“Deploys can signal culture.“

They can signal culture maybe. But if you tell your back end team that you think their culture is bad because of not enough deploys they will crank up the number of deploys without fixing any of the deeper issues. All metrics like number of deploys , tickets closed , story points, number of commits are interesting data points but you should never try to optimize for them. Doing so signals lazy management that likes to beat around the bushes.
Excellent work with Trail Router - looks super nifty!

For years several Elixir cargo cult members are trying to preach to the Rails community to make the move and join them. But performance! But functional programming!
Nobody cares guys. If performance and functional programming were critical in our domain we wouldn't have been Rails programmers right? I suspect most of the Ruby devs who got bored with Ruby already made the move to Elixir. The rest just read posts like this with amusement. As if concurrency is all we think about at work.
I think it drives some of the behaviors, yes. If more people were okay with sex work, doxing would be less of a fear for both sides.

OTOH, In general, even sex-positive people often (and have a right to) prefer to keep the details of their escapades as to themselves as possible.

I -do- think there's a lot of room here for better platforms for sellers -and- buyers, but it's an industry nobody wants to get into because of all the bookkeeping and risk involved.
Shopify is an insanely huge e-commerce platform (and a $100B company). I'd say their developers are pretty productive with Ruby on Rails.
I recently watched the documentary "Planet of the Humans". For context, the writer of the documentary is an environmentalist.

One of the stated points was that solar and wind cannot be relied upon 24/7 -- to account for the lack of reliability, you need to have a backup power generator (e.g. coal power plant) running. The thing about coal plants (does it apply to natural gas plants too?) is that if you "idle" them, then have to ramp them up to feed demand, then later ramp them down -- it's a very inefficient way of running them. Now based on my understanding, it might be more efficient to just run the coal plant (or natural gas planet?) 24x7, in which case you've just added waste with the use of solar/wind. How much truth is there to this?

I rented a server from Digital Ocean, installed nginx and Go, and wrote a web server. No frameworks on the front or backend, just HTML, CSS, and a couple of small scripts. And I wrote my own authentication and admin pages to manage everything from the browser.

The preexisting logistics centers are designed to take a pallet of item X and allocate different amounts of it to different boxes each going to a different smallish shop; doing so in an multi-hour cycle (2-3 times a day?) to ensure that every type of product is distributed along these boxes. During this process they also put part of the product not in "delivery truck going to shop A" but to "delivery truck going to home deliveries". It does need some ripping of bigger blocks of procuct and repackaging to bags, but it happens at the same time as they're ripping even bigger blocks of product for supplying stores and shelves.

But the essential difference is the "push vs pull" - instead of one delivery pulling items from everywhere (which is a new process that grocery chains did not have) you have the supply process pushing items to many delivery targets, which is a process that grocery chains already have and have optimized.
What are your thoughts on companies like Basecamp, Gitlab doing remote so well?
Maybe its trunk was too phallic.
A tendency can be shown to be present in all known categories of samples (justifying 'Iron') , while not occuring in every single sample, making it a tendency.

Separately, tendency can mean a type of outcome is more likely, or that there is an underlying force acting in a direction, regardless of whether that force is cancelled by other forces.
I'm sorry, I drew about 50 faces with phallic noses. It probably learned from me.
Beginning work on solving the metadata problem in classical music. Specifically, for those of us who either buy CDs or download tracks from the Web--the metadata is generally badly formatted, partial, in the wrong language, inconsistent from track to track, etc.

The hoped-for result is that you can run the tool on a directory and it will identify the files correctly and insert the metadata so that it is all consistent and correct. You can then copy the files to your favorite devices, and easily find what you want, make playlists easily, etc.

My current stage is researching the current tools, which are all (so far) partial solutions and IMHO cumbersome to use.
I consider myself fairly technical but this read like something out of Silicon Valley (Weissman score!) to me. Hats off!
Last I checked, the DPA doesn't allow seizure, just forced manufacturing for a price. I'm not sure about the specifics, but it sounds like the theory is that there's at least a little profit in the price used under the DPA.

I only run their software in a Windows VM since it installs background services (AAMUpdater, AdobeGCClient) that don't go away even after uninstalling and using their cleanup tool. Not to mention the terrible cloud integration that hangs Chrome after trying to rebuild the font cache out of nowhere.

It's pretty much spyware behavior at this point. Like with certain video games DRM, Adobe software is one of those cases where the pirated version is actually better than the paid one.

