We chose elixir in 2016 for our product and never regretted it.

Apart from application bugs we’ve caused, it just keeps chugging along and working beautifully. It’s never once been the bottleneck in our stack.

Finding people has not been tough at our scale, and they’ve been good quality.

We are just scratching the surface with OTP. And between that and the data processing tools, we know we can handle pretty much any scale.

Deployment is nearly as crude as it was 5 years ago though. We use distillery and edeliver. We are moving to docker containers soon.

We use Exq for background jobs and have processed 75 million in a year without a sweat (most of that in the last two months). We handle 55 million requests per month on t3.mediums. We are looking to switch from Exq to Oban but I’m nervous about whether Oban’s Postgres based architecture will handle it. It’ll probably be totally fine.
Web 2.0... Don't forget the TAG clouds!
If you only use wooden or plastic utensils, you ought to be able to get more than "a couple of years". I have been using my Tefal frying pan and wok since 2010 and the coating is still there and still perfectly intact.
Probably because Anguna was a homebrewed game, whereas most other ROMs would be copyright violations if they were offered directly online. In theory, to legally run a ROM, you would have had to buy the original game, so OP would be opening themselves up to legal troubles to offer ROMs directly.
Regardless, the moral of the story is this:

To hack and shut down infrastructure does *not* require penetrating the actual infrastructure. Instead there are (likely far more vulnerable) "support systems" that if compromised will have the same effect. Why pick a hardened target when a soft one will do?

It's like arresting Al Capone. He didn't go down for all the violence, etc., instead it was tax evasion.
Do you mean the Hasek puzzle which starts Kb1 for white? Rh8 doesn't change the approach for white here, in fact the move order is exactly the same. You want to block the rook with the king for one move so that the white king has enough time to protect g2 before the rook arrives.

So move order (as I see it) would start:

1. Kb1 Rh8, 2. Rh6 Kxh6, 3. Kc1... etc.

The real fix is taxing revenue, not profit. The 50 shell companies here are surely useful to Uber, but the core problem here is that Uber is at least on paper non profitable, and therefore doesn't owe taxes. The fact that it plays some kind of shell game is likely due to the fact that the concept of profit depends on how the boundaries are drawn, and it wants to ensure that it controls those boundaries, such that no part pays any taxes.

Overall however, in the current system used pretty much worldwide (I believe?) it's reasonable for a loss-making company like Uber to not pay any taxes. The problem is in the approach, not really in the ridiculous shell companies.
It's Google, so, no?

This extension does not "appear to be from Microsoft". It merely mentions Microsoft in its title.

But the fact that the developer was allowed to call themselves "Extensions" is worrying.

If the 100M iPhone breach wasn't Apples Fault, this couldn't possibly be MS fault.

Both were due to deficiency of a service.
I'm in Southeastern PA and am super excited to see them this year. I was camping two weeks ago in central PA and hiking last week and haven't heard any yet. I've gotten super into ambient audio recording and really want to record these bineurally so everyone can enjoy this bizzare, loud phenomenon.
Thanks for the heads up. Just when MS started offering login form filling from MS Authenticator ...

(At least for me that popped up a couple of days ago, when I used the real Authenticator app for some MS authorization in my phone.)
Some differences are not quite clear.

But interesting idea anyway. Thanks for sharing this.

It also doubled as a nice bomb shelter. You never know.
> Well considering they are usually used by corporations/capitalist firms to avoid all kinds of responsibilities to society, I seriously question your lack of critique here.

No they're usually used by basically all companies that aren't tiny.

> institutional terrorism that is going on on a daily basis

Ummm...

> They are gaslit with propaganda

Eh take a hard look in the mirror. The marxist hate machine has never helped anyone.
Often, when people say 'I couldn't (or cannot) hear the difference' they are not, or have not, been a/b'ing or making other technically meaningful comparisons. It is effectively saying, 'when I listened to the mp3 it sounded the same as when I listened to the lossless'. These are aesthetic remarks, which also count, but they may not be of value for everyone else.
>This has nothing to do with government bureaucracy, and everything to do with malicious, criminal cops. Don't confuse one for the other.

This has everything to do with government (or otherwise, bigCo is not immune to this) bureaucracy.

