This is very interesting as Phoenix could become the next Rails. I loved Rails and ruby, for the most part, but ruby MRI still lack 'Native Threading', and Jruby isn't viable if you are using external C extensions.

To overcome the lack, I've used Resque (or beanstalkd in PHP, which has the exact same problem) as a background job manager, but then I had to write my own layer and rely on the database to handle the 'job' result.

Which parts of the framework leverage the concurrency model, other than the routing/request handling part?
> the Flash Player plugin can render hardware accelerated video since v10.2 (released early 2011).

I'm aware of that but the quality of the actual implementations still varies widely. I've done the comparison periodically since that was released and their quoted figures have never reproduced on any Flash video player which is actually used on the web (YouTube, Vimeo, jwplayer and a few other open-source projects, the custom players used by various big media companies, etc.).

On OS X or Windows XP-8.1, on multiple devices, it's consistently been the same: Flash = fan on high, HTML5 = fans off. Flash's settings show hardware acceleration enabled but there's either a really restrictive hardware check quietly disabling it or absolutely nobody ever managed to ship a player using Stage Video, including the companies quoted in that press release.
I use upstart to respawn if crashes, but there's definitely more than one way to solve this one :) Hot code reloads is the more interesting issue.
A lot of these seem to be about getting accepted into some high-achieving organizations, which will open up further opportunities. This is clearly very important. I would suggest one strategy to do this which involves startups:

MAKE A STARTUP THAT YOU ARE GOING TO FLIP

Once you have the mindset that you are going to exit in a few years instead of building the next google, you'll project many of the attitudes investors are looking for. Even if you have a huge idea that you're working on, don't bring it up when you talk about your smaller, flippable idea. Even better if technology or user base you developed in the "world changing" project can be used to give the flippable idea a big boost, making it seem to be making amazing leaps (which is actually true). Give away as much equity as you need to the most well-connected people who want to get involved. Network your way using the startup as the reason for everyone to cluster around. In short, build your own little organization, and attract people by selling to them exactly what they are looking for. Don't be greedy with the equity because your goal isn't to make huge amounts of money on the exit (even though you could every well exit with millions or a golden parachute) but to open doors and make connections.

Many startups eschew this route because they feel they must focus only on their world-changing business, and as a result, they miss all the low hanging fruit they could be getting.
> Well, you must be claiming that there is at least one particular case that a court may not be empowered to address.

(1) No, I'm saying that there are petitions protected by the First Amendment right to petition that are not cases within the power of the courts to resolve, and

(2) More particularly to the issue in this thread, the concrete, particularized injury (where injury is a violation of a legally-protected interest) requirement is a threshold test for whether something is a case, and

(3) Finally, there are cases that the federal courts are not empowered to address; the reason that Article III has to spend so many words enumerating all the kinds of cases and controversies that are within the judicial power is that all the other kinds of cases (and controversies) are not within that power.
This is absolutely odious.
Cuba's communist computer club for kids
You are sort of arguing a strawman. First you say that hashes are simple, but then go on to argue how they are not. Maybe they were not simple in the first place? Simplicity does not mean easy. It was "easy" to use a hash. Simplicity can actually be incredibly hard to design properly. I think this is what Rich alludes to in the video.

Edit: It's one of the first thing he says in the video actually - "It's about the interleaving, not the cardinality."

This is NOT the advice I wanted to hear.

Maybe I needed to hear it, but both of these things (last I tried them) were a giant messy pain in the rear end. And from what little I understand, both have parties involved in their creation/promotion (MS, NSA) that might don't have stellar open source/privacy pedigrees.

Maybe worth another look.... IDK. But for now... I turn both off.
The distinction was made in the post I responded to. This is about petitions, but specifically petitions for redress of grievances. This puts them squarely within Equity.

Since HN likes to severely rate-limit my speech, I'll respond here to some other points people are making. dragonwriter gave a counter-example where a hypothetical group attempting to amend the Constitution is viewed as a petition for redress of grievances that courts are not empowered to hear. 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. It is therefore not (nor is the act of attempting it) a petition for (nor actual) redress of grievances and is not a counter-example. The meaning of Amendments is even explicitly given in Article V.

tptacek seems to think that my argument means that we are subject to the whims of unelected philosopher kings. I ask, when has that not been true? The US Supreme Court usurped its power very early on in US history. The fact that we, people in 2015, live by the words of people who are no longer alive (and haven't been for a coupleish centuries) is bare testament. But, my answer is that it depends on the structure of the court. If the judge is an unelected philosopher king, then yes, we are subject to them. If you have some other, 'democratic' (or whatever system you propose) judge, court, or other arbiter, then you are subject to whatever rules exist in that system (which...maybe could be something other than the whims of philosopher kings? Not sure).

