Or incumbents have to win some larger percentage of the vote in order to win over time


This is an interesting idea. Would be curious to hear from someone who thinks this is a bad idea (why).

edit: I see the "term limits are anti-democratic" takes elsewhere in the comments, so I guess let me narrow the above ask to "someone who isn't opposed to term limits, but thinks this idea is flawed."


Fill the arena with HR ladies and have them do a battle royal to produce a half decent set of interview questions.

Put the electables in isolation cells fromwhere they one by one end up on the Tee Vee, give voters an app with AYE, NEY and Uhh? The questions are red by the winning HR lady but also appear on the app.

The applicant writes the fizzbuzz etc etc

Then, after the job interview, we give the job to the most satisfying candidate!

It's not necessary but I would also add a series of certificates and diplomas for the voter to show they actually have some kind of idea what the job involves. The level 1 certificate should be supper simple and easy to create. It will grant you 0.1 extra vote power. There could be as many levels as we want but to grow beyond [say] 50 votes should require a mythical effort impossible to attain for 99% while we aim to reserve the right to cast 5000 votes for 1 to 5 people with supper human abilities.

The top 20 should have to explain their AYE's and their NAY's to the Tee Vee audience.

Fill the arena with all the HR ladies, and then feed the winner to a lion. After that you might actually find someone capable of interviewing an applicant.


Appreciate all the work done by the Elixir team on this. If at some point something makes the type system unfeasible, does it mean it would be unraveled from the compiler or is it safe to say what's been released now is there for good?


Hard to say, as it really depends on what goes wrong. In practice we would likely need to make different trade-offs (for example, do less inference).


Agreed. Gleam is a great one that targets JavaScript and outputs easy to read code


Yup. Also rescript if your not a fan of the elm architecture.


Reminded me of this which is a MIT lecture called “how to speak”

Maybe Haxe is an example of another language like this. I wonder if it applies though to languages that are hosted i.e. Elixir is constrained somewhat by what Ericsson decides to do w/ Erlang


has anyone figured out what their event page means? Supposedly its a hint of what they're announcing. https://frame.work/framework-event


To add onto this, you actually write code when on the BEAM rather than yaml and feels like it takes less lines to accomplish the same things


I only recently discovered minio and started using it for a project. What are you referring to by “last file system-transparent Minio version” for my own awareness?


Minio used to have a filesystem backend that would store each file as a file on the local filesystem. They removed this, so lots of people still use the last version before that.

One reason also is I believe it has something to do with fault tolerance even at a hardware level. A process has its data isolated somewhere in memory, if something happens to that memory, the process will crash next time it runs and starts causing supervisors to start attempting to recover the system


Forced decoupling between tasks is part of the deal here. Each task can fail separately because it only affects other tasks through messages.


So neat! I've been thinking of something similar to this where content creators would join their content to form channels in the original sense of the word and users would browse much like how they would on a normal TV
