FWIW, we've been working on building a chat application. Still very much in beta stage, but trying to build something useful. https://joinbackchannel.chat

Not sure which telco that is - but in the UK, impact on emergency calls is taken into account for every change that happens. This was non-negotiable in the 15 years I spent at a te…

I agree with this sentiment. I programmed in Erlang for more than a decade before Elixir came along and I couldn't see the point of it. When I first picked up Erlang in '99 it was …

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look.

My daughter who is in primary school has an assignment to write a program to calculate the dates of Easter for any given year. A programming language to use has not been specified.…

Thanks all for the comments. I've tried all those approaches, but failed so far. I'll keep trying.
