I'm sorry to hear you got frustrated with this task, but to be honest, I don't think it would be representative of how it feels working with Elixir or Erlang. It's like sitting down with zero experience to an IBM mainframe and trying to accomplish some routine administration task, setting up mandatory password rotation policy or whatever. It'd feel frustrating and difficult for sure, but it doesn't tell mutch about the mainframe. Especially since it isn't even a design goal for it to feel similar to the Windows or Mac OS your familiar with.

When it comes to node names in the schema, you have to change them, but there's actually an example just about this piece of task in the docs: https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/mnesia_chap7#backup,-...
I find the term person to be key here.
The better question should be why if there is bottom limit for age of candidacy, why there is no upper limit. If candidate needs to be adult at least 14 years he should be also at least 14 years away from average retirement age (63) so he will be productive, thus upper limit should be 49.

Personally I wouldn't be so strict and let run anyone adult in productive age from 18-68 to avoid having there people with dementia like certain democratic president.

What I would make another condition for all politicians is they must work at least few years in private sector before running for office, I don't really like we are often governed by people who "worked" whole life in comfort and safety net of their gov funded job with no risks and productivity requirements detached from experience of majority population. They should also pass basic test how much cost milk, bread, etc. and how to deal with daily scenarios.
I'm not sure I agree with the first one either... I kinda can guess what BigQuery does - probably something with querying a lot of data, so if that's what I need to do, I'm going to check it out, but if not, I'd ignore it. But what does Splunk do? Who knows. Which of the projects with names Beam, Mahout, Samza and Flink I'd need to read about if I need to store and query a lot of data? And after I read about them, would I remember year later which of them does what?

Just wanted to say that I have only ever played golf once and have no real interest in it, but I still clicked on your site and went down a rabbit hole. This was fascinating: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-jun-11-me-peren...

Great feedback. Noticed this as well. Just pushed out a change where the notification shows a loading bar and remains until the search ends.
you realise that "mnesia" means "memory", hence "amnesia" for "no-memory" ? So Mnesia should be the most reassuring word you could get from a db.

This is a total aside from its technical considerations mind you, i usually do not advise mnesia :)
Of course, but what he's saying is that you don't generate currency as a side effect of running your dedicated heater. Whereas the inverse is true with mining - you generate heat as a side effect of running your mining setup. When that's desirable, it can be factored into the net cost.
Absolutely absurd. I haven't touched it for 13 years, and just received an email that they will be billing me $31.25 with 6 hours warning. This, of course, is a few hours after an email saying that my "free subscription" will be expiring in a month, not within hours.

The kicker is that the billing FAQ 404s, the "account URL" 500s, and there is no apparent way to log in to the account that they are billing me for.

At this point the best I can do is hope they don't have any real PII to try to collect their bullshit bill.
Is advertising to people without money a good business?
third. there was another mining boom back in 2014 when it was bitcoin being gpu-mined. It fucked with AMD's Hawaii/290X launch really badly back then - the cards were unobtanium for months and months which gave NVIDIA an opening to launch Maxwell. Then the prices crashed and miners dumped their inventory, so you had new aftermarket 290Xs being sold for $250-300 to try and compete with mining cards, with used/refurb 290 non-X bottoming out around $175.

I'm sure the idea that infinity cache decreases the relative mining performance was in everyone's minds at AMD when they were designing RDNA2 - by that point they'd had two major launches (vega too) fucked up by mining, and using more cache/less VRAM bandwidth makes your mining performance worse relative to raster, because mining loads aren't cachable.

On the one hand, the first youtube video I uploaded got 16 comments and about 1000 views in 50 days. Obviously this isn't "viral" but it's a lot more engagement than I've ever gotten with blogging or microblogging.
I highly doubt it. As "reduced" as RISC-V is, 8051 is still tiny in comparison.

As a current Microsoft employee, I agree the Edge content screens don’t fit well with our values. Given the tiny revenue generated it seems like a bad investment. Raising it as a values issue in the positive “I thought Microsoft would be better than this” way seems likely to have the most effect if enough people do it.
It's interesting that if you commit crimes or harm, whether intentional or not, but in the aggregate, at scale, etc. that you can get away with it or just be fined. Be a single employee that accidentally or intentionally leaks information, particularly company or government information, and you'll be sued to oblivion. Or imagine being a lower or middle class person charged with a crime or have a civil suit brought against you and all you get is a like $20 fine.
In that case you should very much be in support of this research.

