Scala and Akka are... less simple. It's also not like the actor model takes over the whole paradigm. Actors are largely a runtime concern. You're still using modules and functions.…

If all you're doing is CRUD apps, there's not much more to gain from Elixir. But if you're doing things like pulling in Redis or Sidekiq, or building around realtime use cases - El…

I've found CQRS and DDD designs fit well with OTP and elixir. The actor model with pattern matching ends up cutting away a lot of the classical OOP DDD details. The issue I see is …

Different tools for different jobs. Rust is more of a systems language for close to metal performance and memory safety. Elixir is memory safe from a functional perspective utilizi…

Good rule of thumb is that the best production per panel ratio to get the most utility consumption offset (so you drop to the lowest tier) will return the most savings. Shaded or N…

Pattern matching is a good fit for lambda use cases.

Like alcohol, if weed is taken close to bedtime it will interfere with the sleep cycle. I wonder how much of the cognitive impact is sleep related?

Deployment and configuration is among the top priorities from both the core team and the community from what I can tell. There's been a lot of discussion about it and some resource…

In Elixir+Phoenix you get all the CRUD conveniences as in other frameworks, but you also get trivial Reactive/real-time capabilities that would get very hairy in something like Rai…

The Star's My Destination by Alfred Bester (also known as Tiger Tiger). Really great Count of Monte Cristo type plot with teleportation and a great antihero. I'm surprised it hasn'…

I'm cautiously anticipating Lenovo's announcement of the P1 which will supposedly ship with the intel+Vega chip. Rumors are that same chip will be used in the next Gen MacBooks. Th…

Elixir is an absolute pleasure. The benefits of Ruby's developer experience with a maintainable, scalable backbone.

You're right. Salesforce is a big, complicated, multi-tenant, CRUD application coupled to an Oracle database. Multi tenant architectures themselves aren't an issue, but Salesforce …

The classic solar sales and installation company business model isn't shaping up very well. Operating margins aren't the best due to the need for local assets in frequently changin…

The gig economy has barely begun. It won't be in full force till I can see quest/gig markers in mixed reality. Ironically I think to implement a gig economy to this extent we'll ha…

Less sugars, carbs, and highly glycemic foods such as wheat, rice, and corn will probably make the most difference. Basically avoid the sorts of things in a Little Debbie snack. It…

Hire the people who worked on The Frankenstein Chronicles. They really did a great job on getting the dirty London/Ankh Morpork right. Regardless I'm skeptical if they can pull Dis…

Probably something more architecturally sound for future platforms in augmented and virtual reality among other things. One of the biggest issues with Android is managing permissio…

Was this a bottleneck to the end product? If at some point in the process there's a different bottleneck, I'd expect it to be reasonably construed as dangerous. That being said it …

What if Facebook is weighting the votes based on content consumption and interests of users? If that's the case, then it's possible to get some interesting results. We need to be d…

This notion that the Alt-right is just another side of the coin is, I think, a misdirection. In fact I think the whole Alt-right label is entirely arbitrary and doing a significant…

Elixir and Phoenix are amazing. I use them any chance I get. The problem now is that the ecosystem is still in early stages. You're gonna end up writing some more libraries whereas…

Based in some part on the relative upvotes of other posts in a time period maybe? California users probably haven't waken up in mass yet.

The real value of a teacher in the same room is for immediate feedback. I'm of the opinion that lectures should be replaced with active study sessions where the teacher(s) walk the…

I think it's more of a development life cycle problem, Elon started earlier and rocketry ain't easy. It's less a problem of money as it is in scaling up an R&D operation to effecti…
