The bigger the society, the more it needs "big gods" to encourage people to accept the ladder of hierarchy and domination it has created.

The most "successful" cultures have also been the most violent, vicious, and hierarchical.

Perhaps it's time to move beyond big gods, big leaders, big masters, and big individuals.
You are probably more productive in Elixir at the early stage of development. However, I personally think Go would be better for long-term development because it is statically typed.

Vedis is called an ACID database on its website and rlite is called "transactional" in the read-me, so I assume that, like SQLite, by default they sync at the end of each transaction. Even if this weren't the case, though, I think the comparison would still be appropriate. Any embedded database, regardless of its stated use case, is in direct competition with SQLite because the latter dominates the market (and for good reason!).

Looking for existing benchmarks of this kind I have found one that compares Vedis, Redis and SQLite: http://charlesleifer.com/blog/completely-un-scientific-bench....

Yet another site where the content is nothing but static text, but it doesn't even show without JavaScript. Fix this.
The reason a moralizing god is important and those religions win is darwinian in a way -- a moralizing god lets the priests or the leaders of the religion control people more efficiently. They can convince people that god is watching them if they are mean, naughty, have bad thoughts, even when the priests are not there.

It is the total surveilance society before the surveilance society was a thing.

That allows mobilization and control of larger groups of people.

And although it sounds kind of mean and critical, it also allowed and generated a lot of nice things -- co-operation, altruism (one can argue forced altruism, "god said, be nice to your neighbor Jimmy, or you'll burn in hell forever! -- Erm..., ok, will do definitely" might not be a true altruism, but that is a different discussion), it allowed for the care of the sick, etc...
> It may be correct that such a move could be labeled as a petition (though, I might contest such labeling), an Amendment is not a redress of grievances, it's merely the changing of text in a document.

Changing law (including the Constitution) is as much a redress of grievances as issuing judicial orders (which is no more than "creating a new document with text" when looked at on the same level of analysis at which a change to law or Constitution is "changing the text of a document".)

I'll just go with a running list not in any real particular order, because each of the factors can overlap:

Overly saturated music scene making it difficult to get paid, overly saturated labor market (students) making it difficult to get modest employment, terrible traffic congestion, quickly rising cost of living, and, this is the hardest to describe, an atmosphere permeating the place of superiority mixed with some of the worst customer service I have witnessed.

Basically, instead of complaining about those things which I noticed over the course of a couple/few years of being there for an obligation, I left, and I'm happy I did.
I am sorry to hear your struggle. I have friends who were depressed and I understand suicidal thoughts are in your mind.

Here are how my friends dealt with his depression: they have 1 day a week to do what they want to do alone: surf or run. I honestly do not understand depression, but accordingly to my friends, it is a moment when they do not need to give a fuck to anything, embracing into the nature really helps them to relax and the results are that they have felt less depressed and I can really tell their difference.

One thing I also noticed, is that they also consciously try to be positive. I recently read a few books about our own subconsciousness (e.g. power beyond your subconscious mind, Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior, etc.) and it seems like once you "tried to be", you will start to behave the way your mind told you to. And yes, I also see my friend's attitude is changing towards life.

In terms of jobs, have you considered being a photographer/ocean researcher/forester/bloggers who broadcast how to fight your own struggle (sure you can make some $$ if you get enough subscribers)?
Sure, that's fair, and for that Clojure is a fine choice.
Now let's see if someone can reproduce the author's research reliably...
You should make contact, get on their radar, and apply anyway. Lots of times available jobs never make it to a job board, but are given to people already in the common network. Go for it!
Here is another analytical tack to consider: If Art III already empowered the judiciary to adjudicate petitions for the redress of grievances (since these are just "cases") why was it necessary to include this right again in the First Amendment? And why not make any clear link to the legal concepts or terminology already written in Art III?

Wouldn't you have to pull the elixir source and then compile the bytecode on the boxes you're deploying onto?

Forgive me if I've missed something. I'm just getting excited about elixir at this stage.
For me, there was a convenience-oriented self-selection process. Having an affair is hard. You have to have time, alibis, and "laundered" money (typically an unknown credit card, maybe wads of cash, etc). When it is two married people trying to meet up, the difficulty is much harder just from scheduling alone. Even in my case, it was a lot easier than most to find times to meet up, but I still can't spend more than a night or two per week out late without feeling like a crappy husband or father. I found it much easier to deal with single women on the site because I was constrained on when I could meet up, but they weren't.

