(Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft) I have a Surface Book that work gave me. It's quite nice, but I don't really use it all that much because most of my work is on Mac. But I like it quite a lot. If I didn't need a Mac to buil

I've been seeing some items that are ONLY sold by 3rd party sellers. For example, go search on Amazon for Nintendo Switch. I get it, there isn't much stock out there.. but on Amazon there is no way to say, "Pre-order for when

There have been a number of stories about laptops and mobile phones exploding due to issues with batteries. Fortunately the author here managed to get the Mac into a reasonably safe place just before it really exploded and he got away with

It feels like it's not very effective, but that may be because there needs more weight of numbers behind it. If you're in a progressive area like the Bay area I can see how it would just add extra load to officials who may not nee

Paint.Net used to be MIT licensed. I don't really know why he went back to closed source but I saw a comment he wrote where he said that releasing the source brought him only misery. Does anyone know any details about that? For anyone

And yet Chris still thought he was fit to lead the group. Maybe in a project leadership role it's not all about how many commits you make?

Obama was asked about pardoning Edward Snowden (not that long ago I think) and my recollection of his response was that he said he didn't have the power to pardon someone who hadn't yet been convicted of a crime.

I know I'm probably a minority of HN users and other tech enthusiasts on this issue, but I'm totally uninterested in VR. I've tried it a few times and my general impression was, "Neat." That's a far cry from a

The first job I had after graduating from school was at Scaleform, which was Brendan's first company. I certainly wouldn't say I got to know him all that well or anything, but he definitely was into the code and the product. I cou

My wife and I each have a car. Most married people I know each have a car, so to me that's not ridiculous at all. My new neighbors, though, are ridiculous in their car ownership (in my opinion). They are a married couple with only a ne

I never wanted to do business with WF in the first place, but I bought a house a few years ago and the mortgage company sold my mortgage to WF. Being forced to be someone's customer against your will sucks.

It's really hard for me to imagine spending that much time doing cardio+strength training every day. I went to music school and I used to practice around 6-7 hours a day, every day. And even after switching to software I still practice

Certainly if you go outside the US there are. Supposedly Stiftskeller in Salzburg was established in 803. Yeah, over a thousand years earlier. http://www.stpeter-stiftskeller.at/en/the-restaurant.html

Even in these cases Erlang/Elixir processes can be a useful way of designing your app. Off the top of my head, here are a couple obvious use cases I can think of: Basic state storage in between requests. Maybe you're building a si

I don't think anything is hidden, it's just a different syntax. The only thing that's really changed is that in some of the Elixir modules they've changed the order of parameters to make them consistent. I use Elixir and

No. In a Rails system you've got Rails running, maybe across X number of instances with Unicorn or whatever, sitting behind nginx. If you want to have a long-running request or websocket you've typically used Go or Node or Elixir.

I would love to see that too! The one thing that comes to mind is that since each process has its own isolated memory space, Erlang's GC is not a "stop the universe" kind of thing, the GC can run in parallel with other proc

I'm still fairly new with Elixir/Phoenix (as I think most of us still are), but so far I feel intuitively that it's more maintainable and I admit that I don't have the experience or numbers to back that up yet. There are

This is pretty cool. I've kind of moved on to Elixir and Phoenix for my web stuff these days, but it's still nice to see Rails going strong.

You'll probably find Phoenix a much easier to get started in. The database layer will feel weird and foreign to you, but you'll feel right at home with everything else. And after awhile you'll probably start to appreciate the
