No. You can start learning elixir and you'll learn about how the BEAM works on the way. You'll also eventually learn about Erlang/OTP libraries and probably that's when you'll start reading basic erlang code but that should come (mostly) naturally. I included some tips in another comment here.
Building an Open Source project from problem to production ready in 3 Days
Fashionable looking clothes for men in I would say Northern Europe is relatively expensive... because people buy brand names.

Jeans, t-shirts the likes... 200-300 USD for a pair of jeans is quite common (above also exists). You can get dirty cheap, but men are stupid (me included) -- and to be fair the quality is pretty decent.

I don't really shop in the US, because quality sucks.

I think this is a sign of things to come. The developed world has become so used to benefitting from China’s willingness to take our trash, dangerous labor and low paying work that we’re outraged and shocked when they decide they no longer have to.
It’s kind of obnoxious that they reformed this for corporations but not for individuals.

Credit score hacker is here
Back in 2016 we had one major drawback. Hubby lost his job, I had an accident that made me quit my job as well. We collected thousands of money from our Home Equity line of credit (HELOC) account which works sort of like a credit card to raise our son through college. This caused our credit scores to drop drastically, the bank almost terminated our line of credit and at that point I almost regretted my existence in life. I am using this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to my sister and her BFF she introduced to us as a credit score hacker and counselor. He cleared our HELOC debt of $142,000 and raised our scores to 765 and 758. My special thanks goes to this genius hacker, we purchased our second home last week for our son. As we have promised to give him more clients if he should successfully fix our problems. We are living testimonies and confident of this miracle worker to handle all jobs, I will implore everyone facing challenges with credit scores, credit report,bankruptcy,mortgage issues to reach him on;

Smartphones Have Virtually Eliminated Boredom from the Modern Life

Been watching this thread all day and I’m dumbfounded no one has spoken up for React with a modern router like found[0]. Once you learn to use these things, making an SPA is really nice, and you can easily introduce universal rendering which takes your SPA to the next level by rendering it on the server.

I find it strange that people talk like server rendered pages with progressive enchancent a la 2013 aka Stack Overflow aka GitHub are easy to make and maintain. It’s 2018 and when you close an issue on GitHub the count doesn’t change until you refresh the page. It’s 2018 and when you go back on Stack Overflow the alerts you just dismissed are suddenly unread again. These are companies capitalized with hundreds of millions of
dollars yet they are incapable of making server rendering with
progressive enchancement work. It’s not their fault, it’s the
technology, it’s busted.

Yet for some reason people are lauding server rendering as effective and desirable and capable of producing rich UI that’s sane to build and maintain. It’s not. It’s unmanagable at any scale.

With React etc in 2018 all of these problems have been solved, and as I said above, the SPA is not even something to argue about anymore because you can render your app on the client or the server. This whole article is moot. All these problems have been solved and the solutions are free for anyone who has the interest and bandwidth to build products like it’s 2018.

It’s a feature, in the same way that the decentralized nature of white collar crime is a feature. The bug is in the people who naively believe that technology changes human nature, rather than empowering it.

Those people need to be locked in a small room with an excellent library to study history for at least a year.

To me it's a JIT if the compiler is needed to run the code.

If it means compile on start, it still requires the compiler to be used at load time.

Non JIT would mean you can distribute the code without the compiler. If you can't do that, its JITTED or interpreted, if instead of requiring a compiler to be present you require an interpreter.
Aside from the weather, Toronto is a much nicer city than SF. Also, the COL analysis fails to account for the value of public services, which is presumably greater in Canada. Probably not nearly enough to make up the difference, but it's something to consider.

I've tested the google API and I'd say it's quality is similar to what I see in this example result. In other words, not great.

For me, this isn't close enough to be considered a "valid" transcription. Too much information is lost. Too much context is lost.

Truly looking forward to a day when ML / AI can do this with high degrees of accuracy, but we're not there yet.
Ah...overdraft protection. Useful if you would otherwise have bounced a check to a third party--but very annoying when the bad check is to your own bank!

My Bank of America checking account had overdraft protection that automatically would cover the overdraft from my Bank of America credit card.

I normally kept that checking account near zero, and would do a transfer from savings at the ATM to cover any checks I mailed that day. One day I didn't get around to doing that transfer and the check I had written that day bounced.

That check was to pay off my credit card bill, which I paid in full every month so as to not incur any interest charges.

Let's assume that I owed $200 on the credit card.

Result:

1. Check is not sufficient. The overdraft protection kicks in, and my credit card is charged $200 to pay off the $200 that was due on my credit card...so basically a no-op except...

