There are some unique bits too. Phoenix Channels is a beautiful, shit-simple pub/sub abstraction on WebSockets and provides both JS and Elixir libraries. And then came Phoenix Presence, which can track shared state (like a user'

You should hear Chris McCord (Phoenix author) talk sometime -- he is extremely wary of sprawling design in a way that might please you. I came to Elixir from Scala but also having a Rails background. I was quite sick of Railsy magic, becau

That's the Haskell language. There are a lot of "big" concepts in the language itself, compared to just about any other language from the last 50 years that people get paid to write, but the notation isn't hard to strai

The thing is, SoundCloud took so much VC money that making a modest profit is no longer an option. The investors won't back off until they get their 10x payout or SoundCloud dies trying. I hate it when this happens.

You may want to check out the recent 2.0.0 release candidates for the Cowboy HTTP server -- HTTP/2 support is one of the changes. (It's technically Erlang, but most Elixir projects I've seen use it for HTTP, generally throug

Before this change, if you wrote a module (let's call it MyFoo) that implemented a behaviour, your only clue would be the `@behaviour Foo` near the top. All the functions in MyFoo would look the same; you'd need to look in the Fo

I use Segment, I love Segment, and I love the fact that the problem they're solving is forehead-slappingly simple: data fanout and delivery is a pain in the ass, fix it. It's one of those "but I could have done that!" b

I think of Elixir typespecs as documentation more than as overhead. Given that I'm writing comments that tell the shape of the inputs and outputs of every function anyhow, I might as well do it in a way that lends itself to static ana

Oh, screw side-effects -- Elixir is much more hardline about immutability than Scala. I'm talking about jamming half your program logic into the type system, then braying to anyone who stays still long enough about how that's the

I came to Elixir from Scala, and for me the dynamic typing is a big step forward, because now I don't have to deal with the half of the Scala community that tries to make Scala into Haskell. Between Dialyzer (a static analyzer that fin

For what it's worth, I tried a few different OSes, including Ubuntu 16.10 (which was the latest at the time), before settling on 16.04 LTS (which was released a year after the laptop came out). I plan to try 17.04 when I get some time

Thanks for the link -- I'm still hanging when unplugging from the dock, but switching to UXA and disabling 3D accel seems to have quieted the glitches down. I did try some newer kernels a few months ago, but then my wifi stopped workin

I've seen only one fixie tallbike. It's a hard thing to pull off because even at very high chain tension, a run of chain that long has a lot of slop. This one is singlespeed (you can see him coast a few times), and I am not even

A few counterpoints as I drift by: The HAL hypermedia format is in use at Comcast, powering the Xfinity TV API. Not only does it take advantage of hypermedia and HATEOAS, it also splits requests/responses in order to make the most use

Lyft offers in-app tipping, well after getting out of the car. Convenience is what people want, and Lyft makes it convenient to tip the driver whereas Uber makes it convenient to not tip the driver. I'm amazed so many people still use

Small nitpick: Lyme doesn't mimic Bell's palsy, it can cause it. Source: my face during initial onset of Lyme, September 2000. Thankfully I got and noticed the bullseye bite mark, and 21 days of amoxicillin took care of it.

AWS will sometimes reuse the container in which your Lambda runs, so if you set up e.g., database pools during load time, they're often still there the next time. Related: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/

Well, you've explained how to do multi-region in S3. Now let's cover EC2, ELB, EBS, VPC, RDS, Lambda, ElastiCache, API Gateway, and all the other bits of AWS that make up my services. And then we can move on to failover applicat

But now you're talking about added effort. Multi-AZ on AWS is easy and fairly automatic, multi-region (and multi-provider) not so much. It's easy to say things like this, but people who can do ops are not cheap and plentiful.