Try programming with (std.)ranges and (std.)algorithm's. It's something completely refreshing, replacing a mess of loopy code with a clean pipeline of algorithms. The lazy nature of the standard algorithms and the clean syntax you get with the UFCS feature produce some really neat results. Even if you end up not using D any further, it can change your view of programming.

Rust has at least one niche for itself: Extension language for Python (or Javascript, Ruby, etc). A language with garbage collection disqualifies because Python already has one and two GCs in one application is not a good idea. Go has no plans to abandon GC and D still has a long way to go.
This might be a silly question: what is D used for? I "scanned" the site fairly quickly and didn't grasp the general application idea behind it.

Go is not "on metal" (garbage collector). Rust and D are. D has that nice introspection, it still can be better C++ than C++. The critical point is to make that as easy as possible for the existing code bases.
I feel this advice leaves a lot to be desired.

Ruby was around for 10 years before Rails released version 1.0. Rails itself didn't get popular until version 2, 4 years later.

It takes a long time for a language to mature to the point to where someone loves it so much they're willing to bet their career on it, as DHH did.

The best thing for a language designer to do IMO is not to try to decide what the killer app is, but rather to make it as nice as possible so that more and more people want to use it to solve problems.

Rails isn't the best web development stack because of any kind of monolithic effort on the part of the Ruby core team. It was built on top of the work of dozens of programmers who did things like write HTTP client libraries, HTML parsing tools, templating languages, all the things that a framework relies completely on.

My advice: You can only focus on so much at once. Let the community build the tools. You build the language. You'll never be able to do both, there just isn't enough time.

There's so much other stuff for you to do. Figure out governance, setting a tone for the community, reaching out to heavyweights so as to raise your profile, working out what your relationship to corporate sponsors is, how you're going to ensure stability across versions, package management. The countless little things that make one language more of a joy to work with than another.
If the Reddit thread is at all reputable, this occurred at a Steel Mill in Kentucky by a disgruntled employee. It's used as a safety instruction video for new employees to show what happens when wet meets steel.

A good reason to properly rotate the steel so that it has time to dry completely. It's also why the floor is usually padded dirt and not concrete, as concrete has pores and voids that make it explode and send concrete shrapnel everywhere.

If discussing the video I linked - it was for demonstration about fire safety.
That there are a lot of undiscovered sites just off our coasts is a well understood fact in Archaeology. For most of history a very high percentage of people lived on the coast. We know that ocean levels are higher now than they were several thousand years ago. That necessarily means a lot of sites are under water.

So why aren't there more underwater archaeological digs? Underwater sites are harder to find and they're hideously expensive to dig up. Archaeology is, traditionally, not that well funded. If, for whatever reason, the Earth were plunged into an ice age (and our civilization didn't collapse), there would be a golden age of archaeology as thousands of sites are discovered and studied.

Its like C++, but "better"
The only explicit experimental setup I can find on that webpage is in the last couple of paragraphs of Q.36, where it describes a "reversible machine intelligence" which can perform measurements and then reverse the entire measurement process. The issue is that this reversal requires having fine control over the joint quantum state of the system, measurement apparatus and all record of the measurement outcome. However, the very fact that this whole setup can be described as being in one quantum state or another is sufficient for a Copenhagen advocate to deduce that no collapse would have occurred.

Now, different flavours of Copenhagen will differ as to why collapse has not occured. Bohr would probably have argued that a measurement entails an interaction between a classical system and a quantum one, whereas this has not happened in the above. A more sophisticated approach like QBism would say that quantum theory is simply an agent's calculus of experience, and that if the entire system has a quantum representation then this means the agent is still external to the system and has not yet interacted with it. Either way, Copenhagen makes the same predictions as MWI in this experiment, as it does in all experiments that admit a purely quantum description.
Right, but it puts a lie to many of the theories that involve mortality being an inevitable result of biological chemistry -- e.g. that cells can only divide so many times before they MUST die.

The reality is that for just about every aging related failure mode, there is an example of some animal somewhere that is able to fix or otherwise defend against that very form of damage, a proof by example that such damage is not inevitable or irreversible.

