Everything you said might well be true, and indeed as far as I know it is, but aircraft should not have fail-deadly systems which require lightning reflexes and up-to-the-second training to diagnose and disable fast enough before they crash

Check out hanami next time you're starting something new. It's a little more complex than sinatra, but really gels with how I like to architect things. It's basically "what if dry-rb had a web framework"?

I think you need to re-evaluate your sources of information, because what you wrote in this comment comes across as a bunch of unfounded, conspiracy-addled fantasy world nonsense. Not only is "NATO vs BRICS" not escalating, there

Anyone can come up with a list of mistakes made by any major actor in any sphere you care to name. OK, sure, people and even countries make big, dumb mistakes sometimes. That doesn't prove anything other than humans remain human. I&#x2

I found this surprising as well. Here's the actual report, which the Guardian did not think to link: https://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/publications-and-resourc... OK, I have to admit I'm surprised it's that

As an Australian originally, this article is pretty hard to take seriously. I have a great many problems with Australia's medical system, especially the GPs-then-hospitals-with-nothing-in-between idea, but overprescribing drugs has not

This looks really cool, but it would be nice if there was a clear "how to run" section in the README. I saw the dockerfile and docker-compose and tried to give it a shot - immediately fails. Digging deeper it seems like running on

There are tons, I can name at least 4 in my city alone, all fintech. Elixir really excels, and is heavily used, at payment processing workflows, where genservers and the concurrency model is amazingly useful at handling complex, multi-step

While I love ridiculous specs as much as anyone, let's remember that 1/80,000th of a second is.. nuts and as far as I can find there's only one flash unit that can even do that, the profoto pro-11, which is a $20k proposition

Counterintuitively, having messed around with building mruby for a project a few months ago, I found it harder to deal with. It's a lot more hardcore, with vastly fewer resources and more sharp edges, and is orders of magnitude less

I didn't write any reply to the original, but enjoyed reading it, and this one too - but as someone who's been on both sides of the IC/Senior Management divide, mixed with and worked with plenty of C-level types and has a pre

I know the situations look superficially similar - big state rattling its sabres at smaller state, then actually going through with it - but when you dig deeper, they're not really comparable. There's more than 100km of sea betwee

While it's important to respond to these threats with a credible show of deterrence, realistically speaking not many people think China can or will even try to take Taiwan anytime soon, if ever. Invasion by sea was hard even before we

I hope this is the beginning of the pendulum swinging back towards a more sustainable tax regime. A lot of people forget - or pretend to forget - in the "golden age" of america's great works, the top tax rate was above 90%! A

+1 to the other comments, but I feel like crystal has a few huge chicken and egg problems, maybe exacerbated by the fact its natural "audience" is perhaps the ruby community. As a rubyist myself I've tried to evaluate/su

That would be an extraordinary act of political activism which is never, ever going to happen. I'd argue it's not a corporation's place to take such an action in the first place. This is, if anything, a diplomatic matter and

Meh, a lot of these kinds of articles seem to be written by civil engineers with a chip on their shoulder and defensive about the use of their title. I don't buy it. Yeah, we don't have certification and all that kind of stuff yet

You don't need to be a python zealot to use the term, and abhor the practice of, monkey patching. In fact rubyists should hate it even more. There's a special, nearly unattainable state of pure ethereal rage one can only reach aft

Is that really your reaction to C++? These days when selecting a critical infrastructure component I'm very inclined to prefer memory-safe by default, like rust or (somewhat less so) golang. Sure, C/C++ projects that have been aro

I actually believe them on that too, FWIW. This time. It's just too dumb. I hope, for their sake, it's the truth. I was really just trying to point out that this kind of good faith benefit-of-the-doubt has a limit, and fear of rea

CockroachDB gets real expensive real quick if you want to use any of the cool functionality though. The free version is OK for a cluster in very short range of each other, for example the same DC, but if you spread things out you'll ne
