I'm learning Elixir right now, and I'm enjoying it so far. I've never learned Ruby, having worked with Javascript, C#, C++, and Python in the past. Interestingly, what prepared me to understand Elixir the best were the Rambda and Bacon.js libraries in Javascript, which use a lot of functional programming concepts.

I've been learning Elixir over the past couple months and writing about it on my "Learn with Me: Elixir" series at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com. The idea was to give any interested developers a way to learn Elixir as I learn it. I do make the occasional comparison to languages like Javascript and C#, but any experienced developer should be able to follow along. I'm getting toward the end of the basics of Elixir and starting to learn about the more intermediate functionality.

I'm looking forward to getting into the more advanced features of Elixir and creating real software with it.

I find it interesting that Elixir is a common upgrade path for Ruby developers. I wonder if that's actually a handicap because the syntax similarities would cause them to make the wrong assumptions about how Elixir works. The syntax is completely new to me, so I had no preconceived notions of what the syntax meant.

> The Wright brothers are a timeless example of how private enthusiastic entrepreneurs can outperform heavily financed and government backed organizations. They’re also a prime example that a degree or title in itself doesn’t qualify you for success in an endeavor. Experience, imagination, and courage will generally be the currency that pays for success.

You sort of knew that bit was coming, but you can't really be prepared for that much hogwash that quickly.

First, they're obviously not a timeless example. A distinguishing feature of their time, compared to ours, is that there were no qualified aerospace engineers. Another feature is that the scientific and analytic culture was far more disjointed, immature, and parochial at the time. Consider, for example, fusion research today. No amateur will produce a burning plasma. ITER will. Because the scientific environment is more sophisticated, and is able to take on challenges outside of what amateurs can.

Second, they are not a prime example about the efficacy of a degree regarding "success," not least because n=1 in an endeavor riddled with variation. It's equally likely that they got very, very lucky, in spite of their apparent rigor.

Third, and finally, "[e]xperience, imagination, and courage" are not dichotomous with a "degree or title." It's not really apparent to me that, outside of the imaginations of sophomoric libertarians, that anyone believes that the world is stuffily dismissing outsiders who clearly have the facts on their sides in scientific and technical endeavors. Focusing on this fair-tale split between imagined elitists in their ivory towers and the pragmatic and gritty masses betrays a fascination with a staple of corny Americana, the garage workshop and its ilk. It's trite, predictable schlock.

Those people are not entitled to learn one thing and then be able to get work forever, the wordpress technical leadership (i.e. the ones who actually work on the core software day to day and make the technical decisions) are making changes that they feel enhance the product or make it easier to maintain, if a particular wordpress developer has a problem with that then they can either choose to support only the old versions or just learn something new. The other option is to work on some other PHP software that isn't making changes.

> No. Nuclear power creates the most dangerous waste known to mankind and we have no way of mitigating or eliminating it.

You can't have this both ways.
Either CO2 is the most dangerous waste and must be dealt with severely, or it is not.

>When you add the costs of closing and "cleaning up" a plant site, which run into the billions of dollars for each plant, nuclear just doesn't make sense.

Solar and wind are going to require billions of dollars for the same output as well, plus additional lithium mines for batteries since the sun doesn't shine every day (and reprocessing when the cells run out), plus those who are going to get killed in construction/maintenance (roof work is dangerous). We've just externalized the consequences for some of that since we don't bother to tax products based on how badly the source country destroys the environment through the manufacture of the product.

Life creates waste, and it's time to accept that reality; you won't get a perfect solution so maybe it's time to start accepting merely good ones instead. Saving the environment is too important to wait.

>The obvious omissions and lack of consideration of other factors threatening the planet belies this author's bias/naivete/stupidity/other motivations.

The vast majority of problems facing the planet can be solved given extremely cheap energy:

- Need clean drinking water? Simply desalinate ocean water if you have enough energy.

- Need clean air? Various catalytic converters can remove most and in many cases all harmful molecules, they just cost energy.

- Need to sequester carbon? Sure we know how to do it, provided you have enough energy.

- Need to feed the world? We already grow enough food, the main problem is transportation of that food. Again, easy with enough energy and electric vehicles.
Gonna toss a related idea out there: Converting single-phase AC power to DC requires treating a lot of ripples. Maybe an audiophile should convert three-phase AC power to DC to ensure higher power quality?
My point is that the inputs don't gauge market fear, and that should be restudied.

Market fear is just the summation of spreads and implied volatility of the some of the index's options contracts, but if all the liquidity in any series has been diluted amongst having more series then you aren't going to get the same results or indication of market sentiment in the VIX number.
Do the math/research yourselve, it's not getting the same results.

Don't confuse the sound of compression with the sound of music being louder. Compression can help with poor quality equipment or noisy listening environments (e.g. cars), but it also adds audible distortion and is tiring to listen to for long. Most dynamic range compression in music is there to trick people into playing it louder (see "loudness war"), and louder music sounds better. Of course, you can get the same benefit without the distortion by turning the volume up yourself.