I think a good idea would be to have "verified-but-anonymized" posts tied to the amount of karma you have (just like downvotes). After building up some reputation, you could occasionally post an anonymized comment, and have it distinguished by the fact that it is done by an HN regular.
Everything is that way already? Just layers and layers of inherited money and power have been laid upon it and always will be, and the "common man" has to fight through the cruft to establish his existence? Tear down those layers, and it's just a temporarity. We live in a Darwinian circus.

The best example is probably channels. The framework doesn't really have to provide you anything for you to be able to use concurrency. For a personal example, I was able to use RethinkDB changefeeds easily with channels: https://github.com/bbhoss/elixir_friends/blob/master/web/cha...

I just start another process when you join a channel, and that process sets up the changefeed and pushes changes to the client in the form of HTML, allowing messages to be received and processed by the channel. You can watch the full presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWaleoYD1Ro Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/bbhoss/otp-phoenix-channels-rethin...

Another example is sending email. In Rails, you need to have something like Sidekiq (or now Activejob) to be able to background the job so it doesn't block the response to the client. In Phoenix, you can simply spawn a process to do the work and move on. Sure, you might want a system like exq to keep track of things a bit better, but ultimately the concurrency primitives provides by Erlang/Elixir allow you to do everything you need.

I didn't mean to implicate you in this. I just checked out the site and had to share how ridiculous it is.
Absolutely; in my experience there's nothing particularly unique or progressive or "weird" about the city. It talked a big game, but didn't deliver most of the time. Personal perspective and all, but I came up with an attitude of hustling to make stuff happen, putting in work, and that city just didn't share that kind of perspective.
It's a numbers game for them. You get hit on by 5-10 guys a day, one per week is guaranteed to be handsome/funny/rich/whatever they are looking for.

That's why we end up in a situation when 20% of guys have sex with like 80-90% of women, and the rest 80% of the guys are struggling online, in bars, in gyms, etc.

Language level exceptions are how to indicate exceptions in the '90s. The world has moved on since then.

Modern languages have a compiler-checked sum type, and protobuf can support these (oneof). You get the good parts of exceptions (being able to cleanly separate error handling from happy-path code, and doing it concisely and readably via do-notation or equivalent) without the bad parts (invisible nonlocal control flow, breaking referential transparency, hard to abstract over).

(You still have the problem of returning a new type of error condition that your client code wasn't expecting, but it's the same problem as returning a new type of successful value that your client code wasn't expecting, and you can solve it in the exact same way).
Having just started my own company, I think part of the problem is regulatory burden. Dealing with the government is an exercise in kafkaesque madness. I tried filing my small company's taxes last year and I will never do that again. I swear, accountants make up all this bullshit just to keep themselves employed.

But you get through it. And then your competitor calls the fed on you with an anonymous tip that you are violating some obscure industry-specific regulation. Cue two weeks of quadruple checking your stuff before the investigators come. Then a patent troll knocks on your door 3 months later and demands $50,000. All of that to eek 2% out of a market to make exactly what you'd get if you had a day-job.
Despite the rhetoric of using science, the enterprise described in the article seems too fuzzy and ill-defined to be able to support any strong conclusions.

Generalizing the result of psychology to other fields is a dicey affair. Determining what a "big god" even is, is a matter of interpretation. And determining that a change in religious belief is a cause or an effect of a changed social structure is a difficult problem. And the researchers describing the enterprise give a strong impression of having an agenda (talking about things they noticed growing up, etc).

Ask HN: If doctors are right, why would you still research online?
Hi all,

I am recently building a healthcare platform for patients to receive better personalized medical info. One thing that I would like to ask general audience is that, why do so many patients (and their families) do their own research online [accordingly to Google, 70% of us do], even after the doctors tell them their best suggestion?

What triggers you to believe whatever info you receive online, vs. what your doctor told you to do?

Greatly appreciate your suggestion.

I like Elixir because of its ability to do distributed computing, fault tolerance/HA, binary pattern matching, speed, and more. You don't need Elixir, but it makes a lot of stuff much easier to do.
I'm not sure you'd actually save much money even if you could get by with EMTs. You still need a certain number of firemen on duty in case you actually have a fire, and it's not like you don't have to pay firemen while they wait for one. Labor costs dwarf everything else for that kind of service.

Why do you think people need to ruled in order to display these behaviors? Why do you think ruling people makes them behave in this way?

I mean, what I'm saying is, I think your points are commonly accepted wisdom, but I find them extremely contradicted by my experiences with other people. It sounds like a whole lot of propaganda from a machine that produces propaganda in order to perpetuate itself.

