This is a frustratingly incomplete analysis of the moral circumstances. It can be true that one finds this person (and the victim) sympathetic, and wants rule of law to be upheld.
It’s possible that we have a different definition of sympathetic. For me, I mean that his actions feel justified and I would have no problem with him repeating that.
Supposing you accept that definition of sympathetic…Are you generally supportive of more public assassinations? Who is on your list? What about if your list is different from the generally accepted list?
in a court of law I would say this (while it 100% should be) is seldom the case. every lawyer will tell you that their number one priority is to make jury sympathetic of the defendant. the number two priority is to find find someone else they can blame the crime on which is also very clear in this case who(what) that might be
It's tough because LiveView is really just the dessert at the Elixir dining hall-- you can't live off of dessert. It's (at least) an order of magnitude smaller an ecosystem than React and the like, and while average library quality is very high, you won't find ready-made solutions to all your use cases like you do in those big front end ecosystems. JS and LiveView do interoperate surprisingly well, so ProseMirror isn't off the table, but I still think there are important benefits in the big front-end ecosystems.
Nevermind front end though, the main course is Erlang/Elixir's concise, functional, concurrency paradigm that feels more discovered than invented. The default structures they provide for thinking about message-passing actors are so much easier than tangled webs of async functions. This means CRDTs, calling out to APIs, running jobs in other languages, realtime coms, all go very well in Elixir.
I think Actors are a paradigm shift somewhat akin to garbage collection. Increasingly complex programs demanded we abstract away memory management to stay sane, knowing we'd drop down to memory manage when needed. In this web-heavy world, we abstract into tiny statefull services (actors) to stay sane, knowing we'll drop down to sequential languages when needed.
Totally agree. Commercial forums like Slack and Discord are winning for a reason-- they make for a really good experience. Invites, initial friction, feeling of a quiet and private room make a lot of conversation better than it could otherwise be.
Maybe could export chats for archiving/discoverability. Probably need optional anonymization though.
I like the comparison between nerves and systemd. I'm always a little confused by the label "embedded" in the context of nerves cause in the end you need like 100Mb in RAM and to run linux. That seems like beyond the line of what is usefully called embedded?

Indeed. Someone else in this thread mentioned [1] as doing exactly that.
> Protecting incumbents from competition is a vital role of the courts.
What's even more confusing is that the judges involved aren't paid off or anything, they really believe themselves. Not sure what that means: Money buys charisma; the status quo is 'the best we got'; or some other bias-carrying platitude.

The trouble is that this all builds from case law established before people could use magic vision portals to exploit efficiencies of scale and centralization.
That's not even addressing the magic of infinite copying-- lets suppose we all agree publishers deserve secondary markets be restricted to physical copies. Then the digital age gives us literal magic portals but the benefits are withheld from society because... they want their money. There were laws protecting that money before so the intent of the law is to protect the money in the new age too. For shame.

I'm so jaded about this now that I just assume things won't change until most of the people born before computers were "mainstream" die. Even then it'll probably take another generation or two for the cultural indoctrination associated with "intellectual property" to die out.
And no change will happen if general purpose computers (and the freedom they offer) are effectively removed from daily life. It seems to be going that way via normalization of walled gardens in the name of "security" and the infuriating argument that the computers everybody carries around (smartphones) somehow aren't actually computers and shouldn't allow for end user freedom.
Very re-assuring to find this opinion elsewhere. I am absolutely drowning in Liveview. So difficult to /really/ grok. I'm becoming more convinced that it just isn't worth the effort, especially considering the interface will glitch if the user drives through a tunnel.
Meanwhile deadviews + channels is /miles/ better than python/rails/laravel (imho).
I'll take liveview over any frontend framework. But it's not either or.
Whether it works for you really depends on your needs. I always hear the offline tradeoff but for most businesses it's not a deal breaker. What % of websites do you use every week where you expect it to work offline?
There is a retrospective and a prospective reading of this advice. I agree with your take when this advice is applied retrospectively, but I find it downright sobering when thinking about my future. I am in the process of making some big decisions, and perhaps I have been a bit to casual about them.
Perhaps, or perhaps you merely let the entirety of your brain make the decision, and more optimally so for your circumstances, instead of the limited executive function. Maybe. Or maybe that was just the lizard brain. Really hard for the executive brain to discern between the "all of my brain / know it in the gut / good instincts" and the "lizard brain want"
+1 for Apostol V1! I also read it in high school, ended up testing out of Calc 1 in Uni, having learned plenty from reading that on my own.
As you say, it really is so conversational and easy to follow. Starting with integration works really well, you build lots of sums and then use a supremum/infimum as opposed to a limit. I think the mental imagery for that is a lot more manageable than limits, especially if its your first time watching infinities disappear.
