It is code, but without any of the aspects usually ascribed to code. Abstraction, tools like dependency injection (fancy term, but simple and highly important concept), more complex looping (not just `for each item do`; `for each item do, if item...` etc. are needed).

Unit tests?

Not to speak of tooling support. I can write a Python application with the strictest type settings and have mypy do a lot of heavy-lifting for me, before even running the app once. A bit like Rust. Check out the typestate pattern for what I am on about. It's invariants enforced in the type system, by the compiler. Impossible to misuse: your code simply won't compile. All of that is impossible to have if your types are strings only, with the odd bool and float inbetween.

I will accept that we cannot have ops people be at least medium-grade developers, which would be needed to apply these topics (I consider myself an in-between, leaning dev). That's simply infeasible. It's two different worlds. I will not accept the premise that these things aren't objectively better though! They're practically inachievable, sadly (or at least a decade away).

So no, in that advanced sense, YAML is not code. And if you can do YAML, yes you will get Python syntactically correct with a little practice. That is only 5% of the way though. Note I'm also not advertising for Enterprise Java-level of code... but more than "YAML but in Python".

Here is the list of things that I feel are still holding Elixir back from wider adoption:

1. Not enough companies sharing their experience - most companies want to lead and not follow. There has been a lot of success with Elixir but too often I've heard companies not wanting to indicate they're using Elixir out of concern that it will tip off their competition (I've heard this from two companies now, big ones) or they just don't have a culture of sharing. The most impactful case study on Elixir was one of the first, the Bleacher Report case study https://www.erlang-solutions.com/case-studies/bleacher-repor.... They did an excellent job of articulating the direct business value of transitioning from Rails to Phoenix. We need more of these stories shared

2. Lack of talent - this is a chicken or egg problem but one thing that comes up quite often. If there were more companies actively hiring in Elixir there would be more devs learning Elixir but companies are reluctant to hire for Elixir because there aren't enough devs. Most of the courses/guides are aimed at transitioning Senior level talent. At DockYard through our Academy https://academy.dockyard.com/ we decided to tackle this from the opposite end and commit to producing high quality junior Elixir engineers.

3. Higher price point for talent - the recent Stack Overflow surveys regularly rank Elixir at the top for cost. Personally I think this stat is being influenced by the fact that Elixir has a higher % of more Senior level talent so the average salary will be skewed higher. But that nuance doesn't come through in the cost rankings. If true then as the ecosystem's talent pool starts to normalize we should see this cost average out.

4. Lack of off-the-shelf solutions - Objectively Elixir is faster to build and less costly to maintain than nearly every other tech stack I've ever used. However, because it is so easy to build something we have developed a culture of "just make it from scratch" too often. When newbies ask "how do I do X" questions like auth or something else in another tech stack that they can simply add a node module or a Ruby gem in Elixir most times we lack those pre-built solutions. So the actual build cost is higher because we can't simply drop that solution in and accelerate the dev process.

I've been selling Elixir services for almost a decade at this point and I'm still very bullish on Elixir. We, along with many others, have been trying to close these gaps. It's happening but the most impact anyone reading this can make that is using Elixir is to share your experiences. Write blog posts. Publish case studies. Indicate the reduction in cost, faster times to market, etc... these are the data points that are going to be most compelling and important in the coming decade.

Yes. I think this also comes less as a shock as the new generation of directors have a number of studios willing to give them a chance (including new studios beasically founded for a single director, or even single piece).

There are relatively few full-blown grocery stores in cities and the US often seems to mostly lack the scaled-down markets (eg Tesco’s) that are in between a convenience store and a full-fledged supermarket that exist in many urban areas.

This mostly sounds like a badly managed Splunk. If a 1200 line Python script is all you need to replace a Splunk instance, you weren't doing anything all that interesting or well in the first place.

That's kinda what im saying though. There is such a range of possibilities. It could have happened the day before and there was no way to know -> no liability

It could also be true that people tried in vain to get their attention about it multiple times over months and google didnt change it despite being made aware it was dangerous -> potentially some liability depending on other factors

It's also possible that the manager just didn't care whether you were guilty or not. By quitting and not coming back, you removed yourself from the equation, and so it's immaterial whether you were trustworthy or not.