At least there's a meaning of word "book" that matches what it does. So once you learned what it does, you can make a mental note of "ah, those books". Imagine it was named FluffyTurtle instead. Good luck remembering what it does even if you already looked it up 20 times before. And not confusing it with SparklyCamel, which is an inventory manager for plumbers.
Yeah, that also looks sus to me. According to my very limited understanding of how this works, compressor-based systems (actually more like phase-change systems) only have to pump heat energy from one place to another. Peltier systems have to do this while also fighting thermal conductivity from one side of the module to the other. Intuitively, the latter probably generates more waste heat...

Perhaps using a "paint" that generates power is an option? Something that can be layered onto a surface, has high durability and converts sunlight to electricity. Some problems arise immediately, e.g., routing of current, safety, etc. But its a metaphor that might be useful.

I think you’re understating what “quiet quitting” is. It’s doing your job according to your express obligations, regardless of how you’re being treated. It’s not half assing it. It’s just… also not double assing it. It isn’t new, but it’s a perspective I think I’ve seen misrepresented enough times that it deserves clarification.

Well I have no experience in Erlang -- only checked it out a few times and I like that Elixir removes some of the more manual aspects of Erlang (like manually exporting functions from a module).

So, why Elixir (and partially why Erlang):

- (Erlang + Elixir) Transparent parallelism. This is not a joke. You're a function + closure away from multiplexing stuff on all your CPU cores (or even more e.g. it's OK to have a limit of a worker pool be 100+ for e.g. network workers).

- (Elixir-specific) A lot of tools around fault tolerance and supervision trees. You can have static hierarchies and you can have dynamic ones (spawn children, have them do work, have them shut down). You can register green threads by name and enforce limits on how many of them are around, you can also load-balance work between several nodes.

- (Elixir-specific) Macros: you can generate code at compile-time which is extremely useful if you want to limit the set of values that you'd work with at run-time. Example: the Unicode functionality of Elixir is actually generated by macros that basically do a `for` loop of all codepoints / graphemes and utilizes pattern-matching on each value. Super tedious by hand, extremely trivial with macros / code-generation. Useful in many other scenarios as well e.g. you can inject code in a receiver module with macros.

- (Erlang + Elixir) Pattern matching. While the languages sadly have no static strong typing, pattern-matching helps a ton e.g. interacting with remote APIs you can match on several expected responses and report everything else to your monitoring system, leading to very effective and prototype-friendly development process.

- (Elixir-specific I think) Flow control. You can basically make pipes of functions exactly like all the classic UNIX tools allow you to. I've heard devs scoff at that a good amount of times... same devs were like "OMG how did I live without this so far?!" a few days later. :D It makes for extremely elegant and readable code that allows near-instant onboarding (or reminding oneself of the code they wrote a while ago).

- (Erlang + Elixir) Built-in in-memory cache. The ability to not care about Redis / memcached is a much bigger deal than many suspect. Granted it's a single-node only but honestly? Never mattered in my practice.

---

There are others but this comment became huge already. Main selling point for me as a senior backender and aspiring sysadmin is the extremely easy parallelism and very terse code (that's owed by the piping mechanism of Elixir). The ability to structure your app as a tree of supevisors and workers (that get auto-restarted on failure nonetheless) is a very close third.

Elixir absolutely isn't a silver bullet -- f.ex. it sucks for CLI apps because the VM takes no less than 0.5s to start -- but for a ton of server apps it's up there in the top 5-10 with Rust and Golang.
Yes, I agree it is tragic that we have built a system where it makes sense for students to think in these terms

I tried searching for what kind of GraphQL support they offer on their repo (which is an advertised feature) and it still seems to be a WIP, though you have to kind of dig through the readme to find that out. Same problem with the full-text indexing feature, as another user here mentioned.

