Not just you… Seems like it might be a Britishism? I think it’s saying something like “construction workers light up SpaceX”, like say bad things about them?
Apparently I'm out of the loop, but it took a fair amount of reading to discover that Phoenix is a framework for Elixir. It's only mentioned in passing on the Phoenix project's homepage, very easy to miss.
Just strikes me as odd and makes it less approachable. Most other projects I've encountered present themselves as a part of the language's ecosystem where it seems like it's assumed here. E.g. React calls itself a JavaScript library.
Normally you configure your a record to point at the cdn as the cdn is the thing that gives you multiple points of failure (caches all over the world). Hard to have a fallback to that. Running multiple cdns would be extremely expensive. Cdn caches are kept useful by traffic running through them, so hard to have a backup for that too.
We are seeking a curious and enthusiastic software engineer to join our Scratch team at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) is a free visual programming language and global online community where children can create and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animations.
Here at the Lifelong Kindergarten research group (MIT Media Lab), we are passionate about creating technology that enables kids to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically. We’re looking for engineers who enjoy collaborating as much as coding and who thrive in an environment of continual iteration and improvement. Located in the MIT Media Lab, the Scratch team works amid a giant pit of LEGO bricks – so a love for creative making (and tolerance for a bit of a mess) is a must!
It looks like this translates Pocky in different positions to lines of code and then executes that code. This is too many levels of abstraction even for me to make sense of as a professional programmer... I like where their heart is but I think this would be a terrible introduction to coding.
That's why the concept of "derailing" evolution is silly. There's no set course for evolution to be derailed from... in fact that's the entire basis of the concept of evolution. Diet and medicine are just evolutionary pressure, just like every other part of the environment since life began.
I was thanking them for adding important details about the context of this video, which has been overlooked in the conversation by the majority of the commenters I've seen.
