I've been into synths and sound design for a while. But even for someone like me, the last few years have been amazing. Two years ago I had a lot of software and controllers. But now you can get high quality analog keyboard synths at great price points (e.g a Moog Sub37 or an Arturia Microbrute), and Eurorack has made modular synthesis cheaper and more accessible than ever before. It's a great time to be into synths.
"They're cutting each others' throats as vividly as they can."

The very last line of the interview is what scares me about our future. Yes, we've always been cut throat, but in my life--right now--I see people whom are willing to sell their souls in order make more money. Or, maybe since a lot of us question whether their is a soul; we do horrid things in the name of business? Or, maybe I'm too sensitive to how money can corrupt; my sister pretty much put my mother on the streets with her greedy, money manipulating mouth.

I wasen't part of the Hippy generation, but they did not act the way we are acting now? At least they tried to change?

I don't find our current society progressive, or fashionable.

I guess you can either see it as how much faster Cowboy is or how much more useful Rails is. It's nice if you have a lot of Erlang code already, but if you're making a web application from scratch, performance is pretty far down the list and I would stick to the half dozen stacks that are proven. Erlang can make sense sometimes, but it's probably not(!) comparable to Rails in those cases.

Edit: Eh, I forgot a "not" in the last sentence, which is now added.

I saw this thing drive by my office in Tokyo the other day, and did a double take, but then I noticed the man sitting inside actually driving it.

So I thought the "Robot Taxi" on the side of it was just a slightly weird name for a Japanese taxi company.

However, I must admit that the whole Toyota software development practices scandal will make me think twice before getting in a Japanese self driving cab.

This gets a Cowboy application up and running, but it doesn't tell you what to do to write your own Cowboy application, and doesn't give you a very firm understanding of either how the hello_world example works, or how to modify it to suit your needs.

As someone who's been down this road in the past, unless you're already rather familiar with Erlang and OTP's conventions, the gap between the User's Guide and the API documentation is far too large to make connecting information you learn from one with information you learn from the other easy.

Anyone that wants legalized drugs, wants regulated and taxed drugs. A minority advocate anarchy, but most just want access to these drugs, if they personally deem them appropriate.

Drug advocates still want all nutritional info and negative effects plastered all over the boxes so that they can personally make educated decisions about their lives. For example, look at the Canadian cigarette boxes: http://www.smoke-free.ca/filtertips-5/images/Marlbo4.jpg (I don't know how people still smoke them... /mindblown)

Meanwhile people that do not like sugar, aren't trying to ban sugar (some minority of them may want sugar banned). The majority, just want consumers to be informed and make educated decisions. I'd like to personally add (and I think this opinion is shared): I would like it if we limit the abilities of marketers to hide the negative aspects of these substances. For example, a company shouldn't be allowed to advertise cereal to minors through colorful pictures and cartoons.

Can you imagine if cereal boxes needed 40% of their surface to be covered with pictures of diabetics with amputations/ulcers?
Or instead of a toy inside, you get an insulin monitor? How about pictures of cavities and decaying teeth?

Even if you don't get something like that, just having a glass of water nearby is a great way to reduce consumption. I drink a lot of diet soda and it's mainly out of compulsion to constantly drink liquids. If I keep a nice cold cup of water near where I am, the soda consumption drops super fast. Once I start drinking water during that day, that's usually what sticks.

For me, it's almost all about the habit of constantly drinking. That said, even though I know how to kick the habit, I still tend to drink a lot of diet soda because it's a nice pick-me-up.

I wish that I could give out those grades (except for the F, obviously). One of the drawbacks of our system is that we have to grade on a curve, particularly the number of top grades that we give. The deans can give some variation in that quota, but only in exceptional circumstances. It is hard when I am teaching an elective and these are students that are specifically choosing something very challenging when they could just as easily spend their last semester coasting through.

I have never had to fail a student, but I have had a few violations of academic integrity that had to be dealt with. One of the few upsides of intensive grading is that I tend to remember specific errors, and a flag always gets raised when I see the same error twice, regardless of how many variable names were changed, etc.

As far as I know there's no such thing as a `Cowboy application`. They're all Erlang/OTP applications. Sure, there's a learning curve associated with OTP apps, but since Erlang is a bit of an exotic language, I think it's understandable.

