   It's really not. I've had a much, much worse experience with Python than Elixir / Go / Node for various reasons: lots of different tools rather than one blessed solution, people pinning specific versions in requirements

   I don't think it's recent, as far as I know. Versioning, appup / relup, etc. are really for upgrading production deployments live, when you need special instructions to pause processes or update their internal state before lo

   Version upgrades are not needed on BEAM anymore than they are in Lisp, you can just reload a module and code will start using the new version.

   That's an onigiri. Japanese food feels heavy on salt to me though, soy sauce is everywhere. Even onigiri are rather salty.

    Adding hardware doesn't improve single-request performance, so slow stacks can require a bunch of optimizing or caching work that wouldn't be needed on a faster one. At some point it also impacts productivity when the test suite i

    When I lived in a dorm in Montreal, a pizza delivery guy passed by and asked my neighbor for directions to a room, in English. He replied that he doesn't know. Obviously he does, so after helping the guy I asked my neighbor why he&#x27

    I'd give the commenter the benefit of the doubt that they measured over a few days, and not just two isolated data points.

    It goes both ways. Going to the US, the toilets make me feel like I went back a hundred years, while other stuff feels like the future...