I can't speak about wind (not my expertise), but for solar, the energy payback is about 1-year in operation for current installations, with a predicted 30-year lifespan. Compare this against estimates for the energy cost of bringing gasoline to market which can exceed 30%.

The Big Picture of Covid-19
Do people have experience of that ever being a success? Because I would ball park it and say my team can still basically be productive at 33% growth per year - for every 1 new employee you need about 3 established employees. I've got to imagine that the vast majority of those new employees don't know what they're' meant to be doing, and let's face it, they've probably got 16 different people doing the exact same infrastructure job that 16 different teams thought was essential, hired for, and didn't trust anyone else to deliver.
A "potential side effect"? Don't be ridiculous. The primary purpose is increased connectivity. Will they profit off that increased connectivity? Yes. But so will a lot of others. Including many Africans who will be able to take advantage of new opportunities unlocked by connecting the continent.
I happen to entirely agree with you, but the counterargument is that a treatment (not vaccine) becomes available earlier which makes the incidence of actual lasting damage from wuflu so low as to not warrant any more shutdown.
More power to people selling if it works for them, I'm just concerned they aren't thinking about their futures. As crass as people will say this is, selling your body is selling access to a depreciating asset. While they might be making good money now, eventually these girls will grow up. Slowly they'll see subscribers dip, but only enough for them to think they can adjust their product.

But there will always be someone younger, or just newer, and what they are selling won't be a "hot commodity" any more. At that point to either drop out broke, or creep towards more hardcore offerings.

Eventually they'll be burned out of the system, they'll have burned through their early career, likely with little to show for it, and with no real career skills or plan.
Sounds like a bullshit purity test.

This is putting words in the mouths of other people and is close to a flame bait. (Not to mention your gross generalization of the members of a not-small community.)

1. The Elixir community doesn't seem to aim for popularity (at least several important maintainers have said so on ElixirForum).

2. The tech is useful, scales very well and helps with the hosting costs by using less resources. That's an objective fact, proven in many blog posts where people sat down and measured.

3. Concurrency and parallelism are extremely important and will get more and more important as our CPUs can't get faster single-core performance and are just getting more cores.

It's OK if you don't care about any of those things. Really. I personally never got offended if something I like is disliked by others (as we should all).

But making a strawman and then crushing it is not a productive way to discuss either.
Lol. The reason costs are so high is because there is severe political pressure to keep them that way from contractors, unions, etc, and we're rich enough to afford it.

For context, we have 4 million miles of road in the US. So even with $100m/mile, we're talking trillions of dollars before we even get to the actual feasibility of putting rail everywhere.

Rail is great, but there's no world where it does the same thing self-driving vehicles would.

'Senator Richard M. Burr of North Carolina temporarily stepped down on Thursday as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a day after F.B.I. agents seized his cellphone as part of an investigation into whether he sold hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stocks using nonpublic information about the coronavirus.

'The seizure and an accompanying search for his electronic storage accounts, confirmed by an investigator briefed on the case, represented a significant escalation of the inquiry by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. They suggest that Mr. Burr, a Republican and one of the most influential members of Congress, may be in serious legal jeopardy.

'Given the sensitivity surrounding the decision to obtain a search warrant on a sitting senator, the move was approved at the highest levels of the department, a senior Justice Department official said, meaning that Attorney General William P. Barr signed off on it. The warrant to obtain Mr. Burr’s phone was served to his lawyer, and investigators took Mr. Burr’s phone from him at his home, according to the official who, like the investigator, spoke on the condition of anonymity to publicly discuss the case.'

Until there exists 100% clean options for the entire pipeline of resource extraction, transport, assembly, distribution, etc., there will still be fossil fuel involvement in 'clean energy generation'. Can't really make clean energy cleanly unless we have clean energy to make it in the first place.

Resource extraction / recycling is a whole other issue of course.
Interesting point about a style, but it sounds like the kind of rule that's meant to be broken.

The specific point about a gun seems even worse. It's cliche to show a gun early on that leads to some tragedy later, and bothers me when I see that done in a TV show/movie. It ties too much into an inanimate object when they could be developing a character. And in a lot of settings, guns are all around and have little to do with the actual story.

