That I understand. The problem is that on the way you basically reduce your server to the thin layer over DB. Exposing querying API means that you significantly lose control over what, where and how you provide from the server. We are curre

Can anybody explain to me how it's solving any problems? The way I see it they only move the responsibility to combine data from client to server. At the same time, you now don't just expose a couple of endpoints, you need to supp

Thank you very much for that. Downloaded, on read list now.

I believe this could be easily solved with a simple regulation - mandatory 50/50 sharing of downstream and upstream on customer level. How Web is supposed to be decentralized if the means of accessing it directly support centralization

I think his point is more that Web used to be plenty of smaller bubbles, with distinct culture and separate communities. Now we have only giant bubbles, which get homogenised, as everything of that scale is. I share the sentiment.

I still wonder how it's possible to start developing replacement for something as entangled in Unix culture as X, then just say "yeah, we're not going to do the killer feature of it" and have community go on with it. If

I don't really see what is the point - no new use cases, so why the power? Does Google do it only to have a premium product in the portfolio, or are they trying to access new market segment? And if it's supposed to be more univers

I do not see "women can't code" anywhere in that memo. I see "women are less likely to take interest in coding (for biological reasons possibly)" which is completely different thing.

Really? I'm pretty sure Einstein would disagree.

To better illustrate the point. I actually started with that, decided that it sounds too aggressive and added that paragraph to make that clear.

So basically you're saying that it is a preferred solution to teach kids math poorly, let them develop insecurity and aversion towards it and then spent a lot of money to let them overcome it than just do it right in the first place? Y

I couldn't develop internal understanding of calculus, so while solving the equations wasn't that hard, I never felt really comfortable with it. Discrete mathematics - total opposite. Proofs were very intuitive to me.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I have always believed that if you want people to be good at math, it's their first years of education which are important, not the last ones. In other worlds, push for STEM should be present in kindergartens

If it currently takes time T, then it already runs and probably runs right, otherwise you likely wouldn't care about cutting time. Rule still stands.

Isn't delegating(outsourcing) the whole point? Once you do not need POSIX(and POSIX itself does not require Linux specifically) and your tools take care of underlying system, why would you care about system you're running(or, to b

Actually diagram might be better suited, for example to display the difference between sequential in parallel tasks.

Well, it was pretty good ad for me, so maybe reconsider.

I do not think you should use really big corporations as example. First of all, they attract enough talent to use any methods of selection they see fit. They do not care about false negatives, since they operate on virtually unlimited pool

Well, usually you get what you optimise for. Right now HN community is raising your karma, maybe from agreement, maybe out of spite. Does it make you less knowledgable?

Been to Polyconf while it was in Poznan. Could not recommend it enough! It's a really great conference which is about methods and ideas, not languages. If you can go - go! Thank me later.

We do not all live in the USA.

Same feelings here. I genuinely do not understand how adding unobservable objects would be the right approach instead of just fixing the equations.

I do not feel competent to say exactly why is it so. The information is available on Wikipedia, probably based on Scott Aaronson survey mentioned in other comment.

It's especially interesting given that P vs NP is suspected to be unprovable in ZFC. Waiting for further development!

I believe this is the worst advice ever. Passion is a really misunderstood concept. What does it mean to be passionate about something? Does it mean enjoying doing something all the time? Well, that's just unhealthy. Does it mean you h

Out of curiosity: what does it mean to you "targeted for Rails users"? BTW, I was a Rails developer before I moved to Phoenix. Given that Phoenix is modelled after Rails that is the easiest transition there is (though it gets more

This is undoubtedly true. One thing to note though is that I believe that Elixir/Erlang model of programming just fits well with the demands of web applications. There is a lot of cognitive load you're relieved from just because t

IMHO the best way to start working with Elixir is to persuade people in your current place to give it a try. In the age of microservices it should be doable and later on it creates the market. That's what I did anyway.

1) You can argue that it makes tech much less dependent on needs of one particular entity. It can be a good or bad thing, depending on your views. 2) This one I do not agree on principle. I wish we finally stopped judging devs by "lang

Funny thing is that I have yet to see the other side of argument - when people had a bad experience with Elixir. It seems so nicely fit into its problem domain that basically everybody that starts doing it is happy with results. I guess tha
