In the year of our lord 2025? I doubt it. I'd put money on "some third party cloud service was configured in a silly way". But, I would love to see details.

For a real time application, there is no better option than elixir and phoenix if you actually want to get something working and shipped. Things that you will need to do which would be wildly complex in other stacks are so simple in erlang

If they merge two money furnaces, then they can make up for the losses with the higher volume :)

I've been writing elixir for years (i think since 0.14?) and have been writing liveview for years. I'm all in on elixir in general, but I'm not sure I'd use liveview for another big project. Maybe it's just rose col

We don't need apps. We just need site to behave like this one.

Originally I was excited to see that kroger had an API, until just about the first thing that the ToS said was "you can't use this for price comparison". And yea, I imagine dynamic pricing will make things even more complicat

What is a "junk" request? Is it hammering an expensive endpoint 5000 times per second, or just somebody using your website in a way you don't like? I've also been on both sides of it (on-call at 3am getting dos'd is

I don't own and probably never will own an apple product but I'm very glad to see this. Anything that weakens Facebook's stranglehold over society is a good thing.

Even taking your statement at face value, as a non-troll, this makes no sense. Have you ever optimized a slow program? How do you do that? A popular approach is with a flamegraph. It shows the hot parts of the execution; what is burning CPU

They're public servants. Most public servants have their name, position, level, salary, etc listed in public datasets. There is no "doxxing" of public servants. This isn't a usenet.

It has become a bit of a meme lately. I think there's something to be said about a malaise era leading to an uptick in erratic behavior. But at the risk of sounding smug and condescending, as someone who actually bought 10 acres "

Broadly agree. Whether or not it is useful isn't really an interesting discussion, because it so clearly is useful. The more interesting question is what it does to supply and demand. If the past is any indication, I think we've s

I've noticed it is very dependent on the day. Actually during the day it's pretty good, but around 7pm it gets pretty slow. My guess is that's when everyone in the neighborhood is streaming netflix. It's not the worst fo

I should check on them again, at the time (nearly 3 years ago) when I was looking they didn't offer it in my area. But then I noticed AT&T and Verizon were showing full signal strength of LTE in the last few months. At this point m

What are you using for structured output? Outlines, BAML, etc seem to vary a huge amount in quality. It was many moons ago, but outlines was unusable. BAML has been great.

This is how it is in semi rural Olympia, WA. I'm about 20 minutes from the state capitol, but the only options are 1.5mbps ADSL, or starlink. 4g/5g arrived last year, which is a great backup when starlink is down (frequent).

I applaud the tutorial, but even so it's easier said than done. I deleted mine maybe 10 years ago, before they offered a hard delete option, so all you had to do to un-delete it was log in. Then, Comcast email (yes I used a Comcast ema

I've been reflecting over the past year or so about this. And I'm also stuck with the same thoughts. Was I just dumb 15 years ago, or did the industry actually shift? Or a little of both? imo society also had a different view of t

I certainly am not in the 0.5% rich enough to be able to afford such a thing. If it does get developed (it won't in my lifetime), there's absolutely no way in hell it will be accessible to anyone but the ultra rich.

I think you can look at any cohort (except for the people already at retirement age) and see a way that they're screwed. I'm 34 and I agree that you're right, but the 22 year old fresh out of college with a CS degree might ha
