As an european I think the Brexit is actually beneficial for us in the middle/longterm. - International companies will move from GB to ireland/continent, germany is in a good position to capture the financial industry (Frankfurt),

Sounds good! I am actually waiting for this exact feature before starting my next project, since I have to deal with a lot of time range queries (all items from the Last 48h, ...) I really appreciate the work of you all!

You'll feel instantly at home in phoenix, since you know more or less what MVC, migrations, ... are about. Then you'll dig deeper into und the actual syntax (a week for rubyists before it clicks?). Dont give up, its awesome. Then

are the new calendar-types from elixir 1.3 already rolled into phoenix/ecto?

I am fed up with OOP languages for now and Elixir itself as a language just "clicks" for me, like Ruby did years ago. I worked with dozens of languages in the past, and only very few of them made me outright happy while reading&#x

If only the Erlang VM would be a little bit faster at string operations and number crunching at runtime. Using Elixir is really really great, but if I could do some heavier text analysis without resorting to NIFs it would be great. Maybe we

I honestly do not think that DL is the answer. It's just a special use case of NN with multiple layers, and NNs itself are just one school of machine learning, IMO not even the most promising one.

I believe more and more that some self-taught software-tinkerer somewhere in the middle of nowhere will have the final idea about how machine learning should work, discovering some simple principles hiding in plain sight. Suddenly, it all w

There is absolutely no tech talent shortage in europe, but there is a shortage in cheap tech talent, not only in europe. Businesses want young developers (<30y), with a broad skillset (fullstack ninja, ...), only a little bit of experi

Jobs are for machines. Not so distant future. Only a few percent of people are then needed to do actual work, and mostly because they freely choose to do so... Like agriculture in the past: only .0X of people can feed us all, so to speak. 8

Before Reading any article, just hit the "reading mode" Button of safari/firefox. This eliminates every Source of frustration very effectively and removes distractions alltogether.

splitting the load through multiple node processes is fine for simple usecases and in general you're fine if you do mostly IO stuff. But there are usecases that have to crunch numbers or do other CPU intensive algorithms that can be pa

Elixir/Phoenix, Go/ , Rust/ ... should all outperform node.js easily, plus they're actually parallel and not just concurrent AND are much more solid languages to begin with.

Go itself is a cool tool. Crosscompiling stuff, a great standard library, nice toolkits like gorilla and marshalling from/to structs/json/xml comes in handy for small everyday tasks and the primitive imperative style combined

Naming things is hard, at least the current name is straightforward, sort of. googling "pure css [x]" isn't very good either IMO. Shameless self-plug: https://medium.com/@Hisako1337/very-fast-naming-proce

But with the namespace, you can avoid name collisions. As I see it, VCL components can be used standalone, even when you already use a different UI framework, so this makes sense for me.

Cool, this looks like a great set of visual components to design SPAs with.... kinda bootstrap with many plugins but also lightweight. One question: does it have an easy way to implement a responsive off-canvas menu or do I need to roll it

The interesting part would be how much such a service would cost: bringing together people with "problems" and "hitmans" for an airbnb-like network/arbitrage model. Or could prices be crowdsourced, so e.g. a few hou

Personally I don't care much for VR in general. It's more like the new opium for the masses once it's affordable. While VR promotes escaping in virtual realities (hence, the name), Apple is looking for ways to improve your ac

You should try the reading-mode button in safari/firefox. Pretty much the very first thing I do on any article before I start reading.

I tell them, but this particular topic doesn't seem to be a huge issue that interests them, like virus protection for windows. Some just default install free protection, some ignore it and re-install their computers from scratch yearly

I use it for safety, bandwith reduction, performance gains, and to not get distracted while focussing/researching. In that order of importance.

I think you mean the specific plugin "Adblock Plus", other blockers like uBlock don't do this AFAIK.

I'd say first and foremost it's exciting as a (purely virtual) software developer to actually do things in the real world through devices. Excitement drives hype, and so on. For the usage side, i think the actual useful stuff is

I agree with the view that the current IoT-stuff is mostly scam and utter garbage. No doubt. People are playing around and startups want to hit a homerun desperately. But these early stages won't last too long... Having said this, I ca