This is a relatively good point. In the California electricity market, the increase in renewables results in a very large power-ramp rate in the late afternoon (nothing unique to California). In general, more-efficient power plants either cannot, or lose efficiency, when changing operating power levels. A ~60% efficient combined-cycle gas plant cannot ramp power very much, which results in the grid building and running more ~40% efficient gas turbines, which can ramp their power output in order to meet the early-evening power ramp.
Interestingly, at this point, adding more Solar to the California grid results in very little emissions reduction, since the additional solar displaces efficient baseload generation with inefficient ramp-able load. The solution, of course, is storage.
And hello from Chandler :)
This rumor makes perfect sense. Taiwan is looking at US to shield it from Chinese influence. Moving manufacturing to US and building on top of strong American-Taiwanese collaboration (which already exists) only makes sense. The US has strong laws for IP protection, has proper constitutional values and doesn't steal technologies on a whim without due process. Taiwan has benefited greatly from the US and the US has benefited greatly from Taiwan.

I just wish American president was someone like the Taiwanese president. She is a strong, powerful and smart lady.
It's a custom sensor in the lidar family. Uses infrared lasers as illumination and generates depth data. Essentially millions of height values. When depth is rendered to be human legible it look looks like greyscale silhouettes (dark grey is far away, lighter gray is nearer). Sensor processes those values on the edge and published +1/-1 and telemetry data (system health).
A question is - what do they do with the waste from treatment. One former superfund site near the house I grew up in in South San Jose wasn't because they dumped toxic chemicals or water directly in the ground, but that they sealed them on site and the containment mechanism failed and they ended up leaking into the groundwater.

I could only assume they have much better monitoring of these situations nowadays.

I thought the same as you but then I realized that the investment in a tech stack is basically done only once and almost never revisited.

Then people go on all sorts of crazy journeys to justify their investments in pain and burned money.

Even though I get downvoted at places in this thread (and upvoted generously on others), I will never tell to people "you should always just rewrite to Elixir". Meh. If your app works fine, have it be in COBOL or PL/1 if that helps you do your job better.

But as you said, when your app/hosting starts struggling you should start rethinking your choices if all the lower-hanging fruit has been already collected.
Thanks for a very comprehensive description. It's a good response. Maybe Pittsburgh compares better to Cleveland?

> Technically, it makes sense. If I type a list comprehension in Python, it would run at higher speed and lower power on a SIMD or MIMD platform.

That assumes the operations, data types, and data arrangement are such that they are vectorizable. In databases at least this kind of optimization is typically done by hand because there are so many constraints. You can't just turn on a flag in the code and make it happen automatically. [1]

> If Phoenix wants to increase their adoption, then I think they need to accept that things like this matter.

It's gonna be tough for them really, even if it's a great framework (I have no idea). Elixir didn't take off like Golang or other languages from the last decade. It seems to have quite the learning curve, so for beginners any of ruby / php or even .net / java will make much more sense. For seniors...idk. Not everyone like functional programming. I do hear praise for the language I can't deny it and what seems like a tiny but vibrant community, but the numbers are just not there.
I hope Elixir can maintain it's niche and not outright die just because I know some people rely on it for their pay check but honestly I'm not sure if we'll still have these discussions 5 years from now.
Nuclear back up? Nuclear is good for base loads, not for peak loads.
This is poor science, and very weak support for 'definitely'.

I didn't watch this all the way through this time, but I do recall watching it back in 2017 when it was posted -- IIRC he did this experiment <sic>, asserting all variables were controlled for, but in a garage with leaky walls, on a poorly insulated floor, with no control test and only once, in one location.

Consider that hurricanes don't form within 5 degrees (~ 550km) of the equator - which gives a good indicator of just how strong (or not) the Coriolis effect is.

Trump Campaign 404 Page
On-boarding mostly happens before users even install it:

1) Run the page by users unfamiliar with it, and see if they'd install it, why, or why not. Especially language learners (e.g. go into a Chinese classroom). DON'T tell them what it is -- users don't have you to walk you through it ("I wrote this app. I'll buy you a coffee if you tell me what you think of it....")

2) Explain what the app is on the app's page. I can't tell.

3) Definitely show a clear feature table comparing free / paid. Is it usable if I don't pay you?

4) Shoot a video showing the app in use. That's super-concrete.

4.7 stars suggests it's good. 73 ratings suggests no one is using it. Your landing page is horrible. That connects the two.

I'm also not sure about the pricing model. $80/year suggests a pretty complete course. Is that what it is?
