Nothing is random.


I was super excited until I read:

"...if you are using this library to integrate with Python, make sure it happens in a single Elixir process..."


What’s the problem? You plan on running multiple instances of you Elixir program?


I'm using Python script in my Phoenix app (not Livebook). I hoped Pythonx would solve all the issues associated with System.cmd, but as you can imagine, I have more than one user.


I believe mussels are now (2025) protecting more cities.

What is cool about Warsaw is the TAWARA-RTM (TAp WAter RAdioactivity Real Time Monitor.

"Warsaw as the first city in the world is protected by a comprehensive system that is capable to monitor in real-time radioactivity of municipal water and by an innovative spectroscopy system capable to identify any detected contaminants"

Interesting and surprising, to see that they have English versions online.


Almost all(i haven't checked them all myself) government sites in Poland have both Polish and English versions.


It's likely already planned, but testing for radioactivity in wastewater too would likely detect any released radioactive material that didn't impact tap water.


If your location is set to EU, you are not auto-opted in.


Correct. So not ‘everyone’ is opted in by default. Just the people without privacy laws…


When I feel the need to add a comment, I convert that piece of content into the named function.


So how do you document what is not in the code?


Obviously in the function name!

    void vendorReturnsDataInInvalidFormatAndButShouldBeResolvedByVendorOpenTicketXYZ_123ExpectedResolutionQ42024(String input) {}

/s


I asked who the killer was, and I got the name. Case solved.


Why do you keep mediocre programmers at the office?


Once upon a time...

...an engineer self-hosted stuff on his iMac.

Months have gone by...

...before LinkedIn realized their lost millions of user data records.


Funny enough on my machine, Chrome is the slowest on https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.1/

401 - Chrome

446 - Firefox

546 - Safari


357 - Chrome with extensions

511 - Chrome without any extensions

433 - Clean firefox install

500 - Clean edge install

On an AMD Ryzen 7950X3D / 5600MHz RAM

Interestingly, I got substantially different results depending on whether I used chrome with my typical extensions or not. Looking at the flamegraph, I don't seem to see the full picture of why there's such a substantial difference. Bitwarden/React Developer tools (the 2 primary extensions I use) don't seem to make enough of an impact to account for the roughly 40% performance increase seen without them. The browserbench javascript accounted for ~38.6% of the overall time taken for the benchmark, but the sum of my extensions was only 6.5%. I'm not incredibly familiar with browser performance profiling, so there's probably more to the story.


I'm getting

  457 - Chrome
  444 - Safari
  348 - Firefox
M1 Mac


Probably subjective to your particular set up - I just got the opposite results on my mac:

202 ± 4.7 - Chrome

184 ± 5.0 - Firefox

171 ± 2.6 - Safari


fyi, if you're uncertain in the single-digits place, you have no precision in the tenths place. for experimental uncertainty, it's always one sigfig


Neat site but it almost needs a flash/epilepsy warning =P


Isn't that pretty much irrelevant? Won't network speed etc make much more of a difference?
