I just want to understand if Elixir is being used outside toy projects and if there's a demand for Elixir developers.

I'm about to start something like this as I have the 'losing weight but losing it from the wrong bits' issue mentioned in another post.

I am physically active, I don't drive, I walk around 3 to 4 miles a day as part of my commute, I go up and down three or four flights of stairs quite a lot of times a day (I'm a teacher and timetabling systems seem to have a Saltationist bias as they have us jumping between lessons) and I work mostly standing up and moving around a large room. So I imagine a vaguely similar activity profile to the hunter gatherers mentioned - I'd love more detail on miles walked per day &c.
How to simplify and secure your Node.js AWS Lambda code
If every employee at Pillar pulled out a bullet list of accomplishments from their annual performance review- it would seem everyone from the admin to the CEO saved the company from death multiple times. If everyone of these guys flashed those every time they screwed something up- it would be very hard to operate a company. There is give and take at work and its good to be aware of that line is.

On my Android phone, it is AFAICT impossible to remove the Google-branded search bar from the top of every page of the "desktop" (or whatever we call the basic app launcher screen on phones). On my Windows 10 computer, it is trivial to remove Cortana from my taskbar.
It's hard to explain how important the journals are for a scientists. It's not even the effect that a paper in Nature is (in some disciplines) the fastest way to tenure. It's got an even bigger psychological factor: If you get into Science, you frame it and hang it on the most prominent wall in your living room or office. With a Nobel too rare to practically hope for, this system is the only reward all those mice-conditioning mice are conditioned to.
I wonder how much talent retention comes into play here, since Amazon has a very high ratio towards RSUs in the total comp package if I remember correctly.

When $AMZN girates or tanks, at least some part of their workforce would be tempted to leave. Though maybe that's the exact segment they wouldn't mind see leaving anyways?
I'd assume that's due to a lack of exposure - NYC has a lot of small dogs and I don't ever recall seeing the behavior you describe
Everybody lives and dies by the numbers, long term consequences be damned.

Even developers do this, although most of us resent having to do it. You manage risk and tech debt by splitting high risk projects into many small pieces, and amortizing improvements across low-complexity features. The long and short lines are never more than an order of magnitude or so apart, even though it might take ten 'tasks' to equal one change that the customer will actually notice.
Or you can use the anchoring effect mentioned in the article to your advantage.

Q: 'What's your current salary?'
A: 'I can't disclose my current salary, but I'd be looking for something around $1.5x to come on board.' where x is your preferred salary.
I'm currently in an underpayed development position and am trying to get to market rate, yet every recruiter and HR person asks this question.

Anyone have any idea what would happen if I just refused to answer it and use the 'I'm looking to be paid what I'm worth to the company' line?
When doing integer math with medium sized numbers on systems without floating point hardware, I have to be careful to arrange operations so they do not overflow, and sometimes it's still necessary to give up and use a 64-bit type on a 32-bit CPU.

An example calculation would be projecting a 3D coordinate into a 2D space.
I'm not going to argue that this accounts for it entirely, but I do think it's worth pointing out that women typically are less interested in higher ranked positions than men tend to be [0]. They are less likely to be promoted because they are less likely to want a promotion.

From a metabolic point of view, that is correct. What others are trying to point out is there is a mental aspect to that, involving our appetite feedback loop. The human body is a highly interdependent system, not a set of isolated microservices.

The way I view it is to maximize the enjoyment out of food. Don't just view it as fuel to be ingested as fast as possible; savor it! Appreciate the flavor of that rice, that bacon. It may sound like becoming a food snob—which it can if one has elitist tentencies—but it's more about appreciating the components that make up the food we eat, and turning it into an art.

An implied requirement for that is to slow down and take the time to eat. There's about a 20m delay for the feedback loop of satiation to occur. So eating slowly and in courses gives our bodies the time to appreciate what is coming in and for the mechanisms to provide better feedback. I'm always amazed at how some can ingest a 1800 kcal meal in 15 minutes: no feedback can happen that fast.

