It has many files because it brings in Erlang and its executables. Then Elixir and its executables. And then it adds some scripts to invoke those. It may make more sense if you think of releases more of a bundle, that includes all tools that you have and may need in prod.

Theoretically speaking you shouldn’t need to worry about any scripts except the ones you have in bin/.
Yeah, exactly. Even though it is costly to deal with, per kilogram, there is very little of it when compared to amount of energy produced. An atomic plant might use couple dozen tonnes of fuel which is peanuts compared to the amount of waste from coal power plant.

There are no technical problems with storage that we can't solve. The biggest problem is that nobody wants it around.
> are you similarly upset that software companies are charging different amounts of money for different tiers of a software product (e.g. Microsoft Office Home vs Professional), even though these different tiers are only enabled by a license key?

Is there anyone who isn't upset by that?

Two interesting things to see here, of many. They are really planning the sites to be temporary compared to the solar/wind/ and other industrial power plants that have little or no plan for returning their sites to the original virgin soil. And two, they seem to use a molten salt loop like in concentrated solar to meet variable demand without changing the power level of the reactor, which you can't really do because of Xenon poisoning. So it's like a natural gas plant in its ability to deliver power, but clean and holds 20 years of fuel inside the reactor.

How do you think it compares to services like webcull.com, raindrop.io, or getpocket.com? Have they advanced the field to the point that it's worth switching?
It never occurred to me that the Great Red Spot would be shrinking. It's logical that storm systems are dynamic (and finite) things, but I find it striking that in another hundred years, people may never think of Jupiter as having such a dramatic feature. And who knows what new ones may have developed.

I suppose that's as much a commentary on how short a time we've been able to witness these phenomena as more than dots in the sky. Especially relative to the timescale they operate on.
From what I've seen in DOD systems, there are generally common structures that hold data for the entire application. The entire application has to know about these structures in order to function.

Take ECS [1] as an example.

In order to create a new entity on the system you might need to talk to a location component, a health component, a velocity component all to register a brand new entity on the system. Now, you might have an entity creation service that hides those creation details from you, and that's fine. But you need to make sure as you are talking to each of the component you are doing the right thing.

This is the coupling.

The traditional OO approach here would be to create a new entity with health, position, velocity, all contained within the same object and potentially referencable via a common interface for each.

Now, for ECS in a game there are definite benefits to this coupling. For example, it is a LOT easier in games to create universal systems which handle the physics for all objects irrespective of object type. Further, composing behavior onto entities can be much easier. You are free from a strict hierarchy. There's a reason this approach is popular there.

Now consider a very simple rest webservice. Now imagine trying to do that as an ECS system. You might have one component that is the header component and one component that is the body component and an entity that contains both. Now imagine processing that entity through the system. Who would be in charge of making sure all the right interactions happen at the right time? Who would be in charge of responding? Who would be in charge of deleting requests that had been fully handled? I'm sure that's all possible (I wonder if anyone has tried it? could be a fun side project) I'm also sure I'd very likely not want to deal with such a system, no matter how fast it is. It would be unreasonable to try and figure out all the life cycles of everything.

For business applications with a lot of rules to follow, this sort of system would be nightmarish to maintain. It'd be almost impossible to track down what is changing what. You need a lot of gatekeepers because the goal of business apps isn't to enable novel and unexpected interactions, but rather to very explicitly define what happens when and why. For a game, those novel and unexpected interactions are a huge boon and a feature. They make games fun!

As a side note, the coupling of ECS systems is one thing that makes it hard to properly thread games. That's because you've got this globally shared mutable state being accessed through a ton of systems throughout the game. It's frankly impressive that games are threaded at all!

