Hey, I am so glad to hear this. My sentiments are somewhat similar. My Elixir project didn't get traction so I am back to Rails and some other tech, but definitely Elixir is the future.
Now as far as Rails go, this can be my super power.

I see a lot of Nodejs project struggle and reinvent things that people in Rails community take for granted. Like Nuxt.js for example.
I've had to remove a lot of the stuff from mine because, turns out, when I hit certain modifier'd key combos with my left hand I tend to rest my right ring finger at the top of one of the number keys... close enough to the touchbar to trigger it. Didn't know that about myself, but now I do, and I've had to clear out about half my touchbar to keep it from being a problem. Turns out if you press "play/pause" on there, it opens iTunes. Took me a while to figure out why that kept opening for "no reason".
Also a little stumped by this choice. It didn't used to be this way even just a month or two ago.

Quite inconvenient.
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Life is complicated. It seems now that it's way more complicated than at any time in our past, but I think the truth is more likely that we didn't see it was complicated back then because a lot was shielded from us. We just didn't need to worry about it as kids. Plus, we have the world at our fingertips now and didn't back then. We have access to so much information that it's all but impossible to sift through it all and figure out what can be trusted and what can't. Nobody can keep up.

This is why none of us are masters of everything and we tend to specialize in niches. We want to be told the truth by an authority because we don't have the time to dig into everything ourselves. We want happy fulfilling lives. That means we can't look at everything with our own eyes, we need to be able to trust authorities. The less we can trust what we're being told, the more we have to research ourselves, the less time we're able to spend doing what we love with the people we love, the more miserable and disconnected our lives become.

We need to be told the truth by an authority and we need them to have the integrity to chase the truth and deliver it to us honorably.

It's not that we're not good at looking at the world with our own eyes, it's not that we're not capable, it's that we just don't have the time and we've run out of the energy to do so.

They may be called "functions" in the programming language you use but they are conceptually not "functions" as understood by the Functional Programming community and mathematics. This discussion about Alan Kay's "concept" of Object Orientation is much on the conceptual level, so we need to also consider that is the "concept" of 'Function'.

Exactly. This is how the medical device industry does it. One important part you skipped was the mandatory audits of the development process (often with little or no warning: FDA audit team announces that they'll be there tomorrow).

I am interested in pursuing a PhD in Pure Mathematics. What are the career prospects for it? Based on what I read academic prospects don't seem too thrilling. It appears you may have to do multiple post-docs at low pay, and still not be able to be hired at a good school. What is the path to becoming a professor and making a livable salary?

If that is the case what are the industry prospects? Would whatever software company want to hire you, if your pure math specialization isn't directly applicable to what they're focused on? In turn, it seems better to learn how to code. But will your pure math specialization (as in not applicable to anything anyone is doing) + coding abilities set you apart?

I would rather study mathematics, pure mathematics and not be unemployable. But I don't really know what the job prospects are like. Could you speak to that, say, from a realistic perspective?

These are certainly broad categories you're putting people into. I'm a ruby developer who wears t-shirts and jeans on the regular, have no tattoos, and shave with a Gillette Mach 3 razor (lol).

I'm definitely older and more mature now but I'd don't necessarily think that makes it closer to the Python community culturally nor that the two dev communities were ever that far apart to begin with.
> too much fish defecating and feeding in the same cubic meters of water

Please don't spread fake ideas created for propaganda purposes without a minimum of critical thinking. This is false.

Maybe you aren't aware of this, but the water in marine aquaculture tanks is replaced constantly by fresh, clean water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the pumps stop the fishes would die in hours. Not to mention that many, many species of fishes love to school and feel much better when are crowded. Specially when they are young.

Some fishes just do not care about being kept in water of lower quality. Carps for example work tirelessly to mudd its tank stirring sediments from the bottom. Are brain-wired to do this. Aquaculture of marine fishes is a totally different world than Pangasius or Tilapia aquaculture.

It's very common in rural Asia. Users share apks via P2P file sharing. Typically one person in the village will set up everyone's phone for them. Usually with all apps preloaded, but they're actually quite savvy about adding and removing apps once they get going, since they're on phones with such low internal storage. If you want to make it into these markets, you need to make your app side-loadable
I'm not sure I agree with most of this post. Firstly, a userland socket mux/demux implementation isn't such an insurmountable challenge. It's essentially the core of a good http/2 implementation. If you've got a good HTTP/2 implementation, you've necessarily got a good mux/demux solution.

> Now if HAProxy makes multiple connections to the backend each one gets served by its own thread+socket and that's going to load much faster because at the very least it's going to get more attention from the OS.

I'm not sure what you're basing this on. What is the technical definition of "more attention from the OS." If anything, limiting things down to a single process over one connection will improve latency. It'll can help minimize memory copies if you get volume because you'll get more than one frame per read (and you certainly aren't serving a L>4 protocol out of your NIC). Most importantly, it'll remove connection establishment and teardown costs. These aren't free.

