I generally agree - I recommend friends get at least 16gb - but I also know many non-technical people who just don't value "high performance" as much as I do. I would never put up with the way their computers perform, but the

Those tests are what I would expect but I will say that I think most people who buy base configuration macs are not doing heavy production workloads like those tested. Doubling your ram is certainly going to be the most cost efficient upgra

I also love Patio11's writing - but the formal thinking in this space is generally within the bountiful sub-disciplines that exist between and within Anthropology and Sociology. James C. Scott is, among other things, an Anthropologist[

I never got it fully working either - it kept getting stuck on one of my dependencies, which happens to ElixirLS sometimes too.

NextLS also has an extension for VSCode![1] I've found the ElixirLS works best with the projects I use at work, but there's a lot of exciting language server development in the space. [1] https://marketplace.visualstudi

Yes - one way to deal with the fact that "software you can use forever" doesn't exist is to write more software whose source code you can update and just update that. However, that really just confirms what I am saying.

I am not sure this person has ever worked in a place without PMs (or people who do "the PM stuff") because nothing they are talking about is "about" PMs. PMs are, essentially, the people who sit at the center of: custome

I also develop Elixir professionally and I find the tooling to be excellent. I've seen some transient language server crashes[1] - but I wouldn't call it common? I personally dislike Credo, but it's very customizable, and you

Human connection doesn't scale! But authenticity isn't connection. You do not need to connect with someone to see their authenticity. I think the original sin of Elon-Twitter is mistaking popularity for authenticity - because by d

I am sure that you don't generally start with this scenario - but I have to say again that this is a common thing. People end up under cars all the time (in accidents). There is just no way anyone should excuse any company for "no

This is absolutely not a case nobody would have expected before? People end up under cars in accidents regularly. Imo any company that "found out" about this scenario through the cruise incident is guilty of gross negligence.

Things fall towards the earth. You can check that they do right now by dropping something. That things fall towards the earth isn't a theory - it's an observation. Gravity - the most popular explanation for why that happens - is a

Haha - I simultaneously wrote my own comment that recommended the same video! I think acollierastro makes really good, accessible physics content.

If you're interested in learning more I recommend you watch "dark matter is not a theory"[1]. We consistently, across many measures, observe the effect of substantially more mass than we expect using traditional understanding

I think that all makes sense in a narrow way but I think you are sidestepping the actual challenge of education. As the root comment pointed out - we already know that you improve outcomes by excluding low performers. Schools that can be se

I also hate it! But we live in a world where people are expected to have connectivity so right now those people simply cannot visit the cabin. If you are in the position to wind the connectivity clock back 50 years, please do.

by aeturnum 3y ago
With respect, I'd urge you to think about what you are saying. Most people who visit this cabin do want to turn off their devices. That's the goal. When the cabin was built, we lived in a reasonable world where being un-contactabl

This is exciting! My family has an off-the-grid cabin which has weak LTE service. Using Starlink is possible (and other people in the area use it) but the power demands are quite high. I was going to first try a 4g antenna hooked up to a lo

I don't think that's actually what it says though! The blog post talks about how no one looks at the data (implying that the data is not used) and it separately talks about the inconsistent and disconnected ways that companies all

But again - isn't the antithesis of this that the company never does the work to look into any of this and, in doing so, misses a huge but non-obvious problem that these tools might reveal? So you need to build it to do the work and ch

One of my great frustrations with the industry is that they've reduced us to this. It did not have to be this way. They could have built a system that allowed people to move media around on home servers, keep offline copies, effectivel

While I could certainly put most of this together from my undergrad CS education, I would not say this "subject [was] taught" to me during undergrad. Instead, as with much of undergrad, you get pieces of it along the way - but col