If there were components of commonly consumed foods that turned about to be inhibitory to the virus' action (infecticity or replication), and these foods were unevenly consumed across the population, would this read out to an epidemiologist looking from a birds-eye view similarly to "immunity"?
"This can only work on new cards" or "we're only whitelisting new cards" aren't necessarily dick moves but saying "This can only work on new cards" when it's really "we're only whitelisting new cards" is.
And this is the reason things have changed so much:

Step 1: first, identify truly evil people (like self-avowed white supremacists)

Step 2: find a unfalsifable or weak method to associate non-evil people with the evil ones.

Step 3: once this method becomes part of the zeitguist, infer the association implies agreement.

Step 4: once agreement is assumed when stating the association, imply the person's agreement is in the realm of intolerance or hatred.

Step 5: once a person is assumed to have hateful or intolerant beliefs due to the association, 'intolerance of intolerance' kicks in and it's no longer considered ethical to do anything other than push that person out of the public sphere, or, as this comment does, claim they are not free to hold their beliefs quietly. (despite the fact, of course, that these beliefs aren't the ones they have, but the ones projected onto them via the tactics of the previous steps.)

Through this mechanism you can pull anyone you want into the realm of being cancellable or ostricized, once you find a suitable associative vector. The vectors being used today are quite weak, such as being seen in a photograph with someone, sharing news from a website of a particular political slant, or even using a specific phrase.
We do not know that. The are several promising vaccines in stage 3 - that means R&D is over for them and has been for a while. If in the future we learn they work then the problem today is scaling manufacturing/delivery not R&D. Of course if it turns out they don't work then R&D remains the problem. We don't know which future we are in today.

5x is order of magnitude larger. Quote:

Generally, the order of magnitude of a number is the smallest power of 10 used to represent that number.[2] To work out the order of magnitude of a number N, the number is first expressed in the following form:

N = a × 10^b

where 1/sqrt(10) ≤ a < sqrt(10) . Then, b represents the order of magnitude of the number.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude
I did this in PHP once as well. I had to code a coupon lookup site where people entered coupon codes and they were verified against a database. I forget how many coupons there were... pretty sure it was less than 100,000.

Anyway, I coded it up in my local dev environment. Unfortunately, it turned out that I'd been mislead and the actual deployment environment didn't have a database server available.

In desperation and facing a deadline, I dumped all the lookup values into an array in a PHP file. As you said, it was really quite performant. The first request after starting the server was a bit slow (but not too bad... still < 10 seconds I think) and after that things were golden.

I felt a bit dirty, but things worked and we got paid.

Cleveland’s Disastrous Release of 1.4M Helium Balloons
It's a bad suggestion for this case [1]. The ... would have to be `impl Iterator<Item = String>`, because the function would not have anything to return a borrow from. That is exactly the problem the original article was trying to avoid in the first place.

[1]: And arguably a bad suggestion in general. If a fn needs a String, it should take a String. If it needs a &str, it should take a &str, and if the caller has a String they can call the fn with a borrow. fns that are generic on AsRef<str> are usually only found where the ergonomics make it worth it. Eg the standard library's filesystem functions often take AsRef<Path> parameters because string literals are AsRef<Path>, which means you can write

fs::read_to_string("/etc/passwd")

instead of a more cumbersome

fs::read_to_string(Path::new(OsStr::new("/etc/passwd")))
The name being childish is not really relevant imo. What's so mature about "google" or "facebook"?

A number of people did die because of the Fukushima evacuation, though, through things like interruption of medical care. And if there hand't been an evacuation there would have been a few radiation deaths. The total is still only 10x the number of air pollution deaths you'd expect from a coal plant providing the same number of megawatt-years and very few nuclear plants melt down but lets be accurate.
Sort of; the underlying WebRTC protocol WebTorrent uses encrypts the data in transit, and the data never hits the server.

Downside is that the sender, or someone else who has completed the torrent download, must keep the page (or their WebTorrent client) running for the share link to work.

If you count excess mortality then California has 60% more deaths than registered covid deaths, as can be seen here.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/05/us/coronaviru...