Diffusion of responsibility, conflicting process, etc. etc. are how this kind of behavior can persist. These cops can do this crap and remain employed because the pile of bureaucratic process that distills everything down to (mostly) objectively evaluate metrics and therefore "doing your job while being a dick" doesn't negatively affect them.

It isn't just police that have this problem. Every regulatory enforcement agency has this problem to various extents.

> Nobody was worried about that mortality level at the time

They were sufficiently worried to increase cigarette taxes, ban advertising, educate the population to stop smoking.
Why are you amazed about that?
Excellent! Another fun thing I came across:

> During typesetting, individual sorts are picked from a type case with the right hand, and set into a composing stick held in the left hand from left to right, and as viewed by the setter upside down. As seen in the photo of the composing stick, a lower case 'q' looks like a 'd', a lower case 'b' looks like a 'p', a lower case 'p' looks like a 'b' and a lower case 'd' looks like a 'q'. This is reputed to be the origin of the expression "mind your p's and q's". It might just as easily have been "mind your b's and d's".

The history of typography and printing is lovely.

It’s not safe, but a neutral comparison is to compare all users over all timescales. As such an infinitesimal number of alcohol users OD very early on but that’s extraordinarily rare. Chronic use is relatively common, and while not generally deadly for decades has significant issues.

By comparison even clean opioids are more deadly long term. Pot has different Heath effects but is not safe when consumed to excess with extremely heavy users facing mental and physical issues, which can for example result in cancer or traffic related deaths.

Which again isn’t to say alcohol is safe, but rather heavy drug is generally bad independent of drug type.
The giving pledge is blatant fraud, pure and simple. 0% of billionaires are upstanding, they are all exploiters and vultures.

The signees haven't even made any moves towards actually giving away a significant fraction of their wealth, their collective wealth has more than doubled over 10 years. Add to this that the majority of donations have been given to private foundations[¤], and that donations to charity are tax-deductible, means it really is no more than a giant tax scheme, under a thin veil of "charity".

[¤] Often family foundations, which pay salaries to family members of the donors and don't disclose where the donations actually go.

Once again, it is impossible to amass such wealth (a significant fraction of any country's GDP) and keep it, without extracting an extreme excess of value from the labor of others. You cannot become this rich by simply "working hard", you cannot amass such wealth through any kind of individual labor. It can only come from the mass exploitation of the labor of others, from not paying people the fair value of their labor.

Pretending to give away a tiny portion of that to charity, after the fact, is like putting a Hello Kitty band aid on a massive gaping chest wound. Ineffective at best, and in reality an abject insult.

The fact that we know that we could make the world better, by taxing corporations, capital gains and inheritances much higher, yet refuse to do so, is a scathing condemnation of the callous and inhumane nature of capitalism.
Heh, to be honest we stopped there too. Our first time English breakfast was in Greece. I thought it funny that so many restaurants in the city had it on the menu. Felt a bit bad for ignoring the local cuisine, but it was quite tasty.
Good question! Will investigate!
Palestine is not a country. Never has been. Its just a geographical area first established by the Romans, and always handed down to another country.
Getting hang of functional programming takes time. Writing code elixir way requires unlearning what you have learning from imperative languages.

Since I haven't heard that anywhere else , I'd assume it's just FUD and not a meme (unlike "BSD is dying" https://everything2.com/title/BSD+is+dying).
I've had an niche event ticketing Elixir/Phoenix app in production for 4 years and have had next to zero problems. It gets very bursty traffic (100s of simultaneous users when an event opens for ticket purchases with load quickly tapering off in a negative exponential distribution) and the load average barely changes with insanely fast responses on a $10 VM.

I think the only downside for me is having to squint sideways to figure out how to convert a complex SQL query into Ecto. I've been writing SQL for almost 30 years and I find myself dropping into using Ecto's `fragment` too often. I've been meaning to pickup "Programming Ecto" to educate myself more (https://pragprog.com/titles/wmecto/programming-ecto/).

I've done my share of RoR apps too and the nice thing about Elixir is there is very little magic and what magic there is (mostly via macros and code auto added via a `use` statement) can be seen and changed directly in your code instead of being hidden in some gem somewhere.
It’s extremely annoying.
The US has a really quite unique judicial system, and in many ways ultimate sovereignty of the USA resides in the Supreme court. That power has filtered down to lower courts who make various rulings that will shape what things the higher courts consider on appeal.

A crash and deflagration is not an explosion.

