I imagine a good chunk of that value is being placed on the team they acquired. They're a proven mobile dev shop with a well recognized name in an "up and coming" Berlin startup scene, who already have a major success under t

There are more options than just "Entirely Open Concept" or "Individual Cubicles"! There can be a mix of the two, or other things. My ideal scenario would be majority open areas, but with plenty of more secluded rooms&#x

I've used Mongo in two large projects and have mixed feelings about it. Pros: It's great for building your MVP. Super easy to get up and running, super easy to work with at a superficial level (I'm talking about storing data

I'm actually surprised that MongoDB saved your write-heavy app. In my experience, it's Mongo's poor write throughput that causes the most headaches. This 3.0 release finally begins to address that with collection and document

I think you're equating all sports with American Football. Which, granted, is more or less what the original article did as well. I totally agree about the military displays, the nationalism and religious overtones that get mixed in wi

Exactly, this is the opposite of news. Other things they probably do more than non-prisoners: stare at the wall, push-ups, chess and/or card games, walk in a circle.

I'm probably missing something in the definition of "thermal window".

So if, in the future, this material was in heavy use atop buildings and dwellings across the planet, and the heat is all being radiated out the same thermal window, does this mean that at some set distance from the earth, there's a rin

Is it therefore possible to use Erlang libraries in an Elixir application, or to "drop to Erlang" in places where it could be advantageous?

Trailblazer looks interesting, and there are a lot of good ideas in here. One issue I have with it after reading the documentation is that the code is organized around "Concepts" and at the core of each Concept appears to be a sin

JSON rendering performance is a major concern for most of my Rails apps, and I'm wondering the same thing. I've not used Roar ( https://github.com/apotonick/roar ) before which is what Trailblazer uses for JSON

Sounds similar to Node.js in that regard then. Lots more boilerplate and conventions you need to develop yourself.

So does this mean Erlang only makes sense if you work for a big company or have a large team to implement it properly? (I'm responding in light of davidw's edit which you may not have seen).

Currently the only services supported are S3, DynamoDB, and Kinesis. Seems like a no-brainer that they'll be adding other services though.

You can't, yet. They have plans to add "other languages" on their roadmap.

My extensive experience of being a PayPal seller is quite the contrary. People request a charge back, PayPal "encourages" them to contact you, which essentially is just an extra step in the charge back process that they can skip,

Sorry I'm not well versed in BGP (or bitcoin for that matter). I was hoping for someone with more domain knowledge to confirm or set me straight. Probably wasn't very clear by my terse initial comment.