Merriam Webster defines nepotism as "favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship"

In this case kinship does not mean family. You have a kinship with your PI, you have a kinship with your school. The favoritism is the act of bypassing the hiring processes available to people who do not share kinship with you.

If you want to argue about "kinship" meaning family, MW defines it as being "the quality or state of being kin". The example sentences are "Despite our close kinship, canines and humans are quite different", "He feels a strong kinship with other survivors of the war", "feelings of kinship between the team's players and their fans". None of which mention any familial relationship.

If you think that getting to skip the normal submit CV/resume to a website and hope for the best, and generally go straight to an in person interview is not favouritism I can only assume that you have only ever done one or the other of those options, and so have no awareness of the immense advantage you get by not just being one of thousands of resumes going through recruiters that are doing randomized keyword searches, and just getting to sit in an interview and answer questions.

This is nepotism: you get an advantage over others in the hiring path based not on your abilities, but based instead on just having the correct connections.

So if you happen to have a PI with a former student now working at X, and the PI forwards your resume directly to them you have an advantage over everyone else, who does not have that relationship (kinship if you will).

Similarly if you go to a school with former students at company Y, and those former students come to collect resumes at your school, you have an advantage over people who went to schools without that relationship.

If you go to church and another person there works for company Z, and you hand them your resume, and they then say "let's interview him" you have benefited from a relationship that is unavailable to others. This last one is a direct example from my personal experience. As an interviewer I was looking at a resume that would not have got past the normal application phase, and even if it did this candidate would not have got past a phone screen.

Now it's important to realize that if as a candidate you can get to an in person interview I would estimate you're already well on your way to an offer. Interviews are not a perfect system, and you can be a fairly middling candidate and get an offer. I'm not going to say you have to really blow it to get rejected, but you sure as hell don't need to be a perfect and amazingly flawless person either.

> As OP stated, the GN video makes it clear that the margin on this was, in many cases, negative.

No - the margin is in many cases negative, right now, with high-end GPUs 50% below MSRP. This is an important distinction.

Margins were great for 2 years, EVGA's GPU department made tons of money during that time even with a few gestures towards the public. He lost tons of money during those years with frivolous, high-R&D, high-ongoing-support-cost ventures like entering the motherboard and enthusiast monitor market.

The easiest way to find out when a professor got tenure is to look at the last time they did a major update to their website. The last papers they decided to put up there are from 2014 and then they simply linked to a Google Scholar? This is a very strong predictor.
I don't think somebody would be more confused to learn that payment service also deals with fraud (which is something a lot of people are aware of - every payment service on the face of the planet has now warnings about fraud) than having to deal with "Picard is not connecting to Bilbo because Legolas is refusing to pass KrumpleSnitch to Kthulhu". In fact, I'm not sure it's humanly possible to be more confused than dealing with something like that.

And if you having a payment system that starts doing something payments systems traditionally don't do - like, I dunno, predict weather? - then you have a design problem and should refactor your system so your payment system doesn't do that anymore.

In my personal anecdata, writing a thing down is an important mechanism to note and recall facts I’ll find important later. I nearly never consult my notes. I’m even a terrible note taker, and always have been. I write things down in random places which normally I discard as they become clutter, just because the act of writing them is an additional point of recall when I might fail to recall otherwise. It doesn’t always serve me well, but it always serves me better than not making the note somewhere.
Plus heavy math if not using an engine or if it involves more than what the engine provides.
There's nitpicking and then there is just making up technical definitions of words that aren't widely shared.
Just imagine the amount of compute, mechanical and human, that's spent trying to force people to watch ads that they don't want to see to convince them to buy things that they don't need.

Alternatively consider planned obsolescence. Devices are designed to break and be replaced rather than last today, as a rule. Consider just phones alone on this front. The amount of resources that consumes is unimaginable, and that goes well beyond just electricity or manpower.

Ultimately our entire society is built around the largely arbitrary expenditure of absolutely massive amounts of energy and resources to accomplish tasks that, in most cases, are not especially useful or necessary. Optimizing GDP, a goal of most all developed nations now a day, is often just a proxy for increasing waste. Buying the same phone 20 times gives a 20x boost to GDP relative to buying it once. And yet this is the metric we've chosen as a measure for progress.