2. I'm hit with an overdraft fee on the checking account, and a cash advance fee on the credit card.

The cash advance fee was quite a bit more than the interest would have been if I had simply skipped trying to pay the credit card bill that month.

The bank software really should be smart enough to recognize payments between accounts at that bank, and handle errors such as overdrafts more intelligently.

We probably disagree on the big issues too. I'm not gonna call you "revolting," though.
Max/MSP has been around for a long time too. I've got a magazine article from 1997 about how U2 used Max to drive everything on their PopMart & Zoo TV tours. Not just the lighting & video screens, but also controlling the synthesizers & the effects pedals routing on The Edge's guitar for different songs. The whole show was run from a single Macintosh Quadra 650 running Max (though they kept a second Quadra 650 booted in case the first one crashed during the show). [The article was "U2 Live! The computers behind PopMart" by John Krogh, in the Nov/Dec 1997 issue of Music & Computers.]

Heard a comedian joke recently about how he read Ted Kaczynski's stuff and it made sense until he got to the part about recycing being fake. I couldn't laugh.
When you think of it that way, in practice it really is the exact opposite of the “Serverless” buzzword - it’s 100% definitely absolutely requiring a persistent centralized remote server.

Decentralized solutions 100% definitely absolutely do not.
silence is golden, except for people with tinnitus.

I had a lovely ride in a glider, but its hardly silent up in the sky either: air is noisy moving over your flight surfaces.

I think silence is a manufactured state: noise is a subjective qualitative thing. As I lay in an MRI recently I found myself counting time-beats as the head rotated, groups of four, groups of eight (its very noisy btw)

Writing a back-end for a mobile app right now. I need a few CRUD calls, but I also need stuff to stay in real-time sync between users.

So far I've been able to sprinkle magic cloud fairy dust on things, solve auth, solve concurrency, and deployment is super easy.

I originally thought about doing it on a VPS. Then I realized I'd have to deal with a bunch of issues that I Just Don't Want To Deal With Right Now, especially since I am trying to get an MVP out ASAP to validate my idea. The various cloud providers all offer nice, well tested, SDKs to do all of the nasty/boring work for me, and a single call on my command line deploys everything.

Side channels are always present. I think people not realizing it is a sad example of how our brains compartmentalize things, so that even smart individuals end up abstracting away the physical world.

These articles are only friendly reminders: computing runs in physical reality. Whatever you do, whatever information you process, its always broadcasting itself at the speed of light. The only thing you can do is to try and raise the practical costs of a side-channel attack so much, that it becomes much more expensive than the target data is worth to the attacker.
Individuals don’t really matter in the calculus of billions of people. The dominant trends are frankly old, and persistent.

Not glass. Yes metal.

Glass is so worthless for recycling, all they do with it is crush it and use it to cover landfill each night to keep down rodents and dust. That's considered "recycled".

> As for an honest society, do you have some historical reference point, or are you just aiming for utopia?

For some reason greenwashing is really prevalent among people who should know better (policy makers, scientists, environmentalists). And regular people desperately want recycling to be a real thing so that they feel better about themself.

It's a perfect match, leading to the situation we have now.

Hack over weekend: an AT&T bill splitter
Going along the principle that YC advocates, "solve a real problem for yourself", last weekend I whipped out this web app that splits AT&T wireless bill automatically.

It's deployed at http://198.199.111.180/

It would be great if people here can give some feedback on this. As the developer I obviously feel that I'm looking at it way too close to judge it.

The motivation of building it is quite straightforward. As an account owner, it always drives me crazy to split our ATT bills. It's as if ATT makes it overly complex in purpose. I always dreamed of a product that calculates the bill for me. So here we go, this is actually a product that solves my own pain.

Speaking of the product itself, I felt that it could become increasingly better if people continue using it. It's because the system is able to scan through more and more test cases, and therefore gets more coverage for all the corner cases bill may have.

Appreciate any thoughts you would like to share with me.

Cheers

> and reclaimed woods that we can't afford to grow any longer. and wood fiber products. and hdpe.

Copper (all metal) yes. But reclaimed wood costs more than alternatives. I looked into it once - the premium I would have to pay to keep wood out of a landfill was just unrealistic.

Wood fiber is only worth it from industrial plants that create it in quantity, and without contaminants.

HDPE is not worth recycling - it costs more than just making it fresh.

I propose just burn it for energy (and thus reduce oil use). Then use that oil to make other HDPE. The lifecycle works out better that way.

We could just landfill our trash. But then we would feel bad about ourself. China doesn't want that - they want us buying lots and lots of stuff.