But despite vinyl being poorly suited to high dynamic range, the vinyl release sometimes has higher dynamic range than the CD/download release. This is probably because vinyl purchasers are thought to be more discerning customers. This isn't always the case; the most popular dynamic range measurement algorithm (see http://dr.loudness-war.info/ ) is fooled by all-pass filtering, and vinyl record players do this, so the measurements will be falsely high for vinyl. Often the supposedly higher dynamic range vinyl release is actually from an identical master.

For as good as Canadian universities are at research, they often are just as poor at commercialization.

Part of the cause is universities wanting to own the IP for themselves (turning off industry partners), and part of it is researchers don't often enough live in the real world of applying said research.

Most academic collateral like this.. is in part easier to understand thru the lens of cash flow: any PR is better than no PR, because it can be used to seek further funding / grants from government and try to push social proof on industry partners.

Right, but we're talking about few millimeters (not centimeters) of difference between bricks, which are not comfy but not too extreme if driving on any bike at ~10km/h => advantages outweigh disatvantages.

Bikes being the least problematic opponent group, I would be more worried by skateboard, inline-skate, etc... opposition groups.

In Switzerland we solved it (as long as it was implemented by the local community or city) by having very smooth sidewalks (but bikes still have to drive on the street as they're too fast for the sidewalk and have more than enough suspension for the normal street at normal speeds).

Power concentration is not inherent to central banks; it's inherent to government-provided money of any sort. (And as David Graeber's work on "Debt" suggests, government money is in turn fundamental and closely related to other basic functions of government, including dispute resolution! The sorts of exchanges for which you need money the most are also the exchanges where the dispute-resolution function provided by government courts is important.) Even gold/silver currency never actually solved this, because people never really used well-defined amounts of pure gold/silver as money; they use either paper currency or coinage, either of which were quite frequently debased.

And because the supply of gold and silver is only weakly correlated with what the economy needs to keep nominal incomes on a predictable path (which mitigates market frictions and delivers a smoother-functioning economy, for standard "Keynesian" reasons), there is no well-established solution to this issue; in practice, we've settled on having centralized issuance of money, and having it managed by an independent authority, with strong, constitutional-level guarantees to that effect. For essentially historical reasons, we like to call that authority a "central bank".

> It's equally likely that they got very, very lucky, in spite of their apparent rigor.

I recommend reading a detailed account of their R+D program. They were not lucky. They did not randomly produce a flying airplane. They first identified each of the problems, and set about building prototypes directed at solving each of the problems one by one.

You could say that the Wrights invented the directed research and development process.

I think the methodology is broken here. If we start to extend the notion of religion to be able to mark any world view as a religious one, than what a point to have a notion of a religion? With such a methodology religion becomes unfalsifiable by means of Popper, so it have zero value as an idea.

In particular they tend to name any belief as a religious one. So if I believe in the power of progress, then I have a religious belief therefore I'm religious. But not every belief is religious, some are very rational and based on evidence.

What I cannot comprehend is why? Why people do it and for what reason? Why they want to believe that everyone bears religion? They want it so much that they are ready to turn inside out the notion of religion, which seems very important for them. They are ready to make the notion of religion to become meaningless this way. Why?

I have a hypothesis for it. Those thinkers just know nothing about science, methodology and rationality, and they are making their best trying to wrap a very big and complex world into something they understand. It happens that they understand nothing but religion, so all the world for them becomes religious.
Thanks, that's an interesting read.
indeed a developer can use that trick "in the case of conversion traits".

Monomorphization seems to be the source of 2 major problems: compile time, and binary size.

An optimization that could reduce the compile time by caching the generated code (at least when compiling over-and-over the same code base. i.e. "Incremental compilation") - and it seems that Rust already is doing something with it [1]. I wonder if something specific is done for template instantiations there.

Optimizations aimed at reducing binary size seems much more tricky, if not impossible, except as you pointed out in the limited cases described above. In the regular cases, templates are kind of working as intended: the developer has to think if he/she would have written the same amount of code N times if templates were non existent.

> Actually no. After decoding there is nothing special in the aex register.

The microcode, or specifically the modern x86 processors, are using register renaming to move things around, but the actual ASM commands imply that the results should end in EAX register. You cannot arbitrarily do a MUL and get the result from EBX for example [3]. i.e. x86 assembly dictates where the results should end in.

AMD played with two ideas: A pure ARM core, and a hybrid x86 core with ARM co-processor. The ARM core missed the performance targets [0], and they also abandoned the ARM accelerated x86 core [1], but I don't know why.

They never intended to go full TransMeta and transcode the x86 ASM into something proprietary or ARM.

Bonus: It seems they are still muling the idea of X86/ARM hybrid [2].
