Use it to manage and service connections to IoT/networking devices.

No migration, did some early prototyping of the web frontend with rails but backend was always elixir. Phoenix matured enough and really used it from early on in development.

Pros:

I am really a big fan and feel like its allowed me to do things that would have been very difficult to do in other languages. As I've learned more about the erlang/elixir and the BEAM in general I've become a big fan of it. Theres some things its not great for, but I really like the actor model/message oriented approach and the huge amount of things that you get "for free" by building on the it. At this point I would need a good reason to use anything else for a network-centric application.

The community is great and its been fun seeing it grow. I got into rails a bit after the huge wave of growth there, I feel like elixir is seeing similar and that I have the tide rising under me.

Cons:

There is a _lot_ to learn about the BEAM and you have to be ready to do that for a serious application. Nothing is free and your system isn't going to be magically fault tolerant and well designed just because you're writing it using elixir. You have to do things the "erlang way" and lean into it or you're going to have a bad time.

Functional programming isn't something a lot of people are familiar with. Its going to take a bit to onboard engineers who haven't thought about problems in that way before. Hiring is more difficult, but there is also a lot of self-selection at play, bad/mediocre devs probably aren't interested and while there are some good/great ones who aren't interested as well I find they're usually much more open minded.

Devops groups are going to have to work differently than they're used to. There could be some pushback on that.

For me the cons is vastly outweighed by the pros and 2 years in I would make the same decisions over again.
Actually, no. Nothing produced in the 90's is the same as what's been done in the last few years. But please cite your best work and we'll have a look.

Regarding your dick joke, it's not really relevant. This is not interesting because it is pornographic.
I was recently struck by this house, offered by Sears in 1921:

https://oklahomahousesbymail.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/sea...

What's crazy is the price: $47,085.20 in todays dollars. This is with all finishing materials (including stained glass) & delivered (no cement or bricks).

It's an amazing house, and any old schlub could order it from good ol' Sears.

If you don't have a recovery email address actively assigned, then you should be locked out.

That's what adding a recovery email is for: to deliberately weaken your account's security, in exchange for convenience.

If you disable recovery, then -- no surprise -- you won't be able to access your account if you lose access.

This post may seem unkind, but keep in mind that some people deliberately do not add recovery methods, in order to prevent secondary-takeover access; and that the above poster's request would fundamentally drastically weaken the security of those users.

I'm concerned about your ability to control the necessary variables. For example, any one of your anti-tracking measures (you're big into Internet privacy, yes?) may be triggering the suspension.
This blog post is part of a longer trail of breadcrumbs that is spread out across multiple sources and over a long period of time.

It started with the WashPo story[0] on the DNC hack and the CrowdStrike attribution (there were some good rebuttal stories at that time, I think they have changed their minds) and now you have 10-15 different sources kicking this story further down the road each day.

That's how journalism is changing - rather than having 2-3 investigative reporters at one newspaper do a one year investigation then publish their in-depth series (pass go, collect pulitzer etc.) the large stories are now often broken down piecemeal and worked on in public over time.

It means many more experts can work on it and the stories are better for it - but the downside is that they're very difficult to keep track of (the only way is Twitter or reddit, IMO - and the netsec reddit is horrible with approving stories). If you come into it part way you can feel lost because the writers assume you've been following along (which is a mistake)

I've honestly probably read 100+ stories on this thread, likely more. At this stage you need to bring the thread back together yourself with Google or starting with the Wikipedia pages[2][3]

I'm more pointing out the possibility its not state sponsored by Russia even if the attack originated in Russia. Based on the evidence they have released do we have any idea what Fancy Bear is really comprised of and what their motivations are? For all we know there could be Americans in the group. It could be hackers sharing techniques with eachother and operating under the same flag. I still have questions in my mind and I'm not willing to pass the judgement on what I have seen but its possible the security researchers have more evidence they can't release for various reasons.
It doesn't matter if people think they're clever or funny, a core tenet of HN is that you downvote cute jokes so that they don't eat all the real discussion like they do on Reddit.

Are the system (not app) updates Google releases applicable to all Android devices?

It's true that there are a high number of bugs available just in mobile browsers, which do receive google play updates, if you have google play, but viewing the underlying code as verified to be correct would be naive.

If I know that a smart phone or smart fridge will not get software updates and be substantially limited in functionality by that, I wouldn't pay more than 100 bucks for it, because I expect to buy another one in probably 14 months.

However, if the update problem would be fixed properly, I wouldn't mind paying a premium.

It seems that this isn't just laziness by the vendors but also calculated into nudging customers to buy new appliances and gadgets although the hardware is capable and perfectly fine. No vendor would admit to that, but this is being investigated and called planned obsolescence. If the price would reflect the artificially limited lifespan of a device, then the problem goes away, and it's just a matter how much of the materials gets recycled.
If that someone is working for the campaign of a politician/party which supports NSA spying on Americans, he or she has no right to privacy in my eyes. The way I see it, if you want me to respect your privacy, you have to respect mine.

Caltrain's DTX (Downtown Rail Extension) doesn't connect to the Central Subway either.

How long would you estimate it takes someone to "properly learn version control"? When I work with very junior developers they pick up git quite well in a week or two at most. Beyond that almost every team I work with uses their own special homegrown git workflow anyway.

I don't mean to put you down for you requirements but git is really really easy to learn. It would be a shame to miss out on a talented developer for something an otherwise well qualified developer could learn in a weekend.

The people who use public transport are much more likely to be users of share drive services. The target people for this technology, at least at the beginning, aren't going to be suburban or rural people, but urban people, and especially people with constraints such as no garage's or associated services and infrastructure. Any walk around New York, Singapore, or London, will demonstrate this.

