Boston has two modes of entry, qualifying time or meeting a fundraising goal of something like $5,000. I suspect 5:29 runners are fundraisers.

Oh cool! Thanks for the reply, haven't had time to watch the screencast yet. Looking forward to it.

Looks like a great integrated take on carving out serverless work. Curious to see how it handles the server parts of serverless like environment variables, db connection counts, etc.

One potential gotcha I'm curious if there is a good story for is if it can guard against code that depends on other processes in the local supervision tree. I'm assuming since it's talking about Ecto inserts it brings over and starts the whole apps supervision tree on the function executor but that may or may not be desired for various reasons.

This universal server is a process listening for a message with a function and then it executes that function here the function is just a different infinite server turning a running process into something new. I think it shows off the power of erlang processes and the ability to pass functions to replace running processes with new behavior without changing pids.

United States, they highlight retailers or restaurants on the map that are paying for ads alongside other large landmarks.

Two more things that annoy me about Google Maps

- Related to the routes make more sense, Google seems to prefer side streets to save one minute but then you get dumped back on the main road not at the light and need to cross traffic and might lose your minute back just waiting for a chance to cross. I'd much prefer a main route with a light that guarantees a safe turn.

- Google Maps advertisements on the map. No I don't want to see a Whole Foods with a sale two miles away over other landmarks.

Great context, though from an end user's perspective it was clear why and just left hanging with "find a new SMS messaging". The integration made adoption/integrating new users easier by allowing some to have one messaging app with progressive security for contacts on Signal.

They recently announced they are removing Sms support on Android which feels vastly more useful for the non-tech crowd.

It sounds like they are taking a big bet on rewriting large components of the OS custom for Pop OS in Rust. I wish them the best but it sounds like a big commitment and I’m holding my breath for them to succeed.

I’m curious how System76 sees Pop_OS fitting into their business model which is primarily hardware.

I think that’s an interesting take! Segway’s do seem much less maneuverable than a scooter. You can navigate small gaps that a Segway which is wider than shoulder width couldn’t.

Winter and salt are both hard on roads with lots of freeze thaw cycles putting cracks in the road. So Delaware is an apples and oranges comparison. Delaware is going to have a lot less winter wear on their roads.

Isn’t Signal just groups and direct messages? Parler was a giant echo chamber where you can tumble down the rabbit hole, signal has no suggested groups or other broadcast to the word. Only broadcast to a channel opting into a conversation. Sure you can use it to coordinate and spread disinformation but it’s got a much lower viral spread.
