Funny how privileged people are now witnessing what POC have been going through for a long time
When I travel I read the laws and fine prints of visas and add "interrogation time" to my trip plan

Irony, it's their stories told in the press but not that of "Lopez" who a side character in this

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Sweet. Might be nice to “inspect_only” rather than redact all as an option.

In ecto you can use redact: true? Does that not solve your use case? Other ways I’ve seen this implemented is to make that field an anonymous function so it has to be called to get the value. Then it won’t be logged when inspecting the data structure

we have an adage in information processing: garbage in, garbage out. many will tell you not to think about minds like they're computers but in this case it's useful. if your information environment is trash and your attitude towards it is unreflective, your expectations will be similarly inaccurate.
I am taking some pleasure in seeing *yet another* group of supposedly genius, mostly white guys who get paid ridiculously huge salaries be exposed as absolute chump-ass idiots

could it be that finance bros aren’t actually smart

Their pride, their commitment to never admitting even obvious, provable mistakes is more important than the life of a human being.
The Trump administration is insisting a man they sent to an El Salvador prison is in a Venezuelan gang even though he’s a youth soccer coach and pro goalie with no criminal record and the tattoo they said was a gang tattoo is a soccer team he likes. www.dropsitenews.com/p/venezuelan...

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

My new pattern is to use my Phoenix app as a node always and connect to it with Livebook. Code something in livebook as a repl and then basically copy it into the code, or maintain certain scripts and internal tools there

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

Last book of the big series recently came out - Stormlight Archive. It’s five books with a few other standalone books.

I’ve read most of the other stuff, too, and also started with Mistborn. I’ve basically liked everything.

Another file it feels like a lot of overhead.

Obviously if it’s some major thing that gets used in 20 places it should be treated differently. But if it’s a query that pulls for that view I’d rather it be there (see Locality of Behavior)

I personally find it very frustrating to look at code in the eg Phoenix auth generator style where there are contexts and then you look at the function and it’s like a “Repo.all”.

I find queries to be the easiest thing to read, and often as short, so when I have to trace a function call to

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

I made a video with a breakdown and detailed analysis of my 200 lines of code HTTP server in pure macos arm64 assembly.

Might be a good entry point into the assembly world even if you have never touched assembly.

If you’re the end application.. what your users use and whether it’s consumer (esp. e-commerce) or B2B. If it’s e-commerce I’d be aiming for much higher backwards compatibility.

However in B2B you might have some say over what browser your users should use for your product.