An explosion has a reaction front moving faster than the speed of sound. A deflagration is a rapid combustion, but without the shockwave.

Sufficient quantities of aviation fuel --- in the case of piston-powered craft, petrol rather than the heavier and less volatile kerosene of jet fuel --- especially when mixed with or dispersed through air will burn quite vigorously. Unless specifically contained, they won't actually explode. Even combustion at high pressures within a piston's cylinder is more a combustion than explosion.
"Here it is more about how you treat the proven guilty."

That is a part of it.

"Cops laugh about “probable cause on four legs” but the damage to innocent lives is real."

This is the first sentence in the article. So I think this the mention of innocent until proven guilty is something to talk about concerning the article. The system treats you like a guilty person and stacks the deck against you. I think the plea bargaining that you mention falls into this. I would add that prosecutorial and law enforcement discretion is probably the biggest area of abuse. Because of this, bad laws stay on the book and can be enforced with bias because many people think "oh they wouldn't charge me with that". For example, in my state you can be put in jail for 90 days for your dog getting out of your yard. If it happens twice in one year, it's a misdemeanor. Pretty insane really, but people don't care because it's only enforced sometimes and they don't know how serious it can be.
If you're going to use the term statistically you should probably back it up with a source citation.
Those, plus Multi-account containers, and Violentmonkey for a small number of corrections to websites.
Sure, they exist, I believe you can still buy a geforce GT 710 for about 50 quid. I have a ryzen server at home, my old one had a 710 in it, but I upgraded to an asrock rack mobo that has an integrated IP kvm / ipmi bmc, which is a pretty good option for a real server (mine is just for home though).

> Go has its flaws and tradeoffs, and simply things that can and will be misused but you don't see articles that promote them as something that should win you over some other language.

I disagree there. I can think of two examples of things I consider very easy to misuse in Go, but are promoted by the community as being the superior solution to problems in articles and posts all the time: Go Error Handling and Go Code Generation.
Except that unreal and nreal have significant overlap in their target audience.
Solar water heaters are among the easiest renewable technologies available. It is literally as simple as a container for the water that is painted black. For something done professionally it is trivial to have a hot loop that keeps a well-insulated storage tank at temp. With a bit of effort you can even reclaim some of the heat from the shower waste water.

I wonder what kind of PIM: very simple row operations, like OR/AND/NANDing two vectors; or etching a close-by CPU in the same process like UPMEM [1] does.

As an American, I say that the media IS important. That’s why its all too frequent bias and sloppiness is so problematic.

Where I live, false or exaggerated headlines are the norm. Scary headlines are lucrative! If we can’t depend on the media to do its job right, then who does that function?

And even with helium-buoyed airships, the US could not make them work safely and effectively.

Explody lift gas is only one of numerous failure modes of lighter-than-air craft. Handling in winds, structural stability (the frames are at the very limits of material science), limited lift capacity (the only very slightly greater density of helium has a disproportionate impact on payload capacity reduction), all impose severe limits.

Wishing away problems doesn't.

Dont make the mistake of thinking that the crap that was the pure gnu toolchain was in any way equal to what was available for those who could afford to run commercial unix(tm), it was an completely different world that Linux would not catch up to until the 00's mostly by absorbing frameworks and software from the world of commercial unix(tm) and from more recent developments.

I dont think i can recall any commercial Unix even shipping gcc back in the day.
Laws are neither complete nor free of contradictions, and they don't have to. They are the result of a consensus among members of society that has grown over centuries. Democracy is significantly based on trust, transparency and comprehensibility. Legislation is subject to the permanent challenge of finding a balance between regulatory density and manageability. And even if it were socially feasible to rewrite all existing laws, to formalize them, and to massively increase the density of rules: the set of rules will always remain discrete, and it is a naïve assumption to want to fully capture the continuity of human action with a discrete set of rules; there will always remain an unspecified residue that requires human judgment. Striving for a perfect system fails merely because there is no universally accepted definition of a perfect system; and societies in which an attempt was made to realize the utopia of a perfect system were usually totalitarian or became totalitarian in a short time.
Nature running its course.

I live in the same state as The Twelve Apostles [1], a famous group of limestone stacks on the coast of Victoria, Australia, south-west of Melbourne.

Just up the road, there is a formation that was called London Bridge - a limestone formation protruding out from the land, with two stacks, making it a double-span bridge.

