Someone call Brahm

How many layers can we do!! I’m guessing elixir to JavaScript to v8 or whatever the js vm was called in chrome. Then jit then binary.

Communicating over a network or one of those chrome sockets to an elixir or erlang vm so someone else can manage your data.

Life is good

How does Facebook stand here? Haha I have an account I tried to go through the reset account process more times than I can count. No reset email was evvvvver sent. Don’t waste ur time adding the friends that can reset your account.

But hey, maybe Facebook does favors. And maybe it’s all just one big dumpster fire.

Who’s to say

I believe in the following sentences very much. However, I believe the value of the internet for any person could possibly be directly correlated with the amount of PII they are willing to share which to me makes this, if, a question of morality, a personal decision.

The sentences that stuck out to me are: “If your phone number or other PII has ever been associated with your identity, that association will be in place indefinitely and is probably available on multiple data broker sites.

The best way to be anonymous on the internet is to be anonymous, which means posting without any name or identifier at all. If that isn't practical, then using a non-meaningful pseudonym and not posting anything personally identifiable is recommended.”

In my experience this statement is incorrect: “Using abstractions extensively actively encourages study into how to implement them efficiently, contrary to Blow's claim that their use will lead to few understanding their implementation.”

I would agree with Jonathon Blow here that it is very common to use abstractions without there being any understanding of or even an interest to discover the underlining implementation of that abstraction.

For example, why else would the question, “Do you use multithreading in NodeJS?” be a common interview question?

It is commonly known that NodeJS “runs code asynchronously” but how often would it be that an engineer could accurately explain how this is done?

While some may find the benefit in understanding the system in which they work in completion I believe a majority is content with living with assumptions.

Any feedback would be welcomed!!
