For the past couple years I’ve been running a pet supply business focused on eco friendly and high quality toys, treats, collars, etc.

Originally started as a T-shirt company specializing in dog puns but expanded a couple years in. The T-shirts are all printed and fulfilled by a US company and I have the pet supply inventory at my house so it’s quick to ship. Not entirely passive but only takes about 5-10 hours each week.

Been gaining momentum recently so it’s been an increasingly better income source.

What I look for in Tech Startups (2016)
The Elixir team took a deliberate step to limit the features built into the language itself, and prefer non-core solutions developed as external packages instead.

For example, they recently scrapped plans on building property testing into the language core.

Which is something I find very refreshing, TBH, having worked with the JS ecosystem, I somehow find this approach to be rather relieving for some reason.

Edit: It’s very unlikely because Amazon and Google pay for false positives, so they have a strong incentive to develop really good trigger word detection.

If the false positives give them data that increases the value of your marketing profile by more than the cost of processing the interactions then they actively profit from false positives, and have no reason at all to stop them.
> Then there's the whole promise of it being usable from multiple platforms ("you don't even have to use NixOS, just use the package manager for awesome builds") -- It was supposedly amazing for building some software packages, but the reality was always so sticky and never quite panned out.

The vast majority of Guix users are on other (so-called "foreign") distributions (i.e. not GuixSD) -- I think the opposite is true for Nix/NixOS.

I'm not sure what's "sticky" about it, can you elaborate?

In previous rounds, Slack’s CEO and co-founder Stewart Butterfield has said that the company raises “opportunistically.” That is, it doesn’t have to raise money because it’s already making money and still has some in the bank, but as long as VCs are knocking, it’s worth taking the funding if it’s coming in at good valuations because you never know what might lie ahead.

And as a board member and a C.E.O., I have a responsibility to our employees, to our customers. And as a fiduciary, I think it would be almost imprudent for me not to accept $160 million bucks for 5-ish percent of the company when it’s offered on favorable terms. We don’t have an immediate use for that money. But it increases the value of our stock and can allow potential employees to take our offers, and it reinforces the perception for our larger customers that we’ll be around for the long haul. All of that stuff.
I'm currently reading _The Righteous Mind_. While I haven't finished it yet, so far a major theme has been that reason's major job is merely to justify what the gut instinct has already decided.

Taking that theory to its conclusion, that means that most people are approaching the question of rationality vs. emotion the wrong way by assuming that appeals to reason and logic are the way to convince the average person. Not so; one must convince their emotions first, and then they will reason together a logical framework to fit their emotion.

It's a bit distressing to think about, but unsurprising when one reflects on the course of history that humanity has taken, and is taking.
No, there’s not necessarily a single common female human ancestor. There might be several of related, but not reliably interfertile, species. The most recent common ancestor in that case might be quite nonhuman, though presumably a primate.

> I don't know where to put these expressions other than next to the project, but I don't think it belongs in version control.

What about using .gitIgnore or using a git submodule for them? Ideally you could have one central repo for nix workflows, and then just have git submodule point to the repo's subfolder, so when you do submodule init, it pulls down that specific folder. Otherwise, you could use .gitignore and a symlink to that as you might do with your dotfiles if you manage those through version control.
It is absurd that two (not one) doctor's scripts are needed to buy a sugar testing device. I've been trying to get this for my mother but it has been an awful experience in terms of their willingness to sell. I wish a company that actually wants to make money would soon offer an alternative.

They are opaque on pricing, do not answer questions about where to buy, do not clearly state what kind of prescription they need.

> It seems hard to apply spaced repetition to numeric information or names of people you've just met at a party.

Spaced repetition is one of the only ways to learn names in my experience. If I learn someone’s name and then don’t see them again for 2 weeks, chances are I will have forgotten. Even if I see them once a month for a year, there’s a good chance I will forget each time.

If I see them the next day after I learned their name I will remember. If I see them a week after that I will still remember. If I see them a month after that chances are I will still remember.

If I had first e.g. read the person’s academic paper or a few of their blog posts or the like, there’s a good chance putting a face to the name once will be sufficient.

* * *

If you can get a photo of the person, then you can work learning their name into some kind of deliberate flash card routine, and that will be more effective overall than relying on chance encounters and less embarrassing than repeatedly asking.

