I am (or was?) a huge Moxie Marlinspike fan, and highly recommend this video[0] of his from Defcon several years ago. It was formative in my understanding of privacy and security. That said, something here really doesn't add up. Being

Very impressive library! Is it still in the developmental stage, or do you know of anyone using it for real yet? Also, I love livebook! I keep a tab with it open and it has replaced my use of iex. Can you talk a little bit about how you dec

I feel like this happens with any item. For example, I've been supremely happy with all the Apple laptops I've ever owned, but have seen others with a litany of problems. Could it be that you got a dud with some sort of hardware p

No. For example train signalling which controls whether a train can do onto a section of track operates in a fail safe manner, where if something goes wrong, the signal fails into a safe "closed" state rather than an unsafe "

Oh man, you're definitely not dreaming. That really rings a bell for me, too, but I can't place it. Maybe one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books? Definitely doesn't feel like Three-Body Problem to me. Those were much more s

Very interesting! I like the idea. One sort of concerning thing is in the comparison chart on the page, the middle column (the TinyVG renderer) the images look a little blurry to me. Is that just a limitation of the renderer? I suppose sinc

I'm excited about the new code formatting abilities. In particular, I haven't yet found a good way to "format on save" changes in .heex templates, and hopefully this will change that!

I played a legacy game with a group of friends and loved it. We got together every week at the same time for about 15 weeks (I forget exactly). Each week, the core mechanics were similar, but the board changed and there were new goals and s

As far as I know the WHO's official position is still closer to "we still don't know a lot about this variant". I'm most interested to see how severe of a disease it causes. If it's less severe but more transmi

I think you're missing the larger picture of accruing blocks over time, and deciding what is the "canonical" largest chain. A miner can choose which block to build on. At any given moment Bitcoin can have several competing

Turns out this isn't true. A Boston subway station had a pretty grim escalator failure a month or two ago[0], where the escalator broke and the stairs started to free-fall backwards piling people at the bottom. [0] https://w

It's about the same magnitude of an issue as with guns, I think. In both cases you have the vast majority of people responsibly partaking, but you can't deny that their presence makes some things much worse. I think the dynamics a

Interesting YAML-esque syntax. I've always liked the idea of automatic variables, since seeing them in the array languages like J or K. I half wonder if the team felt any pressure to release the language now, ahead of Advent of Code...

Holy moly this is incredible! I'm not usually one to watch videos here, but this one was worth it (and pretty short). I'm amazed that he built a whole new browser to go with his OS.

Of course it would be correlated. Genes and environment and culture and family are all just one big interrelated mess. Is it even possible to tease the contributions apart, even in theory? I guess I could imagine a study, something like: lo

I get the garbage-in-garbage-out data side of things, but what I don't understand is how it seems to take issue with the idea that certain areas have higher crime rates. For example, how the new system looks like the old system because

Offtopic, but the article uses and defines "MAGMA", meaning Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. That actually makes a lot of sense to me. How did Netflix make it into the usual acronym and not Microsoft?

Wow! Didn't see that coming, but very interesting. When he says "the metaverse", does he mean Epic is working on one of their own? Or is it the one facebook is working on, and they have some sort of partnership?

Probably about knowing what you don't know, and acting accordingly. Like, I'm guessing that if you don't have a part of the sea mapped, and you can't use active radar, then you probably shouldn't be going through th

FYI in English "revise" means something like "edit". You probably meant "review". I know in Spanish "revisar" can mean to review, so that caught my eye, and thought you might be tricked by a false cog

So, uh, how do I undo my colorways selection? On opening after the new update it gave me a little panel to choose from, and I picked one, but I don't like it now... but I can't see anything in the settings to revert, or to try a d

What a fun read! I've never been to India but it's fun to infer what the reverse culture shock would be for me from the points here. Like, can you not sit on the grass at a university there?

Very pessimistic, but very true... I'd love to see a detailed analysis about - given continuing climate change - where the best places to live would be. This would be both geographically, in terms of climate, but perhaps also political

Thanks! No need to apologize, I'm not in your target audience, and that's fine. Was just curious, is all.
