The community around Elixir and Erlang is also one of its best features. Everyone I've interacted with, like Jose, is kind and helpful.

I don't know of any off the top of my head or a quick google search. I do know, from the latest ElixirTalk podcast, that it's very careful about what it sends over the wire, only the parts that have changed. If you're interacting with an API to get the same information for a SPA you're probably going to have similar latencies.

Buying research data from a third-party academic and using it for campaign purposes is not the same thing as a campaign creating an app and then using the available data.

Headline: refers to a laptop

Article: several hundred words about an architecture that is not currently available in a laptop form factor and probably never will be.

Macs don't reboot without you taking an action if you have automatic update installation disabled. You have to click a button to apply the updates after which it will reboot. But it tells you this in the dialog where you agree to apply the updates. Windows just applies them and reboots when you're not actively using the machine.

Is anyone else concerned about buying a laptop from a Chinese manufacturer?

I own a number of MacBooks and while they were all assembled in China I don't have any concerns about the firmware. As more of these make it to US markets I'm sure if there is something it will come out but I'm currently taking a wait and see approach.

I've been taking this for about 6 months. Haven't noticed much other than better sleep, easier to wake upon time feeling refreshed.

Normally when immunity is exchanged there is a proffer so that the attorneys know what they're getting in exchange. They'd pull it if it was b.s.
