I don't know the ad space particularly well, but the fact that Adweek named the Martin Agency its Agency of the Year for 2020 and 2021 suggests that it's not especially far removed from a "traditional ad agency", no?

Only within the last year have Sony, Nikon, and Canon released their flagship mirrorless cameras (the Alpha 1, Z9, and R3 respectively, though the R3 might be semi-flagship if R1 becomes a thing). From what I gather, before this generation of "stacked" sensors there would have been too much warbling from the rolling shutter to be truly useful for things like sports photography.

So most sports stuff is probably still shot with DSLRs, but that will likely change in the coming years, as (a) mirrorless cameras can ostensibly shoot more quickly (b) photographers replacing their gear won't have much of a choice.

I really enjoy doing these problems in Elixir, but the fact that the default collection type is a linked list makes certain problems difficult. However, Erlang does have a fifo queue (a doubly linked list), which can be helpful and let's you practice some Erlang interop while you're at it. https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/queue.html

100% agree on the braising in the oven vs. crockpot. A crockpot gives you 2 or 3 temp settings, where an oven can give you dozens or hundreds.

I haven't found the battery life to be an issue. Part of that is how quick the Apple Watch is to charge. I throw it on the charger when I wake up, and it's charged by the time I get out of the shower.

obviously the question is, are there cases of witness intimidation that aren't being caught?

For the most part, this is correct. One exception is "tortious interference with a contract". Let's say I work full-time for Company A, and in my employment agreement, I agree not to do any work on the side. Then let's say Company B knows that I work for Company A and knows that I am contractually prohibited from working for them. If Company B induces me to breach my employment agreement with Company A, Company A can often sue them under the "tortious interference with a contract" cause of action.

For most US jurisdictions, intent is required on the part of the obstructing party, but in a minority of jurisdictions, negligence is enough.

I suspect this is why there's a clause in most employment agreements that I've signed, where the employee has to represent that they are free to enter into the agreement.

ULA might be inefficient and seems likely to struggle to compete with SpaceX, but Destin Sandlin's (Smarter Every Day) tour of their factory is pretty freakin sweet.

This is super cool! One thing I’m curious about is whether using CO2 noticeably increases the brightness of the shot.

Typically string key maps should exist only at the edges of your system, but they are still often necessary when you're interacting with the outside world. Params in Phoenix come in as a string key map because the atom table does not get garbage collected, so where you don't know what keys may be passed in, string keys are necessary to avoid the risk of running OOM. That said, once I know the shape of the data I'm dealing with, I pretty much always convert to an atom key map as quickly as possible. If I see a string key outside of the context of a controller or worker, I am immediately suspicious.

Brew consistently upgrades things that shouldn't need to be upgraded. I've spent more hours than I care to count fixing broken Postgres installations which regularly get major version bumps as a result of a completely unrelated install or upgrade.

I've never used linux as a dev machine, but in general apt seems much more reasonable in this regard. My frustration with Brew is pushing me to seriously consider a linux machine, so if anybody has counterpoints here I'm definitely interested in hearing about your experiences.

I don't care that Brew "breaks with norms" I just care that it breaks my shit.

To those who have not seen the Grant Achatz profile in the Netflix series Chef’s Table (S02E01), I highly recommend it. One of my favorite episodes in the whole series. Excellent cinematography and storytelling. Obvious not the only reason Alinea is world famous, but definitely gave it a ton of exposure.

one time i ran “brew upgrade ffmpeg” which somehow forced a major version bump of postgres.

Love the length of this post. more interesting than what could be said in a tweet, but didn’t belabor his best points. Excellent piece.

This totally misses the main point: Apple could absolutely have brought this up within a reasonable amount of time. The issue here is reliance.

Granting app store approval to an app encourages the company to build around the app and around the brand. And Apple gave that approval for many years. And then, after all that time, decided that the brand is projecting an ethos that they don't approve of?

Apple's process doesn't just involve tacit approval. It's very active. They had so many opportunities to not give approval, to not hit the button, but they did and for quite a long time.

Have you seen the PolyScience Control ºFreak? Four of those types of elements on cooktop? yes, please!

It's definitely feasible to add custom color names (and other properties). I have brand specific color names in an app I'm working on right now. There's a theme object in tailwind.config.js that deep merges with the defaults. Great for setting up custom colors, fonts, etc.

Did I miss something, or are they, once again, not upgrading the camera? The low light performance of the current version is real bad. Since we're all using these cameras way more, I really thought there would a hardware bump. You can only squeeze so much detail out of an under-exposed, noisy image with software.

Interestingly, decoupling data and behavior is exactly what I like about FP.

Hard disagree. The bit where they're machining the hilt was definitely worth my time. The glass blowing nozzle also super cool. I'm not likely to pay for the rest of it, but I definitely don't feel like my time was wasted.

in 2019 (i.e. before covid), I threw a party at my centrally located, but also quite small, 1 br apartment. Had some friends in from out of town and put them up at a hipster boutique hotel 3 blocks from my apt. They hung out at my place for as long as they wanted, stumbled back to the hotel when they were done, and retreated to privacy of their own hotel room. We all walked to breakfast the next day.

The way the math works out is that I would be able to pay for three nights per month in that hotel for the difference between a 1br and a 2br in my building.

I don't think everyone reading this article needs to shoehorn their own situation into the analysis, but for me it makes a ton of sense. I kind of want a 2br, but I really wouldn't use the space that often and I have excellent alternatives.

There are so many ways of distributing thought and expression with little to no cost other than the time and effort of the creator. In practice, books almost always require more. I'm struggling to see how using a blog instead, is some sort of "failure of empathy".

But I guess the broader point remains, even if only 20% of potential authors are, like me, so evil that they wouldn't devote a year of their lives to writing a book that they couldn't monetize in some way, well that's still represents a 20% decrease in innovation on some level.

It seems to me very intuitive that a lack of IP protection of some sort discourages innovation.

I cannot imagine wanting to write a book if I didn't have some recourse against people distributing my book freely.

The policy concerns around IP protection for both patent and copyright are clear: the minimum amount of protection that doesn't discourage innovation.

Lawmakers know or should know that we all benefit from a rich public domain, which is why there are limitations on both copyright and patents in terms of both duration and general application, and I am happy to argue that copyright is too strong, particularly in terms of duration (thanks Disney), but I simply can't agree that we "would be better off without any kind of copyright or IP".

Both the premise and the conclusion here are poorly reasoned.

We are told multiple times that the Constitution was intended to be socially normative, yet no historical evidence for this is provided.

then we are told that Munroe’s comic has been hugely damaging because it doesn’t acknowledge the premise, which again, is unsubstantiated.

But what we aren’t told is what damage is done or how discourse has been affected.

Nice theories. No evidence.

In the US, we do have precedence for rights that can't be waived. The implied warranty of habitability is the first that comes to mind.

I'm of the camp that focusing on the acronym stuff is missing the point: that was a thoughtful, well-written piece.

I, for one, am grateful that you took the time to write it.

Ok, so after RTFA I think the only thing described that I can't do in Elixir is seamlessly move state from the REPL to the code. The utility of that for me doesn't feel huge. Yes, I will copy and paste a line from the console to the test or the code, but (a) I don't think that's really slowing me down a ton and (b) it gives an opportunity to ensure that the thing I'm moving is exactly what I want.
