The lack of one itself is a datapoint.

Since Erlang doesn't have a pipe operator it's hard to compare but I'd imagine using nested calls where a pipe might work is also considered inelegant in F#?

While I like this idea, I think the parent's point is that the utter simplicity of the language is worth living without these things. I personally prefer Erlang to Elixir aesthetically. The big wins I see from Elixir are protocols and

I think it was for demonstration. The example certainly is a bit contrived but the general idea is that pattern matching in function heads is preferred over pattern matching in case expressions by most experienced Erlang developers I know a

You should check out the sort your parent linked. It talks all about what happens and the overhead involved. ;-)

I'm not an expert but here's my interpretation. It doesn't seem so. They still require that the SHA-1 is given different initialization vectors (if you look closely you'll notice IV1 and IV2 are different) so I'm th

For those interested, there is also a japanese translation of the first issue: http://sectordub.itch.io/pico-8-fanzine-1-japanese I'm sure the second will be translated in soon as well.

While GA has a minimal online presence, I'd agree that there is a notable lack of courses designed to take a practicing professional from intermediate to advanced. This is likely due to the problem of finding a classroom sized audience

It's actually quite hard for instructors to deal with classrooms with very uneven advantages between students. Given that these courses try to get the most of such short time periods, I'd imagine you'd either be unhappy with

The chalk allergy is real but quite overstated. There are many people with reactions to the chemicals in whiteboard markers and the cleaner that many whiteboards require is even worse. I still see no mention of those, even though I've

Elixir actually compiles to the Erlang AST and thus is leveraging Erlang much more than it might seem.

This. It's sad to have this in the standard but with no vendors communicating their intention to implement it and no way to polyfill that doesn't involve significant overhead. So close yet so far. This is JavaScript's curse.

I'd say Elm goes a long ways toward practical dataflow syntax and operation in its rather small language. Making a series of comprehensions lazy doesn't quite go far enough to make composition natural. While it seems like there ar

That makes sense. Still, it's good to know VS Code can load a file that size. It seems like the nicer of the web-tech based editors that I've toyed with.

I just opened a 2.8 MiB file in ST3-dev (JS, using babel syntax def) and it opened sub 1 second. I think it must be the dev branch that has this sort of performance boost? Give it a shot.

I'm not going to claim that you can't make performant editors with web tech but recent snapshots of Light Table and VC Code are not all that fast for me for files that get beyond a hundred lines or so. Same with Atom. It seems to

Also ironic given that most people have adopted some of that "broken CSS box model" in their CSS. box-sizing: border-box; Now there were many other problems but I'm not sure people appreciate how such features eventu

They don't. They support an optimization for self recursive calls but not general tail call elimination.

It's not that it can sync, nor the data model. It's that these are fundamentally very different databases with different trade offs. You can't just take one and adjust some API calls and expect things to work in a similar way

A nitpick, but an important one which I wish the Couchbase folks wouldn't let slip as often as they do, CouchDB has very different properties from Couchbase and should be considered entirely different database designs regardless of the

The redundant work has a drastic improvement on tail latency. This is both true in a health cluster but even more true once even small failures or fluctuations occur. You might be able to tune your network and your software to _minimize_ ob

I signed up a week ago out of curiosity and got my first delivery in less than a week. I'm guessing their estimate is quite conservative to cover variability.

It's no longer an extra charge (partly why I linked to that page which shows the costs).

AFAICT, it reuses components of the Erlang compiler for emitting the actual BEAM code and instead targets an AST that the compiler makes use of. I believe the goal is to eventually target Core Erlang (a different but simpler language that E
