You can always find a case where you are stressing the very thing that people are using in a micro-benchmark; like, no one is claiming that table unwinding is the correct choice for every single function! But, the other extreme you get is s

I am shocked at the idea of anyone implying that Erlang is "unreliable"... it's entire reason for existence was to step up the game on reliability.

And so you would pay for the largest tier as it sounds like you have big data needs? ;P Whereas my company--which only had tens of millions of users and millions of dollars a year in revenue--certainly never had any tables with more than 4

Great: and presumably you have good reasons for that. On the other side, I will never use a Moxie Marlinspike product. But, for both of us: the messages themselves being insecure isn't a concern, so spreading FUD about such is net harm

FWIW, they lost my belief in them with the "advanced voice" debacle: they seem to have announced it when they did merely to scoop Google, not because that was a reasonable time to announce it :/. It then took them forever to

I don't see how that analogy works, especially so as in your attempt to make a point you have DuPont as the explicit actor in the direct harm, and the people drinking the water aren't even involved... like, I do not think anyone d

No: while there are some notable (and maybe critical) differences surrounding how group chats are handled, by and large WhatsApp literally uses Signal's protocol.

I really enjoyed (at the time: I have not watched it in 20 years) the 1999 made-for-TV movie of the same name (and apparently there is a copy on YouTube now! I am totally going to watch it soon and find out how bad my memory has aged ;P).

You can take the raw SQL string and pass it--at compile time, treating the database itself as part of the product you are linking against (and it doesn't have to be the full production one: it can be a local one built from the artifact

Dart's VM was designed by the team (I think not just the one guy, but maybe I'm wrong on that and it really is just Lars Bak) that designed most of the truly notable VMs that have ever existed: Self, Smalltalk Strongtalk, Java Hot

FWIW, I feel like the job of approving and committing PRs is probably easier than the job of writing them, so arguably we should automate and replace you first ;P.

This is only relevant because the cost of bandwidth is excessively high--much higher than it should be--and so people essentially need to pay for this gouging-insurance.

I found--when working in Clojure for a while back in 2012--that what I really wanted was just a way to collapse deeply-nested parenthetical definitions, and ended up with a simple reader macro that reads one form and then pushes the rest of

Doing billing like this is awkward as you just don't know what you are going to get. And, in a world where most people are in fact using small amounts of bandwidth, what you have done is caused people who use small amounts of bandwidth