If you'd like to learn about the concepts behind an OTP application, you can read this guide: http://learnyousomeerlang.com/building-otp-applications or the Erlang documentation for OTP apps (which is pretty good I think).

Another viable option in my opinion would be to just look into the Phoenix framework for the Elixir language. Under the hood it uses cowboy. And it feels a lot like Rails.
I remember going over some html I had written in person with one of those coworkers. I had forgotten to write alt text for an image, and the filename itself was some ugly hex string or something. When he got to that part of the page the screen reader starting reading off the filename - it sounded like it was speaking tongues! His nose scrunched up and he shook his head disapprovingly: no, no no! After hearing that cacophony myself, I now try to remember to make things as accessible as possible.
Generic containers are an awkward mid-way point between special-purpose containers (a Wordpress instance or a rails app on heroku) and an actual machine.

You get the hassle of maintaining your own instances, without the flexibility or well-defined performance characteristics of an actual box.

I just don't see the market.
It might be worth looking at how Phoenix[0] does it (or, you know, just consider using Elixir/Phoenix). Phoenix runs on cowboy out of the box and makes setting up a web app a snap:

$ mix phoenix.new my_app

which then sets up the directory structure for you to just run

$ mix phoenix.server

and have cowboy serving your webapp. The guides then tell you which files to add new routes, controllers, models, etc (in a way similar to Django or Rails). All that said, it's in Elixir at that point, but maybe you could still infer how the applications and gen servers and whatnot are structured from it.

It may be worth asking josevalim and chrismccord in #elixir-lang for tips on setting it up, since they obviously must know how to set up cowboy pretty well to build a system on top of it.

I think Erlang and things like cowboy and OTP are absolutely amazing for the web, but Elixir has made things 100x easier to get up and running with them.

If there's any way that she can just say she's herself and skip the security procedures on a regular basis, then they aren't security and anyone else can just do the same thing to skip the procedures, so they might as well not even have them.

> I guess I'm saying don't be a jerk, be mindful of sight-impaired people when designing your products.

At a job I had five years back, new US government standards for handicapped accessibility came down, and I was asked pretty explicitly to do the absolute minimum necessary to make our web app technically comply with the letter of the rule. This essentially amounted to adding one- or two-word alt-text tags to image buttons, and nothing else. I wasn't happy with that, and I investigated to see if I could do better, but really doing it right would have taken weeks or months of work and a lot of inter-department cooperation, and I was just a contractor and the decision had been made many levels above me, so ultimately I had to do what was asked and move on to my next task. :(

So I guess my point is, don't assume that just having accessibility standards is enough, when there are people in the pipeline who view them as an annoyance. Whether you're a manager or a low-level dev, do what you can--more than I did--to make your coworkers understand that this stuff actually matters.
> Erlang can make sense sometimes, but it's probably not(!) comparable to Rails in those cases.

I have no dog in this fight, but I've seen many people say that -despite the newness of the library "ecosystem"- they get an awful lot done with Elixir/Phoenix, and have a lot of fun doing it.

(Remember that Elixir is -like Erlang- a BEAM language. This means that Elixir gets the ease-of-understanding and interesting features of its syntax and has access to all Erlang software ever written. Similarly, any and all Elixir code can be called from Erlang with little trouble.)

Edit: (Also remember that the BEAM equivalent of Ruby is Elixir, and the (most popular?) BEAM equivalent of Rails is (AIUI) Phoenix. Phoenix uses Cowboy as its HTTP(S)/SPDY server.)

There are 2 things wrong with your analysis, IMO.

First of all gzip will reduce this considerably. Both will end up much smaller, but also the % difference will be reduced, since the html version is likely to contain much less entropy per bit.

Secondly, in my version of how to do it, you can still use AJAX. It's fine to load blog posts via AJAX, and in that case you aren't reloading the boilerplate of the page? I am saying to return rendered html in the response rather than returning json and rendering it into html in the browser. The specific data returned can be the same either way, and the overhead of html over json in the case of a set of blog posts should be tiny, and depending on how much markup the posts themselves contain, the html version is quite possibly going to be smaller.

From one pedant to another: "I know that." >:)

However, there is (to put it loosely in OTP terms) a set of Cowboy behaviours. Your application is expected to implement one or more of these. While the API for these behaviours is reasonably documented, the Cowboy equivalent of the -say- gen_server "User's Guide" is so sparse as to be almost non-existent.