If we take that into account then California actually has more deaths per capita than Sweden, and people are still dying in California so it will only get worse. So I agree their strategy was not all that good.
God help me, I cannot stop myself from laughing every time I see a @yahoo or @aol e-mail address on job applications/resumes.

Bonus laughter if it's something massively inappropriate. Some e-mail stems from the last position search (this is at a college, granted it is an entry level position, but it's still a college): cuntcrasher, c00rslight, bigswag420, trideltaFcups, and my personal favorite, milfhunter9inch.

These are supposed to be professional people. This is real life. This is real. I can't wake up.
As for the above example: they are called attributes. Here is a list of attributes: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Attributes

> The concept of attributes is pretty unique to Ada. Attributes allow you to get - and sometimes set - information about objects or other language entities such as types. A good example is the Size attribute. It describes the size of an object or a type in bits:

type Byte is range -128 .. 127; -- The range fits into 8 bits but the compiler is still free to choose.
for Byte'Size use 8; -- Forces the compiler to use 8 bits.

I find it particularly neat.

Of course one of the best things I love about Ada is pre- and post-conditions or contract-based programming (that are actually checked, unless in languages like Kotlin that just bolted on some contracts that are just there for the reader, i.e. pretty useless, to be honest). Ranged types are awesome, too, as you tell the compiler the range you want and the compiler chooses an appropriate sized integer to suit the range, which is the important bit. For example, instead of asking for "16-bit signed integer", you say: "I want a type which can store values between -1 and 1000", and maybe even a hint for the compiler where you can ask the compiler to pick you a faster type or a smaller type, so you say:

type Index is range -1 .. 1000;

Types like these are much more readable, and you can use attributes on them such as 'Min, 'Max, 'Range, and so forth. It is such a good feature, and you can remove the range checks if you want, and you can even have them checked at compile-time. These kind of features are what I would like to see from a C replacement.

They didn't, oddly enough! They were as surprised at the outcome as most everyone else was, and had more intended to put the expected Clinton presidency off on a bad foot. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/06/putin-a... is fairly on the mark about their goals then and now.

American coverage on their efforts was by and large terrible, at least from major outlets. Focused analyst coverage in the space has been a lot more nuanced, but nobody's reading that without an existing personal or professional interest.

The other half of that analyst coverage is that they rapidly became quite tired of Maddow and friends hammering on a very simple narrative that missed the point, but was very effective at achieving its actual goal, keeping consumers of major media on the left-of-center end of the American political spectrum engaged in their content and bringing in continued advertiser money. That tiredness is relegated to water cooler discussion on Twitter, however, so it's not going to shape major outlet coverage much.

I'm sure there are, but I haven't needed to use any modules so far, so I have no perspective on what kind of challenges they present. But with Jekyll you could get into dependency issues just trying to go through the tutorial and launch a blank template of a site. You didn't need any extra functionality on top of Jekyll to begin to dealing with dependencies.
As with learning any language, immersion is key.

This is very late intermediate stage - to put yourself into having to read "Japanese."

I would only do it after knowing and writing/speaking Hiragana and Katakana outloud, several times, written it over and over and listening to songs (or any text, but songs have lyrics and it's easy) over and over and doing the lyrics over and over to kick in the muscle memory.

My secret, really, was learning the kana via Kyary Paymu Paymu songs. I enjoyed them, but, after doing that, over and over, the alure was lost and it took me about 3 years before I could listen to Pon Pon Pon again. But - the repetition in the song drilled down the kana for me.

If you already know Kana, then basic vocabulary/grammar. There's a great app on the Android App Store called "Kanji Study"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindtwiste...

It's been further tweaked and is more refined then what it used to be, but the memory games are super useful for both kana and N5/N4 Kanji - the basic of the basics.

As for playing with a game/any game, it all falls together after a while - you see the pattern, you "get" the idea, but I would use a dictionary such as Akebi on Android or Jisho.org (Jisho literally means dictionary.) or even translate.google.com and each word you don't know, add it to a unique list and study/drill those over and over.

