the number of doctors on j1 extensions the us is going to lose over this is going to seriously impact us healthcare. it's also not uncommon for doctors to practice on an o1 and they'll be impacted also

the passthrough quality is a real letdown given the marketing. it's like looking at everything through a grimy, unwashed window i never expected it to be good as a productivity device because my own experience is while screen real esta

it's also because they wanted to run it at night with all the casinos (and the sphere) on the route lit up. the miami gp started at 1230pm and the montreal gp at 11am (930am and 8am vegas time, respectively) but the las vegas gp route

the big risk with elixir imo is that it's runtime/vm is still owned by ericsson and there's no alternative. i know things like firefly exist but they aren't mature replacements (to my knowledge)

that presupposes that france wants to ban the phone. charitably they just want an accurate measurement so they can apply their regulations. the lab has no incentive to find either way

this is 100% it. there's a ratcheting effect in owning housing in canada. that recent study about how 70% of homes in canada are being bought be investors is completely bogus. 70% of homes in canada are being bought by people who alre

it's not as mysterious as it sounds. every data structure (including modules and anonymous functions) has a binary serialization and every erlang vm is also an rpc server that can receive arbitrary data -- including whole programs -- a

fwiw this is from 2018 and i would say the conclusion from those who were around pinterest at this time and shortly after would not be nearly as positive

how does the type system handle `receive` in erlang/elixir? does it just require every `receive` clause have a catchall case (meaning every `receive` is any -> T) or does it only guarantee type checking in the absence of external me

the current generation of vr headsets aren't useable for extended periods. too heavy, too hot and too clunky losing peripheral vision is a bigger annoyance than i expected also

i don't think it's as nefarious as that the issue is that startup founders might have a lot of implied wealth based on the equity they hold and money raised but a "mainstream" bank is going to look at that equity, assess

it works fine and there's someone happy to do it for free. why would anyone try to compete with it?

the nuance you are missing is that individual contributors are responsible for their own work and judged based on that. they are not responsible for the work of others. managers are of course responsible for the work of those they supervise

their entire ad backend is in a state of crisis. i have friends who were on the monetization (read: ads) teams at twitter and every single one of them has been asked/ordered to return to work if they want to collect their severance

you need a ton of people to run an ad platform modern advertisers will actually use. and a ton of ad sales people to convince them to use it. twitter the product is pretty simple. twitter the business is not

they don't. you ask the team to come to a consensus on their own and if they don't just pick someone to make the decision and then pick someone else the next time you have to pick managers thinking they know better than their repo

yeah but if you fire 5500 there's little hope that the 2k you keep are the right 2k. nor are they likely to stick around to see things through

the mechanism isn't important. what apple restricts is access to any kind of cross app identifier like the idfa unless the user explicitly opts in. sketchier platforms use device fingerprinting but apple also forbids that under it&#x27

this is exactly how air travel works though. if your incoming flight is delayed you get delayed regardless of what the schedule says. setting a deadline does nothing to address the lack of a plane. the plane arrives when the plane arrives

i don't disagree with you that writing concurrent and parallel programs in erlang/elixir is nicer than in nodejs or go or java. erlang picked a nice set of primitives and elixir extended that with some very good apis. i don't

elixir's strength is really the dev experience, agreed. i think if the community had leaned harder into that aspect and less on the 'whole new paradigm' aspect of the language it would have been more successful. people want t

elixir is (was?) very parochial. for a long time it didn't fit neatly in the same shaped box as comparable applications written in ruby or python or java or whatever. part of this was technical (it's a compiled language without an
