https://github.com/smabie Is it your github with a creepy kid picture? Very unprofessional!

In Sweden they issue regular credit cards (my friend has one). Also, AFAIK, in Nordics they offer virtual card payments to merchants who don't integrate with them directly.

"Safe Ruthenium rain falls over Bashkortostan", "27 police officers injured in a largely peaceful anti-racist protest"... -- how could I forget about these exceptional examples of very complicated news reporting job well

Klarna is a bank that is connected to the Visa network. So, inherently, it is bound by the same rules as any other bank. So, in the context of this thread, they are not a competitor to Visa/MasterCard.

I think Erlang's mnesia was the earliest implementation of STM.

You missed my point. Sure, blogs are written by "some guy on the internet", and anyone should be skeptical about anything they write. But journalists are also "some guys on the internet"! They should be kept in the same

Looks absolutely horrible. I use a laptop as my main dev machine, and all these 16px and 30px paddings that they added everywhere create real tunnel vision experience. I guess people with huge displays don't mind... But I absolutely do

I don't understand why traditional media still exists in modern days, when p2p communication between people is possible. In the best case, a journalist is a middleman who will misunderstand and garble information unintentionally, since

If at this point you still use Google products, while equal or better alternatives exist, you get what you deserve.

I don't want to diminish importance of graphviz, but PlantUML is better suited for visualizing state machines, message sequence diagrams and whatnot.

I passed a couple Elixir interviews with zero knowledge of this language :) You can just treat it as Erlang with funny syntax.

Neat! But please bear in mind that BEAM VM trusts the bytecode, so if your compiler emits buggy bytecode, it can crash the entire VM.

Lean 3 is community maintained, aka dead. Lean 4 is described as "go away", and it will be incompatible with Lean 3. So much for practicality.

> I would also love to know the origin. FWIW, there's a very old Russian joke that goes like "a novice doesn't know how to do it, a pro knows how to do it, and an expert knows how to avoid doing it".

Are they? Russia, for example, is neo-feudalist, not capitalist.

I have used both Arch and Gentoo, and the only similarity between them is steep learning curve. They are based on completely different tech (pacman vs. portage, systemd vs. openrc) and philosophy, they pursue completely different goals and

As a full time linux user I can't use OmniFocus anymore. But I tried it in the past, and to be honest, mastering it required no less time than I put into my unsophisticated org-mode setup.

Kinda the same situation here, but we managed to keep our dear Grafanas, by telling: "ok, give us budget to migrate all the dashboards". I can confirm that DD marketing is aggressive and full of BS and they will try to sell you mi

Erlang VM startup time is not great (in order of hundred milliseconds), but it has pretty unique features like hot bytecode patching in a running VM. So, naturally, Erlang shines when you need to build a system that runs for a long time, as
