This is very interesting. I tried to use swiftkey chinese beta many years ago, but couldn't accept it because it only allowed pinyin input with simplified characters. Currently I use Google Zhuyin keyboard (which also has a pinyin mode

Thanks for sharing, and glad things are going well. I would say, though, regardless of age you should get it checked out. (not just if you're 40+) I was diagnosed with stomach cancer aged 33, which is highly abnormal, but... it happene

The UK has a good selection in general, but living before in Hong Kong the selection was very sparse, including from Netflix's own content.

Thanks for the extra info. For comparison, though, Dave Thomas' "Programming Elixir" doesn't even mention them.

I read it a while ago, but I remember it being pretty useful. Some of the elixir bits are now out of date. (eg. it still has a section on Records) But it touched on a lot of OTP topics that were missing from other places. (this was before B

This is kind of how it works in Hong Kong, but a bit more convoluted.

I agree, Feels very natural and comfortable speaking Chinese. I think he's just trying to sound excited, to make the video more compelling.

Postgres had hstore for a few years before that which solved similar use cases, but was only key value (no nested objects)

The point that's being made is that the currency exchange rate and the cost of an engineer (converted to USD) are independent.

I've never tried Soylent, but I do have to drink Ensure many times a day. Ensure has a massive market, $billions in annual sales, and medically proven results. The medical market is not where Soylent is going right now, But it is mass

If you're interested in this, I recommend Martin Kleppmann's book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" which is a longer form discussion of these topics. http://dataintensive.net

I wonder if future work might support C Extensions in the same was as the jruby truffle / graal implementation plans to do. Here's a great article from a couple of years ago by Chris Seaton on this topic. http://chrisse

Totally agree, Google Container Engine (hosted kubernetes) plus managed Postgresql would be my dream setup.

I've been in (and around) Hong Kong since 2010. Hong Kong is a beautiful country, a bustling dynamic city, with fantastic natural features on every side. However it lost the ability to innovate, it became too expensive to live in, and

Re: github I can understand why on-premises git is better in some ways. But you're overstating the frequency of github outages. And it doesn't exactly kill the business when it's down for an hour. Git is distributed after all

I've never learned Japanese, nor spent much time there. From my brother who studied Japanese for a while, the Kanji was a real blocker for him. So I did wonder what it'd be like, given I already know a good amount of Chinese chara

True point. That's normally how you'd do a hashing upgrade * decide an upgrade window * each time a user logs in check their hash version, upgrade if necessary * the upgrade period expires * if you can, force log out all non-upgra
