hyperbolic.

anonymity in your product could be a sensible design choice that your customers could value. fine. go nuts.

but in general? hard disagree. anonymity is fragile and can't be guaranteed, privacy is a legal obligation which can actually be enforced if push comes to shove.

also that page reads like slop : it's not X, it's Y. blah blah blah. this is a marketing piece trying to go viral.

I just started playing in the Erlang ecosystem and they have EIGHT levels of logging messages. it seems crazily over-specific, but they are the champions of robust systems.

I could live with 4

Error - alert me now.

Warning - examine these later,

Info - important context for investigations.

Debug - usually off in prod.

I need Notice (between Info and Warning), for important events such as start and shutdown, and successfully connecting to the database, and ready to start serving. These otherwise would be in Info; and enabling Info level produces a torrent of uninteresting muck.

The eight levels in Erlang are inherited from syslog, rather than something specific to Erlang itself.

The first one should be crashing.

ugh. I have to replace my time rotors again - I thought regen was supposed to help with the wear while it improved range?

we don't need clickbait

well, it's an arts and crafts project and they may value avoiding petrochemical products in the end-product. regardless it's interesting to work through that whole process instead of just accepting it.

I'm building personal, minimalist, website monitor in Gleam using the Erlang OTP.

In the time-honored hacker tradition of added more problems to the problem i'm trying to solve I'm learning a new language (never done FP before, either), building the product I wanted, using the latest crop of creative tools, and treating it as a little end-to-end business startup too. Launching in January!

I started reading, then shifted to skimming, then abandoned it because it has said NOTHING in the first few screenfuls. is this a joke?

You missed the point because you were skimming. Perhaps you expected a rigidly structured document with a thesis statement and an abstract? This is a transcript of a humorous and educational talk where the summary is at the end, not the beginning, not a PHD dissertation.

this is so stupid i wish i could flag it twice

It is not at all true that "Most investors can time this aspect of the market". This is laughably, absurdly, wrong - as if most people could predict the future. Here's a little advice I sincerely pray you accept : don't trade options.

Huh? That’s not what rhetorical means and those silly questions aren’t confusing anyone here. What are you on about, mate?

I believe he's implying the atom bomb doesn't exist - that it was all faked by the US. Maybe?
