I actually use this as a form of a canary when ssh keys must be reside in multiple systems -- in the case where a key is found outside of is proper place it identifies the source during investigations.

yes active clients reconnect automatically, if you are doing rolling traditional deploys its great. It is running on beam so you can do live in place deploys too (although it is much more work).

I think if you actually try elixir you will find its lack of typing to be of little concern.

Yes and no. It handles crappy connections ok -- it will auto reconnect as needed. As far as full offline -- it has interfaces to easily alert the user via UI that they are disconnected, however, just like 99.999% of non liveview apps when

It may be redundant but I think its always important to note that processes as listed above are not like os processes here -- but an extremely lightweight internal VM thread like thing in the BEAM VM. In is not uncommon to have many millio

there are not a ton -- the pain points mostly boil down to: Don't use it for extremely latency sensitive UI's (there is around trip and most of the time for most uis this is not an issue even using a server across the world). Don&

That's the thing, free speech is not something that exists in society -- there are always ramifications/costs for speech. Free speech does exist as a protection from government oversight of ideas -- but even in this case there a

These types of executions are why I have great fear for the future and AI. You are taking data from a "confident idiot" and parsing as truth. The output of GTP-3 or any of these models is not clean data or truth, but in many cas

https://github.com/Jakeii/nanoid-postgres is an example of one way just pick a length that has enough space for your projected maxcount and ensure unique on the schema/index.

Seems like you are choosing the worst of both cases then. If you are effectively using uuid as a slug there are better choices out there that take less space to encode store and index.

exactly, low interest rates were the anomaly -- they have just been happening recently and long enough that entire generations have attached to the expectation.

Jose, this is all very exciting and cool congrats to the team. I have been trying to wrap my head around this (ML is _not_ one of the areas I have a lot of background in) to see if I could figure out how to pull in something like Whisper

but a huge hit to acquisition AND value add targeted ad impressions (IE expensive impressions). It allows Elon to wave the "hey look at the huge traffic" flag around while self sabotaging the business model further.

I guess, traffic is great. I bet a big fire on a busy street leads to a bunch of gawkers too -- but maybe the restaurant next door is not getting any value from that foot traffic. In the case of twitter's business model they have los

Also OTP/erlang and elixir and whatsapp use case are very much a match made in heaven -- they were able to get a whole mess of productivity for "cheap" because the core platform they built on came with a robust foundation to

I mean if you ask the same question to a human your question is ambiguous enough that you will get the same type of issues. How is any being or AI meant to read your mind to know you don't want instructions for system X but assume the

Yep, that looks like what a few seconds of my vim typing looks like but tossed into source code. Ill take the wall of tailwind any day over that.

I don't agree with the parent poster, but I would say that there is a large portion of frontend devs that "don't understand css" at a very deep level. For every 1 that does there are a good 9 or 10 that just get enough

by wstuartcl 4y ago
That seems to be a straw man its never just plain html and CSS. Even if it were, what you describe just devolves into dozens of similar or slightly different (many times by mistake) classes that all need to be maintained. I would much ra

I think the most common advice is to break your wanted tasks into smaller steps and just do the first small step. then do the next. If you feel yourself looking for an alternative focus, break the steps into smaller steps and do the first

Rewrites are not super common -- but IMHO if you must do one the first step is to move the tests over. Unless your goal with the rewrite is to rearchitect the interfaces at which point your basically greenfielding anyways.

If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, swims like a duck, shits like a duck and confit like a duck (lipsmack) -- its pretty reasonable to assume it may be a duck and not ponder about how it could be a zebra.

I don't think anyone is discounting the problem -- but they are reacting to the scale. Its like you jumped onto a story about a child stepping on a landmine to complain about your paper cut.

by wstuartcl 4y ago
There may be issues on both fronts but yeah, scale does matter -- there is a difference between someone that is basically an indentured (and locked up at night) servant and a grad student that is doing research that is not making comfortab

I mean, all this data provides is phone numbers that have been used (at least once) in whatsapp and this is publicly available via apis and simple scraping.

I believe india requires their whatsapp services to be segmented in countryand backdoors to data -- they have a bunch of laws like this regarding communications all the way up to sat phones.

by wstuartcl 4y ago
Someone just enumerated numbers via scraping -- seems like this only would have marginal value for spammers and maybe as a check if whatsapp was used by a given number.