These people will already be using public transport. They won't want to own a car if they don't need to. They'll want the convenience of a car, without the inconvenience of parking it and owning it. As more people do it, the costs associated with doing alternate things will increase (except, probably, for public transport). As less infrastructure is available for cars that sit empty all day in car parks, that empty-car infrastructure will get more expensive. When some bright spark recognizes that the space now occupied by a car-park, in a high-density city environment, can be turned into multi-million-dollar apartments, with a small private fleet of self-driving cars for their residents, there aren't too many wealthy people that won't want to have that property and service. There will be billions to be made.

All of these reasons, and more (like the insurance thing I talked about), I think, will contribute to it overtaking traditional methods of driving quite quickly when it is introduced.

There are many bus lines in the city, and a number of regional bus lines with Transbay Terminal service that are packed full of downtown office workers. I would much rather ride a transbay bus than take the train during rush hour. Also, many busses in SF are zero-emission and i think all of them are low-emission.
Downtime are way expensive, especially Lenovo I seen too many hardware defective in MNC, this are hidden costs that add up to any organization and Lenovo have no replacement parts to replace for the next few weeks due to shortage surprise.

I'm not sold on this. Some of the criticisms levied seem valid, and there's /some/ sensibility to the scale -- but the whole thing smacks of a post-hoc attempt to define why McMansions are in poor taste in non-socioeconomic terms. It's sufficient to just say "McMansions are tremendously wasteful symptoms of American decadence" -- but that might be psychologically hard if you've spent years in architecture school learning how to design status symbols for the upper classes.
Here's a neat idea: a smartphone, with a great camera, that doubles as a recharging brick. For itself.

I'll give you 10 to 1 odds on that if you want to bet.
Thanks, that answers my question! Installing linux-generic-lts-xenial should let me get the 4.4.x kernel on Ubuntu 14.04.

I might still switch to Arch Linux. It's been a hassle to get the latest releases of various packages (like python, gcc, etc). I've had to use third-party PPAs or manually install them. Ubuntu's freezing of packages makes it great as a base image for Docker containers and other reliably reproducible deployment scenarios, but that's not so great as a regular desktop user.

Interestingly the higher the number the more I like the house.

The low number ones are boring and plain. The high number ones are interesting to live in.
The "something bad" that happened was that VA home loans became available, and many returning servicemen took advantage of them. However, the maximum amount was small ($2,000 at first).

Whether this was actually "bad" or not depends on whether you think it was better to keep returning veterans in crowded, archaic housing, or whether it was better to let them have a modern house (with modern wiring, plumbing, etc.) that doesn't conform to your personal taste in the year 2016.

Note also that your 1921 Sears house doesn't include electrical wiring, plumbing, or heating.
Dude, my childless step-mother in-law is this!

A childless teacher is a pseudo-parent 8-3:30, 5 days a week, 9 months a year. They honestly havent got a clue. They can head home and chill. While parenting is an endless grind.

Kids will wedge into every spare moment and literally consume all the space, physical and mental energy.

Try spending all night up with 3 kids with the stomach flu then having your boss push you to meet a deadline the next day.

These teachers, including my mother in-law can keep their `advice`.

> I don't see this as a negative thing having witnessed someone terminated before in part due to misalignment with values. It can be a very useful tool for getting rid of someone who is quite obviously causing damage but might be hard to get rid of for other causes.

That's just the Al Capone argument. Should we have insane tax laws that everyone has broken at some point just so that the state can send the "right person" to jail? Should we allow planting of contraband on the "right suspect" because if they didn't have anything on them today you're making up for when they'll have something on them tomorrow? Holding a 5 tonne weight over everyone's head is no way to foster a good culture. You're just forcing people to live in fear of unjust reprimands.
Any valid critiques the author may have are completely lost in the contempt and pretentiousness of her writing style.

Additionally, I am incredibly skeptical of her ability to judge the quality of a house's construction based on a single exterior photo.
It's really bad when people idiotically think they should be able to put the house they want on their own property. What a bunch of tools.
Please do! Great work.

"Political beliefs" is another word for "opinions", and the crazy thing about opinions is you can change them. And the ones that you hold reflect on you.
If you want to understand how to build those things, you need to understand the actual theory of Computer Science. Textbooks and papers exist that will tell you (in the abstract) how to implement pretty much everything you named there. Of course, creating systems on the level of quality those have would require immense effort from a single person, that's why they all have a team of contributors rather than one lone genius past the founding stage.

I'm frankly mildly disturbed that no other comment in this thread at the time of writing gave you the same answer.

I've set up cron jobs in the past which automatically ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but it's sometimes caused things to unpredictably break, especially when you have the backports PPA.

Funny, I thought the author is mostly correct, and also chucked quite a few times at the silly writing.

Presumably the people who actually buy the "McMansions" don't think they look all that bad. Otherwise they'd buy something else, right?
Keep in mind that price is less lot, labor, piping, wiring, and things like permitting and surveying costs.

Well that price didn't include labor which was a very substantial part of the cost of a house even then. Also those houses didn't have any mechanicals, which also drives up the cost of modern housing. And of course the price doesn't include transportation away from the rail lines (which is why so many kit houses are built near the tracks), nor, for that matter, does it include the cost of the land or improvements.

I think the biggest problem with postwar housing is the attached garage. That throws absolutely everything off aesthetically.

PS: This appears to be a well-preserved example of the above kit house: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1a/fc/e1/1afce1e9d2ed... Very handsome building!