I would recommend that teachers of lecture courses put a few minutes a day into doing spaced repetition of students’ faces/names, starting before the start of the term: teachers who can remember students’ names make a big impression.
Is it? Scientists and PR firms get funded by big donors. Professional scientists are typically honest, but which studies get funded are picked by people that aren't necessarily. The public sort of understands that things generally are arrayed against them though they can't necessarily explain why mechanistically.

In this case, it might be even simpler than that. It might be that regardless of what they believe about scientists and the formal logic of their assignment, they just don't like being forced to say things they despise. This could be seen as noble though its not exactly a plus for debating.
Csv2db – A little DB loader for CSV files written in Python
Dotfiles are another story. I would prefer my dotfiles to be in source control, but they're not yet, as I haven't gotten to checking out the Nix community's tooling for that, and I prefer to not actually version my whole home folder (at least on machines where my actual work is done in the home folder.)

I think so far my preference might actually be to just have a separate folder, separately versioned, containing my nix expressions for doing work, centrally. But then I kinda want a system for launching into them so I'm not constantly calling nix-shell manually, and that's where I wonder if I actually just want some more tooling for this here.

It absolutely can be.
Not impossible, just impractical unless silence is incredibly important. If you want a quiet helicopter then you do what you can to reduce the noise signiture, then you might consider destructive interference. You wouldn’t use speakers, but that’s not the only way to produce a noise. In fact a clever country might even figure out how to use an arrangement of blades and fans designed to produce noise in such a way that it tends to cancel out the loudest contributions to the signature.

Buuuut... that’s not really viable for anything civilian or even commercial.
You’re right, I was looking at max motor rpm, whoops!
This is also pretty huge from an ecosystem point of view. It means you can have books, video series, tutorials etc. targeting this final feature set which is very nice. Not that it's a huge issue but it's cool to buy a programming book knowing that it'll contain a language that will not change for a long time. It's not a huge deal, I own the PragProg book (I don't recall if it's >=1.6 or if there was a version before) but now I know I'll very likely get the 1.8-version when it is released.
Elixir have better syntax because it's familiar.

I did play around with Erlang a few time. I really love the comma and period. It really nest and group the function patterns together.

For Elixir you just have to put them near each other. The function are enclose in a do/end block. And you put those similar pattern function next to each other. I believe you can move those pattern function around.

Other than that I can't recall much else. Prolog syntax is foreign but I'll admit I can see myself learning Erlang pretty fast since the language isn't "big" compare to Java or Scala. Like wise Elixir is a small language too with added macro (I don't recall Erlang got this) feature. Elixir also have better tooling baked in (mix/hex, doc, lint, etc...).

Also the Erlang community sucks. This is my personal experience but I vividly recall attending a meetup. The group meetup have a discussion about Erlang's adoption and how to get better adoption. I told them Ruby got popular because RoR other wise people would have chose Python and call it a day. Erlang should really have a killer framework like a web framework. Everybody thought it was ridiculous.

And you know what? Elixir came along and so did Phoenix. Phoenix may not be the only thing that got Elixir popular, Elixir got toolings from the get go. Jose and those people are from the industry they know what was needed. They came from Ruby.

My thought exactly. This is just another example of our shrinking vocabulary. Intensifiers in particular seem to have collapsed into an undifferentiated mass.

Right, we're already in the neo-feudal dystopia. Corporations like Facebook grant us land to create effectively all of the value, and then profit nearly exclusively from the 100% tax on our data they demand. Urbit at least in principle was an attempt to move in the right direction.

I went through ur comment history and I have to say that I respect you.

It isn’t meant to directly compare this to witch hunting. It’s a case of people overlooking brutality because witches are bad anyway right? There are zillions of examples of this. It’s the concept that’s important. Saying that the technique of lying is ok because it gets rid or murderers is wrong especially in light of the fact that there are other ways to do it.

And yes, there is a grey area where interrogators don’t outright lie but are still highly deceptive. I don’t care about the grey area, I just care that police are allowed to outright lie. That is not grey. The example that I illustrated reveals how sinister the police can be. It is more emotionally stirring than mechanical lying. But the interrogator did reveal her title and so whatever. Seriously twisted still. But making outright lying routine is wrong. I don’t want to live in a world where police tell flat out lies to people. That is why we have Miranda rights. Under your logic there should be no reading of Miranda rights, allowing the police to tell the suspect literally anything like “if you don’t confess we will do x” or “you have to tell us something or you’ll be locked up forever” or whatever. Miranda rights exist for an extremely good reason. And stopping outright lying is a continuation of the spirit of Miranda rights.
I meant "sticky" in that when I tried to evaluate NixOS vs CoreOS Container Linux + Ignition (this was a while ago), nix was much harder to install and use than suggested. I ended up going with Container Linux for that very reason and didn't look back.

