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 estate is nice what really matters is the ergonomics of your work space and wearing a pair of ski goggles is never going to be ergonomic
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 doesn't look half as good in daylight
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 already own homes. often this is "investment" properties like rental units but a significant proportion of it is second ("vacation") properties and parents using their own equity to fund children's home purchases
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 -- and execute them. your vm of course needs to know about the remote vms to do so but that's where the rudimentary clustering mechanism in erlang comes into play
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 messages?
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 as non-liquid and highly speculative and reject any loan applications
svb was more likely to extend personal loans to startup founders because -- in theory at least -- they better understood startup finance and they were incentivized to provide good service to prospective customers of their more business focused activities
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