(Disclaimer: yes I'm French)
There's no mystery. I just want to understand if Elixir is being used in the real world (other than enthusiast programmers doing side projects) and if there's a demand for Elixir services.

I agree. The frameworks are similar enough that you don't really get much from switching between them. There are differences, sure, but they are far smaller than the similarities.
This is a very big deal for the field of paleontology! A lot of scientists are excited by this. Equivalent of the human genome project, but for really old rocks!

True, but why does economists and politicians in America be so singularly obsessed about it?

I am from Norway I spent a lot of time reading American news and some of the big differences I notice is that while we in Norway pretty much never talk about GDP and economic growth in public, it is a very central theme in the US. It doesn't mean economics isn't discussed, it is simply different aspects of it. competitiveness, unemployment, salaries is discussed a lot as well as how money should most effectively be used on welfare programs.

I am not saying one thing is better than the other. E.g. in Norway there is probably not enough focus on how value is created. But at least the economic debate feels broader.
I love history on a map!

Here's a littler something I've been working on, more focused on human history than natural history: https://alpha3.histori.city/

it's kind of a mashup of Wikipedia + Map + Time Machine.

It's all open source. Still a very early release & definitely some rough edges, but thought maybe it's ready enough to share. all feedback very much appreciated.
Yes. And interestingly the GP's article spends a lot more time on that than the bird/bread. (Though that bird may have come back from the future as a saboteur[1].)

And because having your fine location cross the wire unencrypted is a terrible idea :)
Our evidence is much, much, much better in the case of people. We talk to them, dance with them, have sex with them, have a lifetime of interpreting subtleties of their tone and body language and power politics. We are the same species as they are.

It makes sense to talk about not knowing the mind of a cat or dog in a way that it does not make sense to say the same of a person, even if you grant that "you never really know someone else," and even if you grant the technical possibility that everyone else is just a sophisticated automaton (though it's unclear what that would even mean, or how that would change anything).
Lying during interview process is very dangerous for your career. If you don't want to answer, don't answer.
It's not complicated. Most of the world's really bad amateur crypto is written as a vanity exercise in saving the world. It's not like there's uncertainty about whether people have launched grievously, dangerously broken crypto software; they have. And those people do tend to be #1's.

Also, please do not try to represent my problem with the EFF's scorecard as somehow idiosyncratic. There probably aren't too many crypto engineers who don't share my opinion of it. You're probably giving me more credit than I deserve when you call it "my war".
What do you mean by hardcode? I disabled all Google apps incl Play Services, Services Framework, etc on my smartphone and it still works quite well. Sure, many people don't know how to do that but most of them certainly wouldn't want to do without either.
My partner's cat had a urinary blockage that caused him to pee everywhere for several months before it was figured out that it was a physical issue (it coincided with moving to a new place, so it was assumed to be stress). They pee everywhere because it's painful to urinate, so they hold it until they can't anymore. It can be a life-threatening condition. But, it's also thought to be exacerbated by stress, so maybe taking Prozac reduces the stress and prevents the blockage from progressing.
I never answer this question. I always answer with my salary expectations and push back if the recruiter is trying to play hardball. Answering gives them leverage over you.
Sorry, but Bezos and Buffet are not even in the same league as Elon Musk.
AI will eliminate truck night stops, allowing them to be driven 24/7. Hopefully more trucks will be moving at night. That should reduce the jams.
I'd be OK with using BFS or DFS, but with this caveat:

If it's a whiteboard thing, then don't expect a detailed, working implementation in code. Ask for a sketch / high level overview / pseudo-code that shows the candidate understand it well enough that you can infer that they could implement it with a compiler / google / book / etc.

OR

If you want an implementation, give them a machine, let them use their language of choice, use google, etc., and let them actually code it up, making and fixing errors as they go, etc. I actually like this because it lets you see how someone approaches debugging, etc.