There was also an issue with nix and docker compatibility that I ran into w/ nix-docker[0], but I don't remember what it was.

Here are some videos I found in my history back when I was exploring Nix (watched in end of 2017/early 2018 I believe):

It's entirely possible my anecdata is too old to be useful. Maybe nix is much easier to use (and use correctly) these days. One example of where Nix should have been able to pick up mindshare is with the same people who value linuxkit[1]. Maybe this is is another marketing/branding/hype/money disparity thing but `nix-build '<something>' -A vm` looks like exactly what linuxkit is being lauded/promoted for being a good tool for, and it's been around for so much longer.

> When building a project against a framework...

That still implies active maintenance, ie doing new builds.

If it's assumed to work with the "latest version", but then breaks in the future, it is a decision outside of the build itself as to which version of the library it should link up with.

The only thing that should be baked into the software is which specific version of the dynamic lib it was compatible with, then externally the system can determine which most-recent version of the library is still compatible.
they don't build it this way because cloud is cheap and slow. I have a UCS farm with 2000VMs, connected to 3PB of usable all-flash across 2 arrays, replicated active/active to another array, second-hopped to cloud. That's one site. About 100k users across 2 domains - 1k? I said enterprise. A SAN is not scalable but internal disk is? You need to look up what a SAN is.

The reason there is a standing joke with your coworkers is because you don't work on important things that run the world. When 1 minute of downtime costs you over $1mil, your "ripped off" Oracle costs, your SAN costs, etc, are lost in the rounding errors. I can have a SAN have hundreds of arrays, across multiple datacenters, and dynamically grow and shrink my storage needs. It is the definition of scalable. I can have one VM farm vmotion to another VM farm 30 miles away transparently, which will sit on a different array attached to the SAN. What happens when the storage needs of your server outgrow the drives you can shove in there? There are servers and databases a petabyte in size, pushing a million IOPS. They're in charge of money. If there is corruption on the SAN, well it infrequently happens, just like with servers and memory. Twice in my vast experience. You can roll back all writes on the replication software, and usually keep an undo journal a few days long, and something like hourly snapshots. This also protects against cryptoviruses and other types of corruption.

This is why people like you work at small companies, fiddling with your cute little projects, while the world moves forward with you on the sidelines. I've been doing this for 20+ years, and have been at most fortune100 companies, in 80 countries. But yeah, your opinion, while being dismissive, is cute.

The CIO is the guy in charge of getting this stuff at enterprises. It's clear you don't understand the impact of design. I am guessing you are not at an architect level. There's a reason for that, and a reason other people - the ones you put down in your post, are making the big decisions. People like you would cost the company millions of dollars in loss per year.

That is insane, like the worst of the Pentium4 NetBurst era when AMD was competitive at the high end and Intel decided to try to clock their way out of the problem. Granted this is a one-off chip to grab headlines and not a long term micro-architecture commitment.

But between this and the fiasco when Intel announced a 28-core 5 GHz chip[0] (without mentioning the 1800 W industrial water chiller needed to cool it), it's starting to sound desperate in its attempts to deflect attention from AMD's EPYC and Threadripper high-core-count chips.

Guix and GuixSD are definitely interesting. I am currently running Guix on top of Fedora for my desktop and just recently started running GuixSD on my laptop. Probably my favorite feature that I use the most is guix environment which can help me set up all the necessary packages needed to build and work on projects.

I think there is a lot of hidden potential in Guix, especially with the choice of Guile as the language. The article demonstrates a bit of what you can do from Guile with some small script examples. A lot of the functionality of Guix is exposed and can be used to create tools and scripts. I sort of wonder what interesting tools and scripts will be made using this.

I think the approach taken by these phone manufacturers a tually makes a lot of sense.

Most developers won't admit it but a lot of apps are quite terrible nowadays. Yes it is very convenient that your app does something in the background that is maybe useful, but it's only one app. When you have 30-40 apps installed w/o auto kill, the battery drainage is terrible.

For me moving from LG to Xiaomi was great in terms of battery life. And yes, sometimes there are app which shouldn't be killed but it's easy enough to change their setting in the battery saver.
And really these are only few, most app deserve the auto kill, as they abuse the priviledge of being able to run in the background.