> Evolution needs death to work. Hence death is built-in.

Yes, but life duration is an equation. The main component of that equation is parasite load.

> Here's how I see it: if an organism arose which had this "death gene" turned off, it would not adapt to sudden changes in the environment.

It's not about sudden changes. Those almost never happen. It's about the Red Queen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis

Parasites are constantly shuffling their genes, so we must as well, to resist them.

So going back to our equation ... life duration is directly correlated to parasite load. Tons of viruses/bacteria/etc. trying to kill you, death gene tweaks the lifespan into the low numbers to decrease the duration between variation to adapt to the parasites. Almost no parasites? You live for thousands of years. And there are creatures on this planet that do. They have few/no predators or parasites that ail them.

Want to increase humanity's life span? Kill off all the parasites. Your death gene will adapt over time and increase the lifespan.

Yeah,

Unique technical skills generally aren't a great path to riches. The most uniquely skilled people in the world might be famous but they often aren't rich or at least not extremely rich.

Some combination of knowing what people want, being able to (directly or indirectly) organize people to create the thing, and knowing rich people willing to invest in your plan for doing it, is pretty the formula for most people gaining wealth in this society. There are other formulas but this is by far the most common and why fight the average if you're after success?

I've said before in other comments that this wouldn't just take over from your geographical citizenship, but would be a sort-of competition to it. Competition benefits the consumers, because both sides try to create a better value proposition. Right now there is no competition to your governance other than potentially voting for someone else or moving. If we created a global body that isn't just some black-box bureaucratic system, but a 100% open, transparent, run by the citizens system, that could help put some real pressure on international politics.

Here's just a few Wikipedia links that connect to everything I've written in my comments so far. There's more than these, but I'm still working through them:

There are actually a few immortal or extremely long-lived species in nature. Evolution still acts upon them because there are other selection forces at work, like not being eaten by predators.

Good luck! I have been wishing D well for many years now and I hope your steering of the foundation will take D into the forefront of programming.
This is a bullshit "just-so story". In the wild most animals die long before they reach their age limit. There isn't enough selection pressure for evolution to spend resources to prolong life.

Evolution doesn't work on whole species. Or even individuals. It works on genes. If there is a gene that prolongs the life of an animal by 10 years, and it has 1.5x more babies in that time, then that gene will spread itself 1.5x more than the alternative genes. It doesn't matter if it's detrimental to the species in the long run. Lots of genes are.

Sure evolution needs death to work, but that's a very different claim than saying it selects for death.

It's certainly possible to defeat aging. There are a number of animals that don't age at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligible_senescence

Medical advances could definitely make you live to 200. We are very close to the ability to grow organs, and eventually entire bodies. Even if your body ages, you could just replace it. That would extend your life a ton on it's own. Add new brain tissue over time as the old stuff dies, and rejuvenate it a bunch with young blood (which has been shown to improve old brains a lot.)

Or you could get cryopreserved and wait until the really distant future, when have nanotechnology and gene editing and who knows what.

There's no doubt you have an impressive number of stars and followers, but you're "involved" with so many projects, I don't know what you actually do besides pal around open source JS people.

You're also among what seems to be a small number of smug JS open source people who make it a point to tell people how smug/zany/unique you are on the Internet.

From my point of view, you've just snowballed your name into the open source community and continue to do so by releasing "revolutionary" one-off small projects that basically utilize one core API feature in a way no one else has before, and associate with people who have larger open source projects than you.

It also doesn't help that any interviews covering you don't really say anything at all.

Ask HN: Does an API-only shopping cart exist?
I'm a developer looking to stand up an ecommerce site, but have become frustrated with the available options, all of which seem geared to marketers who are more than happy to pay $30/month for the privilege of never touching code.

I want the complete opposite. I want to build an ecommerce site where I have complete control over the front-end code, and it just hooks into some RESTful back-end server somewhere else to process payment, grab shipping info, etc.

Are there any solutions for this? Something that would allow me to abstract away a lot of the ecommerce back-end into APIs, without completely giving up front-end control?
I used to use D for larger tasks and Python for quicker ones, like processing some text file and so on. One day I realized that I prefered using D even for those smaller tasks, where quick and dirty solutions would do. One thing that helped was that the standard algorithms (from the std.algorithm module) are really useful and compose very well, once you get to know them, and allow solving those kinds of tasks both quickly and efficiently.
