I think most people like uni, but it's also one of the most expensive sushi you can get at kaitenzushi

Salmon sushi is very popular, but it's not part of the traditional Edomae style (fish from the Tokyo bay), so the more upscale or traditional restaurants often don't serve it.

> you don't get bugs related to typing because elixir is somehow magic

Really? All the Elixir fans were saying that?

I love the BEAM and programmed on it for many years, but it really does not provide anything like durable objects.

1) It's very difficult to ensure globally serialized ownership with strong consistency in a distributed Erlang cluster when nodes are allowed to fail. Stuff like Horde will let you do some rough "run an instance of this process somewhere in the cluster", but it's eventually consistent (you may have multiple instances at times) and doesn't deal with netsplits well.

2) Mnesia is fine to replicate state within a network switch or very reliable LAN, but not over WLAN/Internet. It can enter split brain conditions and require external reconciliation. RabbitMQ suffered from Mnesia problems for many years and ended up replacing it with their own DB implementation using the Raft protocol.

The same is true without CDC, and you can configure a maximum size.

It's still referred as such through the official documentation: https://www.erlang.org/faq/introduction.html#idm24

It'd be a pretty horrible system if it was possible to get anyone you dislike tortured for a month by mailing them CSAM they didn't ask for...

That second hash is called a Message Authentication Code (MAC), it's what the JWT HS256 algorithm does

The purpose of the checksum is to help secret scanners avoid false positives, not to optimize the (extremely rare) case where an API key has a typo

He's obviously not saying that you can "trust blindly" any PQ algorithm out there, just that there are some that have appeared robust over many years of analysis.

These kind of things are part of transparency log threat models, for example: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6962.html#page-24.

You're describing a transparency log, which doesn't require a blockchain.

Sometimes it's impossible even with an account. I can't search in English on my phone in Japan. If I go into options and change the language, the moment I click OK, it switches everything right back to Japanese. I know multiple colleagues who've had the same issue for years.

It's incredibly rude, and wrong, to assume that a woman was hired because she "checks off a bunch of HR checkboxes" rather than skill or hard work when you know nothing about her.

An iolist isn't a string, you can't pass it to the uppercase function for instance. It's really meant for I/O as the name implies. Regular string concatenation is optimized to avoid copying when possible: https://www.erlang.org/doc/system/binaryhandling.html#constr...

Do you mean because it's distilled? Distilled water is perfectly safe to drink.

> According to federal reports, the contractor ingested some of the reactor water before being yanked out, scrubbed down, and checked for radiation. They walked away with only minor injuries and about 300 counts per minute of radiation detected in their hair.

One-time pads are not vulnerable to gardening.

Personally I found the article informative and well-written. I had been wondering for a while why Claude Code didn't more aggressively use sub-agents to split work, and it wasn't obvious to me (I don't build agents for a living).

I've done a lot of Erlang and I don't see the relation? Supervisors are an error isolation tool, they don't perform the work, break it down, combine results, or act as a communication channel. It's kind of the point that supervisors don't do much so they can be trusted to be reliable.

If you dereference it you get back an integer, not a variable. A variable is a name that identifies a value; the pointer points to the value, not to the name.

There's a free tier, and various paid tiers: https://github.com/features/copilot/plans

That's a pointer to an integer.

> There, the reference to `i` is being mutated.

That's rebinding. Mutation is when you change the state of an object. Variables are not objects. You can't have a reference (aka pointer) pointing to a variable.

It's a wide field so it depends on the specialization. I did computer engineering 15+ years ago and we never touched SQL, but I think the software engineering people did have a class on it.

I think you're confusing mutation and variable reassignment?

I recommend https://ferd.ca/the-zen-of-erlang.html starting from "if my configuration file is corrupted, restarting won't fix anything". The tl;dr is it helps with transient bugs.

I think you're absolutely right about this being a wider problem though.
