Where is the study? What constitutes a lot?

ETA: This press release relates to this study published Sept 3rd 2025 https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000214023 https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-09-11-toxic-artificial-swee... https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/sugar-substitutes-not-s...

  Adults under 60 who consumed the most artificial sweeteners — averaging 191 milligrams daily — experienced a 62% faster decline in memory and thinking skills compared to low or non-users.

191 milligrams a day would be like two 355ml coke zeros a day according to https://www.coca-cola.com/ca/en/brands/coca-cola/products/co...

It's interesting but I wish I could still Swype on it

I'm looking at something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4Dc6QNWiIs and I feel like they are doing totally different things. Both harvest tomatoes, but these are totally different approaches.

It really doesn't get more sensible and sustainable than kids playing team sports and parents witnessing this part of their lives. The blame here is squarely on PEs like black bear nickel and dimming parents. How do you pull the plug on that? It's so gross.

Seconded. My home server does many things, one of which is homeassistant.

I think WhatsApp is still using Erlang and they are biggest messaging app in the world. Discord is using Elixir but it's more niche. I think if you look at use cases where they excel, you will find them there.

what's the alternative for something straightforward like that?

  Their security team should vet all of these devices, create environments where it's safe for them to be on the network, and ensure they're kept up to date also?

Yes? How else would they test anything?

Does toilet training your cat introduce a significant health hazard through toxoplasma gondii into the surrounding environment? It's so hard to tell if your local wastewater plant takes care of this...

  two process working with a shared actor share that state

I think this is where I disagree. They may share an actor but the state of the actor belongs to the actor. To say they share it implies they can always change it independently but that's not the case. Actors don't trample on each other's internal states. For example a simple mutex semaphore pattern fixes your race condition.

No I agree, there's ways of getting a global shared mutable state, but they are explicit and not a structure of the language itself IMO.

Erlang has a bunch of tools to help enforce determinism or at least suss out concurrency issues. For example: you can specify multiple receive statements to process your queued messages in a specific order, there is also a process manager (pman:start()) that allows you to explore concurrency related events, and not to mention Mutex Semaphores as a pattern to mitigate those issues.

There doesn't seem to be a real solution to deadlocks. I got the oreilly book in front of me and it's basically saying: be careful, but don't worry.

And I don't think erlang has a shared mutable states. In fact a google search for "erlang shared mutable state" has you as the first result.

yeah I would say in principle this makes sense but in practice a junior will typically say "this is beyond me but you're the senior so if it works, it works!"

It is an opportunity to go through the code and concepts at least.
