Not necessarily, there are plenty of rigorously documented cases of people being conscious without any brain activity. This article is also pretty interesting: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.202

Exactly. Case in point: Sonos not getting along with Google means the Youtube Music app doesn't allow casting to a Sonos speaker directly (like the Spotify app for example). This means I have to use the Sonos app, which "wraps&quo

This is a very interesting project, thanks. I'd love to see how you solve the problem of typed message passing in the language itself.

That's exactly my point. It's a website. It's meant to be consumed by browsers, so it's fine if the served resource is a SPA that renders the content lazily or whatever. The claim that SPAs somehow violate HTTP seems wei

Looks like you're mistaking HTTP for HTML... The article makes no mention of HTML/JS.

As anyone who ever played Civilization very well knows :-)

I think the most annoying part of this fad is that if you want to build a gaming PC it's very hard to find good components (especially cases and motherboards) that _don't_ have LEDs. It wouldn't bother me much if the same pro

Even more so in this case, where if they discontinue the product you probably risk losing access to your entire game collection.

You mean like vectorized instructions and such? I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say no. Anyway, I'm sure there are some compilation phases that won't benefit from more cores, but the bulk of the compilation seems

I haven't done any rigorous testing, but looks compiling the project I'm working on does use all CPUs. There's also this: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.ParallelCompiler.html

I'm very curious how this CPU performs for Elixir compilation.

I think you're missing the point. We're not comparing Safari with IE6 -- that would be absurd, we're just saying Safari compares to it's peers (Chrome, Firefox, heck, even Edge) like IE6 used to compare to the other brow

Not sure why you were downvoted. I agree with this definition. This is the main point of the whole discussion about the Slack client being bloated, consuming huge amounts of memory (and sometimes CPU) etc.
26.
by mtarnovan 7y ago
Thanks, I'll take a look. I tried https://volt-app.com a while ago but it had some bugs that made it unusable (for me) with Slack. I'm also a bit concerned of using a closed-source client with Slack.
27.
by mtarnovan 7y ago
How about a native client? I think it's safe to assume that Slack has the resources for this.

I have also written Elixir in the last years, after 10 years of Ruby, and the syntactic similarities are obvious to me. Luckily you don't have to take my word for it, as the author of Elixir said multiple times that, while Elixir is n

The syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby.
