That's true. The imbalance in dating apps are huge. Women are getting messages daily and they are just overwhelmed. Therefore I would suggest you guys to quit this "attention festival" and focus on approaching women in real life. It's really not so difficult to learn it. If you would like to know how to do this - read my post here: http://bestdatingproductreviews.com/make-women-want-you-revi...
A government-mandated locked-down radio firmware isn't much better than a government-mandated locked-down main firmware.

The FCC should punish crimes, not impose prior restrictions on innocent people.
There's releases where you can build a tarball[0] or RPM[1] that includes your application byte code plus the BEAM. Here's how you can go about building, testing and deploying a release in the context of Phoenix specifically: http://www.phoenixframework.org/v0.13.1/docs/advanced-deploy...

Optionally, you could cross compile locally or compile on a build server and have the other nodes pull from there, same as you would do in Go.

Great point, metalliqaz! Definitely something I think about a lot. I don't intend to suggest that everyone in the world should be doing this. I realize that's not possible. But for those who do have the opportunity I encourage them to.
Ignorance is the real issue. It seems every civilized nation thinks America is home to brutish neanderthals with no regard for gun control.

I ask you, is it the firearm or flamethrower, or the person behind the weapon? Do you see ivy league students participating in gang crime? What about doctors or engineers, do these people on the regular have their fingers over hair triggers?

Do you think weapons make nations more dangerous? No you fools, ignorant people make the world more dangerous.

Everyone's so ready to debate and break out metrics and statistics about gun control whilst heart disease is a bigger issue by orders of magnitude in practically any developed country.

You know what global violence is comparable to in terms of death count? Falling.
Just curious, what happened with concepts? I have a moderate amount of C++ knowledge, and have heard of concepts, but nothing more.

> so you have to prove you've suffered harm from the removal of your rights?

No, you have to be able to establish that you have had your rights violated. The standard that gets referred to as "harm" is more formally "concrete, particularized injury" where "injury" is defined as a violation of a legally-protected interest.

You don't have to prove, e.g., damages from the violation of your rights, but you can't just allege that an action is a violation of people's rights generally, and further that, as a person, you may have been impacted, so therefore you have standing to challenge the action. To have standing to sue, you have to allege with sufficient evidentiary basis that an action actually violated your rights in a concrete way.
> 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...

I don't agree.

The "nice things" that religion enabled already existed before religion. Any of the "nice things" that got in the way of business for the powerful, well, became unimportant pretty fast. Charitable activities were funded by the wealthy as a political tool before a "moralizing god" existed, let alone became a common belief system.

You cooperated with other people in your society for mutual benefit, primarily. People cooperated long before religion the popularity of a handful of monotheistic, moralizing gods.

Being uncooperative on the level a religion punished [and sometimes, violent] is almost never beneficial except in extreme circumstances.
How could you possibly write a program that "approximates nearly any integral" without having learned calculus in the first place. I by that I don't mean to "spend half a year memorizing" any tricks. (If that's what they taught you, I am sorry to say you had a pretty awful teacher and you should seek to educate yourself elsewhere).

Oh yes, I forgot about the 3 minute part. You didn't write anything from scratch. You just at best googled for a math library and hooked it up to your hello world program... if not downloaded the whole damned thing from easy-Aplus.com!!!

Nevermind, rest assured that grownups never had to learn anything in order to build the infrastructure you happen to enjoy today.
“Just tell me what to do”: compressing books into directives
Your comment seems more about Clojure's type system and fundamental data structures than about functional programming in general. e.g. Haskell solves some/most of the problems you mention, while introducing different ones and presenting other trade-offs to consider.
Could you expand on how Clojure makes it easier to deal with the frustrations your parent comment mentions (deep merges, shared reliance on hash structure, reproduced logic, and handling of optional values)? I've only used Clojure a bit, but I'm not sure how it solves any of these problems (which I also find frustrating in Ruby).
Wouldn't parasites be a constant factor in the death rate? How do you explain an exponentially rising death rate? The "criminals" in the article's example are more like mutations or other damage that builds up in cells, which increase the death rate exponentially as your body's ability to catch them falls linearly over time. If you have bacteria in your bloodstream you're already in septic shock, infections can't explain, say, heart disease or most types of cancer.
> The Objective-C dispatch model is based on Smalltalk.

I meant the low-level dispatch of methods; the application binary interface that Objective-C uses to communicate with the APIs that make up almost the entire OS X GUI API. You can't mix that with the ABI for Windows API or any Linux toolkit (except GNUStep).

> Most OSX apps and services still aren't even written in Objective-C

Most OS-X apps aren't written in Objective-C? Really? Come on. If it was written specifically for OS X or iOS then it's almost guaranteed to be in Objective-C.

> You can compile Objective-C using the gnu compiler and have been able to for ages.

Nobody says you can't. But the only real useful thing you can with that is link to GNUStep.

