As an Erlang developer for the past couple years now, I love seeing the adoption and excitement around Elixir and the BEAM. I will admit I always shudder when people very quickly call out on Erlang's syntax as a reason not to use it. F

Reading this made me think a lot about "Brave New World". The beginning of the book triumphantly describes the conditioning of newborns to optimize economic contribution. A really good but dark read.

I did a take home assignment a couple years ago where it was time constrained to 2 hours. At first, the idea sounded cool: nobody looking over your shoulder, I can listen to my music, use my tools, and work in my most productive environment

This is similar in emergency situations. When you need somebody to call 911, don't ever say "Somebody please call 911!". You have to look at someone, point at them, and tell them "I need you to call 911". Most peo

I think you may be conflating the Halting Problem. The problem simply states whether it can be determined that a program, given a set of inputs, will eventually halt. Attempting to use a null pointer can be deterministic at compile time but

I understand the rationale behind your comment but I think it expresses a form of emotion when including something like "unfortunately" to an already negative statement. It feels like an expression of regret. Personally, saying so

I just described a home that is $100k less than the $1MM example. The property tax rate in San Jose is roughly 1.3% of the price of the home you bought it at. So for $1MM, you're looking at $13k in property taxes, not to mention a high

Where did you get 3k a month for housing?? Remember, this is an 80-10-10 loan which means you have two loans. I have a 80-10-10 loan for a roughly $900k house and the first mortgage is $3400/mth (30 year fixed at 4.15%) and the seco

The apartment complex i lived in while in Rapid City, South Dakota was $650 (2011-2012)...How many places in the US do you think have $500 rent where you need no roommates, completely functional (A/C, heat, working kitchen), in a low-c

You missed the student debt part. There's a lot of people I know (my brother included) who went to the more expensive schools for various reasons and walk out with some debt that's hard to pay back.

This is a neat idea but it would be great if there was a bit more substance to the post. Do we have any performance benchmarks? Why would I consider it a strong contender? Stating "multi-core support" to me is not necessarily scal

I found $315 blown against a street curb on my run with my wife one morning. It was roughly 7am and nobody else in sight so we just took it... Admittedly, when people ask the ethical question of "do you report it to the police?",

Unfortunately, declaring your company a start up is sexy. My last company was about 130 employees, made some profit but mostly enough to keep the business afloat, been around for a little over 10 years, and was reluctant to call itself a st

Completely untrue. I'm not a Haskell evangelist (I appreciate it for what it is) but I thought I would at the very least point out that most of the documentation for basic data structures (i.e. Data.List[1]) not only are well-documente

It's not that Haskell can't be used by industry, it's just that the language has mostly been used by enthusiasts and academia (that's not a bad thing). No big companies have really committed to making Haskell industry fo