In either case, you could supplement the exercise with some discussion questions "why /when would you use BFS?" etc.
I find it very difficult to imagine how an engineering position wont benefit from having strong CS fundamentals. If you write code you need to understand how the code you are writing works. How the libraries you depend on do what they do. If you run into problems you'll be need to able to think of solutions. This idea that you'll look up how to do some computer science algorithm when you need to is ignorant, because you may not know when you need it.

A lot of the CS fundamentals in interview questions demonstrate an ability for problem solving and abstract thinking. It demonstrates your ability to handle coding problems under stress. Resorting to complaining about hard computer science problems is the exact opposite response you should have. It should motivate you to improve and learn more, not feel bitter and angry. Likely this attitude indicates a poor culture fit as well. So in effect asking computer science question is doubly useful, because it helps filter out candidates who opt for alternatives to self-improvement and overcoming challenges.
So is Torch though.

Besides, deep learning is mostly just matrix operations anyway, so you're kind of saying "TensorFlow is about a lot more than matrix operations - it's a matrix library too"...
the library is compatible with both version of python, but I feel like python2.7 is still the mainstream one

You are taking the title as meaning

or equivalently

That's not what the title is saying. What it is saying is

The adaptive cruise control in my Ford turns itself off if the speed is low enough-- which on Seattle-area freeways happens pretty often. So I stopped trying to use it.

It is super steep, but it's not unprecedented. Several Swiss railways have extended 7% grades and have been operating for over a century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernina_railway for instance

The problem with steep railway lines is generally BRAKING, not climbing. Norfolk Southern ran freight up and down the Saluda grade in NC for over 100 years, and that's at nearly 5%.
I am with you, since pretty much any scientist would love to be cited by another's research, any scientist will send you a copy of their paper if you ask them for it. And since the creator of the work is willing to give it away to you for free, it cannot possibly be "piracy".

And--anecdotally--avoiding 300 calories of snack is much much easier than finding time, opportunity, and inspiration for 300 calories of exercise.
Over here, I noticed it is much more pleasant to be stuck in rush hour traffic than off peak. At peak hour, people know the game and know they won't get anywhere faster by cutting and trying to fight for every inch. They tend to stay in their lane, merge smoothly and all lanes go the same speed.

But as soon as the traffic lightens a bit, idiots just come back to break the peace. I include myself in those.
I understand that, but it's reasonable to suspect that for a significant number of #2s, #1 is the initial motivating factor that got them learning.

We see this all the time in software development, where excellent engineers are borne of trying to build a video game at age x, where x is a relatively low number.

Similarly, there's no reason that someone initially motivated to eradicate "evil" can't become a great security mind, and I suspect Moxie and many like him are of this ilk.
I'm embarrassed that I never thought of this, but now that you mention it, it seems obvious there would be subsets of emotions other animals feel that we do not. Even if our capacity for emotion is greater, it seems unlikely that the VENN diagram of our emotions and their emotions would show their circle completely contained within ours.

One thing I do think about a lot is what mental capacity other animals have that we do not. An elephant's brain is way bigger than ours. Considering that other large animals have proportionately smaller brains, it must be that size for a reason. I wonder what mental things are easy for an elephant but hard for a human?

My theory is they simply can't find enough things to spend on, but can't afford to lower AWS pricing without being swamped with more demand than they can handle.

I don't think Amazon are preparing for period of capital investment - making profits and then taking them away is surely worse than consistently making very little as far as the stock market is concerned.

This is not the sort of problem many businesses come up against.

There may be some dumb people out there misinterpreting the stat, but there are also an incredible number of people "straw-manning" the ENTIRE opposition as glib.