Now, if you really are loading backends so that responsiveness is a problem, you'll need to appeal to whatever load balancing solution you have on hand. But most folks agree that this is faster.

> Furthermore, if you use the keepAlive header, and set long timeouts, then you don’t even have to pay the connection penalty.

But you still have head-of-line blocking, so you're still spamming N connections per client to get that concurrency factor. Connections aren't free, they have state and take up system resources. You'll serve more clients with one backend if you take up less resources per connection.

> So essentially you’ve shifted thread management to HAProxy by virtue of its parallel connections which keeps the webserver code pretty simple.

I don't think this is true at all. If you want to serve connections in parallel or access resources relevant to your service in parallel, you're going to need to do that. You can of course choose to NOT do this and spam a billion processes rather than use concurrency.

> And in a C++ program simplicity is key to correctness

I don't think this is unique to C++, but I'm also not sure it's really relevant here. From an application backend's perspective, it's very much the same model. They need a model that supports re-entrant request serving.
It doesn't say they're paying the ransom.
>> sell it for a couple bucks.

I would disagree with you on that point and say charge premium pricing ($10+) if the app is good.

People in general seem to think that they are entitled to a lot of support from App Store apps, even if the price is a buck (or to use the overused cliche of "less than a cup of coffee").

IMO, the higher price can help get rid of high support/low revenue users who can suck the life out of you.

My browser is open when my computer is running. I do updates at random times through-out the day, for example before installing new packages. Having to close my browser leads to dead sessions and text being lost from input fields and whatever other state there might be.

My guess is that this is some per-tab isolation/process stuff that would result in a mismatch between tabs from before the update and tabs after the update.

Good question about ratings and cigarette smoking. Some quick googling pulled up this well-researched article [1] last updated a year ago that does indicate that the MPAA is more inclined to give an R rating to movies that show smoking, although they do consider some of the context. If it's a historical piece that had real-world smokers, they're more inclined to not let the smoking factor into the ratings because then it gets in the way of the intent of the writer/director to make the movie realistic.

They are more inclined to allow smoking if it's used to make smoking look bad (the smoker is slovenly, coughs a lot, etc) or if the smoker has smoking-related consequences (lung cancer, being made fun of, etc).

Television is a bit more nuanced. The TV ratings (TV-MA, TV-PG, etc) are self-assigned by the network showing the show according to their own guidelines, or a collection of amorphous industry "best practices".

There is also a difference between Broadcast Network television and cable television. Cable television doesn't seem to feel a restriction on showing smoking characters, but a show on Network television that wants to have a character smoke has to work really hard to get approval. Here is an example from the NBC series "The Mick" [2] where they state:

"When the Chernin brothers first mentioned to the writing staff that they wanted to do an episode about Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) and Sabrina (Sofia Black-D’Elia) smoking, we knew it would be a challenge. On cable, the characters can smoke themselves into oblivion, but on network television — let’s just say Mom and Dad don’t approve.

So, how did we get the network to agree to a smoking episode? And why?

Simply put, we were all excited about telling a story where Mickey and Sabrina’s bad habit and selfishness would affect the family, specifically Ben (Jack Stanton). We just had to convince the network that this wasn’t an episode glorifying smoking; it was an episode condemning it. Thankfully, Fox is like the cool parent of the network world and believed in our take enough to let us push the boundaries and show the characters actually smoking."

So, it seems that television is more under the pressure of either wanting to "do the right thing" or not upsetting anti-smoking advocates that could perhaps start a campaign to get a show canceled.

> the blog Zerohedge and video hosting platform Liveleak.

Let's say I get why they'd block 4chan and 8chan, but blocking a blog is just over the top. Liveleak I also half-understand, but I also don't approve of it, for a while it was one of the best online video resources on the atrocities committed by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, just hiding our unwanted images under the rug won't help much.

Later edit: For example videos of the Tikrit massacre [1] are only available on Liveleak (I'm talking of the "mainstream" web), YouTube has nothing on it. It is my very strong opinion that we need these images to remain in the public psyche so that we'll try our best not to make the same mistakes again, and by censoring access to this kind of videos we're not helping with any of that.

While you are technically correct, I think the distinction between server-side and client-side matters here.

Many people started with javascript out of necessity, but then began using it in many areas outside of scripting for web pages. And server-side JS is very different than client-side JS in many ways.

I haven't used Node, but I think it's funny how they tout asynchronous IO via callbacks. Meanwhile the BEAM has that plus asynchronous computation - you just write synchronous code and let the scheduler pause your BEAM process as needed.

If you don't have to write code to deal with the computer pausing your unix process to run a different one, and you don't have to write code to deal with the VM pausing your code to run garbage collection, why would you have to explicitly write code to deal with a pause for IO?
