None of those are equivalent. In fact they don't actually address the issue.

OTP is written in erlang. The JVM is not "more low-level" and not "more general". In fact it is impossible to do on the JVM in any JVM language what the erlang VM gives you. You literally cannot replicate erlang on th

I think it's more binary. Either the platform takes care of it for you, the way Erlang and OTP do, and thus you do your code and it just works... or the platform hides it from you and you think you're doing ok until you get bitte

The real question is: Why don't you just use Erlang or Elixir? Can you find the magic sauce in another language? I believe the honest answer is no. You can't do it in Java because the JVM doesn't support it. You can't

Erlang and Elixir solved this problem. I only write multi-threaded code in very limited cases when it makes sense to split processing out of UI on mobile devices. Everywhere else I use Elixir, and I write multi-process code and I don't

Well, with a name like that, I would naturally assume they are using super capacitors instead of lithium chemistry batteries. This would make sense if there was a challenge (or high cost) to getting sufficient current out of the cells-- bu

More name calling, no argument. Plus you also lied about what I said, which shows you feel you need to deny reality, which means you know you're being anti-intellectual. Thanks for proving my point.

I have something useful to say to this but fuck it. I get nothing but down votes here, so why bother investing time in "Hacker" news? You shouldn't be downvoted like you are, this site is full of assholes apparently. Have a

Further, we're in an industry of VPSes where cores are virtualized and divided up. a 128 core CPU could produce 128 single core VPSes with probably better performance. Of course this is consistent with your point, but your comment is

You're presuming-- and you're right-- that politicians don't actually care about fixing things, but about improving their election results. They are self interested. This is a classic example of the Principle Agent problem.

Full disclosure: I was at Startup Chile at the same time as the Regalli team. During pitch day they blew us away and I've been happy to watch their continuing success. Last year I spent nearly the full year (along with others on my tea

I saw another article that referred to this as a sign of the slowing of Moore's law. However, Moore's law has its variances so I'm not really worried about that. What I do wonder about is why we are not seeing more cores as

Oh, I could be wrong, and if that were the case, people would have arguments that point out the errors in my thinking. However, consistently, on Hacker News, and among leftists, instead of making arguments that refute my arguments with logi

How about we let citizens sue members of congress for passing legislation that violates the constitution? Instead of waiting years for the supreme court to maybe take a case, we should be able to take them to court where they have to meet a

You cannot produce value from thin air. When they produce that money, it is a form of taxation because it decreases the value of the previously produced money. Monetary inflation devalues the currency.
