That was certainly true for older automatics. However, the tranny in my 2 yrs old bmw 3 seems to be freaking prescient. It seems to always be in the right gear at the right time and transitions are buttery smooth. I tried playing with manua

Erlang. I used to be a C/Java kind of guy with a little bit of C++ and PHP sprinkled in. Got tired of using GDB to rummage through core dumps in order to figure out C/pthreads concurrency bugs. So looked into this new fangled thin

I was able to hook up my MBP to two external 4k displays and drive those and the internal screen at 60Hz with no problem. 2015 MBP with discrete AMD Radeon graphics chip.

In all likelihood it is about the relatively lesser abundance of high quality, ready to use building block in the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem vs NodeJS or RoR. In my opinion, Node and its associated ecosystem will get you to your MVP faste

The way I understand this, the canary will not be removed, it will just stop being updated. All it says is that, as of the date of the canary, no NSLs have been served. If you know the organization posts a new one monthly and you see it ski

My 2 years old BMW is one of those heavily computerized cars and can easily be serviced at third party shops. There's a whole network of them that specialize in BMW service, maintenance, and modding. Not to mention that anyone interest

You are absolutely correct, the schedulers never preempt a process in the classical sense, but from an Erlang code perspective, the system behaves as if it would be preemptive. The schedulers are actually running a byte code interpreter and

X3, X5 and X6 are made in the US. Everything else is made in Germany. The Xs account for a large percentage of BMWs sold here (way larger than in Europe), but still I wouldn't call it a majority.

I use MacPorts. I tried Homebrew about a year ago, it worked fine, but I could not see the benefit. The current MacPorts is pretty up to date, at least for my needs. Pretty trouble free…
