See linked article, under "Phenomenon #6: Cognitive abilities can be retained when the brain is seriously compromised", terminal lucidity, etc: "the patients demonstrated normal cognitive abilities just prior to death, contrary to what objective medical findings would have predicted (e.g., EEG, neuroimaging). These patients are operating in an anomalous manner that brings into question the idea that the body is a “puppet” controlled from the inside (the brain) and that perhaps it can function alternately in some instances."

> You'll need to share the decryption key (e.g. via 1password shared vaults).

Not really. It also supports keeping the symmetric decryption key encrypted with the GPG key of each added user (and handles this automatically). This is the default behavior.

What you're saying also works (quoting from readme, emphasis mine: "Alternatively, you can export a symmetric secret key, which you must securely convey to collaborators."), but feels worse from a security point of view.

Lies, damn lies and benchmarks? I don't believe that for a second.

This is a very interesting project, thanks. I'd love to see how you solve the problem of typed message passing in the language itself.

> Office 365 to begin setting Bing as Chrome's default browser

shouldn't that read "...Chrome's default search engine"?

That's exactly my point. It's a website. It's meant to be consumed by browsers, so it's fine if the served resource is a SPA that renders the content lazily or whatever. The claim that SPAs somehow violate HTTP seems weird to me.

Looks like you're mistaking HTTP for HTML... The article makes no mention of HTML/JS.

As anyone who ever played Civilization very well knows :-)

I think the most annoying part of this fad is that if you want to build a gaming PC it's very hard to find good components (especially cases and motherboards) that _don't_ have LEDs. It wouldn't bother me much if the same products were available with and without all the bling.

Even more so in this case, where if they discontinue the product you probably risk losing access to your entire game collection.

You mean like vectorized instructions and such? I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say no.

Anyway, I'm sure there are some compilation phases that won't benefit from more cores, but the bulk of the compilation seems to do so. Even though Elixir has incremental compilation, due to use of metaprogramming in the Phoenix framework sometimes even changes to a single file will trigger recompilation of hundreds of others, so I was thinking these new AMD CPUs with lots of cores could be very helpful here.
