OK, thanks for the clarification. Guess that could indicate something worse took place after the leg breaking then :(

What is the reason they cut the stream for events like this? Just so they can shift focus by writing a press release saying how they could salvage the most important stuff before the video hits the news?

The Russians did it only to provoke and to test the response times of the Turks, just like NATO does every day to other countries. This is not something you shoot down a jet for. Turkey just took a shot at getting back at the Russians for w

Also, adding an "catch all" is usually not recommended in Erlang (even though it's good for some things), so most of the time you would do just: foo(bar) -> void. And then let it crash if the value is something else than e

I was actually being serious and I agree with you that it would be good with a defined number.

Yes, that's why I wrote "seek justice".

So whats the limit on how much society should spend to seek justice if someone raped you?

I remember being in Denmark a couple of years ago when there was a massive spike in the electrical price. Think it was due to low wind and that Sweden had abruptly shut down one of its power plants. As an effect it costed the Danes more tha

I find that theme very aesthetically pleasing, but I'm always having a hard time reading when the contrast between the text and background is so small compared to the theme vividchalk that I always fall back to. Is this something you g

There was a smiley in the end you know... My point was that these "tests" really shows nothing. It's a very specific scenario and if you read the comment from jlouis you would know that his scenario was very different and wou

It also shows that Erlang is 15X faster than Java (depending on what framework you compare) and that the Java Netty/JSON test has 8X more code than the Erlang Cowboy/JSON counterpart ;)

Are the quickcheck tests in the otp repo? Cannot find them, but I guess it makes some sense to leave them out since not all have the full quickcheck installed.

The model for all these companies are flawed. I think both consumers and musicians would gain from having it like the radio where non-profit organizations (ASCAP?) handle all of this. That way all music could be distributed through all apps

Sweden gave a lot of US soldiers that refused to go to war asylum during the Vietnam war. So much for parallels in between now and the sixties/seventies...

Could have been that Tiversa was given access to the infrastructure, so even if it was a breach it was more of the "Snowden"-type than of some random hacker from the outside. Still a breach, but one much harder to do anything abou

Not having that catch all case in the example will make any unspecified calls to crash. That will log the state, received call and so on, so there is no needed to catch it for logging. The whole point of having a supervisor higher up the ch

Lets not forget that Google complied with Chinese censorship requests until China hacked them. As long as only minorities are the victim then these Internet giants don't give a damn. So now we just wait until Russia bans Facebook for o

How do they differentiate themselves from other providers? Feels like the ordinary "it will sell because it says Swiss all over the place".

I see the architect role in software development pretty much the same as a architect of a building. He/she will be in charge of the big picture and let others do most of the implementation and deal with small details, unless it's

If they send data from my phone (potentially private information) to a foreign country without telling me, then I think its reasonable to boycott them. If I knew that my local grocery store sent my private information to china I would boyco

Sounds interesting! What's needed from the user in order to use this feature? Will it be possible to use from high level languages like java or do you have to use assembly? Can think of quite a lot of applications that would benefit A

Horrible, horrible security practice to stop the user from inspecting the certificates being used in Safari.
