A lot of the Erlang-y error messages that bubble up into Elixir can get pretty gnarly. Earlier today I accidentally tried doing `Map.get(key, map)` (map should be first arg) in a `&handle_call/1` callback on a GenServer module, an

IANAL. Correct me if I am wrong, but an investor's main interest to make money. They want you to succeed. If for some reason they are just milking you for information, remember you aren't under any obligation to tell them all yo

As a pro Tesla techie+investor, I'm willing to pay up to $N per share for Tesla. The more below $N it is, the more I feel I'm getting a better deal. That doesn't have much to do with how much I believe, or don't believ

This makes me happy. I flew from Istanbul, Turkey to San Francisco, CA, USA while the ban was in place. The actual surrendering my laptop didn't bother me much. What did bother me was the humiliation the Turkish Airlines workers had

Do it for yourself. If you're doing it for the attention, that's a pretty tough row to hoe. If you get lucky enough to attract an audience, then you ride that wave! At a minimum, producing quality content demonstrates mastery of

Someone cripples the device for me in a user friendly manner that doesn't require me to think about which apps I should avoid whenever I visit the app store.

That's kind of my point. Trusting someone else with the key works for as long as they want to be your app babysitter. The smart utensil plays that role in perpetuity, as being the babysitter is basically the business model.

I predict someone will invent a smart utensil. It will be a smartphone-like device that has a curated app store which only includes utilitarian apps. It'll contain all of the apps people think "I'd love to ditch my smart ph

Quite frankly it's impressive that Imgur turned into a serious thing. Crossing the proverbial chasm from "Hosting pictures to post on Reddit sucks, so I'm gonna make something!" to where they are today is amazing to me.

To clarify, I'd love to see a raw text list of just the packages, without header text and/or other things.

I'm not sure. I've never used apt-cacher-ng, and it's not in Debian. It'd be more accurate to say I'd like the ability to create a local mirror of all remote repos, not just caching repos I've downloaded. So
