With Elixir, you can use Erlang libraries(or just plain Erlang) right inside of it, very similar to what you describe with Scala! I've never used Scala personally, and my Java programming was all school-related, so sadly I just don&#x2

How ironic, I was wondering just last night when 1.2 would be released. I'm a newcomer to Elixir, and have really been enjoying it. As a Python->Rubyist, it's been really interesting to finally hit a functional language, and so

Had to get one last one of these in for the year. The last dozen just weren't enough. Nothing like tilting at windmills.

This is such an unhealthy way to view the world, so full of cynicism and an easy path to self-loathing. > Not achieving "success" (failing) is rarely free: it leaves emotional and physical scars.. Repeat it a couple of times an

Totally. I don't have a degree myself, so I know that sometimes the best candidates don't look like it on paper. I was just making a generalization, not meaning to only target the overqualified.

Then let it matter in the organization, but there's no reason to perpetuate that kind of worldview to the rest of the community. Hopefully corporate attitudes toward work categories changes in the future. It only leads to inefficiency

I find it fascinating how obsessed people are with titles. Edit: I code, but I honestly couldn't care less what someone else calls themselves. If I'm interviewing them, they'd have to prove their abilities in the relevant cod

For what it's worth, I use Atom on a daily basis. In the end, outside of editing git messages, it just isn't that important that my editor be that fast- and for the average bit of web development during the day, it's more t

Atom is a slow, bulky, often difficult to manage editor. It's also the easiest to extend, modify, and generally make into the perfect(if slow) editor. Also, it has the prettiest themes. But I'd be fooling myself if I didn't s

Cultural appropriation is one hell of an issue. I've never seen it defined in a way that doesn't seem ripe for this kind of abuse. Some define it as someone of one culture adopting qualities of another culture wholesale- which beg

The real killer app here is the ability to play videos in the background as music for your phone. Most of my favorite music isn't available on Spotify/Apple Music/etc, but quite a bit of it is on Youtube. It'd be interes

You don't give the government access to their own door. The company simply retains the right to access things- you know, the same way we have it now. All it's arguing, is to say "You don't have to encrypt literally every

I'm not arguing to break encryption. And neither is the white house. They want ways around this stuff- ways that don't break encryption, but if the information is available, then the ability to get to it if necessary. Backdoors do

But wiretaps over SSL are worthless unless you want to spend a year letting the computer run, which isn't possible thanks to that provision in the law requiring a speedy trial.

You think this stuff is just anti-terrorism? The whole reason I even MENTIONED the idea of a warrant is specifically for normal policework. It's the same as searching someone's house after a murder's taken place- just now, in

We've agreed as a country that the ability to get a warrant in the case of probable cause is a good thing. How is this not just maintaining that? I find it hilarious how often privacy advocates manage to forget that we've had this

They are encrypting it locally. It isn't anything to doubt- it's been shown time and time again. Nowhere in the payload that gets sent to them is your key. The only way you could consider your passwords compromised is if you think

I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.

Like most things in programming, 'it depends'! What's your background? If it's in a more interpreted language like Ruby or Python, learning Elixir instead might be a good idea. If you want something that's going to
