> Biggest weakness would be maturity. Has there been any progress towards a preemptive scheduler? Otherwise, I'd think that's the most obvious weakness.

I took a job at a game studio because it was one of the few places that was looking for Erlang developers (one of three in the area at the time). It was also my first professional programming gig after having done programming as a hobby for

Your `cat` command doesn't take multiple arguments, which is ironic since it's supposed to concatenate multiple files.

Lots of countries in Europe are very small in population and/or geography. Lots of them also served as the bedrock for civilization. I don't know if the purpose of your comment is to somehow try to minimize the conflict, but you m

We use REST for both internal and external calls to services (a mistake, in my opinion) and while Erlang actually has frameworks for this, none of them are good and cowboy_rest requires lots of boilerplate. Doing it with Phoenix would cut o

Learning how the BEAM works and the architectural decisions that make sense for running your system on it is the realistic growth path for any serious BEAM developer. This has nothing to do with any of the languages on the BEAM, but with w

FreeBSD is pretty battle tested, both for NAS stuff and in general.

Do you feel bad at all about apparently making a business out of crawlers, but still apparently viewing it as bad enough that you want countermeasures against it? Don't you feel a slight bit hypocritical about this?

No, you're completely right in that 16 GB RAM is not considered low-end. You only have to browse for laptops for about 2 minutes to discover that 16 isn't at all "low-end".

What I'm saying is that a company that hires remotely very likely won't have issues hiring, because they haven't arbitrarily decided that what they do requires everyone to be in the same office. If you're trying to hire

What a world we could have if companies realized they could sidestep this problem entirely if they hired remote workers.

Uber strikes me as a particularly bad example of this, to be honest. It's a company that's built on ignoring and circumventing the law and growth at any cost. Them not respecting worker laws and basic decency doesn't surprise

I know from experience that comments on GlassDoor usually tend to err on the side of caution because people are afraid that saying too much will reveal too much of them. I've seen it first hand, having worked at a company owned by a ge

I'm not sure I follow, sorry. The line says that we also pledge to produce a Semiring from this Foldable structure. Given it's a length function it's about as general a specification I think you can give it without becoming s

Surely the proper way to do length is to have it be, essentially: length :: forall f a n. Foldable f => Semiring n => (f a) -> n `length` is not specific to any one type and it's a complete waste to think of it as som

For all practical purposes, the most popular implementations are the language. You can only ignore that in an academic context.

In any one single instance it's not that interesting, but considering probably half (if not more) of the stuff you interact with uses libcurl, it adds up to a lot.

I don't think other people should necessarily have to accept that you prefer not to keep your child reasonably quiet, as an example, in public. Understanding that kids will be kids doesn't mean understanding that you as a parent p

When I asked for your real opinion on this I thought it was obvious that I asked what it was that made SV special... Not for you to again state that you think it's special.

Precisely this is the reason I've lost hope with regards to OCaml as a main language. Multicore, specifically, is one of those things that has been "close" for so long that it's looking like a Duke Nuke'em Forever f

In practice languages don't need to be popular for you to use them. They might be hard sells to bosses and the like, but there is room for impopular technology in the market as well. All you need is a main advocate with enough sway wit
