I'm reading the faq^1 and I'm having trouble figuring out why I should use this over MongoDB (even after skimming the very detailed comparison page). From what I gather, it seems like they are pretty similar in features but rethi

How does Erlang deal with these problems? It often touts minimal downtime and the ability to run updates to your code while it's running. I think that means you can have Process V1 and Process V2 running on the same server simultane

For those that want to get started, I've been reading the Erlang Thesis^1. It's a really good read. I recommend it even if you don't plan on learning Erlang because it will teach you why it's difficult to build reliabl

I have a question as a potential remote employee: If I live in a city with a very high cost-of-living, will it be difficult to find a remote position that pays reasonably well relative to my cost-of-living? I assume one of the biggest benef

Is it recommended that you learn Erlang before you learn Elixir, or can you jump straight into Elixir without Erlang knowledge?

Technically, it can act on integers: Prelude> let zero s z = z Prelude> :t zero zero :: t -> t1 -> t1 Prelude> t and t1 can be integers. Really the point of my comment is that the article could be writte

To my surprise, the Haskell was not the difficult part for me. I spent more time wondering why this is the definition of "zero": zero s z = z My understanding is you can call this like so: zero 3 7 #returns 7 So

Become really good at breaking down tasks into 15-30 minute increments and work on at least one increment per day. You may not get much done per day, but over time you will.

Odd, I literally just saw one that did exactly that. It even forbade "outside activity" and I had to ask WTH that meant.

This is on Google Compute Engine, not Google App Engine. It's not straight forward to me what GCE is a good fit for^1. Can someone explain in layman terms? Based on the name, I'd think it be for long running concurrent algorit

Aw, I made the same mistake. Thanks for saying this. For others looking for more info about GCE: https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine/

No offense, but if your company's crunch time is so predictable, there must be a mistake in your scheduling. I've worked at companies where there is literally no crunch time, ever.

I use grunt.js and from my perspective gulp is nice syntactic sugar that solves the same problem. But, it's difficult for me to tell what webpack is for. Granted, I've only skimmed the documentation[1], but I feel like I haven&#

Why does it matter if it's binary compatible? How does that affect the programmer? I guess I don't understand the difference/significance between binary and source compatibility? I'm surprised to hear that it's no

I didn't understand this response. Are you saying the company doesn't release it because the developers are embarrassed of the quality of the code in the engine?

I ask this without having my own opinion on the matter: Won't those debates improve the design of the architecture? It's hard to imagine the time loss of debates being greater than the time loss of a rearchitecture.

I agree with most of this, except for this part: > if your game is legit, you'll do just fine. Even if your game is legit, nobody will buy it if they don't know it exists. IMO, marketing is just as important. BTW, are you spea

Do you have any advice on how I can go about figuring this out? I have a feeling it's not a black and white thing. EG: That module I wrote may have made sales easier, but not impossible.

I've got an interesting problem with regards to this. For all I know, I work in the Profit Center, I'm just not informed of this. I'm never given an indication of how much money my code has earned the company.

It keeps using the word "employee". How does this apply to contractors and consultants? Do they negotiate their own terms? Are high earning ones expected to be exempt like employees?

You're preaching to the choir. Your typical Java programmer doesn't even know what these phrases mean.

That's a great idea. I'll do this next time. The best part is I should be able to resolve any conflicts before I start bisecting. Where's the "accept as the right answer" check mark? :)
