I thought they changed from glowing Apple to reflective Apple

This is like saying you do not have to use semicolons in JavaScript

So they’re bidding crypto because they can’t bid houses no more? /s

Is it not November already? :p

This is an impressive article, & is incidentally why every sane set of rules has administrative discretion in its enforcement

IMO live demo is better in some cases, but if there are complicated or time-consuming steps where the prerequisite can not be met quickly, a recording would be better

Current levels working for all who have established a position before July 2025. Of course, it can go to 0 tomorrow. lol

I remember engaging in extensive discussions with folks and at the end we just agreed that the purpose of this is number goes up.

This is horrible news. Zigbee has been trouble-free and Thread has been nothing but Trouble to the point I had to throw out everything based on Thread…

some of the tests and standard answers are strange such as the one with debounced function not considering whether there should only be 1 arg / the dev could use the arguments keyword and call, the filter numbers question insisting on === instead of == etc etc.

I second the recommendation for IBKR which quotes FX rates at market compared to Wise. When the sum is higher, the differences can be drastic.

As long as you run an active trading account with them it should be fine for occasional cash movements.

Agreed. There is no alternative to thinking. However a good collection of conventions, primitives & building blocks, can assist greatly in architecting a robust system.

We do test systems to the point of breakage. It is not something we skip just because the language is good.

As to existential risk:

I will try to be succinct. If there has been no exposure then there is no need to hedge.

Further, there are commercial firms which will maintain your critical systems. In other words, a long term maintenance contract for Elixir systems can be procured from more than one source.

Indeed, I think you are quite right, and we are in agreement.

Regarding numeric stuff. I discussed this matter with some folks and it was quite interesting because just like Erlang/OTP was used at control plane for phone switches while the data plane was implemented in something else, one could theoretically leverage it to oversee ML processes (perhaps Python programs written with PyTorch or something else)

The topology is exactly the same

In fact, porting your vetted numeric code to Elixir is probably going to make the risk go sky high, but running the same code with supervision structure in Elixir would in fact reduce risk so is a no-brainer

Just my thoughts of course

Indeed. This was covered later in the article on characteristics that may alter the perception of a high-leverage toolchain…

More good & relevant information + libraries -> more acceptance (i.e. my use case is no longer a tech uncertainty)

The other thought would be that if you didn’t have to do anything yourself then you must have no moat.

I think robustness is best managed in layers

Databases have WAL -> Systems have task queues

The executor itself can fail, if the job is not lost :)

WhatsApp did a lot of work in this area, and I would encourage folks who are interested to seek out information related to that.

There is also Lasp, which is very interesting: https://lasp-lang.readme.io/docs

Phoenix LiveView uses JS because the core of the tech requires the server to compute diffs & the client to patch the DOM accordingly. This is why a JS package is needed alongside the other default package from Phoenix, which brings Phoenix Sockets & Channels capability (which builds on top of transports such as Websocket).

I’m fine with it

You can share it elsewhere if like

You need a video matrix such as:

This is old news from August

I have a few favourites

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Erlang/OTP?

To be fair it is more likely that this will be used by existing enterprise customers of SAP who otherwise would consider migrating off.

In that sense, it is not a very good version of the future. https://egpu.io is a good resource to get started on this. The 4-lane (sometimes only 2-lane) configuration of Thunderbolt 3 controllers, the overhead of the protocol and Intel’s insistence to reserve DisplayPort and USB bandwidth has made TB3 slower — 22Gbps maximum in a 32Gbps port hosting graphic cards that are usually electrically connected at 128Gbps (PCIe 3.0 x16).

I am going back the other way now, after having used an external enclosure for years.

This is so strange.

- FedEx is slated to report its latest quarterly results on Tuesday (17 December 2019). http://investors.fedex.com/news-and-events/upcoming-events/d...

- FedEx ended two big contracts with Amazon earlier this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/amazon-blames-holiday-delive...

Edit: I see many unhappy comments regarding FedEx here. In the UK we have Parcelfarce, which has achieved meme status.