> Swift is an amalgam of many different programming languages and styles, including Rust. None of which have anything specific to do with OSX/iOS about them.

At the high-level you are right but on the low-level it's specifically designed to interface with Objective-C APIs which exist in OSes from only one manufacturer. You can't separate Swift from that. The fact that it's an amalgam of OS X specific technology makes it unsuitable for other OSes. It doesn't really have that much in common with Rust either.
I think it comes down to expressing your intent in terms of that intent rather than confining it to imperative constructs. Pretty much any work on collections of items is generally simpler and more in line with the semantics of your intentions when working with Clojure or other functional languages or structures, especially when parallel code is involved.

I'd say a specific example would be pmap. It's very difficult to parallelize code as simply as pmap does without functional programming constructs.

Given appropriately designed radio hardware, this would be a non-issue. But given the radios that are on the market right now, this could be a very bad thing in the short term for the most open products that are the only affordable platforms for further R&D of Linux-based wireless router software. Anything that would take ath9k hardware off the market before an equally-open successor is available would be more damaging than any interference these products are capable of producing.
Better off just building your own router. The high brow option is an embedded motherboard and minipcie wifi card. If the hardware is powerful enough to MASQ gigabit, it won't be obsolete for a decade. And you can upgrade wireless standards with a new card. The only reason there's such an upgrade cycle for consumer routers is that they're built shoddily and with the slowest CPU possible.

And as much as I appreciate spectrum partitioning, we really need to get the major wifi chipsets completely reverse engineered so we can blow away this ambiguous spectre of "unauthorized" modifications and turn them into something normal. Randos stomping on ch12-15 isn't an actual problem - but that widespread rulebreaking coupled with the unknown of what further mods could do is scary to regulators. Destroy that unknown.
Hah. That's a very similar search term to the one that got me in foobar.

One of the theories I have is that the best jobs in the U.S. require you to be culturally american. The U.S is great in that it is far more meritocratic than other countries but at the highest levels you still need to be culturally american.

This helps with things like understanding other people's motivations as well as day to day rapport which builds up into deep camaraderie.

People who are culturally un-american expend far more energy building rapport in this american way. (e.g. dealing with the "How's it going." exchange.)

The advantage is the the cultural natives don't need to wear "masks" while cultural non-natives are required to keep their masks on at the correct times, draining energy that could have been used for thinking/maneuvering.

Chinese and American culture for example have different default states for friendship amongst co-workers. Americans treat all people in a friendly manner but distinguish between co-workers and true friends. Friendship is not the default and is sought out based on mutual compatibility.

In Chinese culture though, friendship based on environment (school, work) IS the default. Through their eyes, American's are two faced while from the other side, they are just trying to avoid awkward forced friendship.

Another theory is that this difference in culture creates an exponential acquisition of skills in communication and selling yourself as well as avoiding awkward situations. Since these social skills are a constant part of life growing up, it is a natural strength in adult life.

Chinese culture tends to structure growth of their children in a "follow the rules, memorize all the textbooks" way so Chinese children only start their social skill education in adult life.

So to sum up...American culture creates people with stronger social skills because there isn't a "God" to tell you which road leads to heaven that you can diligently follow heads down. Immersion into American culture helps increase social skills the longer you are in it. Obvious acceptance of it (rather than avoidance) may make you seem more "coachable".
The presence of a type system definitely improves maintainability, however it is only one of many factors. Being C and Haskell both statically typed, are they equally suitable for long term development?

For example, Elixir is a more "strict" dynamic language than your usual Python/Ruby/Javascript. Data is immutable. There is no monkey patching. Most state changes happen explicitly via process communication. The macro system is compile-time which means nothing will pull the carpet under your feet at runtime.

Also long-term productivity is about actually maintaining your system in production. And Elixir leverages 3 decades of experience on that, using a runtime designed to build systems that self-heal and are fault-tolerant (I slightly explore this here: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2015/06/elixir-in-times-of-...).

I don't want to give a yes or a no answer, I would just like to point out the line is much blurrier than that. It doesn't matter which type system you use, your code is going to have bugs or unexpected situations will arise, specially when we are talking about network. So knowing that your system system can heal itself is quite comforting.

Those are two complementary aspects. It is one of the reasons I would love to see a statically typed language succeed in the Erlang VM.
> Why do you think people need to ruled in order to display these behaviors?

They don't necessarily. But slowly over the ages groups that held those beliefs somehow proliferated more than those that din't. It could just be a fluke, a correlation with some other hidden variable. But maybe it was the cause and a light statistical advantage over a thousand+ years can make a large difference.

> 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?

Thinking independently and rationally vs being 100% controlled is not how it work. There is something in between the two. When it comes to religion, it usually forms and ideological framework that gets instilled early on. At a young enough age it became part of background (the world view) such that even if the person is thinking they are thinking rationally, chances are they are still influenced by that ideology.

> I find this article deeply unconvincing, to be honest.

