People on here and on other networks often use CDN to refer to Canada, which I have found confusing. People use it for e.g. hashtags like #'cdnpol or #'cdnmedia .

I finally looked it up and according to a random commenter on a page[0] on The Guardian's website and according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internat… (marked "citation needed") it's for the Canadian DominioN.

In the Olympics, Canada is CAN.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…

The ISO alpha-3 code is also CAN.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166…

So it seems it's really just the car sticker thing that got this peculiar abbreviation. And now social media.

@:flan_whmage: :flan_q: I did not know that! I've been aware of Erlang, Elixir, EFL (Erlang-Flavored Lisp), that's it.

This is great too, Sandstorm on accordion, recorder, mandolins, violins and more. They even have their reenactment of the video, stealing a violin case and chasing through a snowy Finnish town.

It's just the greatest when you add automation, it's impossible to get any of the affected people to verify that it's working correctly and helping them, so you just have to move on and hope that they'll contact you if anything's wrong.

... and then three years later they tell you btw, that thing you added made things worse because it did 70% of the work and we've been manually canceling and redoing the work ever since.

Hey @WimⓂ️ @:flan_whmage: :flan_q: @Vertigo #$FF @Chris, you all mentioned BEAM, do you think my characterization above is fair?

It supports Elixir in addition to Erlang, but that's hardly supporting "multiple languages", as Elixir is written with Erlang and BEAM in mind.

@iooioio

@iooioio It's my impression that it's highly specific to the way Erlang operates. Even the way it does area-based memory allocation is dependent on many short-lived isolated processes, so, very idiomatic for Erlang.

But I can't say I've looked at it closely, others are more than welcome to interject and protest.

Exponential fedi browsing is on hold until the current tab group is below 89 tabs.

Interesting timelines go into new tab groups for future exploration.

Do the Annie Awards not provide motivations for their wins?

I would expect a "... unique ... captures the ... especially the ...", but all the reporting and the award home page is just "movie #3 won category G kthxbai".

If you want to ve unique, don't do it on the ukulele, do something original, like banging plastic tubes.

I heard a passage in the mall muzak that made me wonder, did anyone on youtube play Sandstorm on the ukulele?

Oh boy, did they ever.

The kind of interview with an interesting and thoughtful person that only Seth Meyers can get.

#AmandaSeyfried talks about her chickens, her goats, #ElizabethHolmes and the Theranos drama series #TheDropout

Ok, "The Dropout" looks like a fascinating and part hilarious series.

"Hello, Walgreens. Welcome to Theranos."

So For All Mankind S2 was a bit slow for me and when I had a severe cold a few weeks ago and didn't have patience for anything cerebral I switched to more instant gratification media like old DC cartoons and The Orville (which turned out to be surprisingly cerebral, but still easy to chew).

Now I got back on S2 and wow, it landed running. The second half was all adrenalin and I was hooked. So intense. Such high stakes! And the cliffhangers for S3 promise awesome adventure and sinister drama.

Onward to #ForAllMankindS3!
