Things like battery life, suspend/resume and proper handling of multiple/hidpi displays are the Achilles heels of open source projects. They are notoriously hard to get right, require lots of work invested, and easy to break (regr

One piece of advice: go for Erlang, not Elixir. The syntax is much nicer, and you get a really mature environment. Also, 90% of Elixir is Erlang anyway. I don't know too much about Elixir, but for implementing web services just use the

The Groovy compiler feels like a half-baked product, just as the language. It cannot decide if it wants to be a statically typed language or a dynamic one. It happens all too often that I have to manually cast stuff because the compiler can

It does, but it highlights many things as issues which compile just fine.

On newer kernels (4.8+) and latest Ubuntu my Thinkpad L390 freezes consistently when I try to suspend. It's gotten a bit better with 5.0.0.31, now suspend works 50% of the cases when I select it manually from the menu, and the laptop i

"C ... statically typed" C is just an assembler with macros, so I think this is a bold statement... "Haskell and every other functional-oriented programming language in its class, such as elixir, erlang, most lisps, even if t

The new Porsche is interesting for the same reason that an S-Klasse Mercedes is interesting: it showcases cutting-edge tech (such as the 800V battery that allows extra-fast charging) that will eventually trickle down to lower classes of ele

Plasma (KDE) sucks at handling multiple displays. I had to learn this the hard way. It's OK if you only ever use the laptop screen.

I'm on an earlier model (9343 from 2015) and after the first ~6 months of "beta testing" it actually got quite good and reliable... ...until about a few months ago, when - I suspect due to a kernel upgrade to the 5.0 series -

Although I'm not sure what you mean by "deep learning", you can take a look at Spark: https://spark.apache.org/mllib/ As a bonus, it IS Python (numpy) in the background mixed with Scala. So you can use e

That (the preemptive scheduler) and OTP/gen_server, which covers about 90% of the cases Erlang should be used for anyway. These are the foundations of Erlang-land, however, sadly neither of those have equivalents in Akka or on the JVM.

Instead of starting a new project from scratch, why not reanimate synaptics and fix the annoying bugs? Are there licensing issues? Is it not open source? Or is there some underlying technical problem that makes this hard/unfeasible?