Another example: I work on a Rails app where the user submits a request to us, and we have to talk to an API to respond. We can't afford to leave the connection open with the user, so we make them poll for results.

My understanding is that the cheap processes of Elixir would mean we could just keep a connection open to that user if we wanted to. Similarly, no need for a background processing framework like ActiveJob; just use processes.

MTA cards are terrible. So is MTA's customer service. I lost $60 (2 7-Day Unlimited cards) because the two cards were demagnetized. They weren't next to each other, but both were kept close to cellphones. I went to the MTA booth and they staff said to mail the cards so I can get a refund. This may work for NYC residents, but foreign tourists will never see that money again. The card and system is so bad, that one may actually think they want this to be bad so they can profit more.

I guaran-fuckin-tee you that Earnest Hemingway knew what a gerund is.
Like I said in a sibling response. It is not all or nothing.

Maybe a better way to put it is that moralizing religion just acts as an amplifier. It can amplify over time either those "nice things" or "negative things". And over thousands of years that kind of a religion just gave enough of statistical advantage.

Maybe another way to think about it is that a moralizing god religion is more brutal and violent such that those adherents managed to wipe out and conquer all the rest.
I know you're being downvoted but I 100% agree with you. I don't want 100,000 Hex packages. I want a few thousand packages that solve problems really well and people rally around and collaborate on them. NPM and RubyGems are casualties of people seeking open source fame and I hope we can avoid that in Elixir.
I think the idea is more like that saying "Opportunity is a meeting of luck and preparation".
So maybe it's more like 'manufacture opportunity' by constantly showing up prepared.
They can certainly be fooled, even deliberately, but they can only be ignored at personal peril. For example, when a corporation does something someone doesn't like, or an employee (high-ranking or not) of that company does something that someone doesn't like, there are many instances where demands were made from a corporation (apologize for so-and-so, fire so-and-so for doing this) with the threat that the corporation would be boycotted if they didn't cooperate with the demands. Society is enforcing its morals via the internet shame mob through threatening a corporation's livelihood, which I would say has the same effect as God enforcing society's morals through eternal punishment.

If you'd like specific examples of what I mentioned, simply google "internet shame mob". There are many, many examples.

The simple syntax makes things like Hiccup and macros more convenient. https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup

Macros allow things like core.async (like Go's channels), which is just a normal library; you didn't have to upgrade your Clojure version or anything.

Immutable datastructures make your life simpler because you're not worried about values mutating suddenly. Keeps you from cloning or locking an object. And undo is simpler: you don't destroy old state by mutating it, so you can just hold onto old versions.

>Generally there are two models of operation. The first model requires a major rewrite of application software for effective use (ie. capsicum). The other model in common use lacks granularity, and allows or denies an operation throughout the entire lifetime of a process. As a result, they lack differentiation between program "initialization" versus "main servicing loop". systrace had the same problem. My observation is that programs need a large variety of calls during initialization, but few in their main loops.

>Some BPF-style approaches have showed up. So you need to write a program to observe your program, to keep things secure? That is insane.

>So I asked myself if I could invent a simple system call, which people would place directly into programs, between initialization and main-loop.

>Subsequent calls to tame() can reduce abilities further, but abilities can never be regained.

What you are suggesting is not compatible with tame.
On Franklin not drinking beer: One interesting thing about drinking water is that it actually made you weak and sick in the past. Romans knew that and used wine for this reason. Sider or beer were alternatives.

It was only after water infrastructure improved, specially filters in water, that people could drink water without issues.

When you travel the world, the most important thing you need is water purification tablets. I have traveled lots of countries and never got sick, but I have seen friends almost die because of drinking what they should not.

Hm. I'm looking at the implementation[1] of pmap.... I don't fully understand the implementation (can anyone point me to something that explains what rets is? Googling "clojure rets" doesn't return anything useful) but it appears to just be looping through the list and parcelling work out to multiple processors. That seems like something simple enough to do in any language with threads and function references, no?

I'll dig in some more though. Thanks for the reference.

Startups are not a meritocracy. The marketplace is too crowded, so any startup founder who has an edge will take it. How do you get word of mouth? By "growth hacking" and leveraging privileged personal connections, both of which I've seen happen time and time again from even YC companies.

This is nice but the pricing points doesn't seem to be relative to requests or resources?

What is a private service vs public service and why does it matter when the use case is always "run this script when required"?

The most important factors I think for a service like this are language support and price per request (or other resources).

One thing that attracts me to Elixir is what it doesn't have to do. Go had to start from 0, Clojure had to build FP on top of Java. If they work at all, it's a success.

By contrast, if Elixir just works, it's useless. Its functionality comes almost entirely from Erlang. Therefore its whole reason to exist is to make using that power more pleasant.

That's why, for example, Jose Valim has said "if you see a bad error message in Elixir, which makes you confused and does not help you solve the problem, pls open a bug report." https://twitter.com/josevalim/status/621933537009246208
