I wonder if the unions would be friendly to a kind of affiliate relationship, and/or paying dues into a kind of program like the deposit insurance that banks pay to FDIC, but for strike insurance or something?

Sounds fair on both counts... Good news from José above that the official MSSQL support is coming soon and will be merged into ecto_sql package.... and like I said, if you (or someone else) decides they want to work on updating the old ec

I don't think that's nearly as close to Carbon5's logo as the SiFive logo is to Carbon5's, but fair point, there's always overlap in these... when I posted that I actually couldn't see the difference between th

I'll briefly weigh in with others that you don't need to know Erlang, at least not Erlang syntax, to be effective in Elixir, and the semantics are identical. I think it's useful at some point to learn that all Elixir modules

I guess it depends on your needs and motivation... we recently completed the transition from Ecto2 to Ecto3, and while not totally trivial in our case, I think you could do in a way that wasn't hard if you maintained compatibility wit

Is there some connection to CarbonFive[0], the consultancy, or did they just.... um... completely duplicate their logo by accident or something? [0] https://www.carbonfive.com/

As long as mentioning big projects like this, I'm a fan of givewell.org. Originally they just measured various charities effectiveness, though now they also offer to operate as a (fairly transparent) pass-through. I'm sure chari

I don't know about the ratios (or how a user looking through could really tell what the true ratio is) but as far as none of them having a decent matching algorithm... I'm a big fan of OkCupid here... (I know they were aquired by

I still haven't finished reading it end-to-end, but I love the form and shape of Hofstadter's "Le Ton beau de Marot"[0] which is sort of an extended dialogue on the difficulty, beauty and/or impossibility of transla

To be fair, GC only collects memory and Rust's ownership manages ownership of other resources like files and ports and stuff too as I understand it!

This looks a lot like 33mail ( https://33mail.com/ ) which I've been using pretty happily for 4-5 years now (and paying I think $10-15 a year for, so a lot less than this on a per month basis, but they're not strict

With no personal knowledge here my guess is that's just marketing speak, and the real reason it was removed is... well... Slack is an enterprise product and a lot of enterprises don't want or need this, and the idea of a vector fo

Seconded... it's early days but it's nice to finally see a good successor to ScreenHero, which was never fully integrated into slack as well as it worked before aquisition, and with this change it's sort of like it's dea

Hah, sorry, also posted a similar response in parallel but on parent! I had to google though, I couldn't remember if maybe Elixir used Core Erlang, I'm still a little fuzzy on where that's used and if any important relation t

I like the idea, but I think most users never would/could author their own UI's, and many who could would only want to a small percentage of the time.... but maybe your idea could work if there was essentially an API marketplace A

I'm wondering about applications of this to robotics? Like, could this replace any of the needs/uses for force-feedback sensors in robotics, and/or for all the cool stuff Dexter[1] is doing to precisely locate it's arm

Also commented below but the idea here was not actually mutation but safe and dangerous versions of methods... E.g, below insert is mentioned and it has no safer version so it has no ! version... Elixir adopted this convention from Ruby als

Didn't know whether to respond here or above to parent, but ! In stdlib of Ruby does not indicate mutation but "dangerous version"... Often the same thing but I believe all methods in std lib with a bang also have a noo-bang

Do you mean ReplayTV? I owned a Tivo at some point but replayTV was great because it auto-detected ads and had an option (or default behavior?) of skipping them automatically. Tivo you had to manually push 30 second skip 6 times.
