You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. 150 years ago people weren't taking in nearly as many carbs as we are now, nor were they living as long. Diabetes, as a disease, is the breakdown of the process of your body using insu

Note that it's just the Behaviour module that's deprecated, not the concept of Behaviours. So, `@behaviour` is still there. And the reasoning is that one should instead be using `@callback` and `@macrocallback` which also are ty

I'm not an expert by any means, but one thing that's worth acknowledging here is that diseases like diabetes are a question of when, not if, with 100% of the population. That is, if nothing else kills you first, you will get dia

For the last several months I've been in a perpetual state of switching back and forth between Atom and VS Code. So far, I find myself continually frustrated. Undoubtedly, Atom is slow to start up in a new folder. But in exchange for t

Because frankly, the serverless/backendless(such as Firebase) movement is just turning Frontend developers into fullstack developers who are completely dependent on vendor lockin. I believe, wholly, in frontend-first design and thinkin

In many parts of the country, this is effectively unenforceable. California, for example.

It's a bit of a matrix for me. * Dynamic-type languages usually only take 2-3 days to start contributing, sometimes I'll even have a new PR in on day 1. * Static-type languages honestly take me awhile, usually around 1-2 weeks to

Disclaimer: I use no data, only going off of personal experience and friend circle anecdotes to create a theory. The balance is that in some ways, we have economy-wide collusion-by-default to keep wages artificially low. I know this sounds

I appreciate the response. As to some specific points: > Techniques to minimize failure are quite literally a matter of survival in a professional context; they are often an afterthought in a personal project. Fault prevention and tolera

And you've managed to try your best to denigrate me without actually stating any of the reasoning. If you would, try again, but hopefully without the ineffective sense of superiority.

Is there some way in which side project experience is different than professional experience no one has ever informed me of?

I agree with the idea of periodic pressure- mostly because it leaves you able to respond appropriately when it comes, which it always will.

There seems to be an overall attitude in these early comments that have seemed to reach a consensus of, "Those changes sound like what every company should have." Personally, I'm not sure I agree. I think it's entirely p

Thanks for that explanation, it was both thorough and frankly, illuminating in a way that I wasn't expecting. Do you think if he had kept his original memo to those acceptable points(the hostile attitude toward conservative views), tha

But the disincentive to work is that your first X amount that is under the yearly amount you get from the negative income tax would be you working and getting absolutely no benefit. That's what I'm referencing.

by quaunaut 9y ago
From what I've understood, it solves multiple problems that the negative income tax didn't, because it didn't apply to everyone. To clarify for those coming later: The negative income tax is the idea that beneath a certain am

It's worth pointing out Jose Valim both created and maintains the language, and he's a core team member of Rails. He knows what to take and what to leave behind from Elixir, and has been incredibly thoughtful so far. I'm very

It's the hardest part. Discipline. It requires creating your own system and constant reevaluation- every milestone/meeting should begin and end with how this is related to figuring out product/market fit. If possible, this is

I'm not an expert, grain of salt, etc. But to me, this is the responsibility of different funnels. Have your most generic marketing info- your landing page, etc- apply to just about anyone, but make your resources that reach out to the

This article sounds woefully out of touch with the realities of the modern web. So many of the arguments surrounding Damore talk as if this is in a vacuum, when frankly, it isn't. Much of the message it carried(and did little to discou

Phoenix will lay it out automatically for you, but changing project layout depending on the requirements of your objectives is really common in the community. However, one prominent example, is Hex.pm, the site behind the package manager fo

If I remember right, they were using Erlang at the beginning, and moved slowly to Elixir as they got more comfortable, and the ecosystem built up around them.

I mean, personally I'm using Elixir more for the language itself than OTP. I have a basic knowledge of OTP now after using the language for 2 years, but FP was my main reason for coming and staying, which for me has been the real fun o

You can generally, just Discord is getting to a level of scale where the issue has more to do with architecture than language. All of their solutions in this post were Elixir-based solutions, and have very clean, easy APIs(and so far not ve

I don't think that's what Erlang was made for at all? Erlang was never about speed, it's about reliability, availability, and ease of concurrency. And Elixir just makes it easier to access those tools.