There could be nothing more at play here than rational self-interest. You quit to preserve your life; this is rationally the best move for your risk-adjusted interests. The house gets to say (possibly very visibly - did you quit on the spot?) that the dealer no longer works here, which mollifies the customer, because the potentially-corrupt dealer is no longer in a position where they can influence outcomes. So it's the best outcome for the house. And then the hand has already been played, so the customer now has a sunk cost on their bluff, but you're gone, so at least they know that if you are corrupt, you won't be dealing any more hands to them. So it's the best outcome for the customer.

You don't need to trust people who aren't in a position to hurt you anyway. That's why walking away is sometimes so powerful: you just change a bad situation by removing yourself from the equation, and start over somewhere better.
I always drive at a speed where I can stop the car in the area of road that I can see. If I can only see 10 meters ahead I have to be able to stop in probably 5 meters of road, accounting for reaction time etc. So then I have to go very slowly. I have completely stopped the car because it started raining so heavily I couldn't see the road.

I am aware that many people drive recklessly. That doesn't change the fact that when they do so, they are neglecting their responsibility to keep themselves and others safe. When their recklessness has consequences, they have to face those consequences.

Maybe if they survive and are rational people they will look inwards and understand that they could have avoided it had they taken their responsibility more seriously.

This isn't a "no one does that" arm wavy topic. This is literally, in every sense of the word life and death. When you drive recklessly you endanger the health and lives of yourself and everyone around you. This is an extremely serious responsibility, traffic is responsible for the vast majority of deaths in modern society. Almost all of those deaths are caused by recklessness and neglect.

I have known many people who have died in traffic. Some due to their own recklessness, others due to others' recklessness. I also know a man who has to live the rest of his life with the burden of having killed a 15 year old girl on her birthday, because him and his buddy wanted to race on public roads.

I have absolutely no patience or sympathy for reckless drivers. Recklessness is a spectrum, obviously driving drunk or racing is more reckless than driving a too fast for the conditions but within the speed limit. But both are reckless. Both cost lives every day.

Also, much of the article is about waste in the hotel, which certainly seemed egregious but hotels are horrifyingly bad about that stuff in general. While we certainly use a lot of plastic (too much) in the US, I would not extrapolate from hotel waste to the rest of the country.
You can imagine, sure, but we were talking about proof.
I'm not the person you're arguing with, but going back to the original meta-point of this thread, I too think you're vastly over-estimating people's introspective power on their internal states, including states of knowing.

The distinction you're drawing between "guessing" and "being sure of something but being wrong about it" is hazy at best, from a cognitive science point of view, and the fact that it doesn't _feel_ hazy to a person's conscious experience is exactly why this is interesting and maybe even philosophically important.

More briefly, people are just horseshit at knowing themselves, their motivations, their state of knowledge, the origins of their knowledge. We see some of these 'failures' in LLMs, but we (as a general rule, the 'royal we') are abysmal at seeing it in ourselves.

When you are planning to ban gasoline-powered cars in 2035, as the EU is, you should not make the alternative more expensive, unless your aim is to reduce the number of people who can afford to own car. I suspect that is the aim, and when the public catches on in Europe and the U.S., the gas car ban may be reversed.

I've used it (no affiliation to the company).

I like it because it's easy. I'm not sure what the alternatives are, but I have the sense they'd all be more complex and more annoying to use (even if they might be cheaper).
I believe the idea is that the big customers are interested because everyone is raving about it. If you price out the smaller customers, there's nobody to rave about it.

Consider, for example, that Akamai's revenues are sitting in a plateau over the last 5 years, while Cloudflare is moving up.
There's nuance there too. I'm don't think I've ever walked into a hotel in the US without immediately having to turn down the AC; 30°F below ambient temperatures is not needed for mildew prevention.
Not astroturfing, just my take - I have no connection to the company. There's a section that goes into the licensing change a little more, but in my view, there's a lot of great stuff that can be learned from HashiCorp's approach to community from before the licensing change that is worth knowing about. If anything it highlights just what they've put at stake by making that move.