Soon it will come together. It's very slow at first, and painful, even though I could read Kana and had N5, I suffered reading the "warning" screens on the 3ds even though they're for kids, some of the words did not make sense, but the context was implied.

That's it, as for the games:

Pokemon is great, Zelda is also great, but if you really want to excel -

Karaoke.

You can go to youtube, and find karaoke songs to listen too - the 3dS joysound app stopped/died, but it's still on the WiiU and on the Switch and it is excellent, it offers near 100% furigana (except for very very simple kanji) and being forced to sing along makes you vocal quick.

You can also youtube "karaoke battle" or general karaoke after songs.

"カラオケバテル”

”カラオケ”

I personally enjoy lots of J-pop (which made learning the language much more easily/motivated) so I used songs I knew such as Tatsuhiro Yamashita

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rzBvkcHUz4

山下達郎 RIDE ON TIME （カラオケ）

And then just drilled on that as if it was memory cards or study drilling.

Pokemon games are good, zelda is great. Mario isn't per se as there isn't much "text" The inkling for a bit of puzzle makes it more that you need to "understand" what the meaning is, as it's different in English.

Context is much more inferred then stated in Japanese.

As a developer, I am already aware of similar open-source packages like magic-wormhole. The code/tools themselves don't solve the problem, though. I had my non-techincal mom exchange sensitive documents through Send but I'm never going to get her to use magic wormhole, and self-hosting is too much hassle for one-off documents.

I'm aware of dropbox etc but if my both me and my mom don't already use them, there's friction to create an account and pay.

I'm not sure whether there's a business model for a standalone hosted version if Mozilla themselves couldn't make it work (and I presume they gave it thorough thought)
They have in-ground ‘drains’ that you can pipe to another area of the property or to a basin w a pump to remove the water.

I can't speak to any plans re: auto-verification but we are always looking at improving our dashboard UX. Big things coming there. I should also add that we have direct relationships with almost all of our registry partners now. Even Google Domains, Route53, and Cloudflare don't support a lot of TLDs and/or resell some core TLDs through resellers, not directly through the registries. It's important for many reasons.

> We do have a term: slow to learn to read.

There are dozens of reasons a child can be slow to learn how to read. They could have not have access to education. They could has poor eye sight. They could be malnourished. They could have difficulties learning in general. Dyslexia means "Slow to learn how to read, despite no obvious influencing factors." It's a bit of a catch-all. There might be treatments for dyslexic children that also help other children learn how to read, but it's likely that non-dyslexic children will need treatments that will not apply to dyslexic children.

Dyslexia has more than 3 million cases in the US every year. It's common. When given the right treatments their quality of life can be improved greatly. I do not want to remove the classification of dyslexic, because it might jeopardize the way those children receive treatment.

EDIT: "Dyslexia has more than 3 million cases in the US every year." You can see the dyslexia in my writing style right there....
This is something I think as well. But what's stopping manufacturers from putting 4G chips inside of it?

I have no clue how trivial this is. But I'd assume it is, in which case you're only really "safe" if you open it up and inspect it yourself I guess.
Seems like their claim to "Ultra Safe" is actually merited based on a first principles look at the power density. They claim 1.24 W/cm^3 versus 20-40 W/cm^3 in normal reactors. The high power densities mean you have to be able to cool the reactor, even when you shut down the reactor because reactors take a long time to actually turn off. With such low power density, it should be no problem to cool down the reactor. It'll just cool down naturally, like a hot pot. In fact the metric to look at would be power per core surface area.
In cases like this, the generic function cannot return an Iterator of &str that borrow from the input because the input is being consumed, so it's a bad suggestion. The input needs to be &str to be able to return borrows from it.

If they had tried to complete their code and compile it, they would've noticed there's no way the function could return `code.as_ref()`.
