience aren't even getting the same message as their neighbors. Some hear "go left", others hear "go right", some get "we should all stay here" and the rest gets some kind of talk about why soup is better than sandwiches. Needless to say that they won't get anything done that way.

Media are reality-mirrors. It's fine if your mirror is a bit dirty, dull or not hung perfectly flat (it's distorting reality, but it's close enough to be useful as a mirror), but if your mirror consists of six different fun house mirrors that are also moving about, it's a shitty mirror and it doesn't work as a mirror.
The premise of the comment is that monopolies can ignore negative reputation because there's no alternative. But that's not true for badly behaved corporations in general.

It might help to draw a distinction between investigative and explanatory journalism.

Explanatory journalism strives to help lay people understand complex topics, like this piece about how undersea cables are laid down:

https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/

So to answer your question...25 years ago? But while explanatory journalism is interesting and useful if the author is knowledgeable, it isn't the sort of reporting that people think about when they consider newspapers in the context of an informed electorate.

Investigative reporting involves uncovering an issue which the journalist believes should be corrected. The journalist's goal is to convince people that the issue exists, and to explain why it needs correcting. They don't necessarily need to be an expert on the topic to do that, especially if they can present convincing documentation of the alleged wrongdoing. For example, Glenn Greenwald was able to report on the USA's surveillance of its own citizens without being an expert on how the United States' intelligence agencies operated, because Edward Snowden leaked him a myriad of internal documents describing their programs.

It is a shame that nobody seems to do good investigative journalism anymore; the last good example I remember in the US was the WSJ's reporting on Theranos. But to be fair, if your country's citizens simply do not care about huge and glaring problems which barely need to be explained, why bother with investigative journalism? It's no longer an effective way to correct social issues.

In fact there are other things that are easier to understand in terms of normals, like the shape operator of a surface.

Misinformation is another thing entirely. The media shouldn't publish lies.

But if half the population reads "here's all the ways these guys are ruining the country", and other half reads "here's all the ways those guys are ruining the country", it's not obvious to me that's an improvement over reading nothing at all. Consumers of both outlets are being informed, but they're being informed in a toxic way which won't help them or anyone else.
There is also the issue of structural complexity. Today, extending the body by another 10 feet for a couple of extra rows of seats is mostly repeating a section that already exists. Yes, there are a lot of calculations around rebalancing and flight characteristics but the construction of the extended body is pretty straight forward. How do you create smaller and larger variants of this v-wing design? Not as modular.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: A systematic review
This is a generic financial news article that provides no value or insights, beyond "Don't invest emotionally".

"Rather than investing based on emotion, intuition, or pure luck, someone who dollar-cost averages invests at pre-planned times."
What times? Timing the market is notoriously difficult, without inside information.

"If you had dollar-cost averaged your investment approach back in March, you might not have invested exactly at the bottom, but you would have invested throughout the correction. Even if you had bought an index that tracked the S&P 500 at the worst time to buy in March (well before the market hit bottom), you would still be sitting on returns of more than 13%!"
How would you know where the bottom is? It's unclear what this comment is suggesting. The author could have picked an arbitrary time, and compared returns to another point in time, and have conveyed the same info.

"Semi-frequent drops in the market make great buying opportunities; however they are just that -- opportunities to buy more of the companies you love."
This is almost implying that when the market drops more than avg in a given time, it'll go back up to its level soon... But is devoid of an actionable prediction or specifics (Rate of drop, timeframes etc), presumably because it's a generic, unfalsifiable statement.

I started to build a "compact" handheld RasPi 3B+, but the driver situation for all the shield-like display assemblies I could find (including the promising-looking one I gambled on buying) was very poor. The best I could find was "download our special build of Raspbian", which is a showstopper for my priorities.

If there shield-like RasPi touchscreen open source drivers, mainlined in Linux, and also included in Raspbian and Debian, I'd like to hear of it.

(Blob-free would also be nice, though the RasPi itself has blob problems, so isn't as good as it could be for open source.)

> So like this?

Well, yes. I mean, we've had that in a more sophisticated way for the longest time via press agencies. They deliver the news to the media companies, the editors rewrite it a bit to match their audience's taste and add a bit of opinion, but the basic facts are the same. Sinclair was probably just too cheap to spend the extra few bucks to hire somebody to write 20 scripts that have the same content but aren't worded the same.

> So you'd rather live in a made up fantasy world as long as we all share the same made up fantasy world?

I'd prefer if we all shared reality. But we have a terrible hard time finding out what reality even is, and if you read any kind of media, you're certainly not learning about reality, you're just learning about whatever reality the media thinks is real (or wants you to think is real). And in that case, yeah, a shared fantasy is better than many fantasies. You can communicate about a shared fantasy reality. You'll have a hard time communicating when you don't share reality.
