Process groups, some solid performance tweaks to ETS and Mnesia, etc. It all got upstreamed or became redundant eventually. Rick Reed gave a couple talks about it around a decade ago if you can track down recordings.

From my perspective, this is a great outcome for a game-making attempt. There's no shortage of fun games coming out lately - far more than I have time to play. But these days they're largely made by amateur non-programmer indie de

It samples heart rate every 5-30 minutes in the background (for long term tracking and sleep), or continuously while you're asking it to do so, same as any common smart watch. There's a command to begin realtime heart rate reporti

From the little bit of research I just did before buying one, most people are reporting that compared to their more expensive trackers, the heart rate, accelerometer, and sleep tracking functionality are all pretty accurate (good sleep trac

Cool. Just ordered one (from Temu, $18) even though I already wear an Apple Watch. Love the idea of having something I can interface with directly and pull realtime data from without having to install some middleman phone app.

I don't think that complaint is even true. A quick glance at the Crystal stdlib source[1] shows that the mktmp implementation uses the O_EXCL mode, which will cause the open call to error out if the file already exists, and the impleme

I like the concept and the interface, but after trying one of the suggested examples, I'm not convinced this actually works? I tried "remote work" like the initial instructions recommended as an example. The graph it gave me

There are a lot of major security vulnerabilities in the world that were made understandably, and can be forgiven if they're handled responsibly and fixed. This is not one of them. In my opinion, this shows a kind of reputation-ruining

Can you explain a little more about where your "feeling" comes from? I preordered Lumina months ago and I drink fluoridated water, brush regularly with fluoridated toothpaste, and intend to keep doing so indefinitely.

Yeah, I mean the binary message format. It's not particularly complicated to parse if you don't care to handle all the custom logic for each RRTYPE. You parse a fixed size header, one section with a couple fields, and up to three
