Kathy Griffin lost her job at CNN and faced a lot criticism from all walks of life at that time. So it wasn't like she didn't face consequences at that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Griffin#Depiction_of_Don...
Re:Elixir v1.10 on Monday January 27, 2020 @10:31AM (#22160163)
Speaking of excellent documentation, from the documentation you can jump right into the code and see how a particular elixir function is implemented. Super useful personally for me as a learner. For example , go to https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Enum.html#map/2 and click on the little "<\>" on the top-right

I've been using Elixir for personal projects for the last 2 years; The syntax is refreshing coming from C#/Java world. I learnt so much while learning to program in Elixir especially Pattern matching, functional programming and Actor-model concurrency. Highly recommended

Not really, Desert sand is very smooth and fine to use in construction. From what I read, Dubai actually imports sand for use in construction

Re:The End of Headphone Jacks, the Rise of DRM on Thursday September 08, 2016 @02:00PM (#12455437)
> Sure. Or you can use the included lightning-jack adapter and just use normal, un-DRM'd headphones.

What prevents Apple from obsoleting the adapter in the future and making analog jack incompatible with lightning jack?

ASK HN: Is there an iFixit for Software?

For people who are not familiar with iFixit.com, it's a site that tears down hardwares known for famous Apple product teardowns and publishes repair manuals. Is there a site that does something similar to open source software projects?

Re:BankSimple: We have cards on Friday May 20, 2011 @01:13PM (#2568520)
In traditional banking, UX is an afterthought but from what I see, for BankSimple, banking takes the backseat but UX rules. I say this coz there's no details on FDIC, interest rates, etc. IMO, instead of doing Banking; they can sell their product to banks

May be I'm missing something here; Why there's even a discussion about RAID at the EBS level? When Amamzon says, "Amazon EBS volumes are designed to be highly available and reliable" and if we have to talk about RAID then the issue is on Amazon's end