Are you saying that people aren't able to think about how their actions affect their peers materially and socially unless they buy into the idea of a magical faerie that always watches them?

I find this article deeply unconvincing, to be honest.
#1. There is also doing things other people won't. Entrepreneurs tend to be willing to do anything. They're willing to survive discomfort, risk, and long hours, and complete unfamiliar tasks even if it means googling it from scratch. Leading is something people often won't do also, even though anyone can do it. Practice begins with doing, and so whether it's a deadline or a dream, if you have something pushing you to do things (and nothing is beneath you) you've just become capable of accomplishing what other's can't.

#2. This:

> what you get are communities that collectively have and share the best ways of doing things. So the way to get good at something is to simply find the right community and join it.

Take HN. If you can keep up with the conversations on here, you're pretty much guaranteed to be at the bleeding edge of IT. And the further away from SV the better probably... As HN literacy decreases per capita, you'll be further ahead of the local curve.

The only minimum is English, an internet connection, and a burning desire to build/code.

> The problem is the finding: every community wants to seem like them.

My heart goes out to those still stranded on /. (or rather, what has become of it). Why HN? The sparsity of the comments was misleading at first (though I was quickly enlightened as to why), but I am still pleasantly surprised every single day at the rate of which the original authors comment here. Sure, maybe they see their logs and hop on for the first time, but when we're not talking about other people, we are the people, and I find that to be a breath of fresh air. Plus, no ads. HN, I salute you.

Startup School Radio: Bannerman CEO on Getting into the Minds of Your Users
I wouldn't say that Internet always watching can have the same effect because it's just mob of peers (humans) and ultimately can be ignored or fooled. God by definition can't. That why the concept can be disciplinary and ubiquitous. God watches you over the Internet too.

However the concept of god (or God) in technology has been touched by sci-fi many times. Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, Serial Experiments Lain, GitS, Stanisław Lem's books and many more.

If as the article stipulates humans need an external factor to be kept in line with social norms than this could be the evolution of religion.
That's very interesting. I'll consider that, thanks.

However, just today I did something that lasted around 3 hours. Probably closer to 2. It's a kind of work that happens somewhat regularly.

Charging a full day would be unviable. Way too expensive for the client. Perhaps charging half a day at a minimum? It almost never is just a single hour in reality.

Where's your evidence that the fact that Perry was the governor was a key factor (if at all) in the success of Texas during his time in office? I doubt his position in office did little to contribute to the Texas remaining economically prosperous during the recession (economic diversification and energy profits were primary factors).

Additionally, while Texas does have an diverse makeup, it takes little advantage of the fact (my money would be on how segregated those metros are [1]). One of the most impressive things about Houston and Dallas is the fact that they have so many cultures with so little culture of their own. There's nothing outright offensive about them (beyond maybe sprawl and corporate culture), but compare them to other major metros and they're just simply adequate.

If you're not looking at Austin stick clear if you're in your 20s and early 30s, but if you're starting to settle into things it does rise above the image most hold of it.

I'm aware of telomere shortening, but my understanding is that the theory is not as widely accepted as you imply. I could be wrong though, so feel free to support that,I'm open to new information. That said, it's a limit we may need to overcome at some point if we wish to prolong our lives past a certain point. It's a good candidate for an upper bound on life expectancy, but we still aren't even sure it works as we think. I think that's a good reason why we haven't directly worked on increasing the bounds of life expectancy, we are still definitively identifying them.

The luck applies to those who are already doing everything right. The other people are "failures" because you can pinpoint where they were deficient. When I think about luck and success I picture a pool of highly educated, ambitious, type A people. Why does one of them become an industry tycoon billionaire while the others become merely wealthy? You can manufacture luck for the latter but not the former.

2 options:

1. Get better clients. Seriously. The competition for clients who won't waste time reviewing rounding-error invoice differences is not that fierce. Of the successful consultants, most suck!

2. Package your services for clients that want you for 2 hours a week in the form of a retainer. "You can get 2 billable hours from me on X days notice, but only if you buy a quarterly recurring contract from me; the hours in that contract are use-it-or-lose-it. Otherwise, every time I take a contract from you, I lose 6 otherwise billable hours I could earn from another client due to ramp-up and ramp-down."

I'm not making it up: I keep hearing from people who have made this minor change to the way they sell work, and all of them seem extremely happy about the difference it made. It's a little tough for me to evaluate hourly vs. daily objectively, because most of my consulting experience has been daily or weekly, but I'll add to that: daily billing worked pretty great for me too.

In my entire working life I have not once needed a time-tracking package. That alone should sell you!
