Really? I had a very different experience. I mostly just used the official Phoenix docs and never touched ecto. It was a strictly optional thing I didn't need, so I didn't touch it…

I think you're thinking a little too big. All I think that is really being suggested is an automatic window cracker/closer. If the goal is just to maintain a temperature I don't th…

As I mentioned, it ends up being the thought of it that's the worst. I can grin and bear it - as you mentioned that just tends to be part of life. I think we're probably talking ab…

Perhaps I'm just reading too much into the phrase "deeper issues" but I think you're reading too much into the whole "nightmare" phrasing. I don't think it's so much of an issue of…

I've never understood what people actually mean when they say things like "dynamic languages let you express yourself more easily." I tend to find it significantly harder in dynami…

> That's why we have floating point processing units instead of the fixed point. I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. I was talking generally. Not every situation has a sing…

These days I don't blame them. I'm guilty of it myself. After Microsoft repeatedly dropped in the Windows 10 "updates" (including nag) under new names it got to be enough of a hass…

From a quick google search, it appears the methyl group gets converted to methanol.

I don't really see that as the main point. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it at all. I don't see the practical issue with a model being brittle in the face of imminent mission …

> Not quite. If you read the details about the case you can find that it didn't have the handler for the overflow in the calculations(!) It's similar to this case now that both wer…

But you don't know which IMU is misreporting. Now, given the nature of the situation you could probably say it's best to err on the side of acceleration. If you've stopped accelera…

I think it's also important to note that the inertial platform was developed for the Ariane 4 where it worked correctly. The software was actually developed correctly, and function…

I think you're actually completely wrong about that. I think most people will assume it's an actual update when the animation moves. It's the devs that will stop to think if they'r…

> Having a 1-to-1 correspondence between types and allocators screams of lack of separation of concerns. In any case... It's a 1-to-1 correspondence between an access type (aka poi…

Sure, you can do things like that too in Ada. To some degree that might make sense sometimes, but having the option of an equally safe type that's used in a "normal" fashion, rathe…

Anecdotally, it's vastly reduced debugging time in my own personal projects. My most notable problems have all turned out to be the result of things like using the wrong input, or …

I completely disagree with those statements. Rust can give stronger static guarantees in simpler instances. When it comes to more complex cases, neither language can guarantee much…

I'm pretty familiar with most of these issues, except for the one about verbose generics. What do you find so verbose about them? To my thinking they aren't much more verbose than …

It's not just a question about the magnitude of the possible upside or downside though, it's also about how likely they are to occur. If you offer me the opportunity to almost cert…

Everything has risks. Maybe you change your diet and end up doing an unfamiliar food preparation and you screw it up and end up with a case of salmonella or e. coli. Or you do your…

I've had terrible experiences with duckduckgo. I really want to switch, but I've never been able to justify the costs. Every now and then I give it a shot but the results from Duck…

I rather like Ada. It certainly does have some issues, but I'm not sure I agree completely with all of your points anymore. I have had similar thoughts in the past though. - In pra…