For example, I've seen people cite the White House page as "fallen to the delusion", when in fact it is quite explicit:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/equal-pay

> In 2014, the typical woman working full-time all year in the United States earned only 79 percent of what the typical man earned working full-time all year. Phrased differently, she earned 79 cents for every dollar that he earned. The pay gap is even greater for African-American and Latina women, with African-American women earning 64 cents and Latina women earning 56 cents for every dollar earned by a white non-Hispanic man. Decades of research shows that no matter how you evaluate the data, there remains a pay gap — even after factoring in the kind of work people do, or qualifications such as education and experience — and there is good evidence that discrimination contributes to the persistent pay disparity between men and women. In other words, pay discrimination is a real and persistent problem that continues to shortchange American women and their families.

There is absolutely no lie or imprecision there. It is a common rhetorical trick to tar your entire opposition as idiots. The people claiming that the pay gap is a "myth" are just as just as zealot-like as the people misinterpreting the 77c figure.
ProtonMail might be up your street. It fulfils points 1-4. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_provider...

As I side note, I agree that the most popular email providers are sorely lacking the friendliness that they used to have. So many of them require mobile phone activation and expire early, which is super unhelpful if you want a throw-away account.
I've published several dozen papers through these academic publishers. I get no royalties. I have no problem with people pirating them, and I have no qualms about pirating other people's papers.
Haxe is cross platform in the sense of being able to compile to different languages not in the sense of merging different platform features into one library.

For example, you can use Haxe to build a native Android application using the Java target as you would do with using Java in the first place. Same with iOS (but using the C++ target)

AFAIK, there isn't any active project that offer the same as Xamarin in Haxe. You could, in theory, use Haxe to target C# and Xamarin but I haven't tested it.
Plenty of people have done actual experiments and found that many hiring managers are biased, though I don't think anyone is claiming they are outright sexists.

You forgot the part of the message where Company sees an opportunity to get rid of Mr. CrankyPants, and seizes it. The way I read between the lines, he didn't get fired for coming in late one day; he got fired for being an insufferable ass [0] for a period prior.

Article is fairly similar to my experience- infosec uses up all their goodwill by appearing inflexible on everything before we get to any important points.

NameCoin is a failure. There are two problems. 1. no one uses it. 2. cybersquatters.
I know that. I take issue when it is stated as an absolute fact when the most well-known study was done in a very specific field and therefore makes it hard to really extrapolate out to the entire workforce.
Again: you're rebutting me as if my argument was that anyone who believed in "good" and "evil" was a #1. That's not my definition of a #1.
All the information we have is hourly wage, income, and job title. We can't know if a woman with the lower-paid job title of "Programmer Analyst" is doing the same work as a man with a job title of "Senior Software Engineer."

The "same job" is a subjective distinction, so you can't say it's entirely false; it's really a matter of opinion.
Who, then, would you say is in Mr. Musk's league?
Agreed. The problem is that weighing yourself is easy, but measuring body fat is way harder. Most of the at-home measurement tools are wildly inaccurate; the accurate ones are either expensive or inconvenient.

It's not wrong if you want to save on salaries of your staff. I suspect that the people that answer with a $ number rather than the way you did, are less likely to assert themselves and thus consistently take lower salaries.

Learning how to sell new things - not only following someone instructions, but creating the instructions yourself.
Our body's software is so hopelessly out of date. It's programmed to preserve fat at all cost: something quite useful, say 2 million years ago when famines were happening almost every day.

Medical and nutritional science needs to advance more quickly in this regard. Currently, it's going at a snail's pace. I mean, we understand the entire creation of the universe, but the most advanced nutritionists in the world are barely aware of the basic mechanisms which govern our fat production, not even understanding how it works. So far, all we have is theories, hypothesis, correlations and some compelling experimentations.

Personally, I'm waiting for the iBody app to come out. iBody, will allow us to control our metabolism at a cellular level, dialing it up or down at will. We'll be able to control our appetites and hungers at the push of a button too. But, at this rate, who knows how long it will take to get this off the ground: 100s of years, thousands? Come on investors, this is a multi-trillion dollar market.
