Dart supports full concurrency via actor-like Isolates. Currently on the web, you need to use a web worker though, yes. https://lucamezzalira.com/2013/06/11/isolates-how-to-work-wi...

A Spanner node is not related to a VM instance, they are entirely different concepts. A Spanner node refers to a collection of regional (and eventually global) compute and storage resources, while a VM instance is just a virtual machine run

I am not sure how you define 2015-class, but building a release with distillery, and running docker build on a Dockerfile that copies the tarball (that includes everything needed to run your app (ERTS, app code, NIFs, etc)) makes a docker c

AliExpress works great for this, the shipping can be a bit slow sometimes though. I like to buy random fun looking things on there and try to guess what I ordered when it finally arrives. Things are so cheap.

I haven't seen anything related to the Erlang changes, but the grisp github project has an RTEMS app which I assume is for running/compiling your Erlang apps with. The progress is really promising, I believe he just has a very hig

It's far lower power than something like Nerves, which runs a full linux kernel on top of something like a raspberry pi. Power usage is relative. At the end of the day this opens up new applications for Erlang/BEAM languages.

Go right ahead, use C/C++ based actor systems! This project is to allow Erlang ( http://erlang.org ) to run on low power embedded devices.

Somewhat, but it's very different in that it uses RTEMS, not Linux. RTEMS was built for embedded computers on missiles, and is commonly used in space applications. Nerves is a distribution of Linux buildroot, and has quite a bit of fat

I think it's good. If you're not savvy enough to do a quick google search and perform the simple (all-gui) instructions within, you're probably not savvy enough to self-manage your critical updates, either.

This is anything but seamless. As soon as I saw them slide out that webview with the vendor's site I nearly vomited. They had a chance to make buying items that users like so much more painless, but they only delivered a partial experi

Can you provide more detail, this is very intriguing. Do you mean that the types are the patterns?

Elixir is currently already compatible with Erlang 19. The work for adding support for the new features to Elixir is being worked on/tracked here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/4617

That last part sounds pretty cool, how is this sort of thing being encouraged?

This sounds pretty bad, has it been reported?

In my experience the embedded community is extremely traditional, and most projects are built using C with static memory allocation. There is a lot of excitement around Nerves in the Elixir community though, so be on the look out. I think o

VoLTE is becoming fairly prevalent now. With the new wideband codecs, quality can be quite good.

I get it, SXSW is a business, and they want to protect their profits. It makes plenty of sense. SXSW loves attention, they just chose to sit this one out because their analysis concluded that it would be better for their bottom line. They p

SXSW had the chance to take a stand for diversity here, choosing instead to show just how shallow they truly are. edit: Added clarification of which "side" I'm on

Yep. Fortunately, you can also build a RumpRun Kernel using Erlang as of a few months ago. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it could provide true bare metal.

See: SBIRS, and missile defense in general. There are also issues with updating the location of carriers, since communications can be jammed and carriers are not stationary. Just being able to know when something is launched (SBIRS) gives t

Here is a semi-recent benchmark for Phoenix, which is written in Elixir (runs on the Erlang VM, BEAM). I think it will give you a decent idea of the differences: https://gist.github.com/omnibs/e5e72b31e6bd25caf39a I wo

Official, full support, instead of a custom implementation where it can take weeks to add support for a new service that's already a part of the C++ lib. Also, there are some newer languages out there that don't have quality libra

My journey into computing basically started with PC gaming. I wanted to be able to start my DOS games whenever I wanted, instead of relying on my mom to do it for me. I had to learn what the drive letters were, and how to start the various

I like Elixir because of its ability to do distributed computing, fault tolerance/HA, binary pattern matching, speed, and more. You don't need Elixir, but it makes a lot of stuff much easier to do.