The title made it sound like the schools were installing malware on students' devices, but as far as I can tell this is just a central database bringing together data from different government agencies.

I'm not sure I see the problem with schools getting an update that a kid was arrested by police or that their family is on food aid or something. Schools in my area need to know which kids are living in poverty because they send home backpacks of food with them over the summer.

This is so divorced from my experience. The only Jira setups I have been with that worked were ones where we were actively diminishing its use in the company.

Small companies where only a small(er) unit of people use Jira (cloud) is fine, large teams, large workflows, selfhosted or cloud: doesn’t matter. It was always terrible.

We actively discriminate against Jira in our company at the moment, and for us it works pretty good. But that is because it is not essential and we do not lean into it.

For comparison, here are the numbers I found in UberEats: 1 pack of 8 bun-length Bar-S hot dogs, $1.59. Total delivered with tax etc. $7.03. The delivery fee is $2.49, which obviously amortizes across more items.

Also, unlike the gas station, this store sells fresh produce.

$269 billion, if true. Amex normally charges more than other credit cards. Let’s say 4%, so they’d gross $10 billion in fees. That’s… that’s a whole lot of money for a single card.

It's not clear whether you're missing the point on purpose or not, so I'll just come right out and say it; his guilt for any crimes of which he is accused is entirely unrelated to how sensible the proposition is that entities ought to be able to completely shut down people on every social media platform by accusing them of something and then immediately demanding that they be demonetized by these platforms.

> Well, 5 miles down the road makes it not a food desert, so there we go.

Not true. Unless you live in a truly rural town with less than 5000 people, you are counted as "urban" and any more than 1 mile from a grocery store is a food dessert.

I am 5 minutes from a grocery store and technically in a food dessert. Its silly.
There are no practical carbon-capture storage technologies. I'm aware of at least one project by major engineering firms into actually implementing it - a serious attempt, by serious, experienced engineers, to make it work - that ended recently after years of effort with a final report that basically said "This doesn't work. Here's why..."

It's useful to the energy firms to keep the promise of CCS alive, but even if you have perfect capture at the point of generation, the problem of actually keeping it sequestered at any useful scale is unsolved.
Graylog looks like a good competitor. Certainly won't scale as well, but I've had good experience with it.
That would be my objection as well.

I think we're talking about very different levels of scale. Enterprises are generally feeding tens to hundreds of thousands of datapoints into Splunk depending on their size between servers, networking gear, endpoint devices, etc.

It always amazes me when corporations just break the rules on such a scale, they get a pass or in this case (and others) have the red carpet rolled out.

If a human being were to illegally download an ebook (for their own reading pleasure), they can get an invitation to federal prison. When a corporation downloads all the ebooks and uses that information to train an LLM (for their financial benefit), they get an invitation to the White House or Congress.

I wonder if the authors would have more quarrel with the former or the latter?
"gradual typing" is exactly how I code Julia.

Disclaimer: this is not how to the strengths of Julia are normally described by most people, it's just how I think about it.

You might have heard that Julia solves the two language problem (easy as python, fast as C++). But exactly how does it do that? In python you don't have to care about types, but even if you were willing to care about types you wouldn't get any performance benefit. In C++ you have to care about types, you don't have the option not to, even when you don't care about performance.

In Julia you don't have to care about types. You can code it exactly as python. But if you are willing to you can care about types, and you'll get a huge performance benefit. So, the way I code Julia is on a first pass I code it like python. I don't care about types, I just care that it's correct. Then, after it's correct, and if performance is critical, I start thinking about types. So Julia very much lends itself to "make it work, make it right, make it fast", by allowing you to gradually introducing types into the parts of your code that matter.
That will always depend on how good of a criminal you are. Whatever you do; don't be greedy.
That’s pretty hard to do. Out of curiosity - how old, and how did the brakes fail?
