In this case it seems very clear cut, the Russian army invaded and attacked the civilian populace.


This is really amazing, and will make wiring up some of these models together much easier I think. Elixir is making great strides in being a fantastic choice for ML


For sure. The pace at which they've been making all these improvement is really impressive.


In the Elixir kernel, defmacro is defined by calling the defmacro macro about itself

I’m just gonna say this - Elixir flat out does not need strong typing. People who think it does, need to learn how to use structs, guards & change sets properly. 99.9% of the time we are interested in “Accounts” or “widgets”, if it’s important enough to be in your domain model you can spend 2 minutes creating a struct for it, boom no need of types. I realize some very smart people work on Gleam and such, and I don’t really want to claim I know more than them, but seriously I think if you find yourself reaching for types in Elixir you just don’t grok that it’s a high-level language and types will only get in the way! Stop thinking like a C/python/JS programmer, start thinking like a prolog/lisp programmer!! We want to get away from worrying about ints vs floats and deal with high-level constructs that match our domain model, NOT regress into strict typing.


ElixirConf was this past weekend, I wasn’t there (sadly) but probably these were all reveals from that.


Both libraries were announced by Brian along with a CMS they’ve built.


Too little anxiety leads to laziness, but too much is crippling. Like most things you need to find the sweet spot.

Be anxious, not too much. Mostly over things within your control.


I’m a millennial so this is largely speculation, but I think in the 60s-90s music was all about finding your tribe (as in, social group). That trait still exists and is bigger than ever, but it’s moved to social networking. MySpace was a very important link in the chain in this respect, because it bridged the gap between using your taste in music to finding other like-minded strangers online.


Yes, I’d add that for many or most people, music is a way to connect with peers and mates in your teens and 20s

If you no longer have as much time or motivation for that due to having a family, it’s only logical that you won’t spend as much time on that activity

Not judging one way or another, but I liked music for non social reasons as well, and I still seek it out in adulthood. Kexp and tiny desk on YouTube are a constant source of great artists and performances


IPv6 and phones (many people never allow their phone to get so flat it dies, and if it does it’s soon recharged) ought to mean that every person in the world can host their own website effortlessly. The tech industry (telco & Google/Apple) make this basically impossible, so we (the tech industry) are the ones to blame IMHO.


Phones also die and/or get discarded regularly, and a lot (most?) people don't do backups at all, or rely on cloud for backups.

Not to mention that I want my phone's battery to last as long as possible, and hosting websites off it will have an opposite effect.


Android/iOS, IPV4 shortage issues, technical hurdles, yeah the list abounds. Don't even need a phone, 10 dollar computers exist, it's mostly an accessibility issue, both of tech and IP.

The big reason to ditch the modern web entirely, though, is DNS - you pay a centralized thousands of dollars for rights to a name - if That's not centralization I don't know what is.

Truly decentralized means anyone hosts google.com, only difference is you pick which certs to trust. Probably by consulting your regional office/town hall, or similar.


Allowing incoming network traffic from any random place to a device that people install apps like free games on sounds like a really bad idea.


Do you think it's worse than using an application which runs untrusted remote code by design? A static webserver is incomparibly more secure and less of an attack surface than simply running a modern browser with JS enabled.


It might actually be good for transport, you could run one set of rails along the entire length and just jump on/off at your desired station. Probably the real-estate in the middle would be the most expensive because it will still be the hub of the city.


The south shall rise again, this time with fractionalized ownership!