Then one day in 1990, the bridge section adjoining the land collapsed. Two sightseers were on it at the time, though mercifully not on the part that collapsed; they were rescued by helicopter after a few hours.

It just so happened that this collapse occurred during the high school year when we were studying limestone cliff formations in geography class. I remember our teacher impressing upon us that it was a geologically regular and normal occurrence, but infrequent in human life terms, so we were lucky to be able to observe the event just at the time we were studying the phenomenon.

Since then they've called it London Arch [2].

I disagree that your alternative is assertive, and that the former is inherently rude. It's only rude depending on each person's social communication expectations. Otherwise, it's an assertive statement, and like any other, it could seem rude. I find it rude when people are passive aggressive, but they might feel like it's polite.
Putting it on the officers is bad. They then tend to lean back and not take the personal risk.

You need clear guidance about when they have to arrest somebody and when not. And only secondary a system where abuse can be punished.
I tried with Vice, REU, Turbo @18mhz and Ozmoo.

Running Anchorhead was impossible, and even V5 games such as Vicious Cycles ran borderlinely unusable. I mean, playable over a lag of 8-10 seconds after inputting the command, but it gets tedious fast.
Of course there's a subjective component.

Design choices are intrinsically subjective but also perfectly valid. Subjective doesn't merely mean that all choices are equally valid and it really doesn't matter which one you choose.

"Subjective" in this context means that you can't mecahnically use simple measurements, properties or heuristics to analyze correctness. That's perfectly fine. It's what designers are trained for and paid to do.
So maybe to explain myself: I'm used to scan through the homepage and open link and comment side by side for a few things that I think are interesting to me. While reading through it, I might get interrupted. So I might come back to a link a few hours later. So lets say, I open up the extension page and forgot the initial context. So for me, it could theoretically happen that I install this extension cuz I assume links posted at HN to be safe.

0. Find all the climbing groups on Facebook and join them (also make a list in Sheets / Airtable)

1. Start adding value to the community. Do NOT talk about your product.

2. Optimize your personal Facebook page to drive people who view your page to your website or landing page

3. Be active, create a brand around you, not your product

4. Add value --> people click your profile --> they see your banner image --> they click through to your website. You might be successful linking to the homepage, product page, 'our story' page, but you may need to create "thought leadership" on climbing. The goal of this thought leadership is to indoctrinate your audience into how you think about climbing, build authority, and drive people to your email newsletter, Facebook Group and product pages.

5. Send website visitors to your own Facebook Group about climbing (also give them a reason to subscribe to your climbing newsletter)

6. Start hosting AMAs in your group with famous rock climbers that have their own audiences. Being seen with these folks will turn you into an authority.

Because I have 'an audience', I can now reach out to the leaders in my field and build relationships with them by offering them a platform --> to my audience.

Without this audience, they probably wouldn't reply to my emails / DMs.

I've used this strategy to grow my SaaS from $0 to $135k ARR in about 4-5 months.

If you make 100$ and spend 150$, you have revenue of 100$, no profit and a debt of 50$. So you'd have to pay taxes on the 100$ from your -50$.

I stopped playing at the "skip" dark pattern.

"Correct" is used subjectively here, which is awful since the word has a connotation of objectiveness. It's "correct" if your intend is to trick somebody into not clicking "skip". It's incorrect if the intend is to show to equally valid options to go forward.
Absolete ?

Million of people still use them both for personal and commercial use, especially medium/large format cameras. If anything they're the least likely cameras to get obsolete and the ones with the best proven long term usability. A 15 years old digital camera isn't really enjoyable anymore while a 40 years leica M or nikon FM are still mechanical beauties

There isn't much to repurpose, a film camera is basically a dark box with an advance lever and some form of shutter, can't really get much simpler than that. Most of them have interchangeable lenses which can be used on modern cameras very easily.

I'm still using my dad's 1978 Nikon FE every few days, the same that took my own childhood pictures. I'm actually selling my 2k$+ digital camera to go back to film only

I have a friend out almost $10,000 for simply being innocent of a DUI charge. (Breathalyzer and blood test were both 0%, and he does not take meds or do drugs.)

This is what we get when we over-rely on armed agents and the legal system to fix far too many societal issues. That’s a result of too many fear-possessed people simply voting their fears.
