> On a contract worth $10bn does tens of millions really make a difference?

In government contracting, if cost is supposedly the formal deciding criteria, yes.

The allegation isn't that the cost amount was significant as a value amount, but that it's one of many examples raised of the DoD allegedly making decisions for which pretexts are offered that are inconsistent with the facts.

The laws of government contracting don't allow the kind of arbitrarily moving goalposts that Amazon’s description of the DoD behavior would indicate, and the reason it doesn't is as a safeguard against corrupt political favoritism with contracts as patronage.

Focussing on whether the cost qua cost is significant in isolation is focussing is missing the forest for the trees.

> not knowing BEAM can result in serious problems

No, it can't really. I'd even say that Phoenix largely uses BEAM and its genservers under the hood "so that you don't have to" and still be able to reap their massive benefits.

You'd be perfectly fine (and it's not uncommon) writing a production app without writing a single genserver (kinda the cornerstone of BEAM) yourself, and you'd still get a highly performant web app that can handle a ton of concurrent traffic out of the box.

Then you can take it from there, deepen your knowledge, and write your own genservers and other BEAM goodies where and when you need them. Phoenix can guide you from the very basics, helping you write apps in simple fashion very much like in Rails, Laravel, Django, etc. It just has a larger range of possibilities on the upper end, letting you build massive high-traffic services, if you need to.
Hmm. Why do you think they would lead to misuse via functions that take too many parameters?

I understand how this is a problem but I’ve seen more than one function in C that takes 4 or more parameters.

Methinks it’s more a product of being an inexperienced coder and not being able to model a domain appropriately. The huge benefit? If you do need 4 parameters you can at least read them / understand them if they are named!

My point was that luminance and chromacity fulfill a very similar function in UI design besides size or shadows, they bring elements forward, make them stand out. An item with low chromacity therefore isn't on the same Z level as an item with high chromacity if you think of the foreground and background as a 3d space that you can use to guide the eyes of users. It's the function for the user experience that counts, at least for me.

It might happen elsewhere too, but we just don't know about those instances. The 24-hour constant breaking news cycle is perfected in the US, and some of that bubbles up to HN, whereas similar events from other countries doesn't even make much "news", much less make it out of that country.

Plus it might simply be that because US public discourse has become more polarized than that of other countries.

Don't know what they though that my involvement in open-source projects would correlate well to e-commerce CMS work (I've worked in e-commerce dev well before opening a Github account). But it's probably some weird "tie breaker" decision given that I am not local to LA.

> Supply chain control has zero to do with this practice.

This is a completely separate issue—I don’t know Apple’s rationale for this practice.

The issue we’re talking about is whether there are reasons to do it at all, and I still think there are obvious benefits for customers to making it difficult to put defective or dangerous batteries in their devices.

(Just to reiterate, as a technical consumer I’d prefer to be able to swap batteries myself. But I get the tradeoffs that Apple is making, and whether they make sense or not for a given company is a complicated decision that I don’t feel qualified to judge.)

Mainstream journalists are not a good source of information. The WSJ and FT are a great source for business news (for which they have to be good) but that's about it.

Journalists are on the cusp of losing their jobs and it's the greatest thing that could happen. For decades, perhaps centuries, they are propaganda arms but now every man with a camera is a better cameraman and every man with a blog is a better writer.

Newspapers are doomed. Not because they transformed into liars but because what they can give us can now be given to us by others much better and we don't really need the lies anymore. In their effort to stay relevant they have tried to be more opinionated, but if I just want you to give me your opinion I could get that from smarter people on Twitter rather than some guy who barely knows how to read and write sleep-deprivedly rewriting an AP/Reuters text - which in itself is about 95% bullshit anyway.

Perhaps only sports journalists need professionally exist.

There are still people who fall for the broken media, though. And fortunately, that is a good thing for the rest of us. While HN celebrated the "discovery" of SuperMicro's "spying", I loaded up on cheap SMCI. Keep doing what you're doing. Making money is all the sweeter this way because someone else is losing it to me.

This is pretty easy to identify and fix once you know about it and how to look.

To identify:

erlang:memory() shows unexpectedly large word count for binaries.

Crawl all your ets tables and look if referenced_byte_size(Binary) is significantly larger than size(Binary) (you need to check the keys as well as the values, and you'll need to write something to crawl through your complex values, of course)

If you don't find it there, it's probably references held in processes. You can crawl processes with process_info(Pid, binary), but it's a little tricky because the value you get back is undocumented.

If you find a lot of memory used by binaries, the solutions are all pretty simple:

a) if it's binaries held in processes, and those processes really don't hang onto binaries, just receive and send them, and you're running older erlang (before 19?), try to upgrade --- there's a GC change around then to include refC binary size when checking to see if process GC should run.

b) anywhere else, do StorableBinary = binary:copy(Binary) and store StoredableBinary instead of Binary. This gets you an exactly sized binary (heap or ref-counted), instead of a binary referenced into another.

Parsing larger binaries (like JSON) is one way to get these overlarge binaries, but they're also pretty easy to get with idiomatic code like shown in the efficiency guide[1]; when the system builds a appendable refC binary, it makes appending efficient, but storage inefficient.

This would explain why if you had 1,000 people connected to your site through Live View, you would have 1,000 stateful processes running on your server. That would be 1 GenServer for each connected client, each in their own universe with their own un-shared data / state.

Which may, legal or not, be a legitimate basis for complaint, but even if so it wouldn't mitigate the utterly indefensible and clearly corrupt (if true) conduct by the government Amazon describes after the selection criteria was set.

Contracting officials corruptly collaborating with Amazon to set the criteria doesn't excuse the DoD subsequently corruptly ignoring the selection criteria to hand the contract to Microsoft as political retribution based on the President’s animus toward Jeff Bezos.

I think we're on the same page, just different paragraphs. I think I get the gist of your line of reasoning.

Let me try an analogy for the if True case. Gravity (P=NP) exists, and always has. But we didn't understand it a few hundreds of years ago. Before we understood it, we didn't have interplanetary rockets (Efficient Markets). But we do now, and they were never outright impossible before our understanding of delta-v and other aspects. But before we had that understanding, we just straight up didn't have rockets.

Meanwhile if hypothetically gravity was, perhaps stronger or more pervasive over longer distances (P!=NP), it could have stopped interplanetary travel altogether and we would have never have achieved it.

We are just in an equivalent time period to that time in the 1600s before we understood, one way or another, what was ahead of us. If markets can be efficient in the future, they could always have been now and in the past. We just didn't have the tools to figure it out.

I used vim for more then 5 years then switched to VSCode as it makes plugin setup much easier. I also use VS and JetBrains here and there and maybe I am biased, but I prefer code at this point.

Yeah, modern IDEs got some stuff from modern editors for sure. One of the primary pain points for me is that installation/setup of IDE is much more lengthy, they are pricey too - I can setup vim/code in minutes on empty machine. Just downloading/installing VS takes a bunch of time. This however has nothing to do with efficiency but counts overall.

> There are Ace Jump [0] plugins for most IDEs. imo, easier to use and more powerful than stock vi navigation commands.

Ofc not, I prefer to have a GUI, I just don't think analog controller like mouse is good way to interact with it.

That might have been a real thing when people did things on servers directly etc. Today there is almost 0 need to do so.
