1. Once I got the hang of the functional programming paradigm it suddenly felt like a huge weight off my shoulders. I love never thinking about objects and the OO approach. 2. Concurrency is built in so thoroughly that there is an entire

I honestly don't understand why Elixir and the Erlang/BEAM ecosystem haven't taken over the software world more completely. It is inconceivable to me to begin a new web app using Ruby on Rails when I could use Elixir and Pho

This seems to be an issue even for plug-in hybrids, which in my view are a far more intelligent solution than all-electric vehicles. The all-electric portion covers 90% of the trips you take, and the gas portion gives you basically unlimit

One of the biggest childishness-in-adulthood trends I've noticed is people supporting Trump. I could see a fourth-grader falling for Trump's schtick, maybe even a seventh-grader, but beyond that age supporting Trump is just a sig
