Judging from past experiences here on HN and other programming echo chambers, I'd wager that Elixir is currently at the beginning of its hype cycle (somewhere between 'technology trigger' and 'peak of inflated expectatio

It is really annoying if you have expensive gear, for instance professional audio interfaces.

Yeah, it is horrible. Why limit your professional life, team, workplace and day to day exchanges to a tiny pool of people when there are billions of people who inhabit planet earth.

by kitsune_ 10y ago
The billions of poor people on this globe have nothing to do with the current crisis. The vast majority of green house gases have been emitted by countries with a relatively stagnant population growth curve. The pareto principle roughly app

This is just awful. We have 800 gigatons of CO2 emissions left for having a 66% chance of staying under 2 degrees C of warming. We currently emit 40 billion tons of CO2 per year. We need to cut emissions drastically, starting yesterday. Fre

There is actually a very simple solution to reduce consumption: The carbon tax. Massively reducing consumption means, for instance: * Eating less meat * Frequent flyers massively reducing long haul flights across the world * Getting rid of

See, the thing is we don't have 100 years left, because despite what the skeptics might think, climate science is a mature science. Fourier realized back in 1824, that solar radiation alone is not enough to warm earth to its temperatur

This is very ignorant, Switzerland 's foreign population is over 20%, in a city like Zurich it's a third. http://blog.tagesanzeiger.ch/datenblog/wp-content/uploads/si...

As a European living in a country where people of all walks of life regularly use public transportation systems the attitudes present in this thread are a bit shocking.

Angular2 is not about two-way data binding. Angular2 is much more similar to React in that data flows downwards and events upwards.

The angular core team from Google even has technical PM that handles business relationships. I've recently been to AngularConnect in London - from what I've gathered their future focus is also very much about ease of use. They try

Your site recognizes that I'm from Switzerland and even displays the price in CHF, however, Switzerland is no where to be found on justwatch.com. How am I supposed to find out your current line up?

Is this a trustless system? If so, what is the game theoretic aspect of it, what nodes do the mining and what are their incentives? If it is not, what prevents you from implementing a traditional distributed system with traditional consensu

I still don't see the point in a 'permissioned blockchain' without proof of work. If you just put Paxos / Raft / any other consensus protocol on top of a 'blockchain', all you're basically doing is re

Does this company have any 'official' relation to Paxos, the consensus protocol? This sounds like an incredibly unfortunate and potentially misleading name. Addendum: I'm by no means an expert on this subject, but are't

The vast majority of software developers in Switzerland will never, ever make 190'000 CHF a year.

That's one of the dirty little secrets with end to end tests that almost no one talks about. You will probably spend more time running after ghosts in the machine than finding actual bugs.

Nothing man made is ever black and white. There is no universal physical law of morality. We can describe two different acts with the same word: > A guy stole a sandwich from a super market because he was starving > A guy stole a Ferr

Responsibility is nothing in this context without accountability. Accountability is usually pushed down the chain.

I have an i7 930, I bought in 2010. Like hell I could benefit from a USD 600 iPad Pro. His statement actually only shows me how preposterous it is to buy an iPad.

Hachette isn't stupid. Amazon has a publishing arm, and of course, more importantly, has the Kindle. By lowering the prices Amazon gets people to buy into their eco-system . As a publisher you don't want a single distrubutor con

What about the Xeon-D? Slap together a couple of those Mini-ITX SoC's together... very low TDP.

I don't know how to put this, but as leftist I've followed the discussion about safe spaces, GamerGate, "SJWs", minorities in tech, etc. with utter bewilderment. There is so much toxic language on both sides that I'

I wouldn't be so sure. Recently Nat Geo featured a place that is located 10 miles from where I live on their cover ('Places of a life time', Äscher, Switzerland) and it's now over-run by tourists.

This doesn't alleviate the big problem with command hierarchies. If the top decision is wrong, and the commander in chief / CEO is ignorant to the advice of their subordinates, there usually is no other recourse than mutiny (war t

Another great science fiction author from the USSR's sphere of influence is Stanislaw Lem from Poland - Tarkovsky also adapted a book of his - Solaris, which I personally find to be one of Lem's weaker works.
