Autodesk is at least boxing in the same weight class, but I do think Adobe is worse.

For creation, yes, because of the provenance of the training data that got us here. It was acquired unethically in the overwhelming majority of cases. Using models derived from that training is laundering and anonymizing the existing creati

Most of the Elixir in Production posts on the official blog (including this one) come off this way, IMO: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/categories.html#Elixir%20in%20P... It's pretty much just appeal to authority. &

Already, it's difficult (not yet impossible) to install software outside the confines of Apple's app store. My installation of arbitrary software onto my MacBook via Homebrew, Nix, mise, downloading a DMG or .pkg via browser, or

Are you thinking of this, formerly known as Lumen? https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly AFAIK it's been mothballed and one of the major contributors seems to have left the BEAM ecosystem altogether. They're

I care most about perf/responsiveness as I navigate the site. GR was tolerable on this metric while I still used it, StoryGraph (for understandable reasons) is abysmally slow somehow. I have the same complaint about BoardGameGeek. If i

I would say that jujutsu is at least as compelling as Pijul in conversations where either is valid to implement. Migrating off of Git cold-turkey is a high barrier for some, and jj lets you defer that requirement via high-quality interop.

BEAM hot code deploys are a vanity tactic in most business verticals, not worth the time and energy to most - nor are they something you can feasibly implement at a polyglot organization. Rolling deploys behind an off the shelf load-balance

These are the stacks they offer consulting for. Not really any mystery left after that.

Elixir is an unintuitive inclusion for praise on this topic, to me. We have dialyzer, which is very polarizing and frequently maligned, and somewhere between 2.0 and 3.5 partial implementations of LSP depending on how you're counting.

Unlikely, the contributors don't seem to have meaningful Ruby backgrounds. Isn't it a simpler supposition that the naming intent was merely (R)ust Actors?

Tiny bit of context I'd also call out is that one of the primary authors comes from WhatsApp IIRC, with an extensive Erlang background.

It's been informally discouraged for use in net-new projects via a chat message from one of the maintainers during this year's RustConf. https://discord.com/channels/734893811884621927/127043967262... Ac

Do you have a prose description or repo you'd be interested in sharing? I'm acquainted with Zotero and Omnivore, but I accumulate papers to read much faster than I get through my TBR pile and it's getting pretty unwieldy alre

So if I was to be insultingly reductive, is the vibe of the idea sort of "fantasy football league for GitHub stars"?

Strictly hobbyist here. There is nearly zero overlap between game genres I like to work on as a developer and genres I enjoy as a player. I get the itch every now and again but the stuff I like best as a player is either art-intensive (so w

Grindset self-promo tactics being pervasively, overly represented in the content submissions and discussions here are the number one reason I take very long breaks from the site. More genuine conversations are intensely welcome, so if that

This matters, a lot, for contributing to the tool authored in Rust. But for merely installing and benefiting from it, compile-time is largely a one-time cost that pays returns quite soon.

For a gaming desktop are there any realistic options I'm overlooking besides: - acquiesce to everything Win11 entails - be a weirdo and run a server SKU - run insecure EOL OS on hardware - run insecure EOL OS on some less-begrudged hyp

Likewise, software can be enjoyed by everyone without affecting the quality of the life of the producer or its content and there is no indication that piracy can limit the latter and former. So if I produce paid software as my sole liveli

Plenty of humans don't enjoy fireworks either, and by nature that's tough luck - others who enjoy them won't consult you and will make it your problem. I hate them mostly for sensory reasons, plus I find the pollution/li

And WPEngine does not own Wordpress or its ecosystem, right? So that's also "other people's projects" if they produce something of value to its ends users?

As José answered more gracefully, you don't need to learn the syntax but you do need to learn the semantics, the performance gotchas, and for most projects I'd say you'll probably need to consume Erlang documentation which

I've never converted a project to Elixir and not had the associated costs decrease dramatically. It's useful to remind that any full rewrite without notable changes in feature scope will probably wind up performing better than t

Hearsay tells me they maintain a small fleet of Wordpress plugins, sponsor conferences, etc. Are those not meaningful contributions to the ecosystem?
