I'd actually characterize it the other way around: Elixir and Beam give you most of the benefits of serverless with better portability and lower costs. Also, meta: don't worry too much about where people tell you the industry is h

Yeah, `with` is pretty much this.

So on top of the other great suggestions here, I can share a trick that has helped me to get me past periods where I was feeling either depressed or stuck or anxious or otherwise not my best. If I have a decision to make ("Should I go

Australia has excellent solar availability. Northern Canada does not, half the year. Smr seems like a good way to serve those who can’t use solar, but solar is so much cheaper than nuclear that it’s mostly not worth the hassle. We just h

I think Meta is probably here to stay, but you're right Microsoft should probably be in there. So, GAMMA.

The way things are trending, it's going to be FAAG soon, which is not so good. I guess, technically, it's not F anymore, so it's MAAG, which is almost as perilous. But if we're truly being technical, it's not G, i

No, he's been on the record admiring NASA and the FAA, even auto regulators, and has called for regulation of AI.

I think this is a result of the persistent flawed way most companies look at management. The author points at it when he says that most managers are strong in execution, and that's true — it's viewed as the baseline trait for any

He is openly pro-sensible-regulation in all of the industries he's a part of. If he's a libertarian he's certainly not our normal caricature of one.

My two cents here: I read every contract we were offered and if there is one thing I learned it’s that everything is negotiable despite how it’s presented. If you can articulate a reasonable need, reasonable people will listen. Lawyers ar

@Stunting your perspective in this thread is very valuable, and the best thing that streaming has done, much better than old-school bundling and certainly better than piracy, is encourage a boom in interesting content, and I'm very gla

It's not that everyone can or wants to run their own Plex setup, it's that the Plex model, once set up, is much more consumer-friendly: Get the shows you want, don't care about the distributor. It's probably naive to th

We love Great British Bake Off, but the proliferation of horrible knockoffs on Netflix is embarrassing. Just to name one example. They feel crass and paint-by-numbers. I appreciate it when these services take a risk on something weird, but

This website is full of "we want to" and "we plan to" statements. Something like this would of course be extraordinarily useful but it smacks of free energy scams.

The Chinese supply chain barely existed, relatively speaking, 20 years ago. It can be rebuilt the same way it was built: piece by piece. That’s what’s happening. Whether it’s a good thing geopolitically remains to be seen but diversifying d

Caltrain itself is fine, though not the fastest. But the connections at the suburban end are terrible making it not as useful as it might be.

There's a huge difference: in Bush v. Gore, Gore stepped aside for the good of the country, choosing to respect the institution of the courts even if the decision was dodgy. Trump is willing to burn down the institutions if it gives hi

Yeah and I think that’s also why this conlang uses it. Having an explicit “be” enables simpler grammar and is much easier to learn. Nominative case is sort of an implicit “is a” in context and without cases that falls apart.

This is Putin‘s excuse but it’s so damned tragic. NATO and the EU have precisely zero interest in preemptively invading Russia and haven’t since 1991, as he well knows—in fact he’s counting on it. All of Russia’s “security” issues are of hi

China is has a much weaker military and smaller nuke arsenal. Tangling directly with Russia is incredibly dangerous. China too, but less so.

IANANS but my understanding is that neurons/body mass is more indicative. Large animals have more neurons because large bodies need more.

Lower launch costs could enable cheaper R&D for the satellite itself by enabling more testing of components in orbit rather than trying to nail the calculations ahead of time.

Interesting that there are no smiths or millers on that list, given how common those surnames are.

My observation from running a consulting business is that there's a gap in the market that I have not seen meaningfully solved. On the one hand are these no-code tools where you can do something reasonable in a very limited domain. W
