_susanoo··on Elixir 1.19
> PSA: Please be honest, thoughtful, clear, and communicate changes in advance so they can be avoided or minimized to inflict least net pain for all users for all time.

> Honestly, I hope more development goes into making Phoenix/Elixir/OTP easier, more complete, more expressive, more productive, more testable, and more performant to the point that it's a safe and usable choice for students, hobbyists, startups, megacorps, and anyone else doing web, non-web, big data, and/or AI stuff.

Seriously, this has been the case all the time. It's a great fit for AI, web (Phoenix), non-web (Nerves), students (Pragstudio), hobbyists (hi), megacorps (Discord, bleachereport).

What do you mean it's not testable, productive, expressive enough? Do you mean the entire elixir community is just fiddling about with unsafe software?

This comment seems just like a giant ragebait.

_susanoo··on WhatsApp alternatives that respect privacy
I don't think many people migrated to Whatsapp because it's more secure and private than SMS. I think people migrated because it was free and it had better functionality than SMS. If they did migrate because of privacy and sercurity, how come they don't migrate to apps with better privacy right now?

_susanoo··on The next ten years of Instapaper
I'm not sure how requiring a minimum password length of 1 character solves anything. Just tried it out and apparently 'a' is an acceptable password.

The article hammers on accessiblity over security and I think you've taken this too far. A minimum password length of 8 is not a 'strange requirement'.

Straight from their privacy policy [0]:

-- Please note: To ensure easy account creation, minimal customer errors, and reduced support inquiries, Instapaper accounts initially do not have passwords. If left without a password, anyone can access your account if they know or guess your username. --

This sounds like a serious security issue if you ask me.

_susanoo··on Botrnot: an R package for detecting Twitter bots
It seems even @potus has a probability of .929 of being a bot. Is this fake news?
_susanoo··on EBay to Ditch PayPal for Dutch Payment Processor Adyen
Adyen doesn't mean anything in Dutch. We, or atleast I as a native Dutch person, pronounce it AD (as in Latin ad) - YEN (as in the Japanese currency).
