My gas meter thinks it's on prepayment mode and won't go off... The previous owners got it replaced, and it still didn't work so they sent a technician out and made it so it won't disable itself as it won't stay in credit mode
How hard is it to make something that works?
Given Turkmenistan's past record it wouldn't even shock me to find out there's a law saying people have to do exactly that, but yeah you're probably right
At least it makes educated guesses rather than just flipping a coin as to whether to include a paragraph or not like that bot does
So personally I prefer Erlang to Elixir - the language feels more like it was designed around the programming paradigms it supports (message passing, everything's one of about 6 types for efficient serialisation etc), whereas Elixir feels like "what if we made a language with syntax like Ruby that worked like (and with the backend of) Erlang?" - there are some aspects I like, such as how the vast majority of things, even def, are a function call, and the parameter lists, but it feels very much like there's a lot of workarounds of the design principles of the language to get it to work
I also prefer Gleam to Elixir - it brings much nicer functional programming than either Erlang or Elixir and of course typing, which feels very missing from Elixir but not from Erlang, which is far clearer that something is one of very few types and lets you handle multiple types in a very natural feeling way. It also feels more akin to modern "full featured" (as opposed to scripting) languages than either Erlang or Elixir does.
Basically if you're learning something for employability, learn Elixir. If you're learning something for a potential business idea, use Gleam. If you're learning something for personal projects, see if Erlang is intuitive for you - if it is, I can guarantee you'll love it, if not, use Gleam.
That's not how backing works...
You can't back something with a lack of something, that's just a scheme to reward actions if the actions are performed by others, or nonsensical if they're performed by you; you know the government's just going to produce more cheaper and low quality weapons especially for destroying if that's how the value of the dollar works.
You also need to have two way exchange of the same material - if you give the government 1 dollar they'll destroy weapons for you, but in that situation you should be able to exchange that one dollar for your thing back, but what do you get? Do they reproduce the weapons? Do you have to destroy your own weapons? What if you don't have any?
With a CPU or even a GPU, there is a bunch of inefficiencies for every task as they're designed to be able to do pretty much anything - your H265 media decoder isn't going to be doing much when you're keeping a running sum of the number of a certain type of bond in a list of chemicals
With ASICs and a lesser extent FPGAs, you can make it so every single transistor is being used at every moment which makes them wildly efficient for doing a single repetitive task, such as running statistical analysis on a huge dataset. This is because rather than being limited by the multiprocessing ability of the CPU or GPU, you can design the "program" to run with as much multiprocessing ability as is possible based on the program, meaning if you stream one input per clock cycle, after a delay you will get one input per clock cycle out, including your update function so long as it's simple enough (eg moving average, running sum or even just writing to memory)
This is one specific application of FPGAs (static streaming) but it's the one that's relevant here
Except Hasbro didn't get a game of the year, "someone who licenced an insignificant property of theirs" did, and so who cares (other than everyone who made/enjoyed the game, but nobody "important" like Hasbro's execs or stockholders)
Yes... It's anyone internet connected with steam, ie the people who this will affect
Just drive via the eurotunnel... If they're not gonna let you fly then... don't fly?
He's going up from effectively paying 75% tax to 88%... He's fully entitled to increase his funding by way more than 45% but the government are keeping a larger chunk rather than increase it by a silly amount, I don't see a problem with that
As you say, it's not unreasonable for them to charge more for riskier insurance, so it's not even like cutting the riskiest x% would or should boost profits... If they think the risk has grown, raise the premium at the next renewal opportunity and their profits should be just fine even if they have to pay out
Oddly specific when of the 10 countries judged to have the equal best tap water quality, 4 are European islands (UK, Ireland, Iceland, Malta) and many Continental European countries score behind the US:
