   Mainly because the relup functionality is a bit complicated and not always clear, Learn You Some Erlang explains some context [1]. It does depend a bit on the situation, in some cases it's easy to recompile a module in a running system

   To be fair though many Erlang programmers also avoid hot loading code. For the rest, nice summary.

   I'm using Erlang for a production system at work and I completely agree, the error messages tend to be terrible. Once you've run into many errors you start recognizing patterns though (part of the problem is that the errors are no

   I feel like this is a good place to recommend the Radiolab episode Words [1], though it's not so much about consciousness as about language, the development of language, and communication without a shared language. I found it a very in

   It seems, nothing! I was just wrong about GKE being expensive, not sure why I thought that (though it seems that until late 2017 they did have costs per cluster).

   GKE and EKS are very expensive which in my opinion makes using them unattractive for smaller scale projects. But Digital Ocean now offers managed Kubernetes for free, I've played around with it and it actually seems really easy to set

   Thanks for the kind words! I would honestly be curious to see a low light comparison with (older or newer) DSLRs. You might be right that the comparisons on this blog post exaggerate the performance because the XS is just terrible, but the

   These night mode shots are seriously impressive. This might give DSLR manufacturers something to catch up with.

   I wasn't aware of AWS Batch. Looks like that might actually be more suitable for this use case, so thanks for mentioning it :)

    I like using Fargate for one-shot tasks that are easy to split up. I used it a couple of times for summary tasks on large batches of satellite data (100s of GBs). Set up a docker image that takes the month for which to do the analysis as en

    Yeah biochar is very interesting. We definitely shouldn't massively start using it in the short term though - its effects are not so well understood. Most "knowledge" is based on terra preta, Amazonian dark soil which is hund

    In the Netherlands you can't take bikes on trains during rush hour either (officially - you're likely to get away with it).

    Docker is not only about having reproducible environments. I mostly work as a single developer and I use Docker all the time, mainly because I like the isolation properties and because it's super easy to launch certain services (e.g. s

    Pretty cool! My vision keeps shifting to the left though if I don't actively counter-rotate to the right. It makes it a bit hard to keep looking at the same object.

    I'm working mostly in Erlang and from what I can tell there is quite some demand for Erlang and Elixir developers. Also there seems to be a lot of demand for Scala developers which while based on Java is not the same as those 10 langua

    At the end you mention you may have found a good resource to improve your writing. Which resource is that? It's something I want to get better at as well.

    I'm pretty sure Erlang, Prolog and Forth would blow your mind.

    I don't know if you find spacemacs disturbingly slow while editing or just when it starts. I was disturbed by the latter and have emacs set up to run in daemon mode and have the following in my .bashrc: function em() { emacsc

    The idea that a piece of meat is more nutritious than the same mass in plant matter is not in conflict with the idea that an ecosystem can feed more vegetarians than omni/carnivores.

    This is great, thanks! I was wondering where the guy who made the other documentary got the old footage.

    Yeah I really recommend the documentary 180° South [1] which has both Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (The North Face) and has them talking about their philosophy and conservation efforts as well. (A guy retraces a journey thes

    This is a bit different but also an example that made me realize I unconsciously recognize some things I'm unaware of (the difference between pouring hot and cold water): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri_4dDvcZeM
